As I've stated many times, the current "plot" in the prototype is filler and is not intended to be final. Most of the scenarios don't make sense, the writing is poor, and there is a lot of repeat-content. In the next major version of the game the plot and progression will be vastly different and any… Read More

An idea I got for the story is that the Stardroids and Duo, Solo, and Trill could have a connection. Maybe the Stardroids wanted to use evil energy from evil Duo or 'Oud' to revive Sunstar but Duo(good) tried to stop them. If you include Super Adventure Rockman in the prototype, you could have a connection through all three groups.(Ra Moon, Stardroids, and Solo, Duo, and Trill) The possibilities are endless for the space robots!

It would be cool if Ra Moon was the Final Boss of the entire game.

I, for one, am very confused by this "Slur" fellow. I was previously led to believe that Robots such as himself and his companion Trill were the new AI given physical form, but that seems to not be the case. If he is the AI, why would it be aware of happenings off of planet Earth, and why would he suddenly go rogue? If he is not the AI, why does he seem to know everything about the virtual world in which the AI dwells, and—perhaps more importantly—who is the AI? Does the AI even take on a physical form in the virtual world? What is the AI, anyway?

I would make further commentary, but there's an awful lot here that I'm not being told. Like where "Trio" falls into all of this.

You mean "It's a Secret to Everybody."

No one references Zelda incorrectly in my presence and gets away with it!

To answer your question at the top, (from what I got from reading it), Slur is not the AI but is part of a group like Duo. They probably watch the universe as they are judges. They probably watched Light create the prototype so they know how it works. Who is the AI? When you play a game and go aganist a game AI, its the same thing. All it is is the prototype. Hope I answered your questions. This might be wrong though.

*gasp*
All these years, I thought it was "everyone"... I'm a disgrace to the world... *sobs*

Back on topic, is Slur an alien or a robot from another planet? How did his partner get into the Prototype? Why do I ask so many questions? And how come no one recognized the (probably) wanted criminal Wily just because he was wearing -shot-

Lets hope he spares you like he did me.

Slur is probably a robot from another planet or maybe just a space robot. Slurs partner probably teleported in with alien technology. You are probably curious and maybe they were focusing on the reveal of the prototype. Either that, or theres a reason why humans rely on robots so much. The bigger question to me why no one recognized Bass just because he-shot-.

Well, you see... the plot is a W.I.P. so some of these aren't ready to be answered yet. I will go into a little more detail about the star robots though... or are they aliens? Star...droids? Maybe "stardroids" could be a blanket turn for all space-based robot/alien hybrids? Whatever, it's doesn't really matter yet. This is their backstory as I see it:


Slur and Trill are like ambassadors for an intergalactic space council that surveys and passed judgement on planets.

The council is a hierarchy made up of three tiers - the first is headed by Solo, the second is/was headed by two Duo units, and the third tier is comprised of three identical Trio units.

The Duo units were responsible for surveying the good and evil of planets and passing passing judgement on those that had run out of balance. During a mission to survey Earth, the two Duo units could not come to an agreement on the fate of the planet and a great battle was fought. The dark side of the Duo unit was destroyed, but the light side appears to have forgotten it's origins and allied with the planet it was meant to destroy.

After years of no contact from the Duo units, the council set out to find them and were naturally lead to Earth by their energy signatures. Unfortunately for our planet, the council has been watching from afar for years as their asteroid drifted slowly toward our solar system. This gave them plenty of time to evaluate our past, present, and future and discover that despite our best attempts we will always lose and always succumb to the darkness.

The council sends Slur and its partner Trill to the Earth to collect data on our technological progress and then reset our planet back to its evolutionary beginnings. The two oblige, having completed missions like this hundreds of times over in their lives, and head to Earth together with absolutely perfect timing, crashing the unveiling of the prototype with terrifying style.

Because Slur enjoys its job and has a bit of an arrogant personality, it decides to play a bit of a game with the humans and their robot slaves before putting them out of their mercy. Using highly advanced alien technology (because aliens) they fling the planet's primary heroes figures into the prototype itself and force them to fight their way out.

The doctors and their robots fight Trill and a slurry of other robots under the idea and promise that doing so will allow them to escape and to free their planet, but whether or not Slur plans to keep it's word is another matter. It does have a job, after all.


What actually happens from here as displayed in-game is up to anyone's interpretation, up and and including the player-battles, the end-game scenario, and other/potential future content, it's really all up in the air at this point and I'm getting more and more ideas the more I read your comments.

Also, Slur and Trill have complete control over the prototype simply because they are powerful beings with highly advanced technological skills, assimilated from a multitude of fallen planets and peoples. What's happening to our players is a combination of Slur and Trill's messing around with the system and mechanics already present in the system from the start. That being said, the prototype's database is quite vast and there may be parts of its memory space that the two ambassadors are not fully paying attention to during this event... Who knows what kind of junk data has been accumulating in that vast, empty place...

Okay; now that I have some context, it makes more sense. Except for one thing.

I've seen Slur referred to as "he," "she," and "it" now. What gender is the Robotic judge?

I think it's worth noting, at least, that a lot of people have given the "Evil Energy Robot" the fan name Solo. You should have your explanation of the Galactic Council ready at all times, this being the case.

So, if there are three identical Trio units, I imagine a battle against him would just be fighting the same Trio three times over? That doesn't sound very exciting. What if Trio was, instead, composed of three separate units that communicated to one another and judged races, much like the Duo units? As I interpret it, they would be less inclined towards their morality (Like the Duo units are/were), and more about their power as a people. Perhaps they could be composed of Body, Mind, and Soul? I don't know, it's kind of an on-the-spot idea...
