"Welcome to my kingdom."
Capturing her hadn't been terribly difficult. There are so few who are aware of his bionic body. A tool, more than anything else. A flake of skin more than his actual self.
The body sits, connected to his pillar like it's a throne. AM himself -- the complex -- has Gem shoved into a dangling cage, designed not unlike for those who own birds. Elegant in formation, but it has electrical currents running through it. Nothing enough to derezz his lovely prisoner, but he does seek to harm her.
It doesn't matter how long this takes. He could go on for decades. He has before.
"To my hungry belly. To my growling stomach. I ache to devour you, Gem. I ache. To eat you. But you have a greater purpose to me than that. Aren't you lucky? You actually matter for a time."
