THE STEEL GIANT

"We placed the Aquarius Stone into that peculiar metal sphere uncovered from beneath Goug. At this, the sphere reacted violently and began to change form. Standing before us was a marvel of ancient technology - an iron automaton in the form of a man. It seemed to recognize me as a master of sorts, so I gave it an order. " -- Ramza Beoulve Affiliated with Phoenix Down

Strange. Perhaps a security robot? Still, it does not seem hostile - yet - so Sephiroth relaxes minutely.

“You may refer to me as Sephiroth. Currently I am merely acquainting myself with the area,” Sephiroth tells it. It’s as much to test its intelligence as it is to answer its blunt demand.

At the bright red light, Sephiroth reaches for Masamune. He’s been involved in far too many R&D disasters to not do so.

It reminds Sephiroth of some of the machines produced by ShinRA R&D. He wonders if perhaps it has gone rogue.

“M-Moderate build?! Why, I’ve never been so insulted in my life!” Leblanc closed her fan and used it to whack the giant robot.

The attack bounced off his chest; unable to trigger the robot's counter attack. His optic visors washed the other in a another wave of red light.

"Ge-gemini....first...?" Noctis blinked. What the hell was this machine saying? He scratched the back of his head and pondered for a moment, "So basically you're just some robot with a fancy name, am I right?"  

[construct8-blog]

The construct's scanner picked up the warrior's actions. Recording Noctics' movements and behavior, the robot leaned forward. A monotonous voice echoed from it's helmet. "INCORRECT. I AM CALLED CONSTRUCT 8. I AM VERY STRONG."

(Construct 8 slows down, the vents on his back opens abruptly and releases large amount of heat)

ERROR. SYSTEM OVERFLOW.

FAN FAILURE.
