Megopolous.® The Big City.© Big corporations make big cities.©
It's the way of the world.™
When MegaCorp® developed the first cybernetic law enforcement unit, BlockoCop®,
their chief rival, CyberCorp® tripled their efforts to create a similar
product. CyberCorp® was down right embarrassed that the opposition
beat them to the punch. As is the case when complex things are rushed,
mistakes are usually made.
The chassis, the new Grip On Crime (GOC)® arm units, and the patented "Slag
'em Where They Stand"™ defensive tail unit were all complete and wired.
The last step was the donor brain that would control it all.©
Confident in their product's superiority over the competition's, they began
to grow weary of waiting.©
It was a happy day at CyberCorp® when, finally, a courageous officer fell in
the line of duty who did not possess any head trauma and had his organ donor
card with the appropriate witness signatures all filled in.
There was no time to waste.
CyberCorp® had the brain sped over to the research center where a relay line
started at the receiving door and weaved throughout the building, down five
stories and into the secret laboratory.© And if you're wondering how
CyberCorp® kept this lab secret, they staffed the relay line according to
clearance.© The people having the least clearance started at the
receiving door and ended at the lab with those who have the highest.©
No one ever got into a section they were not already allowed to be in.©
The CyberCorp® execs were very happy with themselves over this.
Anyhoo, person by person, the donor brain, which was in a cooler®, was
passed along the line and finally made it to the lab. The rely line
dispersed and everyone who participated got an exclusive corporate shirt
with "CyberCorp®: We have the brains"™ embroidered on it.© The
lab door was sealed and the cooler opened. Like a wrinkly,
pinkish-grey heap of gold, the brain shimmered in the light.© The assistant
removed the brain and turned to bring it over to the patented Brain Dome®.
However, the assistant did not realize how slippery the brain would be when
handled with rubber gloves and all of a sudden the brain popped out of his
hands. He began running around the lab, frantically trying to gain
control of the run away brain, juggling it like a loose football.
Before long, everyone was involved, the brain bouncing from one set of
hands to another. The lab became completely disheveled with all kinds
of containers emptying their contents upon the floor and tables. The
brain finally came to rest in a puddle of goo™©® once it hit the floor.
The chief surgeon, following the five second rule, picked up the brain and
placed it within the Brain Dome.®
With a huge sigh of relief from all, the Brain Dome® was attached to the
rest of the unit. It was time for BrainBot® to awake!
With a slight hum and the flickering of the pre-processors, full power
coursed through BrainBot.® All stood in silence as BrainBot® began to
stir. It peered across the room and then spoke, "Adjusting internal
circuitry."© The lab personnel just looked at one another.
Speaking again, he then said, "Hostiles, you are under arrest. Lower
your weapons and come peacefully. You have five seconds to comply."©
Not possessing any weapons, the lab personnel just stood there somewhat
bewildered. Sensing trouble, one of the surgeons hit the panic button.
Immediately, the elite of CyberCorps® Security staff, armed with the
latest technology, burst into the lab. BrainBot® simply stated,
"Counter measures initiated."© The Security staff open fire, but to
their horror, they no longer knew how to use their weaponry! The ones
that did, ended up shooting lab members accidentally. BrainBot® swung
his tail across the lab and swatted people like so many flies. There
was nothing by chaos in the lab. BrainBot® used his tail gun to bring
the ceiling down upon everyone. Scanning for life, BrainBot® did not
find any. He hovered out of lab and blasted his way out of
the building. BrainBot® was out to protect the world from hostiles!
Unfortunately, everyone was considered hostile.
Sitting up high in CyberCorp's® headquarters, the execs looked on at the
chaos and destruction they have unleashed. The CEO shrugged and said,
"Hey, for version 1.0, we did really well!"™
