M01C_Roboticist_Start_Scene

|
Welcome to the RobCo Research Center, where we do things little children definitely don't need to know about! I, the eminent Dr. Clara Song, PhD, will be your guide.
|
|
2
|
Dr. Song? You mean the award-winning researcher? The author of The Robotics of Then and Now? She's our tour guide?
|
|
3
|
That's right! And since you Scouts are such trustworthy young citizens, I can show you all kinds of interesting things the public doesn't know about.
|
Sinister. She's trying to get her boss fired here by showing the Scouts things they shouldn't see.
|
4
|
Now off we go! Meet me at the first tour stop and maybe try to learn something for once.
|

|
Alright, kids, now we get to learn about another harsh reality of the working world. When all you children grow up big and strong, you get to have a boss!
|
|
6
|
Bosses are smarter, better-paid individuals who tell you how to do your job. Even when they've never done it themselves.
|
Smarter is in airquotes
|
7
|
And you have to do what they say. Even when it's something that doesn't make sense, like showing off your secret research lab to cute little Pioneer Scouts.
|
|
8
|
But when you pay the bills, you make the rules. That's the lesson.
|
|

|
Alright, this concludes our tour! I'm so glad I got to show you all this secret technology we have!
|
|
10
|
Make sure you, your parents, and any next of kin sign the nondisclosure agreements we distribute on the way out.
|
|
11
|
Have a great day! And remember: loose lips sink ships!

M01C_Roboticist_RoboticsAssembly_Scene
|
004265EC
|
Look, this is exciting! Here's where we build the robots that we design!
|
|
13
|
We build all our robots with interchangeable parts. That means we can switch out all kinds of things on them to give them different roles.
|
|
14
|
That's why your household Mr. Handy can flip your pancakes, while the Army's can fire laser beams and machine guns. And flamethrowers and rockets.
|
|
15
|
Just imagine all the cool things your robot could do for you if you could pay as much as the military!
|
|

M01C_Roboticist_EyebotStatue_Scene
|
004265E4
|
Look at this, children! It's an Eyebot! Here's a robot we actually did invent!
|
Emphasis on "did"
|
17
|
These little guys broadcast propaganda. Have you heard propaganda before? I bet you have, even if you didn't know it!
|
|
18
|
Propaganda teaches us about how very evil certain ideas are. Never mind if you've heard about a few and they don't seem that bad.
|
|
19
|
No, all foreign ideologies are baseless and inferior. And don't let anyone tell you different.
|
|
20
|
M01C_Roboticist_RobobrainAssembly_Scene
|
004265ED
|
And here we have something highly, highly classified. Do you know what classified means?
|
|
21
|
It means you should never, ever talk about it. In fact, it means we shouldn't have this posted on a sign in plain sight for all you lovely Pioneer Scouts.
|
|
22
|
Luckily, you kids aren't old enough to read! Right?
|
|
23
|
M01C_Roboticist_QualityControl_Scene
|
004265E5
|
This is our quality control center. As you can see, it's a tiny, smoke-filled room where our quality control specialists examine parts by hand.
|
|
24
|
Inefficient, you say? Hardly. It's not like you can trust a robot to do this kind of work!
|
|
25
|
And that's the lesson here, kids. Sometimes the real, tedious work needs a human touch. Even when it doesn't.
|
|
26
|
M01C_Roboticist_RoboticsResearchLab_Scene
|
004265DF
|
Here's where we conduct research on robots. I bet this is what all you little roboticists were hoping to see on this tour.
|
|
27
|
Robots really are amazing. We can program them to do just about anything! But that takes experimentation.
|
|
28
|
In an experiment, we test an idea - called a hypothesis - to see if it works. This tour is kind of an experiment, too!
|
|
29
|
We're testing to see if little kids can truly appreciate the wonders of highly classified science.
|
|
33
|
Can you guess where I stand on this? No? Well I wouldn't expect you to. Moving on.
|
|
30
|
M01C_Roboticist_TortureRoom_Scene
|
004265E6
|
Well, kids, I sure didn't expect to have to tell you about this dimly lit basement. But here we are!
|
|
31
|
I should begin by saying that hurting people is a very bad thing, and you should never do it.
|
|
32
|
And we certainly never do it, even though it may sound like we're doing it down here.
|
Emphasis on we. Muffled sounds of electric shocks in the background.
|
33
|
But sometimes a company needs to take drastic measures to innovate. And keep lucrative government contracts.
|
|
34
|
And really, what's more important in life than funding your livelihood?
|
|
35
|
Certainly not a squeamish thing like morals.
|
|
36
|
M01C_Roboticist_MrHandyStatue_Scene
|
004265E1
|
Here we have the lobby, reception desk, and everybody's favorite robot: Mr. Handy!
|
|
37
|
I bet you didn't know that RobCo developed the Mr. Handy. That's because we didn't! General Atomics did!
|
|
38
|
But we have added some very unique and morally questionable features to this guy over the years. So I guess that's why he's in our lobby now!
|
|
39
|
M01C_Roboticist_Monorail_Scene
|
004265EA
|
Here's something kids like: a monorail!
|
|
40
|
This monorail goes all the way to Watoga, our city of the future. Some of us - who can't afford cars - cram into this baby and ride it to work every single day.
|
Laborious emphasis on every. single. day.
|
41
|
Hey, did you know that the word monorail means that it only uses a single rail?
|
|
42
|
That's right! This train hangs perilously above the ground on a single, very thin rail line!
|
|
43
|
It's super cool! As long as you aren't afraid of heights.
|
|
44
|
M01C_Roboticist_CoffeeStand_Scene
|
004265E2
|
Hey, it's the coffee stand! This is where all we hardworking researchers catch a break, get some caffeine, and vent about our long, unpaid overtime hours.
|
|
45
|
But sometimes you just have to buckle down and work, work, work! Growing up sure sounds fun, doesn't it?
|
|
46
