text post to the watch

I have information to share regarding the creatures that have been roaming the streets. One of them quite rudely – and quite foolishly – attempted to assault me as I was completing nighttime errands, but I subdued it. Since transporting it to a secure location, I have been running tests on it. I have, as of now, discovered a few points of note.

Firstly, the creature I captured is not magical. I suspect that this is true of all of these creatures, but I will need more specimens to support or reject this hypothesis.

Secondly, I cannot identify the metal comprising some of the specimen's body. I believe that the metal is not of earthly origins. The moisture the metal exudes tests similarly, but it is rather akin to the sweat of an organic being. I highly doubt that it is a dangerous substance.

Thirdly, an inspection of the specimen's cybernetic parts yields nothing out of the ordinary for cybernetics, though the technology in and of itself is fascinating. As the specimen remains alive, I am hesitant to dissect its organic sections or probe its brain. If it dies, I will complete a full-body internal examination.

Finally, observation of the areas where the flesh and metal join reveals that this specimen has been in possession of its cybernetic components for roughly a month. Whoever or whatever made this creature and its brethren what they are has seemingly been planning out these events. That leaves one to wonder: what is its objective? Judging from others' exchanges with the "Dr. Dynamo" figure, one might conclude that it is seeking to "cleanse" those it regards as "unclean" – those with superhuman abilities, I believe. The question remains, however: why? What does it stand to gain?

If you have information of your own, I will be eager to listen.

Do you have reason to believe that the false Dynamo's religious zealotry serves a higher purpose?

Removal of superhuman forces would facilitate standard supervillain goals to "take over the world".

Then you believe that despite the inhumanity of the false Dynamo, they may still be genuine in their zealotry.

Technological failures and harvested captives may provide alternate sources for new technology outside of standard manufacturing processes; however, your hypothesis has been noted and will be weighted equally with others.

We agree that a form of religious cleansing is most likely to be the primary motive behind deployment of cybernetic mutant animals.

It is a significant possibility. Cybernetic and synthetic captives may also have been involved.

Earth has the highest number of genetic mutants with abilities beyond that of species wild-types, the highest number of alien immigrants, and the highest concentration of thaumatic energy documented by this platform. The effects of these properties gain complexity in combination.

This planet is unpredictable. Multiple superhumans in a single location increase the likelihood of unseen outcomes.

As of ten seconds ago, yes. We will be able to determine location within a week.

Is there any way to trace it back to a place of origin? Where they were put together or sent from?

If you need more of these things I can give some to you after I take them down, but their circuits might be a bit fried.

Someone has to take them down, so if they can be useful I may as well deliver them to you.

Alright then, I'll keep the shocking to a minimum.

Did you have a location already in mind? I was planning to be downtown tonight, but I don't think it makes much difference where I am.

No, I can meet you, but I can't carry these things too far. How far outside of the city are you?

Sure. Hopefully I can take a couple down on my way. How soon will you be there?

No need for more specimens of these dreadful things! I can assure you, none of them are magical in any way, shape or form.

I don't *need* to, for I carry in my blood the amazing ability to detect arcane energies! If these were magical, I could most definitely tell.

Ah, but here's the trick - no wizard alive can track magic like I do. It's a natural talent, one passed down my family for generations! You could call me... a specialist.
superball: (Why so srs)

[personal profile] superball 2014-05-09 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Ouch! You wound me. I thought you might appreciate the confirmation that magic has nothing to do with this, at least!

... Although it's true that this power hasn't been of much use to me when facing those horrendous monsters.
