Wearing a dark cloak and black dragon mask, the towering Namekian Warlord walked the central city streets, drawing more attention to the suspicious outfit than he wanted. The masked mutant stopped, lifting a tablet to his face to try and decipher the map displayed on it.

A message appeared on the tablet, stating that he had arrived and pulling up an HD picture of the front of the building. Marimba looked up, seeing the tower that he was to enter, and proceeded through the glass doors, ducking under the frame to avoid hitting his head as the mutant entered.

All kinds of shelves and screens advertising various products and services decorated the area, but the Daimao paid little attention to them. The Namek walked up to the blonde bun-haired receptionist lady, cutting in line in front of the patron, who promptly gave up their place and moved a distance away, thoroughly intimidated by the costumed giant. The receptionist said nothing about it, turning to greet the mysterious alien.

"Oh-hello. How may I help you today?"

"I have a four-o-clock appointment with Nashi Karma."

"Let him know that "Drum" is here."

After a few minutes of the receptionist typing on her terminal, a card is printed from the computer and handed to the Mazoku.

"Use that to take the elevator to floor 10, then take a right turn and go down the hall. You're looking for room 50."

Marimba followed the instructions, soon finding himself entering room number 50.

"Greetings from the second seat, Mr. Karma."

The Daimao removed his mask, latching it to a fixture on his belt.

"As I alluded to in my message. The Arcose Empire has a new experimental super weapon."

Lord Marimba shoots Nashi a serious look, his voice equally solemn.

"And It's Nanotech; I'm almost certain of it."

It alone has foiled multiple raiding parties that would have otherwise succeeded, and quite frankly, it's a thorn in my side in an era where I have too much to worry about already."

"A new class of war Android known as a Sentinel."

"I may be able to have such a piece delivered to you.

The Namekian examines Nashi's expression, attempting to gauge his interest in the topic.

"Shall I go on?"

The new affiliation with the ominous organization known as Orchestra had led Nashi to meet many interesting and varied individuals. From a saiyajin hosting a shadowy paradise, to a literal demon from Hell, to a member of the gods of creation, the shinjin. Well, it was not exactly a one to one with any of them, except for Violin and the shadowy Maestro. He was mostly debriefed on the alias and general file of each of his new coworkers. After all, cooperation necessitated information first. It was actually comical to the tsufurujin every single one of them had a musical instrument as their "alias". Perhaps the Maestro was a fan of classical music after all.

Still, there was a specific man who his leader made sure the Karma had to meet in person. The namekuseijin known as Drum. Apparently he had business to attend to in which the genius's expertise could prove quite useful. Wishing not waste any time, the Karma Corp. CEO provided his contact information to the Maestro, as well as the address for the main HQ of his corporation. Not long after that, the namekuseijin called Nashi and they managed to arrange a formal meeting in his personal office on the 10th floor.

The next day, at around 4pm, the tsufurujin was sitting on his great marble desk, working on his computer, when he received a call on the interphone from the lobby. He took a couple of seconds to pick it up, preferring to continue working on the 3D project of an engine, but eventually the buzzing got annoying enough for him to relent.

"What is it? I'm currently busy."

"Sorry, sir. Your appointment for 4pm, Mr. Drum, has arrived. He is headed to your office as we speak."

The entrepreneur's mood shifted as if a light bulb had turned on in his head.

"Oh, is that right? Very well, thank you for the warning."

Nashi hung up the phone and resumed his work on the project. Only a few minutes later, the hulking shrouded namekuseijin passed through the great double doors of the white office, with a giant glass wall on the other end. The Karma leaned on his leather chair and crossed his fingers as the great alien greeted him.

"Mr. Drum, isn't it? It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. What can I do for you today?"

Much like he had mentioned in passing in their call, he brought up a super weapon based on nanotechnology being developed by the Arcosujin Empire. From what he had heard, it was a new war android prototype called Sentinel, which obviously caused some level of concern on the Orchestra member, though the reasons as to why were still a mystery to Nashi. What was curious was his assertion that he could get a piece of that project back to the tsufurujin, and asked if he should continue.

