Kaiba, Proto, Grey is going to be staying with us now. He's new to the City, so please be kind. ~~That means you, Proto.~~

What's the current situation regarding the subway bombing case?

INVESTIGATIVE REPORT
FIELD AGENT: CMDR. MEGA MAN X
SUBJECT: 'STEWARDS'

1/04 1312:14 HOURS

I have arrived at the rendezvous specified by the 'Stewards' along with a number of civilian residents. Two 'Stewards' were there to greet us.

1/04 1323:32 HOURS
[Attached video: snippet of corridor inside ship]

We have obtained entrance to the Stewards' ship. There is a 'gateway' set up which we are told will lead us home; however, the return process will apparently be painful so we will be sedated before being sent through. Needless to say, suspicions are rising. Any drug given will likely be ineffective on Reploid physiology, so I will attempt to simulate the effects while leaving video feed open.

1/04 1339:23 HOURS
[Attached video: clips are now jumbled with poor lighting; a long corridor, the rumbling of a cart, video shows mostly the ceiling]

I and the unconscious civilians are being carried away from the alleged departure room to an unknown destination. Visibility is limited while maintaining cover--

[and then, the ceiling disappears to reveal rows upon rows of pods in a vaulted room, people 'dreaming' in milky fluid in a battery rack that reaches too high to see--

--and then there is a jumbled shout in an alien language, footfalls, the camera swinging wildly, the whine of a plasma buster and--

utter darkness and static.]

CONNECTION TERMINATED. REPORT SET TO POST AUTOMATICALLY AT 2200 HOURS.

[ooc: at Dietrich's suggestion, X set up a system to record what happened when he took the Stewards' up on their offer of a trip home. The report is text, supplemented with small video clips, compiled and sent remotely via a mental link into the Network, since he's a robot and can do such things. It was set to automatically post if X did not add to the report within a specified amount of time.

Obviously, he won't be answering any replies, but feel free to wtf and talk among yourselves or whatever? hope this looks good to you, mods, I'll change anything if there's a problem. ~~and now all this alien conspiracy stuff is making me want to replay Beyond Good & Evil~~]

~~It seems too good, but what other choice is there?~~

I hope everyone had fun at yesterday's party? I didn't go because ~~I really don't like that kind of thing~~ I had some work to catch up on. ~~If Zero were here, I know he would have dragged me out there.~~

The new year's coming, too, but I have no idea what the date will be changing to. Does this place even have a calendar beyond the months passing?

[Private|Unhackable]
This always happens, doesn't it? Whenever I'm not around him, I end up retreating into a shell. I've been here for over three months, now, and there are still very few people I could call friends. As irritating as Zero can be, he does force me to be social.

At least I know he's actually alive this time.

The City isn't helping me much, in all honesty. As open as this place is, I can't help feeling uneasy sometime. It's been many years since that time when I was the only one of my kind, but the feeling from then is still present... constantly having to prove myself as an actual person, and not a well-made machine. As far as I'm aware, myself, Canti, and the Servbots are the only sentient robots in the City. It's like I've taken ten steps backward. The mix of people here makes it different than it was then, and probably no one even really cares, but I can't help feeling isolated sometimes.

...I really do worry too much.
[/private]

Is there someone out there looking for a roommate? This apartment really is too big for one person. You'd have to deal with a fish tank and bookcases taking up most of the wall space, but I can take care of all the cleaning.

[ooc: Because X's been quiet lately and really does need some more friends.]

The last few curses have been strangely peaceful. I wonder how long it will last. Though this obsession with clothing today... I really don't understand humans sometimes.

Teisel, how are you and the Servbots doing?

Captain Short, Commander Vimes has assigned us to patrol together. I'd like to speak with you if you have the chance.

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 19:12:46 GMT

No, I'm not part of the curse. I'm here every day. And while I'm happy to give you directions, I'm not going to serve you food or do chores for you. ~~Is this really what people think reploids are for?~~

However, if any of our new robotic citizens start behaving erratically or hostile toward you, please inform me immediately.

Tue, 06 Nov 2007 20:48:08 GMT

I've had to travel through jungles before. Just... not without my buster or while being organic.

...Does anyone have advice on how to deal with a tiger?

~~This curse had better end soon.~~

[ooc: Lack of technology in the City = not a pleasant curse day at all for a now very human X. Please help him before he gets himself killed. ._.]

...Today's an interesting day. And it sounds like this curse has happened before?

I'm a little curious.

Ah... anyone that I caused distress to yesterday, I apologize. I was acting like a Maverick not myself. Whatever I may have said to you, please disregard it.

[Private to self // extremely hard to hack]

I... was going to harm humans. I would have if I hadn't been stopped. Killing people to protect them... what kind of philosophy is that?

But... it's my philosophy. We kill Maverick reploids under the pretense of protecting everyone else. Human criminals are tried and imprisoned, while we are executed by our own kind as soon as something's suspected to be wrong. General, Colonel, and Iris-- all of the Repliforce... Zero, even. If it ever became public what he is I'd probably be ordered to kill him. I couldn't do that, I wouldn't, but-- I listened when they ordered me to take down Repliforce.

How many innocent lives...?

...I hate this place.

[/Private]

Canti... thank you.

