Fresh off the battle... or more accurately, massacre at the police station, Osiris would begin exploring the slums of the city. For once, this wasn't a journey motivated by information on dragons, but rather a focus on finding someone it had met before.
It wanted to find the hooded man who had attacked the police station initially.
Osiris wasn't quite sure what sort of territory the man called home, but it did assume that given his intentions, he wouldn't want to live somewhere near the former station. As a result, it would begin walking around the slums of the city, scanning the streets.

The slums was a good bet to find Gilgamesh, that and the docks were his most frequent haunts. And that hadn't changed, even as his vision and targets had begun to expand. This was still his home away from home. This is still where everything he hated was most evident. This was still the best place to harness that destruction of his with targets aplenty. He was a weapon, but he refused to point himself at random people on the street. He still had that at least, as if that made everything else okay. As if that changed what he was.
But it was enough, it was a line he had drawn in the sand to not cross. And he was the one that he had to live with. The paper could decry him as a monster. The gangs of the city could fear and hate him. Every single Super with something to prove could come for his head. But none of that mattered as long as he didn't cross the boundaries that he set for himself.
Osiris wouldn't find Gilgamesh on the streets, however the hooded figure could be glimpsed on one of the roofs of the warehouse. And judging from the position of his arms, which were folded over his chest it appeared that Osiris himself had been spotted. He'd have only a second or two to react before Gilgamesh leaped from the roof to land in front of Osris, dropping his arms as he eyed him with a neutral expression.
"You're not with the other bag of bolts. So what do you want?"
HalOS had opposed him at the station, while this one had supported him. He didn't know the reason for that, but opposing HaLOS and the Bulwark gave it some points in his book. Or it's creator. Whatever. It didn't matter to much.

Osiris had been looking along the streets themselves, not at the rooftops, and as such, would step back from the sight of the man leaping down in front of it. It was a natural instinct from the rather violent few weeks it had experienced in this city, and while it wasn't exactly looking for trouble this time, that was not to say someone else wouldn't take issue with some of what it had done in the city so far.
The metallic figure would tilt its head in curiosity at the question, mildly surprised it was being compared to the other machine it had seen already.
"You slaughtered the police. I want to know why."
Simple, straightforward, to the point. It hadn't come to mince words.

"Because they prop up a rotting system."
He didn't have anything to fear about being blunt. He didn't care what people thought about his motives. If they took issue they could try and stop him. That was the right of the strong. Those that whined and moaned were weak, to weak and cowardly to impose their vision and will upon the world around them. Mundane or Super mattered little when there were many ways to impose your will. And ways to counter that, such as he was doing now against the Mafia and the influences their money has purchased.
"You?"
It had been there too, so it probably had a reason. The reason may or may not clash with Gilgamesh and his desires however. But they might find out real quick.

So it was some sort of.... well-intentioned plan. Interesting.
"To remove obstacles."
It was pretty much exactly what one might expect from Osiris at this point, but it was the truth. The police were more likely to interfere than anyone else in the city with its actions.
"You speak of a rotting system. Which system is this?"
