"I present to you, R-2034. Our newest combat model, made for battle. Equipped with impenetrable armor, electricity, target location system, and serrated claws. We wanted to go back to the beginning, and return to traditional fighting skills, as it proves most effective compared to our other studies. It has serrated claws, spikes and a sharp horn." A human figure stood on a stage, lit with a single light. Next to him stood one winged figure and one horned figure as guards. They were not humans. There was a screen behind him displaying a picture. Below the stage was a huge audience, some taking notes and some watching the speaker intently.

"I have a question." A reporter said. "What do you expect to do with it? Go to war?"

The speaker was silent. Eventually he said, "I don't take questions. If you have any, please ask my Secretary. She is downstairs at the lobby... Thank you all for attending, you may leave now." He walked off, his guards following. The crowd dispersed, chattering.

An assistant rushed to him. "Sir, the bioweapon is awake."
