  1. [September 20, 2151]

  3. [Luna]

  6.  
  7. Within the depths of the moon base, a multitude of engineers, researchers, and robotic assistants are working on a massive project that requires the artificial gravity enhancer in the area to be shut off in order to safely work on construction; personnel both Human and Synthetic also need to utilize magnetic boots in the manufacturing room.
  8.  
  9. The massive room contains multiple sophisticated machines, at a scale that would be suitable for building and arming an entire military battalion. However, instead of forging equipment for the Earth's militaries, a much greater project is in the works: the preliminary stages of the first mass-production Colossus, the successor to the original Warmonger from World War III and First and Second Waves.
  10.  
  11. In addition to the main components to the enormous machines, the manufacturing room also houses multiple smaller bays around the main work space devoted to advancing the next stage of the Light Exoskeleton line of defense hardware, now renamed the Mobile Titans by Dr. Anna Maximoff.
  12.  
  13. However, despite progressively positive results from experiments conducted back on Earth, the automation of both the Colossus and Mobile Titan lines without the need for Human integration into the non-standard DE energy cores remains elusive to engineers working on the moon base.
  14.  
  15. Despite this obstacle, the staff persevere, constantly searching for possible solutions.
  16.  
  17.  
  18. (Marvin-B2142): Excuse me, Dr. Doyle?
  19.  
  20. (Dr. Alexander Doyle): Yes? What is it, my Synthetic friend?
  21.  
  22.  
  23. Dr. Doyle walks over to the Synthetic researcher and looks over his holo-notes. He's visibly intrigued, although there's a small hint of dissatisfaction in his expression.
  24.  
  25.  
  26. (Marvin-B2142): Something the matter, sir?
  27.  
  28. (Dr. Doyle): You've come up with quite an interesting proposition, here. Modifying a Synthetic's sentience matrix to mimic Human patterns that might allow us to create full automation within the Colossi and Mobile Titans.
  29.  
  30. (Marvin-B2142): Yes, well, I figure that if we can physically rearrange the connective wiring in the center of a Synthetic's artificial neural hub to match the biological equivalent in a Human, we may be able to induce non-standard DE energy in an artificial intelligence complex without needing to integrate a live Human being into our defense hardware.
  31.  
  32. (Dr. Doyle): One problem, though.
  33.  
  34. (Marvin-B2142): And that would be?
  35.  
  36. (Dr. Doyle): It's not just a simple matter of rearranging the wiring. We can achieve sentience in the programming easily enough thanks to the cloned Human brains, but the material and electrical signals that course through the network...... We need a substitute material that will trick non-standard DE energy into releasing from its dimension, thinking that it's providing itself to a living being. Your cloned brains don't get the same results as natural brains for some reason.
  37.  
  38.  
  39. The two researchers look at the notes on the holographic board thoroughly, knowing the basic steps necessary to achieve their goal but not possessing the resources required to make it a reality. As the two think, a nearby Synthetic's eyes are glowing green, indicating that they're recording what it's seeing; the Synthetic, after a few minutes, ends the recording process and slips away, unnoticed by its peers.

  50. In one of the large conference halls of the University of Windsor, Dr. Laura Reed is giving a presentation to fellow academics in several fields of scientific study, especially theoretical physics. Next to her, her colleague and good friend, Dr. Wei Ho, is aiding her presentation to the scientific community. The two of them are currently showing holographic slides of scans of Gamera's body, as well as the amulet Dr. Reed carries with her.
  51.  
  52.  
  53. (Dr. Reed): As you can see, the amulet that links me to the Atlantean creature known as Gamera is composed of a very strange and unique metal that Atlantis called 'Orichalcum'. It is an alloy of some kind, although of what metals, we cannot say for certain yet.
  54.  
  55. (Dr. Ho): What we DO know is that the metal composition is also present within Gamera's body. His bones are composed of the metal, making them extremely strong. Not only that, but the Orichalcum is also present in trace amounts in his neural network, acting as a conduit of neurological signals between him and my colleague, and also the mysterious energy source we call 'Mana'.
  56.  
  57. (Dr. Reed): We hope to be able to recreate this metal and the process associated with it, and eventually utilize it in any number of applications.
