Radiopath/Becoming

Eventually Niska's location was discovered, and a strike force was assembled. Many of the members who enlisted ensured Fen that nobody would think less of him if he didn't want to enter that place again, but he tagged on regardless. While some thought he was crazy for it, Fen knew that deep down that the affliction his body was making him feel was almost like an addiction for his old mods, and he had to make sure he got them back.

The team arrived to find the base empty, and each of the specialized member went about their own ways for finding clues. Figuring the entrance was covered well enough, Fen decided to hunt on his own for what he was looking for. What he found infuriated him. A crate with velvet interior, and his old cybernetics that were ripped out of him arranged like trophies inside. The cyborg quickly opened his fingertips and began replacing the new modules and lenses with the old, he did the same for his thigh capacitors. The rest of the pieces would wait until surgery to be replaced.

A trap was sprung, and after the fighting cleared, Niska came in to survey the dead heroes. What he got was a burned crater in the floor where his 'Destroyer' drone ambushed the strike force. The man was arrested and brought into custody. Fen walked out of that hole with his old parts and new realizations, as well as a slight peace of mind.

Aboard the BROFIST '09 station, Fen looked at his old spine mod, some of his older cannon modules that didn't get swapped back in, and his old capacitors. Before him lied a possibility to become more than a weapon. With almost obsessive dedication, Fenwick tore the cybernetics infront of him apart on his workbench. Many of his old cannon modules were taken to pieces and refurbished into transmitters. His old cyber-spine had a portion removed and replaced with the wiring and casing of a communication antenna. The generators in his capacitor were removed and replaced with computer parts that could act as media connectors for various accessories.

Eventually Fen finished his work and beheld his new parts. They were installed and Fen saw that they worked. He could use the transmitters in his fingers to coat a friend with a sonic barrier that would deflect harm. The wiring in his spine let him better reroute communications and bolster his team's abilities to keep in touch and share information.

This realization let Fen also see the need to return to the land of the living. A problem was, however, that most of his records were destroyed alongside the original B.R.O.F.I.S.T base. His parents weren't an option; the realization that not was their son alive, but also a mutant-gene carrying cyborg made it clear that they'd prefer him long gone. Fen made a desperate call.

Tormey McDough, his father's brother, flew to Paragon from County Cork to meet Fen. Fen hadn't seen the man since he was five, and the exchange was awkward. A wealthy man who was also the inherent of the land that made up the McDough Estate, Tormey saw taking Fen back as a boon. Not only would it give the cyborg a family tie again, but it would also be a biting last laugh to Fen's father. There were also possible perks to having a nephew who was a potent meta. While Tormey tried convincing Fen to return to Cork, Fen ultimately made the point that he was still needed in Paragon with his friends, the only other people Fen considered his family.

With Designation Meteor Howl long gone, Fenwick McDough resurfaced (After a hell of paperwork). It was a new chapter of life, and the final step to becoming the hero Fen always dreamed of being. Fen felt like things were finally falling into place.
