Aldrich stood there in silence That date - he had alh for e past the iced over surface of his undead heart

The pain The loss The helplesness

Then, the rage The desire for vengeance

It all ca instant

October 30th, 2117

The day he died As well as two of his closest friends

'This can't be a coincidence,' thought Aldrich 'It just can't Vanguard dies, or at the very least, goes dark on the exact day that I die? There has to be a connection here There ht popped into his head: was he the heir to Vanguard's power? His gut reaction was a no Vanguard's poas drauard was for all intents and purposes basically a 'flying brick' super He was ultra durable, ultra strong, and he could fly The th always increased, and against tough foes, it continually scaled upwards

Records showed that at first, Vanguard was not a recognizable Alter When the Altering first broke out, Vanguard, in a biography, professed that he tore thea small steel beam to save a few trapped people

But the her he got

Struggling to lift a steel bea to lift ato lift a boulder beca

And so on and so forth until eventually, at the height of the Monstering, Vanguard reached levels of power against the titans that could only be described as unreachable, when lifting up entire islands and flattening es becaame element poas completely different frouard's power had been a for, one thaton who used it?

"Does that datenote of Aldrich's extended silence

"I was trying to figure out whether the date was of any significance Unfortunately, I don't think so," said Aldrich He should not be letting telling silence like that show, especially not to someone powerful and, as of now, nificant to me, either," said Eood idea of when Vanguard's poill re-ainst Aldrich being the heir If Vanguard's journaled inforain in the future, then that auto the heir out as he already had his powers

"When?" asked Aldrich, though his tone was more of a demand than a question

"Six e Around that tiuard defined as potential locations for his power's manifestation

You will be part of that surveillance"

"Any other details? How exactly does the power manifest? Who does it look for? And so on"

E if that infors are cryptic at best"

"How can you trust that inforuard'scould easily have been the ras of a madman

"I cannot trust it," aduard's last correspondence a trust and lucidity that I, as someone who had limited contact with the hero, lacked

I uard's state ofI have never known him to lose a bet, hence, why I worked with hi to ith you, for it appears that Superranted you that eye indicates to me that he would have wanted you on this search"

E Aldrich the All-Seeing Eye

To Aldrich, it had see that Superer

'It takes an Irregular to beat an Irregular' were the venerated hero's words

But maybe it was not just that Maybe Super er At the ver

y least, E this deal, but I have conditions," said Aldrich

"I expected that Naoing to be using my property to reinforce Panopticon defenses, I want to see how it's done," said Aldrich "I want to be present to know exactly what it is the Panopticon will do to replicatein the Judicata"

This, Aldrich wanted to figure out whether the Panopticon could replicate ic and, if they could, how they did it
