Man X was found and how he was found.
Dr. Cain's
Journal: April 8th:
Still nothing. For the last month, I have been sifting through the dirt trying
to find a fossil record which would verify my findings on Mesozoic plant life,
but so far I have come up empty. Tomorrow, I'll move my archaeological dig to a
new site. Maybe I'll have better luck.
April 9th:
Set up camp at the new site and laid out a preliminary groundwork for the dig. I
got some odd readings at location E-46. It looks like something metallic is
buried several meters below the surface.
April 10th:
I can't believe what I found! Several meters below the surface was the remains
of a lab. Although most of the lab was damaged, I did manage to find papers that
indicate that it belonged to the famous robot designer, Dr. Thomas Light. I've
begun to review what is left of Dr. Light's notes and it looks like he was onto
a major breakthrough. The notes keep referring to "the capsule".
April 13th:
I found it. Standing 14 meters high and 8 meters wide, the capsule was hidden
underneath a collapsed ceiling. Even underneath all that rubble, the capsule has
remain intact and was still running some sort of diagnostic when I found it.
There is a warning on the capsule, but all the indicators on the capsule show
green. It should be safe to open it. I'll know tomorrow.
April 14th:
Today I met "X". Not simply a robot, X is something totally different. Light has
given him the ability to think and make his own decisions. At times, X seems
more like a man than like a machine.
April 15th:
Light was a genius! I've been going over his design notes and they are a quantum
leap beyond anything the world has ever seem. Using them as a guide, I may be
able to replicate his design and integrate them into a new generation of robots.
I'll begin transporting X and the rest of Dr. Light's things back to my lab
tomorrow.
November 22nd:
With X's help I have completed my first "Reploid". Although I don't completely
understand how all of Dr. Light's systems works, I was able to make some minor
modifications and the Reploid seems to be functioning perfectly. His strength
and intelligence seem limitless and he is fullyable to make his own decisions.
In fact, we got into our first argument. How intriguing!
January 3rd:
The new reploids have been running off the assembly line for several weeks. It's
amazing how easily they have been able to adapt to even the most difficult jobs.
It still is a bit odd to see them working side by side with humans, but everyone
seems to be happy to accept them.
February 16th:
Three reploids went "maverick" today and injured two people before they were
stopped. This is the third instance of this type of behavior and I still have no
idea what is causing it! There is some talk about stopping the assembly of any
more reploids, but I don't think it will happened. Maybe we've become too
dependent on them....
The council has now decided to set up a group of "Hunters" to destroy any
maverick before it can cause injury. The reploid named Sigma has assigned to
lead the Hunters. Sigma is one of the most intelligent reploids I've created and
contains my latest circuit designs. His systems should be immune to any
problems.
May 16th:
It's been two months since Sigma took control of the Maverick Hunters and he and
his hunters have been able to prevent any further injury to the population.
Everyone is starting to breath a little bit easier....
I am a little worried about X. He seems unsure of his place in life and what Dr.
Light had planned for him. But, given time, I'm sure he'll find his way....
June 4th:
My worst nightmare has just come true. Sigma went maverick today and took most
of the other hunters with him. His motives are unclear, but it seems that he
"decided" that humans are inferior and limiting the growth of the Reploids. For
that reason, he decided that all humans should be eradicated.
Most of the population is in hiding or trying to flee the city. I'm not sure how
long we can hold out against Sigma's forces. I fear I have built the Reploids
too well.
X is taking the news of the war very personally. He wants to join ZERO, the new
leader of the Maverick Hunters, when he goes after Sigma. I'm doubtful of their
chances, but I won't stop him. Something has to be done....
