Repliforce Personnel Reviews

Corporal American Eagle

Strengths: Subject is a true soldier, as per US Marine tradition. Subject is also the creator of the current Repliforce motto: 'Repliforce, Fuck Yeah!'

Weaknesses: Subject suffers from temper issues. His dedication to protecting the united States of America greatly outweigh his dedication to protecting other parts of the world.

Major Jet Stingray

Strengths: Subject is well liked by his fellow officers and does not appear to suffer from any serious mental illnesses. He possesses above average combat abilities. Subject is extremely popular among his comrades and his subordinates, something that is disappointingly rare among the high command. Subject's work on Atlantis has been impressive every step of the way, and his dedication to seeing it thrive has been welcome. It remains to be seen how viable it is for the long term, however I have calculated the odds to be quite good. Subject is both a solid combatant and leader.

Weaknesses: Subject tends to appear in terrible and near unwatchable movies with a minimalist, gimmicky plot, serious pacing issues, little to no thought behind it, and shallow one-dimensional characters. The box office, however, appears to disagree with me.

Sergeant Max Armour

Strengths: Subject does not appear to suffer any serious mental illnesses. He and his ZIKOMO power armour are ofen available for emergency deployment at any given time. Subject will likely be a fine example of how STARS benefits from its new arrangement with Repliforce, as his available arsenal of war machines has been greatly expanded.

Weaknesses: I wish to see Subject grow beyond a mere pilot and soldier. STARS needs command figures and leaders. I also wish to see what becomes to Subject's ability to utilize the heavier Repliforce war machines.

Corporal Nurse Owl

Strengths: Subject does not appear to suffer from any serious mental illnesses. Subject always has a firm grasp of the situation at hand. Her dedication in seeing things through to the end is impressive. Subject's bedside manners are above normal. She also possesses a very flexible frame. Subject excels at her two main medical specialties - full chassis maintenance and lube jobs.

Weaknesses: Subject is a subpar Battle & Chase announcer and a poor combatant, although her other assets make up for this.

Major Prismatic Spider [Review is dated prior to subject's promotion to third in command]

Strengths: Subject's return to the Repliforce has been a tremendous advantage for the Repliforce, particularly during the growing bureaucracy and administration duties that have occasionally kept General and Colonel busy. Subject is among the best in the world concerning military engineering and various scientific applications. This was aptly demonstrated from his creation of the Ragnarock & Roll concert that ultimately destroyed Ra Moon. Subject is capable soldier, whether piloting a Ride Armour, commanding an emergency field medical team, or even operating solo. His versatility and leadership skills make him my choice for replacing me when I step down as third in command. Aside from the potential danger listed below, Subject does not appear to suffer from any serious mental illnesses.

Weaknesses: Subject sometimes overworks himself. My one concern in recommending him as my replacement is that he may burn out from the demands and pressure of the job.

1st Lieutenant Shield Shellfish

Strengths: Subject's dangerous paranoia is still unwavering. She excels at making any location perfectly safe through a multitude of scans and searches. Subject has remarkably managed to create a fully coded language, including syntax, context, and intonation all via subtle differences in pitch, volume, and audial modulation of a single general noise. Subject is dedicated to her job of protecting lives.

Weaknesses: Subject continues to suffer from family issues. I would prefer that she invoke the assistance of Repliforce rather than dealing with these issues herself. Subject has a very high repair budget set aside for her.

Captain Shining Firefly

Strengths: Aside from memory errors which have never appeared while on the job and which I now believe to be to be an attempt to lull others into a false sense of security, Subject does not appear to suffer from any serious mental illnesses. Subject has tremendous experience repairing and upgrading the Fortress V.

Weaknesses: Aside from the previously mentioned memory errors, below average combat ability, and an excess of compassion, Subject has no notable weaknesses.

1st Lieutenant Singularity Shrike

Strengths: Subject is a capable soldier and does not appear to suffer from any serious mental illnesses. Subject has shown himself able to read between the lines and has strong viewpoints on ethics and what is right.

Weaknesses: Subject has temper issues, most notably when dealing with the Maverick Attila. Multiple times Commander Spider was forced to order Subject not to start a brawl when the Mavericks were holding a rally in Able City.  I would expect the Subject to be able to realize when he is simply being baited and respond with logic rather than emotions.

Major Rush Raccoon

Strengths: Subject shows tremendous dedication and enthusiasm for his job. He does not appear to suffer from any serious mental illnesses. Subject has taken an interest in airship command and has shown himself to be relatively capable in charge of the Valkyrie, as demonstrated by the siege on the Aleutian Base and other numerous events.

Weaknesses: Subject needs more experience both at command and at politics rather than take things at face value.

