The trio also learns that humanity extinguished themselves after a chemical warfare between its four remaining cities (Municipa, Civitas, Urbani and Metropol), leaving only machines behind. In the Underworks, the trio reactivates Factor, disabled on MetroMind's orders, and Horatio recovers the Gospel of Man confiscated from him. Memorious took sides with MetroMind with the removal of Steeple for calculating the data regarding humans felt irrelevant to city administration. Uncovering and accessing a digital ghost of Memorious (the city's historical archives AI), Horatio discovers that MetroMind had erased all data regarding the human race that once lived in Metropol and formed a division of the city's Council of Robots, with her and Factor (the city's fabrication AI) in one side and Arbiter and Steeple (Metropol religious leader) on the other.

She informs Horatio that, in order to confront MetroMind, they must acquire fragments of the access code to MetroTower, which was exclusive to the ruling AIs. S.C.R.A.P.E.R also tries capturing Horatio and Crispin, but Horatio collapses the courtroom entrance atop S.C.R.A.P.E.R, after recovering memories from the carcass of Charity, Clarity's sister. The memories reveal evidence that MetroMind used Charity to be rid of Arbiter – under the pretense of "preventing a civil war" – and take over Metropol through a silent coup. Witnessing this, Clarity determines MetroMind has lost all legal protection and joins Horatio and Crispin's quest for the power core. Horatio attempts to reclaim the power core legally by reopening Metropol's courtroom with the aid of Clarity Arbiterbuilt, the aid to Metropol's Arbiter (the city's judicial AI), but Horatio discovers the Arbiter itself had its memory banks wiped. Meeting some of Metropol's citizenry, Horatio learns the stealing robot is MetroMind's right hand henchman called S.C.R.A.P.E.R (Subway Construction, Repair and Precision Excavation Robot), and the power core is in her possession in MetroTower, a giant power station.

Horatio, at entry, is stripped of a megacycle (CPU power cycle) and the 'Gospel of Man', deemed a subversive literature that is tossed into the city's underground, the Underworks. Horatio and Crispin attempt to use the bomb's energy core to power U.N.N.I.I.C back up, but it proves fruitless.Īttempting to chase the stealing robot, Horatio and Crispin are ultimately led to Metropol, that is revealed as a dilapidated metropolis filled with robots governed in an iron hand by MetroMind, the city's AI previously in charge of subways and transit. They also come across and pass through the tests of faith of a sentry drone Ever-Faithful Leobuilt, who tests Horatio's knowledge of the 'Gospel of Man' (A robotic interpretation of the Holy Bible but instead of a metaphysical one, the human race are the creator gods in the robots version), allowing him to grab a bomb that the drone revered as a shrine. Navigating the wasteland close to U.N.N.I.I.C, Horatio and Crispin come across and reactivate a buried, gigantic robotic war machine named Goliath, who tells Horatio his true name is Horus, claiming it was an ancient enemy of his, and thus won't surrender its power core.

Crispin suggests they head to the legendary city of Metropol, a "city of glass and eternal light", for a new core, but Horatio remains adamant in either reclaiming the stolen core or finding a new one in the wasteland, totally preferring to stay away from Metropol for his pre-programmed hatred of the city, that he can't discern why.
Ancient allures primordia android#
In a post-apocalyptic world, android Horatio Nullbuilt (Logan Cunningham) and his floating robot companion Crispin (Abe Goldfarb) inhabit and attempt to rebuild U.N.N.I.I.C, a derelict airship stranded in a vast desert. One night, a heavy, floating, square-like robot invades the airship, incapacitates Horatio with its laser and steals the airship's power core.
