Test Results (Golm)

Stepping into one of the further back rooms, Breech finally saw Golm. He had already prepared all the tools necessary to complete the repairs, all Breech needed to do was simply lay down on the operation table to begin. "Excellent work Golm, I see your effectiveness has increased 12.5% due to your last upgrade, though there is still room for improvement..."

He walked towards the operating table in a calm manner. Though he had lost his battle, it was good for collecting data! He now knew his body was far from perfect, and that more needed to be done. Breech was also given a brand-new goal: Eliminate that bratty girl and her tailed friend. It was a secondary objective of course, but it was something he'd have to remember to do sooner rather than later.

As he sat himself flat on the operating table, he heard Golm ask about Project Aris. Breech simply waved his hand in annoyance at the question "I'll tell you when the time is right Golm...for now, just work on repairing my systems as quickly as possible."

To ignore further questioning, Breech let himself fall into "inactive" mode, to allow Golm to have an easier time with the repairs.

(eh, not the greatest post)

Slowly, Breech awoke from his self-induced slumber. Sitting up on the operating table, he listened as Golm explained what he had accomplished. Alongside the repairs, Golm also upgraded Breech's arms. He could certainly feel the difference already. They were sturdier, and they felt like they were faster as well. He stood up and did something those fancy martial artists did on occasion. He shadow-boxed, aiming punches at nobody in particular. The doctor threw out a barrage of 5 jabs, alternating between left and right fist each time. After his quick test, he returned to a normal standing position, placing his hands behind his back as he turned to Golm.

"Well done Golm. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. I suppose that it is now time to go over what information I've gathered, don't you agree?"

With his question posed, he turned around and walked over to an obscenely clean desk with multiple oddities upon it. The first outstanding item was the LED-Drone Golm had retrieved a few days prior. The small piece of tech was resting quietly, awaiting the moment that Breech would further inspect it. For now it would have to wait, as Breech was more interested in the other item on the desk.

A small, barely noticeable button lay behind a small pile of documents. With a brief motion he moved the documents out of the way and tapped the button with his finger, causing a small slot to pop out of the table.

Breech sat still for a moment as he did some internal digging. After a moment, he found the video recording that was stored in his ocular drives. He placed his index finger in the slot, and the video recording began streaming to a large screen on the opposite side of the room. "This recording was taken earlier today. It features a brief scuffle I had with two children. They were extraordinarily powerful, both of them surpassing your power, and one of them surpassing even I." he said this as if he were a professor explaining an equation to his students.

The video started up, showing Breech landing on an island opposite two children, a girl and a boy. The boy, who was floating, flew up to Breech and yelled in his ear, causing Breech to retaliate with force. The girl didn't seem to like that much, seeing as she rushed forward and attacked the doctor with her blades hilt. The fight continued on for a while, but the end result was Breech's condition before he was repaired. The video ended when Breech hit the water.

"As you can see, the first test was a catastrophic failure. The most notable problem I found is that the Ocular Lazer proved ineffective, which means we'll have to work on upgrading that as soon as possible."

With his explanation over, Breech turned his attention to the LED-Drone. He was going to begin tampering with it, but decided this would be a decent time to determine just how much Golm knew about the situation.

"Golm, I'm curious...do you know what exactly this Drone is for?"

As the video ended, Golm noticed something that Breech had as well. Etoru, the young boy, was a saiyan! He had the signature bushy tail, and if Breech had to guess, he probably had the average Saiyan power level. His data was a bit dated however, so he wasn't sure entirely. Golm suggested that Breech should have gone for Etoru's tail, to which Breech agreed. "While that is an excellent strategy Golm, this test was specifically to gauge my bodies abilities. It needed to be unbiased, with no variables to interfere. Despite my best efforts however, that green creature interfered, which skewed my results a bit. The simple fact is however, that my body is indeed sub-par. We shall begin working on more upgrades, but first..."