Maverick Hunter Dossiers

Rock "Megaman" Beauregard Light

Subject is a powerful combatant and our best line of defense against threats to this planet, whether it be external or internal. His diplomatic skills are impressive. His leadership is legendary, as demonstrated by his ability to keep such a diverse and mentally instable group of warriors working together for a common cause. It has also been suggested that he is responsible for pulling the Hunters out of their recent turmoil. Subject is wildly popular worldwide. Note that I myself have rarely met with this Subject in person, so most of my information is from secondhand sources and reports.

Dr. Pavel Alexis Cossack

Subject is a brilliant weapons engineer and scientist. He is also a realist, something that is refreshing to see in the Hunter organization. He appears willing to see the larger picture and understand the consequences of things. While some believe Subject to be infallible and undefeatable, it became clear to me that in the Maverick Hunters, it is Dr. Light that commands the most respect and authority above all others. Subject is one that always seems to have an 'ace up his sleeve'. He is usually prepared for any contingency, and his dedication to his job is admirable, as demonstrated by his medical work in Tent City shortly following his battle against Ra Moon in the Cyclops.

Blues "Protoman" Light

The following is a brief account of my involvement of Subject's latest incident:

• Protoman, apparently working alongside Ra Moon, teleported into the Fortress V as we battled Ra Moon's forces. He caused an overload in the Fortress V's power systems and sent it crashing towards the ground, killing 19 soldiers. It was only Shining Firefly's last-ditch effort that prevented the ship from being a total loss. At this time Protoman terminates all radio contact with the allies and goes rogue.
• A cabin in British Columbia explodes. I immediately ordered the area secured and searched. There we found evidence that Protoman had been using it as a hidden outpost for sometime. We also discover a journal detailing his days prior to joining Ra Moon, which takes several days to decrypt. Remaining text found has yet to be deciphered; our experts believe they are comprised of gibberish. The deciphered journal is shared with Hunter Command. [the journal's text is attached to this profile: Protoman's Journal ]
• Protoman kills Detective Jonathon Boone and Mr. Zane Sandoval.
• Protoman begins leading Ra Moon's Robot Gentlemen on various assaults, including Tartarus, Able City, and the Tower of Light. There are numerous deaths, although there has never been an accurate count of how many Protoman himself is specifically responsible for.
• Protoman reportedly assists our forces in the attack on the Robot Gentlemen's base of operations, Tora Bora.
• Ra Moon was defeated. There were scattered reports that Protoman again assisted. His whereabouts are then unknown.
• The United Nations release a preliminary list of charges against Protoman.
• Commander Prismatic Spider and Major Rush Raccoon spot Protoman at the Torontreal Memorial. He is witnessed observing and momentarily covering up the name 'Rosie Bello'. Ms. Bello was killed years ago during the Robot Master attack on San Angeles. Further investigation reveals that Ms. Bello was the wife of Detective Jonathon Boone, reportedly a friend of Protoman before his death. I also discover that Mr. Boone was diagnosed with nerve cancer. He had no more than two months left to live. Whether this is relevent I leave up to interpretation. Boone and Bello are survived by a daughter, Sarah Boone. At this point I make a note to meet with the young woman.
• There is growing hostility between the Maverick Hunters and Repliforce concerning what to do with Protoman. The Repliforce is relatively unified in the desire to see Protoman held for a public trial. The Hunters appear divided.
• I spoke with Dr. Cossack concerning Protoman and discovered that he has turned himself over to the Hunters. It was a very worrying meeting and confirms my fears that the Maverick Hunters' divide over this issue may tear them apart. [the report of this meeting is attached to this profile: Dr. Cossack Meeting Report
• The Maverick Hunters declare that they will be having a tribunal on Protoman's fate. My requests that he be turned over to the UN is not well received.
• I invite Dr. Light to visit the Fortress V to discuss matters. Commander Prismatic Spider and I speak with him. The meeting, I regret to say, went very poorly. Neither side budged, and Dr. Light was quite furious with us.
• Approximately eight hours after our meeting, the President and his senior staff met with Dr. Light, whereupon the doctor presented a case of mind control for Protoman. Protoman is swiftly issued a full pardon. Given the time frame of these events and that this supposed mind control was never mentioned at our meeting, I am very skeptical.
• I am granted an audience with Protoman. He informs me that he was not mind controlled when he originally decided to join Ra Moon - out of a desire to infiltrate the Destroyer's organization from within and rescue fellow Hunter C-Class Mirror Orange. Protoman states that he does not know if he was being mind controlled after Ra Moon took a hold of him.
• The Maverick Hunters held their tribunal. They punished Protoman by scaling back his combat abilities, his unique blink systems, and reducing him to an E-Class Hunter. I consider the fact that the US pardoned Protoman due to 'mind control', and that the Hunters punished him despite this 'mind control' to be contradictory, and further raises my suspicions.
• After gauging the lackluster global desire to see Protoman held for an impartial trial, and comparing it with the damage that would be done with our relationship with the Hunters, I decided to stop pursuing the issue. I will keep Sarah Boone on record, however I do not intend to meet with her in the near future.

