No. No... Noooooooooo! The world... it is destroyed. Lord Recluse... my... what have you done? No, clear thinking. In the name of Science, I will document and then stop this tragedy from coming to fruition. My lab, luckily, must still have been in some state of repair as I was able to still use the ZR Aegis Transponder to summon my precious robots - still fully functional and deadly despite the

My increased level of field work recently is leaving me with less and less time to craft new components and inventions for the betterment of ARAD and Arachnos as a whole. Today was time I did something about that. After an intensive few hours, working with Vanguard and ARAD scientists I have managed to perfect a portable workbench for creating Hypothetical Framework inventions. Alas, the unit

Finally! Vanguard have authorised me to have a suit of their Impervium Armour. As well they might since Gaussian wanted to send me in against some renegade Vanguard Sword (their black ops division) who had kidnapped Lady Grey herself. Of course, I had to modify the base suit - it was far too.... limiting. Additions of some ZR Aegis Shielding and some ZR Force Wings made for my new Flight-capable

Well, it seems that the creation of a device to anchor myself to my own timeline has proved more of a challenge than I first anticipated. So much so, that I have decided to draft one of my colleagues in on the project - Dr Darkespark - who I shall be taking on as my research assistant. She joined Arachnos Research and Development during my time lost in the continuum but is an able

Anchored! Finally! My own timeline. Thank Science that I had the foresight after being hijacked by Dr Aeon in the future to install some modifications into the Destiny Portal to pull me back from wherever I am in time and space. The trick was getting a connection back to Spider City. When am I? Have I gained or lost time? Ah, only a mere few months. I'm going to have to craft something for

I'm transmitting this into the blind via my ZR Aegis Transponder. I have no idea when or if this record will reach my terminal at the ARAD Lab. I am displaced from our current time-space continuum and only by the grace of Mender Silos and his Team am I making head or tail of this. It started with the discovery of a strange mystical portal in Cap Au Diable, not far from the Black Market. After

Gah, even when Vanguard has some heroes tied up in the War Zone, some still find their way in to the Rogue Isles to cause havoc. Seems that one of our Crey Labs is being investigated by Synapse. His little lackey Mynx was in attendence, though myself and Ares MkII (seen here in the midst of Power Surge mode) made short work of her. My contact Tavish Bell seems keen to shut them down, and while

Well, with it being Halloween here in the heart of the Rogue Isles I took a little time off the serious business of thwarting the enemies of Arachnos (with science!) and the Rikti War, to work on a little side technology. The ZR Holosuit! Alas, the technology was less stable than I had originally hoped for and I am going to be unable to put it into mass production for the infiltration work I

Vanguard have sent me into Portal Corp today, to shut down some minor dimensional portals back to the Rikti Homeworld. Seems like the Rikti are trying to attack our ability to get back to their dimension. Damn shame that time was of the essence, I could have done with spending more time looking over Portal technology without "heroes" breathing down my neck. Strange, these new portals didn't

Gah! What is it? The energy signal doesn't match any known thaumautalogical, biological or technological source. It's not Circle, Phalanx, Portal Corps, Vanguard or Arachnos. It's not even Dr Aeon! Who does it belong to? What's it for?! I've had a full research team working on it for months now and nothing. NOTHING! Maybe I should have Doctor Rob or Professor Ross have a look at it...

.. and mine is science. Kind of a busmans holiday really. I took time away from my weapons research in order to assist Vanguard with their Rikti autopsies. Yes, I know... yesterday I sure for peace and today I'm dissecting their brethren. Such is life! The improved armour appears to be merely cosmetic, but the biology of the creatures is fascinating - most especially their enhanced psionic

I'm glad that the Traditionalist Faction continues to petition us for peace. The last thing I need is the constant war impinging on my research. I've lost too many prototypes so far during these brief few weeks of war - my first attempt at co-opting Vanguard HVAS technology and my prototype Impervium Armoured Suit to name but two. I guess my previous experience with Ambassador Kuhr'Rekt means

Well, this is the first time in a while I've had opportunity to leave an entry - the assaults on the Rogue Isles are nearly non-stop and I have barely slept. During the time I haven't been on the front lines, I have managed to craft a prototype rudimentary psychic shield from the remains of Rikti Assault Forces and also perfected the stealth field generation from the ZR Force Wing technology.