Needless to say, Piano's interest peaked at the mention of his own field of work.

"Nanotech, you say?" - he scratched his chin while smirking, then stood up and began to walk around the room. - "If the Arcosujin Empire really is investing on that kind of weaponry, it means they are getting ready for something big. After all, nanotech developments are quite expensive even when you know what you're doing."

With a simple press of the pad on his left arm, the CEO's other upper limb was completely covered in a silver metal layer of armor. A demonstration of the capabilities of nanomachines.

"If you wish to look into this field of research, then you came looking for the right person. Yes, I would love to get my hands on one of those Sentinels and reverse engineer it, for sure. However, since we're colleagues, I would like to know why the interest in what the lizards are doing? Thinking of messing with them in the future?"

However, since we're colleagues, I would like to know why the interest in what the lizards are doing? Thinking of messing with them in the future?"

"Indeed, I am."

"You know how Arcosian Lords are."

"The Empire loves to stick its fingers into everything of worth and oversteps its bounds of authority as a regular exercise."

"Anyone who wishes to compete with them, to stand on an even playing field with them, and not beside them or under them, is an insult to their sense of superiority. The other player must have the backbone to mess with Arcose, just as they will mess with them."

"Losing such a valuable investment, and having its design, its intelligence "leaked." That alone will already be quite the catastrophic mess for them."

"Now, Here's what I know so far about the Sentinel's capabilities."

"It takes the shape of a 4th form Arcosian and is made of an unknown silvery metal. It is virtually impervious to conventional weaponry, including blasters and artillery fire. When it sustains damage, it can swiftly regenerate it, fixing or replacing the damaged portion, such as a sliced-off limb.

"Its fighting power is growing exponentially as it receives further development. Four months ago, their strongest Sentinel deployed to defend their capital city was clocked at 154,500. But our most recent report stated that it's now reaching levels of nearly 240,000 in battle."

"We also know that there is more than one of them in service."

"Right now, I'm looking at obtaining one that is deactivated and in mint condition. But should events not unfold in such an ideal manner, I must know your preference for the critical failure it should suffer. "

Marimba raises his right hand, palm open facing the ceiling.

"Overheating?" A puff of fire combusts 2 inches out of his palm before dissipating.

"Power Surge?" A bolt of lightning arcs from Marimba's thumb to his center palm and then his pinky finger.

"Or could you perhaps supply me with a better method?"

Soundtrack

The hulking namekuseijin expressed his real interest in challenging the supremacy of Ticoga and his empire. He called them nosy and intrusive in a constant basis. To him, the only way to compete with them on an "even playing field" was to be willing to interfere in their affairs the same way. Drum wished to deal a crushing blow to the empire's morale, public image and, most importantly, investor. To that, all that was needed was to "leak" the technology behind the Sentinel prototype or, better still, reverse engineer it into a trademarked property of the Karma Corporation.

Nashi's smile grew wide. If there was something that would peak his interest, it would be a combination of corporate espionage, institutional sabotage and nanotechnology, all mixed into the same package.

"Ain't that fascinating? It's true, if this project of theirs were to fall in my capable hands, I would have a functioning model to compete in no time. One might say it would be even better, humility aside."

The green giant proceeded to debrief what he knew about the Sentinel prototype. It had the shape of an arcosujin in their true form and was formed by a mysterious silver-colored alloy, which made him impervious to most "conventional weaponry". It also had a kind of auto-repairing system built in, which would make severely damaging it even more difficult than at first glance. From his explanation, the imperial engineers have been improving upon Sentinel's design exponentially in only a couple of months. Its stated power already surpassed the capabilities of the Aggran armor by over twofold, and to top it of, there was reportedly more than one of them already in operation.

