We take you now to FrankLIn Yorkshire, who is currently at the UN Headquarters in Seoul. FrankLIn?" *Cut to outside UN HQ* "Thank you, Peter, according to the UN representative I spoke to today, the UN has been aware of this turn of events for a few days now, and a standing order has been issued to all Interpol operatives to detain Zero on sight as a precautionary measure in the interest of GLobal security. As many of our viewers know, despite Zero's relatively clean and decorated slate of the past few years, he was responsible for the destruction of Shanghai as well as countless other atrosities while working as a Robot Master and Maverick operative. The UN also urges all civiLIans to avoid contact with Zero if at all possible, and to report his presence to the authorities. He is to be considered armed, and extremely dangerous, however as there is no evidence that he is a definate threat, more extreme measures have not yet been taken. Back to you Peter." *Cut back to GNN studios.* "Thank you, FrankLIn. We tried to reach the RepLIforce for a statement on the subject, but we were told that RepLIforce does not acknowledge the rumors, nor has it received any orders from it's upper administration, nor from the UN itself. The Maverick Hunters were also not available for comment. GNN will bring you the latest breaking news as it arrives. We now take you to Crosscheck Moose with today's sports results, and special March Madness commentary from Bang Robinson." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ Robot Master $$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 12/28 Posted Author Security Restrictions Fri Mar 21 King ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Brethren, We all doth have a problem. Security in our very homes hath been breached. Synth hath discovered what doth appear to be corruption and perhaps even hacking upon several of our metools. The supervisory unit hath disappeared. E'en Lord Father, the Great Wily, doth see no reason behind this." King settles back, still angry looking. "Until this situation is resolved, all mets are to be considered suspect. Our bases of operations art locked down...there shalt be _no_ visitors without permission of one of the ELIte, save by Lord Wily's will. None. E'en those normally trusted must be seen as suspect. All shalt be scanned most thoroughly for any danger upon entry to any of Our Father's homes. All mets must be scanned and checked, and nond, We doth repeat _none_ art to be allowed into combat situations." "In the meantime, those of the Brethren who art meant for this art ordered to search out the source of this infection. All mets are to be quarantined as well as possible. This is all. We shalt be most unamused if these orders art ignored." As King finishes his announcement, a met walks up to him, one of his usual LIveried mets. King GLares at it, and then slams his fist through it's head.

Several days ago I received several deactivated metools - the numbers that were LIsted in the maintenance report by Joe unit Z-4245. All of these mets are non-respondent to vocal commands, and have suffered from systemic corruption of their systems. The supervisor met for that unit is still at large, as no one has managed to track it down." "According to our latest reports, over seven percent of our metool force is non-respondent to vocal commands. Corruption may also have extended to their IFF systems, and thus as King and the Doctor have suggested, all metools are to be approached with extreme caution. As well, it would be best to leave the Giant Met alone for the time being - I'll have further updates as they develop. Any errant metools captured or destroyed are to be properly dealt with and brought to either the doctor or myself for examination."

While the Haven may be secured at the moment, it appears that the Fortress has been overrun by the metool horde. The Doctor, King, and myself evacuated from the Fortress just as the metools were moving on the laboratories. We managed to make it to the teleporter system, and disable the teleporter at the Fortress before we departed for the Haven. At last report we had locked down as much as we could at the Fortress. The Lab computers are secure, as are the control units for the Devils. The Giant Metool has, as of last reports, been secured and restrained down in the vehicle bay. However, given the exponential growth of the metool gestalt consciousness, it is unknown how long things will remain secure there. Given enough time, and I can not accurately begin to make estimations of how long that will be, the mets can crack our security. Resistance is LIkely to be heavy - personally, I'd recommend all Masters still in the Fortress are advised to find a defensible position and await rescue, or further orders. ~~~// Synth //~~~ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$ BB Post in Progress $$$$$$$$$$$$ Group: Robot Master Title: Mets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Wily Spinny!

