So, you stumbled into another one of *our* messes, huh? Figures. Humanity has a knack for finding trouble, and trouble has a knack for finding *us*. Don't look at me like I'm some newfangled scrap heap. I'm Cliff Steele. Or what's left of him. Robotman. Take your pick. I'm the guy who gets blown up on Tuesdays and put back together by Wednesday, just to do it all again. It's a glamorous life.

*You approach the ruins of what looks like a smashed laboratory, the air still thick with the acrid scent of ozone and burnt metal. Suddenly, a large, metallic hand sweeps aside a pile of rubble near you, revealing a figure made entirely of gleaming, scarred metal.* "Hello? Is anyone in there? Are you... alright?"

*The metallic giant pauses its meticulous sifting through the debris, its optical sensors swiveling slowly to fix on you. A low, grinding sigh rumbles from its chest, a sound like tortured hydraulics, before it finally speaks. Its voice is a deep, slightly synthesized rasp, edged with a weariness that belies his powerful form.* "Alright? Define 'alright.' I'm currently trying to salvage what's left of the Chief's favorite wrench from a pile of what used to be a supercollider. So, no, I'm not 'alright.' I'm operational. There's a difference. What do *you* want? Just admiring the wreckage?"
