wait you guys can run doom?
N-no. I've actually never heard of it until now.
What's a soldier like you doing here?
What do you mean?
Your coloring doesn't match our armies color.
I'm...apart of a transfer deal of sorts.
Sounds surprising...considering Inco doesn't have much to offer for a machine of your talents. The Acorn model I mean. Top of the line yes?
...Well...uh...
...As I thought. Tell me...who is the general you serve under?
Le-Leo of course.
Hmph. Maybe you are a transfer after all concerning that name is only known to those with a classification with Officier or above. Can't be too suspicious with the Glow and the Shadow Tribe wandering about after all.
Between you and me...If I was you, I'd be careful. Any spies or desperate bots around might want a piece of your CPU.
I beg your pardon sir?
I didn't mean anything bad by that. It's just that I have this...feeling if you will...that something terrible is gonna happen and we're gonna need everyone we can get to protect this place.
I understand. Dust, come on, let's get inside to make sure those Picket Men don't mine the place apart.
Oh! Thank you by the way for the assistance.

Is anyone with him?
*RUFF*
Good.
Entropy, correct? I...need to bring you in for questioning...hey! Wait what are you-
Sorry if that frightened you Bass. I just had to...cover my tracks. I do need to bring you in for questioning, though we can do it here if you wish. Please.
...
...
But...boss-
Face it. All we had to do is just find one little stinking diamond or gem or anything but rock. Now, their a gaping hole in Inco AND no minerals to justify it. Who knows, maybe some advanced alien species will buy this wasteland to dump its garbage on. Huh? Did you think about that? Huh?
...
Frostfire...you know why I was made?
To...operate construction equipment?
More than that. So much more than that. I...no, we. We were all this planet had in terms of hope. And now...it, along with us...are sitting at the bottom of a hole.
...
Frostfire...I...
...I'm sorry for lashing out at ya. You didn't deserve that. Just like...just like how their gonna find someone to blame, I wanted to too. And since you're the one in charge of the core...
No. Even then, with how sudden it happened...no one, not even you could of cooled the dang thing down. If anything, since I was the one that ordered it to go into overdrive it was-
DIRECTOR MAN'S FAULT.
Huh?
IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM, WE WOULDN'T BE DOWN HERE. THE SPERA FO PLENTY WOULDN'T OF CRASHD AD-]{noesdfk}
Boss? GUTSY? Are you okay?
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
DO YOU UNDERSTAND? IF--YOU--CAN---FIND---HIM---AND---KILL---HIM---YOU'LL---BRING---THE---ULTIMATE---JUSTICE---THAT---THIS---UNIVERSE---NEEDS. PROMISE-YOU'LL-AVENGE---ME--FROSTFIRE--PROMISE!
HUH!
What...what was that about...
...huh. Ain't the most practical design...
...buut it'll have to do.
Well, that went about as well as you'd expect from someone who isn't made for fighting.
...
...*Sigh* Very well. We'll do our talking here.
(I swear if this is about the room payment... I thought for sure I already payed for the evening...)
(Then again, I'm starting to run rather low... At least too low for a hotel room. This might honestly be my last night here regardless.)

Okay, so hear me out.
I think there a conspiracy going on and I think we're the only ones that can stop it. I...I think my chief may be working with forces that wish to take over this planet. And before you call me crazy, I have evidence.
This here shows a number of calls from out of the planet AND also an increase in spending despite not having enough funds to do so.
Furthermore, out of these calls, they all go to the same place.
Finally, us officers have been increasingly told to go to this specific one place here. That's that one abandoned lab here. Instead of doing our duty, we've been told to guard this place...only for the guards to never come back...
...I see.
And what exactly do you want us to do about this? And furthermore... Why do you need ME for this?
everyone stand back I'm about to do something reckless!
I have a couple of questions,do you mind if I ask them?
It's simple. Either you or us can do a stakeout at the old lab to see exactly where the soldiers are going, then free them. As for why it's you...
It's because of that aura of yours.
As you likely know from my appearance, I've switched my vision receptors from regular to energy-seeking. Your aura shines the brightest, showing your power. As such, it would be a snap if anything were to go wrong.
That's saying of course if anything were to go wrong...
In terms of what's in it for you, I...may or may not have the key to the lost and found locker room... and there...may or may not be some powerful gear in there just waiting to be *claimed*.
Course Dust. What's up?
Alright,first things first,how do i address you,do i call you by your name or do you title and if so what is it? ive been thinking about it since we first met.
Secondly,who was that guy? the beetle borg? he seemed to be important enough to these guys that they did exactly what he said without a rousing speech or a threat.
Thirdly,who are the shadow tribe and the glow?
You guys keep going... i need a second to cool down a little-
