Sky Raiders Scattered

I got a call from Black Scorpion today - first real job I've had from him since I was ordered to diable him by the Arbiters some months ago. Appears that his lackey Silver Mantis has contracted a group of villains to deal with the Sky Raiders and Black Scorpion wanted someone to go oversee the job in person.

So, I headed off with Vrykola of The Shadow Legion to their sewer lair. Really, a sewer? Still, a lot of the technology was in pristine working condition, if a little grimy. We were joined by the likes of Manchurian, Zero Genesis, Devils Escort, Gaspard, Elektrikern and a Dr. Muspelheim.

After clearing out several cells of the Sky Raider mercenaries, we headed on to their new secret offshore base in a cargo ship Silver Mantis provided for us. I have no idea how they kept this facility secret for so long - the thing was huge.

Mind you, the destroyed ships nearby and the heavy artillery emplacements give me an idea that people probably did find out, just not live too long afterwards! Still, we ended up facing of against Colonel Duray himself - we disabled him in short order and delivered him to Arachnos. The rest of the Sky Raider organisation was scattered in our wake (I'm sure they'll be back though).

Number 204 Repaired

I took time out today to help with an Arachnos Core Research Project - the Arachnobots. Unit 204 based in Grandville had been compromised in its programming by some inept villain in the Destiny Project. Some Longbow constructed virus subverted its AI.

I took the liberty while having a look at its core program to install a few custom attributes. Took me ages to work out the kinks through a bit of field testing with some of its lesser bretheren.

Still, hopefully the base Tarantula units will be almost as useful now as their Toxic counterparts. I look forward to facing the odd one or two gone rogue when I can!

PPD Smashed!

Well, after my late discovery of the Paragon Police Department using my plans for their own robotic creations, I decided to take the fight to them and show them what the pinnacle of Arachnos Technology can bring forth.

Not only did I field my own ZR Combat Platoon backed by my ZR Aegis Transponder, I also brought Ares Mk2 along with me with the permission of Doc Bot. Together we ripped through "Paragon's Finest" as if they were barely there.

Even their new Kheldian allies couldn't stand against us. Technology over biology, every time.

All Praise the Might of the Media!

Well, after the Christmas break, I was feeling in a bit of a lethargic mood and as such couldn't muster the will initially to do any villainy. So, I did what the masses do - set down for some Television. Robotecha even came along to enjoy the shows.

However, something strange happened. The TV spoke to me - seems the Television itself is some form of quasi-mystical entity (what isn't these days) that wanted to further its own popularity. I seem to vaguely remember a Radio that did the same once...

By the by... I don't remember much and my memory is a bit fuzzy on the matter. Not quite sure what happened to be honest. Apart from one thing - Dr Aeon! Yes, even the Television knows I am the best scientist for the job when it comes to taking down the "premier" scientist of the Rogue Isles.

Kidnapping him at robot-point, with the aid of Robotecha, we forced him to write a paper extolling the virtues of Television. This was presented to Arbiter Daos, to force Arachnos to show more television to the troops. Apparently, that is a good thing... again, my memory goes... strange.

Still, Television is Good.
