A "competition". Yes, that's what I'll call it...

I believe it was this security camera shot from the Arachnos Research and Development lab that captured the moment of my brilliance, while using my ZR Holographic Formula Array. Dr Darkespark, my erstwhile lab assistant, commented that with my work on my Incarnate Project the rest of the robotics research had become stagnant.

Certainly, I had new blueprints for a holographic robotics model I call the "Hardlight ZR-7" but it required certain Incarnate-level Components I don't have access to yet to make the hardlight-matrix.

It was then I came up with this idea - let's make other scientists do our work for us!

Me? A Recruitment Agent? Pshaw...

I can't believe that Arachnos has me doing this. When I'm on the verge of a breakthrough on my own Incarnate Project, those lackwits at Arachnos Administration have convinced Lord Recluse it is a great idea to send his foremost scientist out on the street to recruit new villains.

NO! Not Dr Aeon. Me. ME!

So, here it is - join us as we conquer in the name of Lord Recluse. Or don't - we'll get around to subjugating you at some point anyway.
