On this day of the 37th logbook entry, we fought in a (still) less destroyed part of the city. Nevertheless, the street was full of rubble. Remains of fallen soldiers everywhere and a lot of fire in the background.

We once again had an almost new weapon at our disposal, the EPD tank. This means something like 'electronic parasite disabling tank'. It is a vehicle that, like the anti-parasite gun, shoots beams that subdue the pests. Greenish-blue, very effective rays. It was invented by our heroes in white, the robotic scientists. Together with all the non-combatants among us, they now form their own association, the Science Team.

One such tank rolled up against a Skibidi Mutant, operated by our hero from the last entry and accompanied by a small group of other robots. But the mutant didn't come alone either: two large infected Speakermen appeared with it. When they were freed, the mutant immediately attacked one of them. A loud, distorted sound was heard. Admittedly, the very first blow had been struck by one of the freed. But that didn't change the fact that a fight broke out. Said Speakerman was pinned against the wall, but the other came to his rescue by jabbing some pointy projectile right into the toilet mutant's circuitry. I didn't see exactly what it was. Just that sparks were jumping out of the electronics.
Our white buddy disarmed his tank again and turned off the cannon so that the blue light went out. Well done.

Today, like yesterday, I noticed a strange blue-violet radiation, am I imagining it? I can't help feeling slightly uneasy. I feel as if someone is watching me wherever I go. The war is getting me down, that must be it.

The EPD tank was also used here: We next wanted to bring back to our army the Speaker Titan, who had involuntarily crossed over to the enemy side and was firing at our units from a skyscraper when we arrived at the current battlefield. Air superiority was already in the hands of the foe. A group of larger robots went ahead to keep the toilet force at a distance. A Cameraman gave the signal to fire, just at that moment the G-Man intercepted the beam and destroyed the tank with his yellow lasers. R.I.P. to the driver and possibly the crew, if there was one.

That damn Toilet Boss always turns up when we least need and expect him!
These creepy spiderlike Skibidis also provided us with highly unwelcome company...

How do you do? It's my turn to be the next chronicler; Cameraman_561. The previous colleague was struck down by our nemesis along with other abominations. It's sad, he almost managed to escape...

Rest in pieces, Cameraman_077..

This day is a milestone, today the 3rd type of robot in our alliance made its debut: The TV Men! They will support us in the fight from now on. But before I describe them, and with them the experiences of the war day, I'll mention some other interesting revelations from the morning.

We underwent a military exercise according to regulations and also demonstrated our careful handling of the weapons provided and/or authorized by the government. The people informed us in advance that we would be filmed and that the procedure would be broadcast in the media. We all thought they had more camera robots at here, perhaps a new kind. There was talk of that. Shortly afterwards, we saw human men mounting video cameras on racks. They also had microphones with them. It will certainly seem strange to the humans reading this, but we machines didn't know that there were human cameramen until today. Another lesson learned.

So the military exercises were carried out, we showed the human soldiers what they wanted to see and gave the requested interviews, albeit in writing. They were probably newcomers, at least when it came to dealing with us; they could have safely left the microphones in the studio, because we are obviously not able to speak. But it was still nice.
In the afternoon we had to fight again, this time with wrecked cars as cover. I spotted one of us on the side of the road, lying on the ground, kicking and struggling against a particularly intrusive Skibidi Toilet. Two other opponents held a Cameraman down with headbutts, then a third arrived with a jetpack and bit his head off. I held my own against two more Skibidis, then the jetpack guy came at me. But he stopped in mid-attack and looked fearfully over to the street - to our new ally, the TV Man.

He calmly walks up, then stops, points his screen at the enemies and creates a bluish-purple radiation that paralyzes the attackers. Now that the opponents were standing frozen in shock, they could be rinsed off almost without difficulty. They now had a cover over their toilet rinse to obstruct the procedure.
At that moment, the very first spoken voice line of a Hardware Head ever was heard: "Show must continue." I gave my thumbs up, the TV Man smiled at me by showing an emoticon on his screen. How cute! A winking smiley.

