What do you think of humans?“Contrary to common robot bias, I don’t think of humans any different. I used to think that they’re annoying, weak and so on. You know, standard Wily Bot bias.”“...But now, I see that we’re all the same. People should be judged as an individual, not as a whole.”“Too many robots fall for the same trap. All because they think they’re superior.”

“My posture?”“It varies. I tend to hunch in combat. Keep the vital parts as far away from the opponent as possible.”“Out of it, I try to stand straight. Just like a robot would. Even more important if I’m in a dress. A lady has to carry herself with confidence and grace.”“Though... that’s just an ideal. I don’t have that kind of energy anymore.”“Have you ever seen a person with a ton of weight on their mind? And let their neck lean wherever it wants? Imagine that.”

HC + Assasin work

“Well, below is a very, very long post. And if you don’t approve of this subject feel free to skip.”“Now if only the censor bars work properly...”

“The organization I’m in – Shining Star – has three different sectors.”“The Hero Sector is the most public, cherished and appreciated sector. But it’s also the most restrictive. They’re the ones who appear on news. Because they appear on news, they have a number of regulations that they must follow.”“No killing, that’s one. All criminals must be arrested alive. Provided the target don’t commit suicide or run into a fatal accident. If they find it’s due to negligence on the hero’s part… they might suffer penalties.”“They also musn’t break the law in whatever they do. Got to work with the local law enforcement, and not do shady things that could damage their reputation. As a result, their operational zone is a bit limited.”“Choosing an alias is optional, although it’s encouraged. You really don’t want people to encroach into your personal life.”“To give a good idea of how the Hero Sector works, watch Tiger and Bunny. The big names are walking advertising boards. Although we don’t have a TV program dedicated to point-ranking shenanigans.” “Pyro Knight is in the Hero Sector. I told him not to accept any sponsorships. For good reasons. He has a successful day job to maintain and I need to him to concentrate on a vital few.”“The Agent Sector is deeper in the grey area of things. Like the Hero Sector, they deal directly with law enforcement. With some main differences.”“Classified information, for one. It goes without saying that the better your reputation, the more law enforcers are willing to confide. Agents with agents. And you know sometimes things get… complicated.”“Agents don’t advertise themselves to protect themselves and their work. Their name gets around within the circles, and that’s about it. Don’t expect James Bond stuff. I know it sounds cool, but most days are very mundane investigative stuff.”“My Blues is in the Agent Sector, hence the nickname ‘Agent Blues’. Secretive. Cautious. Fits him to a T. Eh, don’t worry. Every Tom, Dick and Harry in the Law sector knows his name. And the Protoman image too.”“Then there’s the Hidden Sector: the team that exist yet not. Our sole purpose is to do what others cannot do.”“Assassins.”“We have some… guidelines. Never reveal your true identity. Nicknames only. Wear a mask if you can help it. Keeps you and your family safe in more ways than one.”“Never act without informing your liaison. They’re the ones who will cover your tracks if needed. Without their support, you can –and most likely will– end up at the wrong side of the law.”“Never do a job for money. Kill for gold, and you may end up executing a key person. The entire organization will hunt you down for jeopardizing the future.”“I make arrangements with the Agent Sector. Sometimes I call them, sometimes they call me. I don’t get missions every day mind you. I still need to do my legal Field Operator stuff.”“My tasks… demolition related assistance are a given. But not to kill people. Goodness, that’s the surest way to attract unwanted media attention.”“My explosives are placed to either flush ambushers out, or to close off escape paths. I’ve done the flushing part before to save …an important person from getting shot by snipers.”“But the escape paths? Wow, learn something new there. The Agents taught me quite a bit. Corner targets, assist escape, force reroutes into a trap… I felt like I’m doing Snake’s job instead. My repertoire expanded to include flash bang placements. I… really hate those. Too bright, too loud.”“Then there are some bodyguard duties. Although I must say Envoi is the real employee in this situation. All I need to do is be there. They’re sensitive and they’re fast enough to deflect multiple bullets. Great guardians.”“…Yes, there are a handful of true assassination duties. Target and kill. Human or robot don’t matter. I don’t have the Three Laws of Robotics installed in the past, present and future.”“Usually such jobs are regulated to guys with stealthier skills. The ones who climb everywhere, snipers, spies… you get the idea. But sometimes they need someone with more ‘direct’ combat experience.”“I’m nowhere as fast as Shadow. Or as stealthy. Almost got caught when I still went about solo. So what situation do they need me in?”“Let me give you an example. Once upon a time, the military discovered a den of extremist robots. Obtained bioweapons. They target judges, politicians and lawyers: the people who uphold the controversial constitution. Yes, influential scientists too.”“It’s weaponized flu virus. I kid you not, it’s flu. Have you heard of what flu epidemics caused in history? Scary stuff. If released, it’ll be hard to pinpoint the source because they’re so… common.”“The Agents realised that this event did not happen in the normal future nor the saved future. There was a critical intelligence leak somewhere that allowed them to obtain this bioweapon.”“It called for total extermination. Every leader and mastermind must die. Their base, destroyed. Any signs of production, decimated after extracting vital info. It must cease to exist: as it’s supposed to be. I’m to use my signature weapon after every possible witness is gone.”“…The leader recognized me. It seems the leak involved my identity too. He asked: why? Why do I defend the oppressors who discard robots as unwanted tools?”“It’ll be the same reason he would have heard multiple times across his life. One that he will refuse to accept.”“Fighting back with terror only cements the idea that robots must be strictly regulated.”“So I killed him without giving an answer.”“Well, this got really long. If you want to hear more stories, please poke the mailbox. There are some nice success stories that didn’t end in tragedy. I promise.”

