COMPLETE* Chapter 7b: He is the Cogman

Scene 1: Goo Goo Cachoo     SM: Fantastic. Oh, I should warn you, I've heard he's... extra. Be careful not to fuck this up, okay? Meet him at the station at Residential Zone North.   Scene 2: We are the Cogmen   After arriving in Residential Zone North and locating the new station, Cogman finally arrives. As he pulls into the station, his train decouples and the individual cars transform into cargo drones that begin to unpack the other cars.   Cogman: So this is Mission City? Yes, it'll work perfectly. E 1 through 10, start laboratory assembly in... that quadrant, marking now. E 11 through 15, establish a safe perimeter for construction. And you--- (he finally looks at the party)-- you are?   C: Oh ho ho! Then it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Cogman, but you probably figured that out. Such a fantastical dome you've got here-- what are you running, double-feedback projections? Something this large must eat up a ton of power. But I digress. I've been granted a plot of land for my laboratory, right over there, which should be finished in a few minutes. Now, you haven't seen Sentinel Minor, have you? I was told he would be meeting me here for a debriefing on the... phantom pains you've been having.   C: Ah, then no worries! But without him, I'll be too busy to make an important delivery. Part of my contract involved this special commissioned piece for the Optimus Prime Cultural Enrichment Center. I don't suppose you could deliver it for me, while I oversee construction?   C: Splendid! You know, I have the feeling we'll get along just swimmingly. Anyhow, just take that crate to the museum, and the boot process should begin right away. I've just transferred a copy of all the data-- ah, you'll see. Well, off you go then!   Scene 3: Longroof returns On their way to Residential Zone West, the group will be ambushed by Longroof.   LR: There you are. I hope you loose ends don't mind being tied up.   Longroof will attack, and will attempt to escape again if heavily damaged. However, this time, he can be killed.   Scene 4: A Box of Pearls   The heavy crate is taken to the Optimus Prime Cultural Enrichment Center. Once inside, it begins startup procedures.   Crate: System check- Uplink OK. Pseudoservos OK. Motor Response OK. Neural Network: Nominal. Reactor: OK. Synthoid Registry: OK. Setup complete. Enjoy your new Cogman Works Synthoid.   The crate opens to reveal Simulation Maxima.   Maxima: Oh... I'm sorry, this is embarrassing, but... I've never been an actual thing before. It's similar to the simulations, but... sharper. And here you all are! I guess we've come full circle, haven't we. This new Synthoid body is for me to use as docent of this museum! Now I can personally guide guests through the exhibits! Would you like a museum tour? I'm sure it'd be great fun!
