Yes, I am. Yes, I am weird.
Before him was a control console, made up of one large monitor surrounded by several smaller ones. One of the smaller ones contained constantly updated stats and another showed the hallway outside of windowless room he was in. But the large, main screen was what Derrick Scrivens was truly focused on. The screen which showed everything that CP-ZERO saw through its enhanced vision device. The device served two purposes really. One was to help CP-ZERO be more efficient with its work. The other was to serve as a camera, streaming what CP-ZERO saw to a preselected location, that being the control console that Scrivens currently sat in front of.
So far, CP-ZERO wasn't disappointing, not that Scrivens had expected it to. The two targets were putting up a fight, but they weren't just some ordinary volunteers. They were two of the best to once work for the company. It was too bad that they were no longer on the same side as the company. Of course, he felt nothing for them, nor did the higher ups who handed down the orders to eliminate the targets. It was nothing personal, just the nature of being in a business such as that.
In a way, Scrivens supposed that it could be considered the best and final test for CP-ZERO. Outside of a controlled environment. After two targets who had a lot of experience with dealing out death to others themselves. If everything went as planned, there would be no more doubts from anyone on just how effective and worth the funding CP-ZERO was. How worth funding the project further for a whole army of them would be. They would never question orders and they would always get the job done. They were perfect and could be utilized in countless ways.
Scrivens continued to watch the screen. He watched as CP-ZERO stalked the two targets through the parking garage, using its gun well against them. So far, it seemed like they'd managed to avoid the bullets and rockets it fired in their direction, but sooner or later, they would slip up. Sooner or later, their imperfections would shine through and even they, the great dealers of death, would meet their own deaths through CP-ZERO, just like the volunteers had before them and just like all targets would after them.
