Praetoria Invading Primal Earth? Never!

It started with me running into an exceedingly familiar robotic creation in the Rikti War Zone - at first glance it appeared to be Tin Mage, the famed hero of the first Rikti War. Instead, it turned out to be a recreation - Tin Mage Mark Two. After he graciously allowed me to spend a few minutes looking over his circuitry (I ignored the thaumatalogical interfaces as superior tech should not be used on inferior abilities) he informed me that there is a pressing concern of invasion from the Praetorian dimension.

After teaming me with a Strikeforce comprised of three of the Rogue Isles' finest Incarnates (Gobstopper [Corruptor], Vizu [Stalker] and Lost Fighter [Brute]), three Incarnate Scrappers from Paragon (Nekomata Shaya, Nosh Jr and Nosher) plus an Incarnate Controller called Chlorophyllia we set out to stop the Praetorian invasion!

From Crimson Cove in the Nerva Archipelago, back to the Rikti War Zone to defend an Arachnos conference, until finally we end up on Peregrine Island at Portal Corp where I finally saw the pinnacle of Praetorian Robotics - the WarWorks Goliath. If only there had been time to study one of these behemoths - I have never seen such fine robotics craftmanship in our dimension outside of my own lab!

Alas, invading Primal Earth is not to be tolerated so instead of an exchange of minds with this "Neuron" I and my team instead were forced to beat him down (through an army of robotic clones he kept teleporting in!)

At the end of the day, we delivered a message - the rule of Primal Earth is for Lord Recluse, and no other extra-dimensional upstart. Not sure the others of the Strikeforce would be likewise so inclined to deliver such a message, but still!

Justin, it is as you have suspected - the infamous villain Master Zaprobo does indeed seem to have come into possession of sufficient Incarnate power-infused fragments to enhance his already formidable arsenal.

We have sighted him in the Shadow Shard, Bloody Bay (we assume collecting fragments of the Shiva meteorites), Cimerora, the Rikti War Zone and I believe he may also have breached other dimensions such as Praetoria. At this time we can only assume he will not be working with or for Tyrant - as he is an Arachnos Loyalist.

Wyvern forces are ill equipped to deal with Master Zaprobo as a matter of course, let alone one connected to the Well of Furies. We will maintain surveillance as requested.

How Dare They! Time to show them...

Black Scorpion had me cooped up in the Fab working on inane research any first year graduate could have done! For a year! Well, almost.

Still, my time was not idle - with access to the research stored on The Fab's mainframe, I've managed to gather together the data on "Project Incarnate". The subject Trapdoor that I had a run in a while back was subjected to the Well of the Furies - an object of undefineable power that almost defies science and thaumaturgy alike. The same source of power for Lord Recluse and Statesman!

After a conference with Lord Recluse, and some assistance from (it seems) my future-self I've acquired a device. An Incarnate Shard. While I may not have found the Well itself, with the shard has come the intrinsic knowledge I need to combine esoteric components to vastly empower my devices and creations. Today, I have become technology INCARNATE!

Content: Subject "Master Zaprobo" has now completed his rotation into the Grandville Fab as per orders of Black Scorpion and is now to be reassigned to his previous Arbiter/Researcher post after field work on Arachnoid Project 0652/B is complete.

Recommend that the subject is no longer monitored by Security as he is known to intercept such transmission. Additionally recommend that all records of his incarceration are expunged, as his rank of Arbiter would otherwise allow access.
