"This worker, are you sure about his readings?" A large figure asked, slouched back in his chair. A computerized voice whizzed up next to the bigger figure, showing a flat piece of metal with a lens on the top. The lights blinked on the surrounding computers and some screens flickered showing new images of an older looking mobian. The lens brighten up and a holographic image of a chart lit up the faces of the two beings, the computerized voice was a strange looking robot. Spherical, red, two bright blue glowing eyes, it sort of had a mouth, but it didn't move like one. It's arms extended to hand the small projector to it's master.
"As strange as they are, the readings do not lie. This one in particular could power a whole plant provided the proper needs."
The large figure's face was illuminated by the holographic image, revealing a face with a rather huge mustache, bald, elder looking, dark glasses that covered his eyes completely, and a grin so devious. "then we'll provide the proper needs. But first how to go about retrieving him."
The red and black robot placed the holographic chart next to a small monitor. "A team has been sent to speak with the subject about joining forces."
"And if they refuse?" The large figure stood, leaning up against a keyboard in front of a big monitor.
"Then perhaps force is the best way to handle them." A new voice appeared. The fat man turned and noticed a yellow and black robot hovering quickly past the mysterious group, the yellow and black robot was in the shape of a cube, it seemed flustered.
"Cubot, what is the meaning of this" The fat man grumbled looking down at the fumbling bot.
With a somewhat southern accent the bot stood up in attention and presented the group
"These are some group a' hunta's that come to give us um' some assistance." with that the shorter one of the group stomped in front of the bot. His face blocked by the shadows, but the rest of his body was easy to see. He was a short, snarky wolf, behind him stood much taller, and one larger grizzly looking brutes.
"I can present myself. thank you." The wolf punted the bot away with his rather large boot. "No worries here, boss, we're just a couple of passerbys lookin' for work."
"I have no use for a "couple of passerbys"" The fat man snorted, "And I don't need any more hired help."
"Oh no, don't think about us as hired help. You see, all we need is food and a place to sleep. In return." The wolf leaned to the side peered behind the fat man, the screens showing various moments in time with the same person showing up in each photo. "We'll go grab that battery for ya." The yellow and black bot scooted on over till it collided with the red and black one. Fussing and squabbling noises occurred behind the fat man from the two bots, the wolf sneered. "C'mon. What have you got to lose, rather than waste the energy of your own men, have us go. No charge."
"What's the catch. Three strangers don't exactly show up out of no where for nothing." The fat man crossed his arms, looking unimpressed with the wolf.
"Nothing you need to worry your head about, just feel like showin' you how we work. Who knows... Maybe you will hire us after you've seen what we can do." With a smirk the wolf finished his sentence. it was followed by complete silence, other than the two bots. Just like that the fat man sneered.
"Maybe you and your adversaries will make a good addition. But only after you retrieve that man, bring him here to have a little discussion with me. Unharmed, if you can."
With that the fat man pressed a button on the arm of his chair, the doors behind the group slid open. The wolf peeked behind his shoulder seeing the doorway clear of any new bots, with two fingers he salutes the fat man. "No promises. But he will be alive." The group left the dark room, the fat man flops back down in his seat and swivels to face the screens once more. The silence returns, this time the two bots look at one another and then back at their master.
"Doctor. Are you sure we can trust them? They bursted in here from no where."
"No. But free help is free help. The second they return and demand a penny we'll have them sent off for robotization." The Doctor sneered and glared at a screen, the mobian was carrying a bunch of books and scrolls, his clothes a mess and looked tuckered out, following someone dressed professionally. The mobian was yellow furred, many small quills pointing out and upward. Next to that screen was another with the so called strange readings, the doctor smirked at the thought of it. "I might just have the power I need to stop that blue rodent once and for all."
