Self-Aware Andy-Droid

A bear spotting in Newcrest has led to a town-wide ban on pets in the cities of Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Newcrest, Windenberg, and the tourist destination of Granite Falls. If you see a bear, do not attempt to approach it or socialize with it. Researchers claim that bears in the area are mimicking humans by jogging around the neighborhood and performing random situps. These bears are extremely dangerous and should you see one, it is best to alert professional bear wranglers.

 In other news, something sinister may be operating in the quiet town of Oasis Springs. Investigative journalist Milton Poe filed this special report: 

Oasis Springs is home to many mountains that are equally beautiful and dangerous, perhaps none embodies the latter as much as the ominously named "Mount Eruptus". This active volcano has been looming over the area for as long as any of its citizens can remember, and the government has ignored all requests to assess the danger posed by the volcano. The Mayor of Oasis Springs declined an interview but sent along a written response saying quote "I can assure the great people of Oasis Springs that I have top scientists looking into the matter who have guaranteed the site to be of no immediate threat to this great city." I found this response to not be very reassuring, and decided to do my own investigation.

We trekked up an adjacent mountain just beyond the guarded perimeter where we discovered the obvious signs of a hidden facility within. Somehow I needed to get in there and see what secret operation is being funded by your tax dollars. What isn't the mayor telling us? Luckily, I was able to uncover a source willing to sneak me into the compound to expose the dark secret. I could never have prepared myself for what I would soon discover.

There were no shortage of warning signs around the site. It was no question that trespassers would pay the strictest price. I knew that I was endangering myself by going any further, but it was my duty as an investigator to uncover the truth. My source, who refused to be identified or filmed, claims the facility is owned by none other than reclusive billionaire scientist, Eli Evildoer, and that our great mayor is being forced to keep quiet about his knowledge of the operation. I was about to unravel the truth of Professor Evildoer, and discover that he was not the good samaritan we all believed him to be. You may find the following images to be shocking and appalling.

Upon entering the facility, I was greeted by the grizzly scene of what may likely have been the last truth-seeker to break into the facility. Fortunately for me, my source assisted me in bypassing the first security measures and when I entered the site, I encountered security droids in standby mode only.

The next room presented only more intense security measures. My every move was being recorded, and I feared being caught at any second while I was only a few feet into my mission. I was bombarded with all manner of violating scans in this room. I have been in the presence of many world leaders and never have I witnessed such extreme levels of security.

The final security measure was positive identification by a security official. Fortunately, my source had that duty this day.

I then made my way into a room called the "re-orientation chamber". My source claimed that employees would be randomly flagged for re-orientation and shackled to this chair as subliminal images, suggestive sounds, and synchronized flashes of red and green lights brainwashed them into obedience. My source did not provide a comment on how he evaded the attempts at this type of mind control and had to depart my company. I was now on my own.

The facility was dark with narrow hallways that seemed to go on forever. Deep within the maze of tunnels I encountered this security droid scanning the area. I quickly hid behind an array of pipes in hopes to evade its foreboding gaze. Was it running a routine sweep or had I tripped a silent alarm, and it was searching for me specifically?

Behind several secured rooms I encountered a chemical dumping ground with toxic fumes obscuring a clear view within. I dared not proceed any closer, respecting the caution and warning signs that littered the walls of the room I was in.

I discovered a room with crude surgical equipment and fresh blood stains upon the ground. Who or what was being operated on here, and for what purpose? The room was unoccupied, so I proceeded to investigate further.

Adjacent to the room was what appeared to be a small nursery, where newborns were seemingly being cared for by a menacing looking tentacled robot. A sign on the back wall read "free spawnlings - no returns!" When I met back up with my source later, I asked about this room. I was told that the babies have been subject to invasive medical experiments, and are given to employees. My source did not elaborate on what becomes of the experiments, and I could only speculate.

I got my first glimpse of Professor Evildoer in his private dining quarters. At the same time, he appears to have had his first glimpse of me. Every employee on lunch break had to pass by this glass door that the doctor gazes out of as he eats. Signs on the wall stated that lunch was a privilege, and each second spent eating was a second spent not working. An array of clocks were positioned to likely remind us of this. Does Eli Evildoer have employees, or minions?!

As I investigated further into the evil labyrinth, I came upon a room with a site that startled me to my very core. Suspended in some unknown liquid were malformed clones being grown of Eli Evildoer himself! I watched helplessly as a young clone, fully awake but devoid of skin or eyes beat his fist desperately on the walls of his glass prison.

One of the most ominous discoveries was when I found Dr. Evildoer in a room with strange technology, green crystals, and unfamiliar plant life. In the center of the room was a strange gateway of some sort, with what I could only describe as a swirling vortex in the center through which the doctor appeared to be communicating with someone... or something.

My last image was of this haunting photograph of the doctor. I fled the facility immediately after this picture was taken, fearing that I had been discovered and that my very life was in danger. Upon later inspection of this image, I got the impression that he was not looking at me, it was as though he was looking right through me. Is this the face of a man possessed by something other-worldly that came through the portal? I began this investigation looking into the secrets of Mount Eruptus, but my investigation has left me with more questions than I had when I started. Who is the real Eli Evildoer? What is this hidden facility, and what plans does he have in store for the residents of Oasis Springs? I am Milton Poe for SNN, signing off.
