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

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

I took some time out from more critical inventions like my Incarnate Devices today (since every good scientist needs a break) and went back over some old designs/prototypes I had.While my Vanguard Flight Suit has been a fine success, my older Battle Suit and Thaumaturgical Haz-Mat Suits have languished without upgrades for a few years now.Back to the drawing board, and I've produced some much

It's been a while, but it looks like this so-called Emperor Cole has tried to send more of his lackeys to take over our Primal Earth. This time, they hit Paragon City - specifically in Kings Row (a grimy little district, which I never had any cause to visit even when I was a PC resident).Regardless of where they hit, Arachnos refuses to let them get a foothold on our dimension, so I suited up in

Today saw the furtherance of my latest project - to harness the power of the Incarnate. Working with Lord Recluse I was able to gather eight villainous allies (alas, their names now elude me from the heat of the moment) with whose assistance I was able to fight past the Kronos Titan, the Vindicators, et al to face off (once more) with the Freedom Phalanx.Statesman and his lackeys were able to put

Well, it seems that my improved Crab Armour and Blaster Arms could be vastly improved if I was able to create a synthetic version of a Blood Coral fragment.After working with Vincent Ross, formerly of the Legacy Chain, we managed to acquire a thaumaturgically shield fragment of Blood Coral which vastly improved the powers of the armour. It seems that the fragment acts in the same way that my

Had a mixed day today, firstly (and most importantly) I have completed my research into Bane and Crab Spider Armours. Behold! I have managed to integrate the Crab Spider Blaster arms (their firmware was tricky to reprogram for a while).Alas, the ability to summon robotic assistance still eludes me but I am sure I will overcome that slight deficiency soon!

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.

So, I have been holed up in the lab for the past several months working on a way to improve the armour that is assigned to Arachnos' Bane and Crab Spider troops and I have finally developed a prototype.Unfortunately, it has a drawback so far that I am unable to use the ZR Aegis Transponder while in the suit and as such I can not summon any of my ZR Autonomous Combat Units while wearing it.As such

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...

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.

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 that

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.The

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 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 in

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 shredded

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 great

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 -

It would appear that my erstwhile colleagues are otherwise engaged, and with me closeted doing research for Project DESTINY, I have been seldom around of late.The only times I've been seen outside of The Fab has been to frequent the lovely new Black Market in Cap Au Diable - really, they should have had this around when I was of a lower Threat Clearance as I would have made much more use of

I heard tell from my fishing partner the other day that the northern isles of Peregrine were full of Rikti Monkeys.Well, having enjoyed their antics I went along to have a look at the little blighters, prior to a later appointment that day. Alas, my partner was right and they were scaring the fish so I summoned in some ZR Units and set to eliminating them.And you know, it was quite good fun!

I break in to one of his facilities to extract research that rightfully belongs to Arachnos and he has the audacity to attack me in the course of my duty?!I barely noticed the hack as I was busy dispatching disloyal Arachnos troops, and only realised he was there by the colour of the energy blasts bouncing off my shields.That's right

Well, this is taking me back. Back to when I was first broken out of the Ziggurat and my Threat Clearance Level was a paltry single figure. Operative Grillo, one of my peers from Arachnos Research, asked me to go and have a word with an old contact of mine - Mongoose, on Mercy Isle.Seems the old exterminator has found a nest of snakes too big for even his boots.

So, what does an evil genius do on his rare days off when Black Scorpion is not harassing him, or the threat of Paragon City does not need thrashing back to its own shores?Why he goes fishing of course!But, the best fishing is in Paragon City, so I hitched a lift on an Arachnos Sub and in the shores north of Peregrine Island, settled down for a delightful evening.Caught nothing. Didn't care.

Work for Black Scorpion, despite having took a short hiatus doing some consultation work with a Doctor Brainstorm, continued today.

After all I have done for Arachnos, I am suprised that they have took so long to raise my Threat Clearance Level.

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.

Uncanny! I was looking for a contact on the inside of Aeon Corp in an effort to monitor Dr Aeon's movements and perhaps find an opportunity to bump off the hack, when I stopped dead in my tracks. I swear, the man could have been twin of me in my younger days!Better yet it turned out that he is an employee of Aeon Corp, and after the judicious application of a little persuasion he accepted me on

Black Scorpion has not allowed me to tinker with a Bane Mace as of yet (apparently to have access to such high technology I need to further prove my worth) but he has given me an Executioners Mace that I have managed to modify. At the expense of any offensive power I have made the basic web grenade more highly explosive so it can cover a patch of ground and snare multiple foes.And not a moment

Dobbs called me in today as there was a bit of a fracas in an Arachnos Base - some Arachnoids had broken in and needed clearing out. During doing the deed, I freed one of the Bane Spider Executioners who had been captured by the horrible creatures.Of course I had to activate my latest armour to match up and show him what a Bane Spider "Exterminator" can do! It seemed to make quite an impression

I met with a new contact I was introduced to by Terrence Dobbs - some exterminator that Arachnos employs to get rid of Arachnoids whom I've been oddjobbing for.She's a strange one this Regent Korol - appears to be one of the Tarantula Mistress' in command of all the robotic-arachnid forces of Grandville, as well as in psychic contact with the Fortunatas.She seems to act as intelligence for

Worked on some weapons technology today specifically for the defense of the ARAD Laboratory. The base unit had been installed by Doc Bot a week or so back and I only just got around to checking the specs on the unit and making my own unqiue changes.Doc has been making some great strides with the ARAD Laboratory since taking over from Dr E Genius (who is mysteriously missing still) and has

I could scream. I really could. Black Scorpion, bless his insane little heart, gave me orders to kill Dr Aeon! Finally, a tacit order to kill the fraud of a scientist. Obviously, our little plan had to be approved by the Arbiters - can't just off the Governor of Cap Au Diable with no excuse!Those damn Arbiters knew everything!

