Army of Gears - "A Burst of Life"
"Welcome, one and all, to the technological facility of Gears!!!"
The crowd gathered in the large arena cheered as the voice vurst through sets upon sets of speakers placed around them. Some of them just looked at the owner of the words, expectant.
"We are proud to unveil a new piece of machinery we have created. It will advance our mechanics toward technological warfare between us and the other countries against us."
A large chamber began to corkscrew out of the floor behind him, twisting into the cailing and being held by giant mechanical clamps, stopping its motion.
"Some would say its just a walking tank, but I have to disagree with that opinion."
The outside casing around the chamber began to revolve back down into the floor, slowly revealing something large, metallic, being also revealed by the lights that flashed on from the ceiling and floor.
"I give to you, my fellow workers and comrades... JONTE-7K40!"
More than half the crowd cheered, others either staring in disbelief at the mechanical monstrosity or shaking their heads, not impressed.
"JONTE-7K40, or Gerret, as I like to call it, is a machine set to perform to its greatest extent. Other then that, it doesn't require a pilot. It operates itself, basically."
The crowd grew silent, looking at the man before them, most with surprised eyes. The man in front of the machine looked back at them, the grin he was wearing on his face just before having disappeared.
"This is the future we've been waiting for! Just think, we won't have to send any more soldiers that would eventually die on the battlefield! We would always be the dominant country even if we only had five of these machines!"
Some of the spectators taking notes shook their heads sullenly, most of them, along with more than half of the crowd, began to leave the so-called arena. The man watched them with a scowl, turning and looking up into the 'eyes' of the machine behind him.
"JONTE-7K40, respond and codename Gerret!"
All was silent, some of the crowd having turned, curious as to if the machine would actually answer. A slight whirring began to fill the air. As the crowd turned to leave again, a long burst of hot steam blew out of the machine's back, its 'eyes' lighting to a crimson red.
"JONTE-7K40 sHaLl ReSpOnD tO nEw CoDeNaMe, GeRrEt."