HC + health

“Hoo boy, I knew this question is going to come up sooner or later. Many must wonder why this particular variant of Crash has just plain terrible health record.”“…………….”“Truth to be told, I was not… made healthy. First, it’s this whole Guts/Bomb fugue mind deal. Bipolar, pretty much. Docile one moment. Then the next, flying off the handle.”“When you have that kind of mental condition, other complications eventually pile unto each other. As time went by, it shifted to physical wear and tear.”“And then, my life-changing trauma happened. It’s all… a giant snowball of issues.”“You’d think having a new, sparkling Reploid body would fix that. Oh, it did. For a month or two. Then I stretched too far.”“…Long story short, I became a vessel. First for an unstable product, and now for Envoi. The strain increased over time as they become more developed.”“It does not help that I have an exhausting career path.”“Do I care…? No. Not really. Not anymore.”“There’s… one aspect that remained the same since my initial conception. Depression, perhaps. Or self-loathing. Or something along that lines.”“When I was young, I hated myself for how I behave. For how others treat me. Who I am now, was my younger self’s dream.”“…I changed, yet nothing changed. I am still me. I have memories, pasts, regrets. And I still hurt others. The severe decline of my physical condition worsens the spiral.”“I’m sure that is killing me faster than Envoi will ever accomplish. The decisions I make, the times I push myself to the limit, the overextention, the neglect…”“Guess, it’s of no surprise isn’t it?”“Hey, doesn’t mean I can’t fight. I noticed that in training, a battle shuts off a lot of warning signals. For that one moment, I become a true force.”“Sure, I’ll become a wreck later that night. But I’m used to it…”

Wait if Shadowman is now the doctor, who's head of security?

“Magnetman.”“I know it sounds laughable because he’s forever lost. But he manages all the security related details from the ‘Control Centre’. As long he doesn’t need to walk, his poor sense of direction won’t sabotage him.”“Plenty of delegation. Like Search taking care of ground security with the Sniper Joes. Cloud for air patrol. Things like that.”“He refined much of the management skills from Flash. Toned down his abrasiveness. You know, drama is never good for teamwork.”“...Though sometimes tables still get flipped over tiny details. That’s when Flash had to step in and become the mediator. Or even become Head of Security for a while.”“.......................................”“I stay far, far, far away from the in-house working environment for a reason.”

“Metalman. And fruit? Hmm... Good question there. I’m not too much a fan of fruit.”“...If I have to choose one that  I really enjoy, it would be sweet mangosteens.”

Okay so. You've not drank chocolate flavoured with blood. But what about blood flavoured with chocolate? Hah got-cha!

Shadow held his breath before the anon. He remained silent for a long while, contemplating if he should even answer this.“I was not presented with the drink for the next batch of sacrifices...”“...But I was offered the results. So yes Anon, you’re correct: I drank human blood flavoured with chocolate. Many times. Out of obligation and gratefulness, if I should add.”“The locals worshipped me as a guardian deity. A representative. If I refuse, they took it as a sign of divine wrath. Panic and distress will ensure.”“It’s all in the past. I’d appreciate it if you don’t go around telling people about this.”
