Too many i's dotted and t's crossed.* *Real information, real sources. Rarely have things resolved in such a tidy way. Too polished.* *Be real with me Doc, is this your latest tactic? Just admit it.* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*I am flattered you consider me cunning enough to fabricate such an elaborate hoax, but I should just flip the question your way.* *After all, your faction is the one known for being sly and cunning.* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*Believe me, if I could have concocted a stunt like this, I would have done so ages ago.* *You've heard the chatter, of great disturbances in space and time.* *Rumblings along those lines have been popping up in my research for a while now.* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*Yes, yes, the question about the anomalies and unexplained forces are not new to me either.* *It's quite worrisome, to be honest.* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*So what's the verdict then?* *Do you feel comfortable confirming with relative certainty that the other side is real?* *Kodas are real?* *Everything we theorized for so long is true?* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*Well, I see no other way to explain what's going on.* *This is a momentous day, the dawn of a new era.* *The Other Side is real!* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*To think, we have a chance to explore it all, and Kodas.* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*I'd always had a suspicion they were real.* *In fact, I feel like I saw one once eons ago.* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*Yes, but they don't appear the way I'd imagined.* *Certainly not like what Azul appears to be.* *And to think Azul is a Mega Koda, and their sibling as well.* *If what we had previously theorized is true...* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*...then a Koda that powerful in the wrong hands could be catastrophic, and now the Dark Force has six Mega mutants as well.* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*Yes, it is time for action.* *We must immediately rethink our priorities, put aside our differences for now.* *To continue this feud between us would be a massive waste of time and resources.* *The very fabric of space time is at stake.* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*These revelations do change everything, I concur.* *Let us enact a temporary truce, pool our resources for our shared goals.* *I think we both agree this won't be pleasant, but certainly more pleasant than any alternative we envision.* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*Let's put our differences aside, at least for now, for the greater good of apekind.* *It is something we've always managed to agree on, whether you believe that or not.* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*You have had a funny way of showing it, Avila.* *Look at where your recklessness has gotten us.* *If only you had been more careful, not so focused on the glittering golden promise of the power of Mega mutation.* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*You don't have the understanding to speak to me so harshly.* *I can't be surprised at your approach: dismissive, egotistical, it's your brand.* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*This could have all been avoided.* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*Just let it go* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*All right... There might be one hope.* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*And what would that be?* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*Does the name The Benefactor mean anything to you.* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*I've heard whispers and rumors of an anonymous donor using that moniker.* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*Yes, there is much to discuss there.* *They have provided highly advanced technologies and much needed funding to the lab from the very beginning.* *With their help, we have established a secret initiative, some called Project M.* *The generous funding and tools have enabled us to harness Mega Serum as a powerful and efficient fuel source for a new class of battle robot.* *We call them Sentinels and they might be what we need to find the Megas and put up a fight against this unknown Dark Force.* *We used everything we have received from The Benefactor, along with technology derived from Mega Robot and Mega Death Bot to develop a mechanism that allows our Sentinels to process Mega Serum.* *Not only to use it as fuel, but also absorb some Mega abilities from it, similar to our own.* *Of course, they are not as powerful as we are, but they could come close.* *They are by far the most advanced piece of technology I have ever worked on.* *The drawback is we have only been able to activate them for very short periods of time.* *As soon as they are activated, sentinels begin exhibiting signs of great power, but their core is unable to encompass the energy generated by one of these.* *A fuel efficient Mega Serum capsule.* *Simply put, they combust.* *Cry as we might, we end up with a melting heap of metal with each attempt.* *If we could somehow stabilize the energy within the capsules so they don't overheat the core, well, this would certainly increase our chances of finding the Megas and bringing them back home.* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*So you do understand the power of Mega Mutation.* *You're not against it, you just want to keep it all for yourself.* *Typical Doc.* *For all apekind indeed.* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*For myself?* *Avila, of course I understand the power of Mega Mutation.* *It is only because of this that I am so careful and reluctant to explore it.* *Mega mutation changes us Avila, not only physically, but our very mind.* *It is a power too strong for any ape.* *You can't tell me you don't feel it: the aggression, the paranoia.* *I struggle against it every single day. I struggle to find myself in this Mega Radioactive.* *All power comes with a price, and I knew it would be necessary to use these powers for good.* *So I built this secret program to transfer Mega abilities not to apes, but to robots designed to carry the load of that power without side effects.* *Still, I failed.* *We need the Sentinels immediately, just as I feared.* *But no matter what I try, I cannot make them work.* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*This capsule is a marvelous piece of technology, indeed.* *What if we had a substance, thousands of times stronger than virtually any other material found in nature?* *A metal able to withstand extreme heat and pressure, yet still conduct power in a stable and safe manner.* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*Yes. If only such a material could exist.* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*Oh, but it does.* *And in fact, you are looking right at it...Megagold.* *The gold produced by my mutation is the most extraordinary substance I have ever encountered.* *I have studied it intensely, if my findings are correct, this is exactly what you need.* *Stand back.* *Watch as I coat the Mega Serum capsule with a thin layer of Megagold.* *There, give that a try to see if it makes a difference.* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*Okay, let's give this a go.* *Dr.Abbott Gibbons, lab note 1157, Sentinel Power Up attempt 214.* *Initializing Sentinel Systems now.* *Oh my God.* *It worked!* *The first Sentinel is online and energy readings are stable.* *Avila, you did it!* **Mega Gold**\ \&#xNAN;*What can I say? I'm not all bad, am I Doc?* **Doc Gibbons**\ \&#xNAN;*We will talk more later on, but I must initiate mass production of the Sentinel program immediately.* *There is no time to waste, we must create a Mega Force of thousands of Sentinels to find the Megas and neutralize this threat before it destroys everything we hold dear.* *And everyone else listening out there, we need your help.* *Join the Mega Force.* *Help us create as many Sentinels as possible and let's go find the Megas before it's too late*.