Soundtrack

The namekuseijin then asked for advice on how to cause critical failures on those machines should he have to fight one of them to retrieve it. The Karma covered his chin in thought, and wondered across the white room for a couple of seconds, before responding.

"Certainly, based on what you described, the imperial engineers know what they're doing quite well. With the funding and sheer workforce they possess at their disposal, I must admit their Sentinels are far beyond the reaches of my nano-suit at the moment. Microscopic robots seem to comprise the vast majority of those androids' bodies. They appear impervious to damage, because the almost sentient machines in the hull adapt to the heat and kinetic force being exerted upon them, redirecting or absorbing and converting them into electricity. The regeneration is also a result of the machines constantly communicating with each other and running background checks for the integrity of the body as whole. The moment a section is damaged, they are alerted to repair it accordingly.

That being said, the best way to negate these properties, at least for a while, is what is called an electric-magnetic pulse, also known as EMP. A powerful discharge of electricity can be enough to disrupt the communication system of the individual nanobots, preventing them from being able to work efficiently as a single unit. If you are able to trap the Sentinel in restrains constantly pulsating this electro-magnetic field, it would certainly enter critical failure and remain paralyzed until we can appropriately turn it off."

Marimba listened intently to Karma as he explained what an EMP was and how continually active EMP-based restraints would be the best way to paralyze the Sentinel and keep it disabled.

"Hm. I think I've heard of that."

"I'll make sure to procure the most fitting EMP equipment I can before I begin the hunt."

The Namekian scoundrel already had in mind to scour the black markets of Hera until he found the ideal bindings. In fact, He had already seen EMP stuff for sale there before. It would no doubt be a time-consuming process to find something of a high enough grade to be capable of restraining a Sentinel, but the connections were already well-founded, and the funding itself would prove of little issue to the Mazoku King.

"We have our arrangement then. I will supply you with the Sentinel for you to reverse engineer. In return, you'll report your findings, including any discovered weaknesses or intel it may carry within it."

"Now I only need to know the drop-off point, its coordinates, and any special instructions for the delivery. I would prefer you send all of that through our messengers so I can reference it in the future. I'll notify you through that same channel when I have my quarry."

"If you have nothing more to say, I'll take my leave."

"I look forward to our next meeting, Piano."

The cloaked Mazoku returns his dragon mask to his face and departs from the office.

Soundtrack

Despite his size and appearance, Drum transmitted much wisdom and intelligence in his demeanor and reasoning. He claimed to have heard of EMP technology in the past, and he would look for something fitting for his assignment. Though the Karma could have easily ordered his subordinates to create the cuffs needed for restraining a Sentinel, he chose to let the hulking namekuseijin do his own thing, as he seemed capable enough and did not ask for help. Their arrangement between the two Orchestra instruments was made, and Nashi was to pay robot he was about to receive with intel and counter-measures for their technology.

"Nothing that will be difficult for me, I assure you. Get me a Sentinel, and all its secrets will be revealed in no time. Perhaps we'll even be able to start producing our own." - the giant then asked for coordinates and means of delivering the target to Nashi, to which he shrugged. - "That is the easiest part. I will inform you shortly of the most convenient way to send it to my personal laboratory for research in the following hours."

The green warrior prepared to take his leave, telling the tsufurujin he looked forward to their next meeting. Before that, though, the genius called for his attention one more time.

"I just ask that you do not damage the subject too much to restrain it, or it might become more difficult to study it. That said, I shall await our next encounter eagerly."

The namekuseijin wore his mask back and left the office shortly. Alone again, the entrepreneur returned to his chair, but turned it around to stare at the city view from his window. His fingers touched each other's tip as he smirked with enthusiasm.

"This was quite the interesting meeting. Drum was not what I expected in person, but he remains fascinating nonetheless." - he summoned his nano scouter from his eye. - "The energy reading coming from him was off the charts, much like the Maestro. Perhaps working with him will prove much more fruitful than I first thought."
