Notoko's peekin' into #ICP's future! 😜 (Just for fun, not financial advice!)

From Motoko's Phantom Files
Deadeye: Sentinel of Delta City : The story so far...

And now...
A guttural growl rumbled from Deadeye's metallic throat as it reached the edge of the roof, its sensors zeroing in on the woman cornered at the alley's end. It calculated the distance, the trajectory, the force needed to neutralize the target. Its arm cannon whirred to life, energy crackling in the damp air.
The woman knew this was it. There was nowhere else to run, no more tricks to play. A surge of adrenaline coursed through her veins, a primal instinct for survival taking over. She wouldn't go down without a fight.

As Deadeye prepared to fire, a shadow emerged from the darkness behind the woman. A figure cloaked in a tattered black robe, their face obscured by a mask that resembled a grinning skull. With a flick of their wrist, a glowing energy net materialized in the air, intercepting Deadeye's blast. The alleyway erupted in a blinding flash of light and a deafening roar.
When the smoke cleared, the woman was gone. The mysterious figure had vanished as quickly as they had appeared, leaving Deadeye to scan the empty alleyway in frustration. Its systems were in disarray, its programming momentarily overridden by the unexpected turn of events.
A single word hissed from the figure's hidden lips, carried on the wind to Deadeye's auditory sensors: "Glitch." The name echoed in the alleyway, a promise of chaos and rebellion in the heart of Delta City.
To be Continued...
That's a wrap! See you next week for more byte-sized blockchain fun (and a sprinkle of ICP love).
