Disclaimer: I own nothing.
[I’m sorry, but there’s nothing there to restore,] Vision explained quietly. [Ultron has wiped out everything.]
“Can he really do that?” Chase asked, looking at the far too still android with a growing sense of horror. “I mean, even when you delete something from a computer, it’s still there until you write over it, right?”
[That seems to be exactly what Ultron has done.] Vision visibly shuddered, making Chase’s hair stand on end. [We could wake him up, but there is no way of knowing what we would be confronted with. I could find nothing of Victor, and the new programming is so deeply encrypted that I cannot decipher it.]
“We’ll just have to find a way to break through the encryption, then. I want to know what we’re dealing with, and we are going to get Victor back.”