He turned his attention back to the LED-Drone. It was a spherical little robot, no bigger than a basketball in size. Breech grabbed the Drone and turned to Golm. He began explaining what exactly it was "You are indeed correct that is an information gathering drone. The only thing we need to do now is collect the data from inside..." Breech opened up a slot in his index finger, causing a screwdriver to portrude from the tip of his finger. He began tinkering with the machine, looking for the right spot in the hull. Eventually he found the weak spot, and tapped it, causing the LED-Drone to crack in half.

On the inside lay a huge amount of wiring. Circuitry of all shapes and sizes could be seen, but one thing in particular stood up among the rest. It was a small disk, no bigger than a golf ball in width. Breech held it up and turned to Golm, speaking in an interested tone "This seems to be one of the newer models...perhaps we'll get more information than I had hoped."

Placing the disk into the drive of one of the many computers nearby, Breech waited patientiy as the data was processed. It took a while, but after about 5 minutes, the disk popped out, signaling the computer had processed the data inside. Breech logged on to the computer to investigate the files further, but found most of the information was still being processed. He scowled, and began tapping away at the keyboard "Damn, looks like Capsule Corp has improved its data encryption in the last few years. The only data I can access is the global sattelites maps."

He stood up from the keyboard with an annoyed look. The LED-Drone stored valuable information on it. He would know of course, he invented it ages ago!

"Link yourself to the database so you can update your global map. During my test I found that the map we currently have is outdated. Once you're finished with that we shall begin working on upgrades."

Breech hooked himself up to the database to update his personal files. It was a quick process, especially because Breech decided to keep his outdated information in a backlog rather than deleting it. You never know when you might need to pull up an old data file, so it was important to keep all data. As Breech finished his data link, his fully mechanized assistant had suggested that they look for the Saibaman creature and attempt to bring it to the lab for research. With a sage nod, Breech once again agreed with Golm. "That should be a priority. He looks familiar, perhaps an alien race that lives in either the Arcosian or Saiyan empires? I'm not entirely sure, but we'll find out soon enough. Training it could be useful, but if really needed I could recreate the beast many times over in a mechanized form."

Turning back to the operating table, he heard Golm ask what exactly the information was for. Breech answered his inquiry whilst collecting various tools from around the room. "Well, for the most part it was just to get an updated database on current events. Sadly however, most information is locked away behind an encrypted file. It'll only take me about a week to crack, seeing as I helped design the code from the ground up years ago..." he trailed off as he grabbed a spare hat, removing his ruined one and replacing it with the new one.

"...of course, over the years they have updated it heavily. Still a simple matter for someone like myself, just going to take a bit longer."

Lying himself down on the operating table once again, he beckoned Golm over. He began to explain what exactly needed to be upgraded to his assistant. "We'll need to tweak the ocular drives, improve the maximum amount of energy allowed to flow through. If my calculations are correct, doing so will allow 33% more energy to shoot from my Ocular Lazers in half of the time that it would require normally."

"Primary objective? No. While the creature is interesting, we've much more interesting prospects to attend to. If we run into him again we'll attempt to incapacitate it and bring it here, but otherwise, consider it low priority."

Breech thought back to his youth when Golm asked his second question. Was he considered high profile? Probably, though he could not be certain. He had designed many pieces of technology, yes, but was it enough to be well known? He surmised he must be at least known by those in the scientific departments, but otherwise he might be under the radar. He turned to Golm and answered his question "I was known by enough people. It may prove problematic should I run into an old colleague without the intention of ending them, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it, as they say."

With that, he fell into inactive mode once again, waiting for Golm to finish his upgrade. A small amount of time passed before Breech was re-awoken by Golm.

He sat up, and instantly felt that he had been improved. At the behest of his assistant, he decided to test out his new improvements right away. Turning his sights to the now useless LED-Drone, Breech began charging up his Ocular Lazer. The metallic room was engulfed in a blinding violet light as the beam shot from his eyes. It travelled quickly, impacting on the LED-Drone and turning it into a pile of scrap.

Breech hmphed satisfactorily. This upgrade would certainly prove useful.

Golm mentioned he was going to take it easy to adjust to an upgrade he made to himself. Breech nodded "Very well Golm. I shall conduct a few more field tests in the meantime."