Got a call from Westin Phipps today - apparently someone has been trying to educate the Freakshow. Now, I'm all for a good education, but it seems that then some of Paragon Citys' "Heroes" were then milking the school teacher for information - bribing her with more resources extracted from Paragons' own educational budget.Idiots.I had to force my way into the warehouse where this "Miss Francine"

I was called into general action today along with all the citizens in Grandville to repulse some strange mystical entities that seems to be leaking into our dimension from some mystical realm that the Mu Mystics refer to as "Croatoa".Regardless, these things seemed something like out of a kids halloween party - just a week or so early, and so much taller!

I took a quiet period today to field test a device I had just perfected that, for once, was not a weapon. Just an improvement for my anti-gravity field. A modified Arachnos jump-jet that increases my forward momentum.Alas, the device is too prone to overheating so I can only get it working in thirty-second windows. Plus it takes an inordinate time to cool back down. Still, it made the long

Ah, I loved that movie. Such beautiful portable nuclear reactors they had... if only... ahem.Anyway, after getting the Ghostslayer Rifles and Grenades from Dr Aeon I tweaked them to my own specifications (i.e. made them work properly) and then headed out to Paragon City to test them.Some evil spirit was haunting a graveyard in the Astoria region, plus with my new contacts in Arachnos I was able

Ah, Black Scorpion knows me too well. In his desire to develop defenses against the machinations of Ghost Widow, he has tasked me to lead a team against Dr Aeon himself.Well, the hack does seem overly interested in matters magical so stands to reason I can lock him in a lab and force him to produce results! And afterwards, maybe Black Scorpion will let me kill the little swine!I found the young

Well, after a quick trip back to the lab and melding the Rikti Alloys into the empty shell of a ZR Assault Alpha Model, I have created some fairly serviceable battle armour. I modelled the aesthetics to match an Arachnos Bane Commando and think I have improved on both the form and function.Since I got word from Technician Naylor in Nerva that he required more assistance with his Portal research,

Well, now that the lab has been straightened up and I have made contact with my old colleague Doc Bot, I was finally able to venture into Spider City. I met a wonderful Rikti Ambassador called Kuhr'Rekt.Seriously, those idiots over at Paragon have them all wrong - this is the second intimate dealing I've had with these aliens and they have been more cordial than the so-called "Freedom Phalanx"

Finally, Black Scorpion has approved my access to Grandville (after losing the paperwork a few times, no doubt). My first stop was to beg an audience with Lord Recluse himself.Mysteriously, the Arbiters allowed me direct access to our leader, who still seems under the delusion that I may be one of his Chosen Ones.Still, it suited my purposes and I was able to give Lord Recluse a direct status

I encountered a very strange ectoplasmic demon today while passing by Thorn Isle in the Nerva Archipelago. The entity called itself Caleb - which now makes a lot more sense of the Nerva Spectral Demons I've fought who cry out "For Caleb".For saying he was of impressive size, the sheer power of the allies I had with me at the time brought him down very quickly. Shame, I thought he might have been

It only took a couple of extra personnel and some more sturdy airborne tactics.This time myself, Doc Bot, Dr E Genius, Dr Zweistein, new recruit Xcessive and intern Metaform took on the trials set by the Strike Force Operative.

I took some time out today to relax in the Arachnos Facility in Port Oakes while I was between field tests and catch up on some paperwork. Maintaining supplies for the ARAD Research Facility and keeping a neutral stance between Lord Recluses' Lieutenants uses up a lot of our scientists' prestige. The protection money alone is astronomical.Still, the weapons and devices we supply Arachnos with do

As I suspected - at least Technician Grant Naylor still had some important work for Arachnos to be done for a member of my rank.This time I had to infiltrate and subvert a Longbow-held base in an alternate dimension - code-named Mole Point Bravo. Somewhere in a dimension called the "Shadow Shard". Regardless, the task was easily accomplished.The suprise came when not a half hour later ARAD

Taking a break from working with Technician Naylor (he managed to squeeze me in for a project or two) and Hardcase (he seems to have demon issues, but I occassionally get something worthwhile and technological out of him) I had popped down to Cap Au Diable to take out some Gremlins causing fluctuations to the PTS.While there I heard a call on the Arachnos Request Channel that my erstwhile

A field trip to another dimension with some colleagues recently gave me the change to look at some of these Nemesis "Warhulks" in closer detail.It appears that a pilot is seated in some form of fluid-filled tank which may or may not also be fuel for its fire-based attacks. Obviously it is simply some form of powered armour suit.What strikes me is the complexity of these devices - despite it being

I've been working for a whole range of people now that my Arachnos Threat Level has broken Clearance 35.
