Log of Agent G: I've been at the base for almost three days now, confined to a room, or perhaps a cell. I've busied myself with making escape plans, but squads of armed guards patrol around the base regularly. The soldiers and guards always wear thick metal masks that shield their faces, but at this point I wonder if those masks are their faces. It seems likely that robotic soldiers would be used.

Yesterday, two guards came for me, with the man is the mask ordering them about. They each took one of my arms at the command of the man, and they marched forward, dragging me with them. It would have almost been comical if it were in different standards. I was a prisoner, and they didn't let me forget it. The inside of the base is like a maze, with countless turns and innumerable passageways. Finally, we stopped in front of a large, metal door. At a signal from the masked man, the door groaned and slowly lifted with the sound of pained gears. I found myself in a large room, with seemingly nothing in it. I heard something though. Mechanical sounds, but smooth and calculated, far newer than the sounds of the door. In a corner of the room, I saw it. A mechanical man, almost twice my height, walked slowly towards us out of the shadows.

"Behold!" Said the man in the mask. "The greatest military invention of our age."The GR-1M."

I said nothing.

"Do you know why I'm showing you this? It's because I see your promise. I see your contempt for the petty squabbling of the corporations. I see that you can see the big picture. Andromeda is only the beginning of what the Universe has to offer for us." He went on. "This machine was designed by our best and brightest scientists here, some of which you know well from your beloved M.A.N.T.I.S."

"M.A.N.T.I.S. scientists would never betray M.A.N.T.I.S.!"

"Oh please. Many M.A.N.T.I.S. employees have seen the benefit of S.P.I.D.E.R. Have you never wondered why people just stop coming in? Disappear? S.P.I.D.E.R. has shown them the way, and they knew it was the right one."

"I.."

"This robot is the soldier of the future, and the future is WAR!"

Cool story! Great work. The build is nice, and teh scene is interesting. Nice idea to show off your mech's construction. And the tone is very ominous. Lovely work!
