Mega Man X, Zero, Dr. Light, Dr. Cain, Alia, Douglas, and Sigma do not
belong to me. They are copyrights of Capcom. However, Apex, Gwen, and any
Maverics or other minor characters I use are my own concepts. Er.... yeah.
Now, to explain some of my methods, when you see a line of these: ~, it
denotes me going in and out of character. There's one just after this OOC
bit here, showing I'm going back in. These: * indicate a break in the
scene, meaning we'll be going some place/time different than the one in the
last scene. As for the rest, quotation marks are spoken dialogue, italics
are thought, and bold are computer voices. I think that's pretty clear,
don't you?

My second attempt has failed. Something is still wrong with the design. I can't figure it out. Its processing unit seems to be operating too slowly. It can hardly move, and doesn't even seem able to make even minor decisions. I suppose I'll just have to try again with a different design. Maybe if I...

I'm closer this time, but still not close enough. It (or should I say "he") can walk, talk, and make decisions, but just doesn't seem quite as fast as I was hoping. I'm not certain how he would handle some of the more complicated tasks. He can't even manage to go through the process of changing out his normal hand for the X-Buster. For everything within human reach, he seems quite capable, but the things that would require a computer to do escape him. In any case, I've given him the code name "Artificial Intelligence Prototype, Experiment 'X', Attempt 3" or "A.I.P.E.X3" for short. Usually, I just call him "Apex." I feel like I'm closer now. Using Apex as a reference point, I may just be able to get it with the next try.
T. Light
Despite the fact that he isn't quite what I imagined, I do like Apex. It's intriguing. He has quite a personality all his own. We have gotten into many arguments (some of which he has actually won), and he is quite intelligent. Even funny. Or perfectly infuriating if he chooses to be. While his main processing unit can't quite operate at the speed to use more complicated weaponry like the X-Buster, he has proved to be adept at other tasks, and is quite good with his hands. It was because of this that I got an idea. If I have any time between working on X prototype #4, I think I'll see how Apex does with some short range battle programs. I do hope he won't have to use them, though. I would like it if my creations could lead a simple, peaceful life, unlike Megaman. I do feel sorry for him.
T. Light
I think I've finally got it. My new "Mega Man X" has finally reached the capabilities I was hoping. I've used Apex's design for X's look so they are identical, but I've used the blue shell I had been planning, while Apex is purple. Unfortunately, it will take many years to test his reliability, and I have grown old. I'm afraid I shall not live long enough to supervise the testing myself. I will just have to seal him in a capsule and hope for the best. I am not quite sure what I will do with Apex. Despite the fact that he is a failed prototype, I have grown fond of him. Maybe I'll seal him as well... There is an empty capsule in the next room...

That's just the prologue. More to come just as soon as I find the time to type it up.
