Trouble in Archimedes

FIRST News – “the FIRST to report the truth”

ATLANTA:

The city is experiencing X-Treme Heat (223), since some LuNaTeCs (316) dumped a truckload of Element 945 (945) into the Underground today. “It sounded like some Deep Thunder (147) combined with High Voltage (231)… pretty wicked!” said BP (360) O’Gorman (982) from the Quad City (648) area. This happened in the Archimedes division, and luckily the Newton, Galileo, and Curie divisions had no contamination.

Onlookers quickly started Screaming at the Team (1037) of Nautae (974) hooligans who were acting like a bunch of Delphi Demons (858). But they gave no other Resistance (86).

Authorities were called in to tackle this anti-Paragon (571). Even the FEDS (201) have gotten involved, along with local SWATT (1088) teams and tech-savvy L33T Crews (521). While some may think this is Robbextreme (56), others want even more personnel to be involved. The chief of police neither denies or admits to calling in the Megaforce Squadron (814), the Arctic Warriors (174) or the Rhode Warriors (121) to ComBBat (21) the WildStang (111) bunch that did this. “We’ve got our best crews on it”, says KD (606) Cooney (269), Atlanta chief of police. “We heard that the kids who did this are from the Hammond (71) area, but we are not sure.”

It would appear that the substance had lethal affects, turning friendly FEMBOTS (692) into a episode of U.R.R., Ultimate (922) Rampage Robotics (459).

Many questions have been brought up regarding the severity of this strange element. While it is usually used in building a variety of robots, from Probots (301) to Pyrobots (1396) and Beachbots (330), it is not used in SieH20Bots (237) and Crandroids (448). According to robotic expert Montclair (555) Rice (870), “The newer forms of robots do not use Dexterous Gearheads (102) and therefore need Burning Magnetos (342) to Red Jam (311) the robot’s Dynamos (250). That is where this scarce element comes in to play. With this new technology, the Circuit Runners (1002) can transfer many more Kil-a-bytes (1024) under lower Voltage (386).” He seemed to be armed to Infinity (900) with this information, as he continued “However, there are some drawbacks. Some Tyranical Mechanicals (1272) did not obey the Second Law Enforcers (178) when using some material recently, and they came up with a Bionic Bulldog (60). Others created RoboDogs (435) and the Huskie Brigade (65) was not pleased at all. Some Huskies (1112) were even hurt when approaching these RoboDawgs (288). Also, I have heard that other careless users have made smaller, but equally deadly mistakes by creating Killer Bees (33), RoboBees (836). They are surely shuffling a deck of Killer Kards (136).”

While this is interesting, it is still a mystery as to Who CTEKS (716) knows where this stuff came from. Theory 6 (1241) states that it even came from an ancient Minotaur (1369). Others claim that Martians (494) brought it to earth after being shot down by the Eagle Corps (1158) in the great Eagle Robotics (399) wars of the 90’s. Some don’t even care… they just want these perpetrators jousted into space by the NASA Knights (122) or Robo Knights (1315).

There were rumored reports that the AIS (1414), the American Intelligence Service was looking into this case, but Deputy-general Holly High (1141) could not be reached for contact.

The only lead that currently is guiding the investigative team is that a TechnoKat (45) was picked up for TechnoJay(94)-walking outside of the Underground right before the attack happened. He was speaking in Arab Robotics (548), about some Woburn (188) TechnoTiger (966) who wanted to go to Palo Alto (8). There was a car waiting for him, a late model Adidaron (476) XHS (806), made by Alpine Robotics (159). While this did not make any sense, it seemed to coincide with the craziness of the day.

Then again, this all may be happening because there is some crazy robotics contest in town next week, but who cares about that?