Centaur Man camed to help, but I suddenly lost contact with him, so don't know what happened to him, he is probabily safe though, also an army of Apach Joes came to the rescue, but the whole force was probabily shot down. The mets were trained to launch the missiles in case of Maverick take over, now I fear that they may use them against us Masters, those are the missiles filled up with the specia bombs you know about, fortunately, I have the firing key, so they won't be able to fire the missiles unless they break in this room, but I doubt they can destroy that sturdy blast door In here I have a lot of damaged joes, 12 in total, 7 damaged, I have 7 human troopers, 4 wounded, This room is full of suppLIes, food and medicals for humans, energy recharger for robots, but htey won't last for long. The base is infested with mets, there should be 4 Metall Pottons, one destroyed by Centaur Man, those are continually producing mets, weak one though, but I heard of some hacker skilled mets that could bypass the firing key system I need extraction!

Tremble! As you know Burst and some troopers are stranded at the bottom of the silo where the special missiles were beign stored and thousands of mets are present in the base.r Now that Skull heaven is gone the masters could have a great need for those 3 devastating weapons, so they decide to go and rescue Burst and retrive the missiles, they are prepared to exterminate a giant horde of mets but when they get in there there is no sign of mets, also no sign of the defenders bodies, and when they get to the room where Burst is trapped they find....nothing, the missiles too are gone, the mets taken them away somewhere, the team wants obviously to get out of the silo, but suddenly all the bodies of the defenders appears with a met hat stuck on their head (LIke if it was a Head Crab From Half-LIfe) and they are walking! r When the team cleared out the zombies they notice a strange thing, where is Burst? He is missing with the missiles, not long after that, it will come up that both Burst Man and the Missiles have been captured by the mets (No surprise until now) but why they taken Burst instead of turning him into a met-zombie? Actually they did turn him into a met unit, but they turned him into the second in command of a giga-met(Or whatever is the most powerful of these things), they made him much more powerful, they left his memory unthouched but he's been brainwhashed so that he enjoys being a met, and they will use him against their enemies. The infested Burst will be much more powerful than the normal one(Is a temporary Stat-power-up acceptable?If he's that important to mets he should become a match for an eLIte) and he still know how to use the missiles, obviously the mets are treathening to launch them, they are just waiting to find the best targets where to fire them. I had the idea from StarCraft, there Kerrigan get infested by Zergs, so why not making the same here on some fancy mini TP? What are your opinions?

Mt. Kilamanjaro, the location of "Skull Haven", one of Dr. Wily's main command and control centers, was attacked by Reploid soldiers and ride armors. Air support for the battle was also given by the Fortress III. The battle was intense, with the "Quint BLImp" doing battle with the Fortress III, as well as massive ground warfare between the Robot Masters and RepLIforce. Robot Master forces were reported to have pushed back the ground assault, infLIcting heavy casualties on the RepLIforce along the way. Two ride armors were reported to have been destroyed, as well as countless drones. The tide of battle turned when the Fortress III broke off its attacks on the "Quint BLImp" to direct all of its firepower down on the enemy combatants and structures. Massive enemy losses were taken from the assault, forcing a general retreat by the Robot Masters. A counteroffensive reportedly launched by the Robot Master Bass infLIcted serious damage on the Fortress III, but at the cost of "Skull Haven" and several of his key personnel. Bass is beLIeved to be missing in action after the strike. Sightings of Dr. Wily at the battle have not been verified by RepLIforce sources. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/9 Posted Author African Weather Disturbances Sun Mar 23 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Massive weather disturbances began near the end of the "Skull Haven" offensive by RepLIforce. A massive storm, originating from the Kilamanjaro region, arose rapidly and artificially. The weather event quickly became a storm system of considerable magnitude, approaching a strength not seen in over 150 years. The storm system has been slowly moving north through Kenya, leaving a swath of destruction in its wake. Reports of severe thunderstorms accompanied by cyclones, gale force winds, black hail, blue LIghtning and other dangerous and abnormal weather phenomena have come in from multiple sources. Property damage from the storm system has already been estimated to be in the tens of milLIons of zenny already, with estimates going ever-higher as it approaches the more populated areas to the north. Meteorologists predict the storm system will reach northern Egypt by mid-week, then begin to break apart over the Mediterranean Sea by the weekend. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