Overall, Subject is arrogant and overly confident of himself. His belief that he could single-handedly infiltrate Ra Moon's organization without informing anyone else is a fine example of this. Subject also suffers from dangerous mental issues. He is quite capable of appearing sad one moment and belligerent the next. I confess I am not able to tell when Subject is acting or is showing genuine emotion. I do not know if he truly is sorry about his actions or if he is simply playing everyone for fools. My hypothesis is the latter, however. Either way, Subject has successfully managed to escape a public investigation into what happened.

Dr. Thomas Xavier Light [There is a link here to the Protoman timeline, above]

Subject is the most powerful individual on the planet - possibly of all time. He is incredibly intelligent and kind, but is also deeply flawed. Subject's immense power has never been more aptly demonstrated than during our final [there is an editable note at this word, just in case the word 'final' ever needs to be corrected] war with Ra Moon] Subject's diplomatic skills also presented themselves when he successfully managed to get Alpha and Shuseki Ijuin to cease their hostilities against one another.

Subject's scientific genius was shown by his use of the Stardroid Pendants to create the trap that was used against Ra Moon. Quite frankly without his assistance the world may have been destroyed, and this is not something to be taken lightly or ignored. This is only one of many examples of his ability to use science and technology for the benefit of the world. He is the father of sentient AI and has made many groundbreaking discoveries in a variety of fields. Subject's full scientific resume is well documented and I will not bother to list them all [there are links to various dossiers on Light's scientific accomplishments here]. Dr. Light's brilliance is an asset that we may not be able to survive without.

It is Subject's political power and his misguided acts of compassion towards his family that gravely concern me, however. His ability to essentially get Protoman off the hook was incredible, as well as his ability to stand up to other elements within the Hunters that disagreed with him. Both Dr. Cossack and the President of the United States dared not get in his way. Beyond Subject's immense power is a misguided ethical belief system. The Hunters as an organization suffer from it. It is their primary flaw: The Maverick Hunters do not care about the average citizen.

A threat against thousands of helpless citizens is hardly a concern for them. A threat against one of their own is immediately their top priority. Unless they belong to the Maverick Hunter organization and/or (even more important) are related to Dr. Light, their value is limited. When Protoman kills nineteen soldiers, murders two innocent humans in cold blood, very nearly destroys the Fortress V, causes the death of hundreds in Able City and Giga City, not to mention the others that perished because we, the Repliforce, were too wounded to protect them, it barely registers in Subject's mind. His only concern is rescuing his own flesh and blood. Those same victims are then denied the chance for justice, again due to Subject. However when someone harms Roll, a single individual however tragic it may be, the Hunters will consider this a far worse crime than the death of hundreds of others - all of whom had the same right to life as that one individual. All of whom had their own families that will miss them.

Note however that I am fully aware of the difficult balancing act that we, as a world, have to manage. However injust Subject'sMaverick Hunters may be, we also need them to survive. The Repliforce has, historically, proven itself capable of defeating both the Coalition and the Robot Masters separately. However faced with three threats all at the same time, we need their assistance. Thus, we are forced to make the difficult decision of allowing the Hunter injustice or moving to correct them. Since the latter leads to ruin, we have no choice but to choose the former. It is an imperfect solution, and one which I fear will eventually catch up with us, but currently there is no other way. Both Subject and the Maverick Hunters are too large of an asset to give up.

Despite Subject's flaws, there is little doubt that the world would be a worse place were he to disappear.

Auto

Subject is a security risk for the allies, and in particular Repliforce. I refer to his slip that informed Protoman that Repliforce had taken over the remains of his cabin and deciphered his journals. Thankfully, despite Protoman's reported "furious" state upon hearing the news, he did not have time to come kill us all.

Axl

Subject is portable and can be compacted into a 3x3 shipping crate for easy transport.

Alpha

Subject is belligerent and suffers from insecurity issues. It may be a symptom of the Maverick Hunters' less strict chain of command, where honour and the respect of your peers means more than a simple rank. Regardless, her fear of being left out of command decisions has caused friction in her duties as the Maverick Hunter representative for Basilisk Station. I refer to the conflict that arose between her and Scitech CEO Shuseki Ijuin, where Subject perceived that Shuseki had overstepped his bounds by not seeking her approval over matters. As well I refer to an incident where she took great offense when I sent a message to the Hunter Chain of Command - SA Class and higher - regarding adding Scitech to the allied space station. I had expected that Hunter Command would filter the report to those they felt should be informed, however Subject felt I should have gone to her directly. Subject can usually be calmed and reassured of her security, however.