And with that, I noticed that the TV People can actually talk; namely backwards and in a very low voice.

A short description:
The TV Man is a tall, mysterious robot with a tube TV for a head. He walks in all black and wears a button-up trench coat, under which you can see a purple tie if you look closely. He measures about 2.20m from head to toe. TV People are quiet and intelligent, even noble, which makes them appear slightly elitist. It seems to me that these elegant agents never take a step too far or do anything rash. Their radiation is an extremely effective weapon, and I'm convinced that they will soon surprise us with cool and powerful abilities.

They are actually just looking forward to fight alongside us. We, in turn, are happy to have them as new friends and allies. I now know what has made me and many other Cameramen so crazy in the last few days, and I'm almost ashamed to have felt a certain kind of aversion to it. This static flickering is somehow relaxing tho.

Day 40

Another big day of battle. The humans handed out plungers to us; we were supposed to try and finish off the Skibidis with them. I was very skeptical about this plan, but resistance would be quite useless as a machine in this regards. So I took the utensil and approached the enemy. 'Do it for your fallen comrades', I said to myself. The street really was full of dead robots. The houses were burning and the entire area, including the airspace, was infested with enemies.

My new friend, a TV Man, was standing next to me. He gestured to me to stop, "Do what you're told." Then I noticed a bright glow in an alley that stood out brightly against the night sky. It was a 10m tall TV Man whose "head" was mounted on a silver, fork-shaped slide. From his back (or possibly a mechanical 'backpack' attached to it) came four more monitors attached to tentacle-like strands, so that he reminded me of Slenderman. Looked pretty cool; to his left walked a third robot of this new variety. He gave me a protective lens, which I put on over my own as protection from the glaring bright light of the large TV Man, who carried out the attack on a signal from his colleague. Without this lens, I probably wouldn't have survived it. The bright light destroyed almost the entire opposing force; after this brilliant victory in the truest sense of the word, the comrade retracted his additional TV and the one who had offered me the lens smiled at me in the manner of the TV People.

The big TV Man made a mechanical whirring noise during his attack, which was probably caused by the high voltage.
Otherwise, it is difficult to describe the sounds of the TV People, you have to hear them for yourself. The closest you could get is to compare them to radio silence. This robots have a unique ambience that no other machine can create.

Now there are 3 factions in our alliance and each has its own color and unofficial flag: red for us Camera People, blue for the Speakermen and now purple for the TV People.
According to our builders, the robot types are now complete. The plan is for each department to take turns on Fridays to carry out their error analysis.
I also can't wait to see what kind of colossus the new allies will introduce...

Day 41

Another fight in a (still) intact neighborhood. A large detachment of Skibidis was chasing us on a street next to the service yard of a large company; I was afraid it might be a toilet base they were driving us towards. But it was all safe, we were supposed to be the ones to lure them into an ambush. My new ally, again, was standing beside me. "Protection", he murmured, as we both sauntered along the street. With that, he asked me to pull up the lens again.

Another little detail I noticed in passing was a moving bathtub with three Skibidi-Heads in it.

Further up the report says something about an ambush, and that's the really important thing. A cloud of black smoke was brewing behind a few skyscrapers, from which a mechanical giant manifested itself: the Titan TV Man! He completes the titan's trio, now each of the robot types has its own.

He may be around 40m tall and has a glowing purple energy core embedded in his chest, extendable claws mounted on his shoulders, additional hooks on his arms and a large engine on his back. The giant held on to the houses, stood up and roared in the manner of the TV Men so that it could be heard throughout the city: "All toilets will die!"

He immediately made good on his announcement by shining a bright red light on the troupe that could be seen from afar. He played the infamous, extremely loud THX sound, which caused all opponents in the area of the attack to flush themselves by stretching their necks and pulling their own flush with their teeth. Flying enemies crashed and exploded.
Then the new Titan reared up to full size, one could hear the massive machinery working inside. Finally, a cute smiley face appeared on the huge screen; the day was saved.

Addendum: I found out that all TV robots can teleport, which always produces this black smoke. What a powerful ability!
