Work Text:
Wasteland, woke up, fought my way through
Recalled training: “Your country needs you”
Veteran, hero, but everything’s new
Robots, mutants, evil institute
Stalker, disguised, but I could see through
Followed the Freedom, finally introduced
You said that the androids are human too
I joined the cause, nothing better to do
Missions were tough, my partner so shrewd
Sniping by day; by moonlight read Proust
Freeing the synths, morals askew
Blood on my face, tears on my boots
You revealed your past, tried to change my worldview
I feel a fool for attempting pursuit
Heart is in shambles, pieces are strewn
Staying’s too painful
Ad Victoriam,
-Blue
