07 Assembly Line Part One
*At then OCP tower, the chairman finished watching the latest Media Break news cast before he turns to his fellow board members. He is outraged at the outcome of the report*
Chairman:
Is this right? Is Stark Concepts really taking over the police force?
Board member:
It appears so sir. Stark clearly believes that OCP can no longer handle the Delta City police department so he's called in this division of S.H.I.E.L.D Agents to take over and clear up the mess.
Chairman:
This is exactly what I feared. The timing happens to be bad too. *gets up and parades the room.* OCP has just entered the arms race with Military contractors against Nixcon. What we are technically doing is illegal and if These S.H.I.E.L.D agents mosey on in and discover what it is we are doing, they could expose us to the city and we'd lose their trust indefinitely. That could mean the end for this company. Now gentlemen I don't need to ask what our options are because as I far as I'm concerned. There is only one. Trojan.
Board member:
Sir with all due respect, Trojan has just this minute passed the design phase. Testing hasn't even begun yet.
Chairman:
Then make it happen. In fact, why not change the premise of the product. Lets just say that Trojan was to become the centre of an advanced network of security droids.
Board member #2:
Sir?
Chairman:
Look if Stark Concepts think that they can gain the public trust with their fancy dressed agents then we need to best them at it. Instead of using humans we use friendly, around the clock enforcement droids that are cheap to make but are twice as effective. Droids that can police the streets with Trojan controlling them as a central self thinking computer. OCP would rarely have to be involved. We would be unstoppable. Question is, how much will it cost?
Board member:
Actually it would work out cheaper than what we would have paid for Trojan's intended use. We have metal materials in stock already like, Titanium, Steel, Iron so it would save us money.
Chairman:
Good. The let's go out there and make it happen. *displays an evil expression.*

*Meanwhile at the former Metro West police station now known as Stark Concepts, Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff (aka. Black Widow) enter the main labs where Murphy sits on recharge.*
Tony:
All good, Murph? How are you feeling?
Robocop:
I feel...great. Thank you for asking.
Tony:
Good, now I want to introduce you to someone. He's a good friend of mine and he's going to be taking care of the place while I'm back on the helicarrier. I would love to have stayed but unfortunately I'm still one of The Avengers so my services are needed elsewhere.
*A man steps forward in a silver sharp suit*
Tony:
I'd like you to meet, Cody Rhodes. He is an ex soldier and Sargent. He will be taking over from me.
Robocop:
Mister...Rhodes?
Cody:
Nice to meet you Murphy. I've read your file. You have quite the history with this place. It's good to see you too Natasha.
Natasha:
Yeah...*glares at him* Likewise.
Tony:
Now Natasha, play nice. That was a long time ago okay? He's here to make sure you all do your jobs without problems.
Natasha:
Okay but if he hits on me like that again, I will break his neck!
Cody:
Seriously, you still on about that? That was like...7 years ago or something?
Natasha:
A Girl never forgets. However we work together now so let's just get one thing straight. If we become friends again, you better keep your hands to yourself otherwise I'll get Murphy here to make you eat that tie of yours.
Cody:
*chuckling* Alright you got yourself a deal.
Tony:
Alright well I got to go. *Turns to leave* Good luck and be careful alright? I'll be back before you know it.
Robocop:
Amusing.
Natasha:
Do you even have a sense of humour, Murphy?
Robocop:
Sometimes.
*Suddenly an Injured agent comes bursting in the building and staggers towards the lab. Robo monitors his voice stress and body levels*
Agent:
Come quick! we were on patrol at the boarder to Old Detroit when we were...attacked!
Cody:
What hit you?
Agent:
A missile of some sorts but we couldn't get a clear site on the attacker!
Robocop:
Where was the attack? What...grid reference was it?
Agent:
*Thinks* erhh...Area G-55. Up in the North east corner.
Robocop:
That is Reaper territory. *Gets up and walks towards the door, picking up his helmet* We...better go.
Natasha:
*Loading up her pistols and changes into her suit* Right behind you.
****
*A short while later, they arrive at the area in Robo's modified cruiser. However they were un-prepared for the blood bath that they had driven into.*
Black Widow:
Oh my god!
Robocop:
It happens...a lot. The Reapers are a malicious group who thrive on violence.
Black Widow:
So violence is like a drug to them?
Robocop:
Yes. It looks like...none of them survived this.
*Suddenly, they are surrounded as Reapers appear from all directions. Robocop draws his machine pistol and opens fire while Widow takes cover amongst some wrecked cars. The Reapers exhaled loud screams and whines as bullets hit them, knocking them down. As the Reaper numbers begin to deplete, Widow emerges from cover and picks up a grenade launcher from one of the bodies. She aims it and fires at an abandoned house, bringing it down in the process. The debris provides cover until...*
Black Widow:
What's that noise?
Robocop:
I detect something in the area with us. It is not a Reaper.
*Suddenly, an enforcement droid cuts through the debris and marches itself towards the two S.H.I.E.L.D agents before scanning them.*
Black Widow:
What the hell is that thing?
OCP Enforcement Droid:
Scanning...Targets...Target identified...S.H.I.E.L.D Agents!
Robocop:
It's...trouble.