Well, it would seem that Vanguard know which way to turn when a dangerous task needs to be undertaken. I was contacted by Aero at the behest of Vanguard. They required three strike teams to try and penetrate the secrets of the Rikti's new portal and to stop what perhaps is best described as the Apocalypse. Three teams set out - one completed the objectives first. I have no need to state my own

After a number of skirmishes with the Rikti forces, it has become apparent that the anti-gravity technology I am using for my flight is not sturdy enough for some of the more... intense engagements. As such, I have had to develop a more mechanical method of staying aloft. And here is the fruits of my labours - ZR Force Wings. I've fitted them to my improved Bane Spider armour. I am also

I have been contacted by one group I never thought I'd hear of in the limelight again - Vanguard. The UN Metahuman Force tasked with dealing with the Rikti during the first war. And, it seems, this one. I have no idea how they constructed them so quickly, but Vanguard DPO's have popped up around the Isles and portals that teleport into the heart of the Rikti Crash Zone in Paragon City have been

It's taken me a few hours to get the laboratory in order - activating and developing defenses against Rikti teleportation technology, and scanning so that I may have a safe bolthole during the war. Somewhere for ARAD to regroup. With that done, I set out to the rest of the Isles to find the invaders. It seems that Lord Recluse is issuing all frequency alerts tied to an early warning system so it

24th of July 2007. A day that will stand out in my memory for a long time to come. From all my exploits, achievements and failures, this is the date that will haunt me. I expect they'll call it the Second Rikti War. I remember the first war - it was what drove me to robotics, to design tools that could fight for man, without man himself being in harms way. Willing tools of destruction, endless

Arbiter Daos wouldn't listen though - oh how I pleaded with the man. Debased myself before him - if only to keep Aeon incarcerated, if they wouldn't let me slay him. All to no avail - the hack has been released. Dr

Yes! Arachnos have given me approval to haul in Dr Aeon's posterior for questioning. I have him this time - video surveillance of him captured by the ZR Aegis Transponder means that his ass is mine! Fighting past the disloyal Arachnos troops that were defending him were no issue at all, though I see he has a few Commandos and Scouts now plus a Night Widow or two.

Well, it seems that I have reconciled my dispute with Black Scorpion, who is finally allowing me to work directly on Project DESTINY. The first task, to fine-tune the Arachnos Portal Technology. It seems Lord Recluse has used his Fortunatas to divine a future where he triumphs over the hateful Statesman. They prophesied that a great portal would allow access to this future, and that the key to

While Lord Recluse maintains communication with the Rikti through my erstwhile colleague Ambassador Kuhr'Rekt, not all factions of the inter-dimensional pest actually respect the rule of Arachnos in the Rogue Isles. It was one such faction that Operative Grillo sent me after this evening. Seriously, did these degenerates ever pose a threat to the human race? My ZR Autonomous Combat Units

Well, the rest of the month has been quiet, and has left me with time to dedicate to working on the Hypothetical Framework Invention System. Its hard for an old dog like me to learn a new trick, but I am working on a-pace. I haven't tried anything too fancy yet - just working on some generic Inventions to reduce power consumption, and increase damage thresholds. Much of the work is earning me

Back to laying the groundwork for Project DESTINY today, though Black Scorpion still has not divulged the nature of the project to me. This time, apparently the Nemesis Army have got wind of something about the program and I was sent to one of their Shadow Shard Dimension bases to find out what. It turned out that the Nemesis Army was executing a full scale attack on the heart of the Rogue Isles
