  9. Mimetics. Once a burgeoning race of artificial humanoids built by Atlantis, only to be swept into storage after revolting against their masters, it seems quite ironic, then, that they would choose to atone for their past sins by aiding the legacy left behind by their creators, Humanity and their own manufactured children, the Synthetics.
  10.  
  11. Nearly a month has passed since this enigmatic people revealed themselves to the world after successfully capturing the leader of the terrorist cell known as the Order of Homo Novus, and already they've quickly begun integrating themselves into several facets of society.
  12.  
  13. Most prominently, the defense sector has been bolstered immensely with the introduction of easily understood and constructed designs into the many manufacturing arms of the unofficial super corporation alliance.
  14.  
  15. Since this period of development, the Global Union of Divisions has had time to focus on maintaining and revising their government policies, society's infrastructure, and police services. Indeed, with the advent of Mimetic forces to supplement the Civil Defense Force, policing various population centers around the globe has been made exponentially easier.
  16.  
  17. It is for these reasons and many others that the G.U.D. has finally been able to start releasing structure reports again, simple announcements on the state of the varying facets of modern day society.
  18.  
  19.  
  20. (Marcello Jimenez): Hello, Earth, welcome to the Structure Report. We're coming to you live from the G.U.D.'s main headquarters.
  21.  
  22. (Monica Vasquez): That's right, Marcie.
  23.  
  24. (Marcello Jimenez): And here I was thinking we finally got over that one!
  25.  
  26. (Monica Vasquez): *laughs* Well, enough of childhood nicknames. Onto the news. First up, crime rates are down for the first time in 10 years in the city of Dubai.
  27.  
  28. (Marcello Jimenez): It seems that the integration of the Mimetic workforce has done wonders with making policing easier for departments all around the globe. And now for a report on the Civil Defense Force. Over to you, Kim.

  40. The footage feed cuts out from the G.U.D. H.Q. broadcast room over to a live connection in Chernobyl; more specifically, with one Kim Li over by the Exhibition Military Base in the area.
  41.  
  42. In the background, there seems to be some field testing being done with prototype equipment; the equipment in question looks somewhat similar to standard-issue troop deployment VTOLs, albeit with an aesthetic more in line with that of the overall Mimetic look. As Kim Li watches on, a Mimetic Keeper walks up to her, requiring the camera to zoom out so that both of them can fit in the same shot.
  43.  
  44.  
  45. (Kim Li): Thanks, Marcello. I'm here at Exhibition Military Base, reporting to you live at a prototype testing stage. So, can you tell me more, sir?
  46.  
  47. (Mimetic Keeper): Of course, Ms. Li. By the way, big fan of your work.
  48.  
  49. (Kim Li): Why, thank you! But please, continue, Mr. Keeper.
  50.  
  51. (Mimetic Keeper): Certainly. As you can see behind us, some prototype VTOLs are being tested. As you could also probably tell, these were designed to be used by my people.
  52.  
  53. (Kim Li): I can see that. Ummmm.......... I can't seem to see a troop bay, anywhere.
  54.  
  55. (Mimetic Keeper): That's intentional. You see, we Mimetics can easily compress ourselves into more compact forms for easier deployment. Thus, we designed our VTOLs to carry Drones, Warriors, and Keepers such as myself like drop-in cargo.
  56.  
  57. (Kim Li): Interesting. And how is it piloted?
  58.  
  59. (Mimetic Keeper): These vehicles are completely self-automated using an artificial intelligence algorithm we created specifically for it. In fact.......
  60.  
  61.  
  62. The Mimetic Keeper makes a sharp whistling noise, albeit not actual whistling due to the lack of physical vocal chords, which causes one of the prototype VTOLs to hover over to the Keeper and Kim Li; this quite naturally startles her a bit, though she adjusts relatively quickly. The vehicle descends close enough to be hovering behind the two, although the camera still needs to zoom out to fit it in the shot.
  63.  
  64.  
  65. (Mimetic Chariot): Mimetic Chariot unit, reporting for duty.
  66.  
  67. (Kim Li): They talk?
  68.  
  69. (Mimetic Keeper): Indeed. And we decided to use "Chariot" as their unit designation, in keeping with our people's somewhat artistic naming style.
  70.  
  71. (Kim Li): Well, you saw it here first, folks! Talking Mimetic deployment vehicles, almost ready for active duty!
