Reploid Elimination Not Completed
by Bradbury K. Wells
Times Staff Writer
A new uprising is emminent in the battle to contain
the Maverick Reploids that have broken away from their control center. Once
believed to be completely contained, these Mavericks have been detected in
an abandoned production factory, according to an intelligence report by well-known
scientist Dr. Cain.
A special armada of Maverick Hunters was mobilized
today to the production factory, but only one reploid has been able to penetrate
the heavy artillery outside the factory.
[Shows a screenshot of X racing on a hover bike,
with the caption, "Mega Man X races to the abandoned reploid factory
today."]
Known as Mega Man X, this same reploid has been
primarily responsible for the apparent elimination of the threat six months
ago. According to Dr. Cain's report, now Mega Man X will battle the Mavericks
in an attempt to locate and destroy the leader of this new uprising.
