For several long moments after Model Zero had finished speaking Arctic said nothing, did not move a muscle as he looked over the android. His assessment was the same one that Arctic had made years ago, Wrath was the muscle behind the pair and Zex the brains. It was part of why they had been so hard to compete with. Arctic could thrash Zex if he wanted, even kill him if he was alone, but that was the problem he was never alone. Confident in his own abilities killing the pair was not beyond the scope of his power, but such a fight would not be quick and there was no way to keep it quiet. To outright kill them was something he could not hope to pull off without the mayhem erupting in the Collective.
The silence was broken by a small chuckle, a rare noise for the Icejin. This robot did have potential, but he wondered if Model Zero himself saw it. Sure he had been told of his own potential and heard Ivan or the Doctor spout it many times, but did he believe it.
”A sound assessment Model Zero. After testing your skills and speed against Wrath himself do you believe he is truly unbeatable? What I mean is do you believe in time you will be able to match him? I have been told many times the potential you possess yet I have never heard you comment on it. Do you feel this potential within you?”
Arctic was in no way trying to undermine all of the Doctors efforts in programming Model Zero. If they were worried about such question awaking something within the android the Icejin had no such thoughts in his head. While he appreciated the technology that had created Model Zero he also appreciated commitment and self reliance. Sure the android could be programmed to become stronger and faster, but wouldn’t that be limited by the programming itself? If Model Zero shared this believe, Arctic believed, it would be that much easier to achieve.