[ooc: After being turned into some kinda homicidal robot drone by yesterday's curse, X attempted to harm civilians after midnight but was stopped by Canti. He's not thinking straight at the moment so strikes & the private section are hackable to the really 1337, esp. Leviathan.]

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 03:30:34 GMT

It is time.

Return to your homes or face termination.

[ooc: affected X is gonna be patrolling the streets with his buster now, shooting at whatever he sees. ._. Don't worry guys, Canti's gonna make sure he doesn't kill anybody...]

Data Entry 009

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 00:39:57 GMT

Please be reminded that all organic beings have a curfew of 11 o'clock standard time. Failure to comply will result in termination on sight.

This is for your own protection. Humans are a self-destructive species. Without proper guidance you will cause yourselves misery and eventually drive yourselves extinct. Comply with our orders and you will remain happy and safe.

We are here to serve.

[ooc: ...very badly affected today, folks.]

I think the biggest reason this city has no organized police force isn't lack of manpower, but lack of citizen cooperation with any sort of investigation... ~~not that there was any reason to expect he would tell us anything.~~

And now we have an influx of... zombies? They don't seem to be doing anything for the moment, though, so I'm reluctant to provoke them. ~~Undead humans are still human... I can't--~~ If they do start to be a threat to anyone, I'm available to help.

[Filtered to Constable Crane and others working on the serial murder case]

Employees at the store whose manager was murdered have stated that no deliveries were scheduled in a 24 hour period before or after the discovery of the remains. Furthermore, no deliverymen matching the suspicious person eyewitnesses described is employed by the shop or nearby businesses. Finally, a shirt and hat matching the description of the suspect's attire were found in a nearby dumpster.

I've been thinking on this, and in my opinion, it's likely that the box murderer, at least, is a newcomer to the City. I've come up with this theory based on two facts: 1. the apparent unique nature of the crime, and 2. the liquefaction of the remains. The resurrection of the dead here is common knowledge and such an act seems like it could be a test of sorts. Of course, there is no hard evidence to back this up, but if the murderer is a long-term resident, it is likely he or she would have killed in a similar manner before.

At this point, it seems the best asset to this case will be if the shopkeeper manages to return to life.
[/filter]

The City seems strangely calm today. Of course, now that I say that, I'm sure something will happen to prove me wrong.

Miss Nagato, it was nice meeting you yesterday. We should talk again sometime.

((ooc: hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here?))

Yesterday's curse was rather interesting, to say the least. Thank you, everyone who indulged me in filling out my survey. It was nice getting to meet to you all. Ptolemy, if you want to have another discussion sometime, I'd be more than happy to!

[Filtered from Miss Maki, Ophelia, and those who would actively harm Miss Maki based on her last post]

Does Miss Shoko Maki actually have superiors or fellow investigators in the City, or is she acting on her own? I'm worried about her safety if she continues to post things like this.

I apologize in advance for my indiscretion, but it seems today's curse has gotten the better of me... I'm rather curious about the demographic structure of this City, and I've created a brief survey that I would appreciate it if you would fill out. ~~This is highly unscientific, but...~~

1. Name:
2. Gender:
3. Age:
4. Species:
5. Place and time period of origin:
6. How long have you been in the City? Have you ever left and returned?
7. Is the City's level of technology greater, on the same level, or less than your homeworld's?
8. Anything else you would like to add?

Of course, feel free to leave any of the questions blank.

EDIT: And since Envy reminded me, here's my own form...

1. Name: Mega Man X
2. Gender: Male
3. Age: I've been active for 16 years, though I was actually built around a hundred years before that.
4. Species: Reploid
5. Place and time period of origin: Earth, 21XX
6. How long have you been in the City? Have you ever left and returned? A few weeks, and no.
7. Is the City's level of technology greater, on the same level, or less than your homeworld's? Less advanced than at home.

((ooc: AKA, an excuse to get him to meet more people... please poke~?))

Tue, 18 Sep 2007 03:35:56 GMT

So today's theme seems to be discussing homeworlds?

Mine is really nothing extraordinary, but it's home. The planet is called Earth, the same as many of yours, and the year is 21XX. Around a hundred years ago a disaster called the Cataclysm wiped out a good portion of humanity and habitable life. But humans picked up the pieces, and reploids like myself have been helping them along.

...Or we were until Mavericks started appearing and the wars broke out. But someday they'll be gone for good. As long as we don't give up hope, I know peace will come eventually.

...Looks like this network needs a better security system.

Thank you again for the cake, Miss Nia. It was... delicious. Though now I have an odd craving for chocolate. ~~I'd think I was malfunctioning, except that so many others appear to feel the same way.~~

Thu, 13 Sep 2007 01:59:53 GMT

It seems the City has quieted down again, and the ~~Mavericks~~ hostile robots show no sign of bringing reinforcements. Are things like this... normal around here?

[Private//Hackable with skill]
It seems pointless to worry, as it's been made very clear that I won't be going home anytime in the near future. Yet... I can't help but do so. Zero, Alia... everyone must be frantic by now.

Still, at least the City proves that those hard-line human politicians are wrong. This place has plenty of suffering, without any reploids around at all...
[end]

And Leviathan, thank you again for allowing me to stay with you.

[ooc: I'm just going to assume X helped out fighting the Mugan, shooting down explosive fragments and such.]

Hunter Base, this is Mega Man X. My coordinates don't appear to match the intended target location, over.

Am I being jammed? There's no static, but...
