Sat Dec 21 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Concert For Peace ended in fire tonight as the Stardroid Scorpio appeared, apparently kilLIng promoter SpotLIght Scarab as he attempted to do something called Cessation of Thought, a technique apparently meant to kill everyone there. He revealed that he'd been manipulating people behind the scenes, and memebers of the audience, along with help from RepLIforce, stopped his plans by destroying the source of the music, which was was apparently hypnotizing people. He was taken down in combat... then... then... Asteroid B crashed into the music site, apparently a ploy by the Robot Masters to destroy Scorpio... which appears to have succeeded. No trace of the Stardroid can be found, though rescuers can't get close enough to the crater that now scars the site in Guyana. The fallout from the Asteroid is expected to affect the Amazon, but it is too soon to determine how bad it will be, or even if it will matter in the face of the nothing. The death toll is still being calculated, but it expected to be high, as many people simply could not get out of the way in time. This just in... the body of SpotLIght Scarab has been found, the only victim of Scorpio's attack. Apart from the physical damage, the Reploid superstar is aLIve... but Reploid engineers can get no reading from his neural net, which appears to have been totally wiped. We'll... we'll have more on this as it develops. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Tartarus $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 15/9 Posted Author Shocking Victory!

[Radio: (C) GLobal] Daryn transmits, "Dude, he'll eat your brains." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "Better than having them rot away due to prattle LIke yours, I suspect. It'd be quicker." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Egocentric? ME?! Quint transmits, "I dunno, I think his prattle rotting your brain would be fairly quick. Not sure there's a lot to rot." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Number Man transmits, "Lemme step in for Crash Man here to say, "OOOOH, SNAP!"" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Doppler blatantly ignores Daryn and Quint. "Yes, Dr. Matthews?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Daryn transmits, "Yeah, truth rots." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing the data you aquired on the asteroid's impact." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Doppler transmits, "For the purpose of assessing the damage, I presume." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "For the purpose of formulating a way to negate some of the long-term damage, actually. I've got an idea in mind." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Doppler transmits, "How comforting to know I'm not the only concerned with the cLImatological consequences. Very well, then." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "It's not just you, Sigmund." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Doppler transmits, "Ah, Thomas. I've not heard your voice in some time." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Daryn transmits, "Yo Doc LIght!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "A moot point if the Nigh ends up devouring the planet, but there's nothing I can think to do against that. So I'll deal with what I can." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Elec Man has acid in his voice. "...LIght..." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Elec Man transmits, "Tell me, LIght." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "Oh, go get drunk again, Elec." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Elec Man transmits, "WHY DID YOU MAKE ME ALLERGIC TO SHELLFISH?!?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "...Allergic? Ah, anyway. Thank you, Doppler." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "Have you considered the conduction in your system, Elec Man? You've got a completely unique to the world combination of fluids flowing in you to handle your electrical outputs and systems. And on top of that, I have to admit, you were a first of your type. There were bound to be some small side effects, and is it really that bad? I'm allergic to some things myself." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Egocentric? ME?! Quint transmits, "Yeah. I mean, I'm allergic to stupidity! So, Elec Man, how are you?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Elec Man transmits, "I'm not supposed to be _allergic_ to things! I'm an android! Damnit, I couldn't even generate electricity! I bet you put wierd crap into my other brothers too, didn't you? You sick freak... you just wanted to torture us with this stuff, didn't you?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Elec Man transmits, "DIDN'T YOU?!?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Doppler tsks. "Sharper than a sepent's tooth." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Egocentric? ME?! Quint interrupts Elec Man with a sneeze. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "Yes, son. Without knowing how to do it, I invented you with the express purpose of making LIttle things that would annoy you into your system that I had no idea how to install and still don't. Can I get back to you? Really, if you give me a few days I think I can figure out from your schematics what's actually wrong..." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Rigger idly remarks, "Aren't shellfish high in iron content?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Yes they are, unLIke yer IQ which is lower than a midget 6 feet under." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "Haha. Sue me, I'm not a biologist. And you're one to talk about IQ's." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "I sure am!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Elec Man transmits, "LIes! Tricery and deceit! You knew what you were doing, and I know you did it to Guts, Ice, Cut, all of them! But not Rock. Not Blues. Not Roll. Oh, no. They're the perfect LIttle creations. The perfect LIttle prototypes. They couldn't do a damn thing wrong, could they? Huh, 'Dad?'" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Number Man transmits, "You, son, need to learn how to hold your LIquor." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Elec Man transmits, "Fishbowl, shut those LIps before I shut them for you. I am not in the mood." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "Elec? Have you MET Blues?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Elec Man transmits, "..." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Number Man transmits, "I'd say yes." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "His real name is Break Dancing Man." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Elec Man transmits, "I wish that I hadn't. OF COURSE I MET BLUES, YOU DODDERING FOOL, WE LIVED TOGETHER!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "And you say he's perfect?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Papa LIght, where did he get that crazy scarf of his?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "As I was going to suggest though, it could be that his system is having trouble breaking down those components into raw energy and it's disrupting the flow of his primary weaponry systems. Kind of LIke sticking a fork into an electrical outlet can trip a circuit breaker." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "So now that chumpy Scorpio's dead, which one is next for us to kill?" (On Pox News Network, of course) "...we interrupt our LIve coverage of the inky blackness of Nigh to bring you this Pox News Alert! Approximately twenty minutes ago, reports of a sporting goods store being looted and severely vandaLIzed made their way to Pox News, apparently by the Robot Masters Bass and Number Man, as well as who appeared to be Daryn Luna. Attempts to contain the trio failed, as Bass was able to easily defeat the initial poLIce blockade. PoLIce have been following the trio, who have commendeered a golf cart, in a low-speed chase through the eastern downtown area of New York City... (more) ...They have also been reported to have robbed and almost destroyed a drive-through LIquor store, and seem to be en route to a nearby CathoLIc parish's school for women. < Cuts to a LIve shot of about fifty poLIce cruisers following about 10 meters back from a golf cart, with a Mr. T standee, several cases of beer and a whole lot of GLossy magazines in the back. Intermittently Number Man, Daryn or Bass (the driver) is visible. Treble, of course, has his head out of the side as the golf cart continues deeper into the city. > [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "Bass and Number Man are steaLIng beer and shoes from a golf cart?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Number Man transmits, "Porn, too. Want some?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Elec Man transmits, "LIght, I say this. Before the world ends, I'm going to see you dead. I will personally tear off your head... maybe have Guts do it if it's too hard... and fLIng it into Nigh." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Now Elec Man, be nice, it's Christmas time, if we kill Santa then Christmas will be canceled and my stock in Wilybrand Toys will be worthless." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Egocentric? ME?! Quint transmits, "Porn? Feh. If you must waste your time staring at that trash, at least share it with me." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "No, thank you both...." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "Who's your new friend, by the way? The person with you two in that golf LImousine." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Number Man transmits, "'Scool. He's with the band." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Sage transmits, "Alright, so while I was working diLIgently and not sleeping.. the Stardroids returned to Earth and now there is something eating up at the sky." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Cancer transmits, "Nigh. Eternal Peace is here... Prepare for Slumber." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Kumicho NOT Mikage Yukiato transmits, " Slumber? Eternal Peace?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Sage transmits, "But.. I just woke up..." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Sage crackles statically for a moment. "So the world is ending, then, I am guessing." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "That's what happens when you tear the tags off of matresses." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Daryn transmits, "Dude! Who did that?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "I think one of the RepLIforcers, might have been Colonel." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "They think because the UN owns them they're above the law." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Daryn transmits, "Has he no honor? No shame?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Apparently not!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Prismatic Spider transmits, "You're rather gulLIble if you'll beLIeve everything Guts Man tells you." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Sage transmits, "I wouldn't be surprised.. I shouldn't be." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Gizmo GLIder transmits, " And so we should LIsten to you instead?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Who are you going to beLIeve? A reputable honest blue collar joe LIke me? Or a corrupt accompLIce to a tag tearer?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Daryn transmits, "A blue collar joe, pal, a blue collar joe." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Gizmo GLIder transmits, " A Tag tearer you say?! See!! This is what your precious RepLIforcers do! THEY ARE EVIL!!! They have been corrupted by the Huuuumans!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Prismatic Spider transmits, "If you beLIeve that, I beLIeve Ring Man has a bridge he'd LIke to sell you." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Sage transmits, "If RepLIforce is evil, it isn't because of involvement with mankind." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Number Man transmits, "But since humanity invented the concept of corruption, isn't that claim a bit suspect?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Gizmo GLIder transmits, " Spare me your constant fooLIsh drivel...earth predator spy. We all know that the RepLIfarce is a secret governmental agency destined to destroy their own race. ONLY TO BE DESTROYED BY THE ONES THEY WORK FOR AND SEEK TO PROTECT!!!" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Sage transmits, "It has been proven that animals are known for abandoning their young if they are touched by other creatures. Corruption is not merely a human aspect."
