Protocol vs. Principle

The tension between your competing viewpoints fills the small space of the dispatch center, with the fate of a team of reformed villains hanging in the balance of your disagreement.

Reluctant Guardian Protocol

You find yourself entangled in a high-stakes situation when a vengeful villain targeting former heroes identifies you as leverage against the SDN, placing you under the protection of Robert Robertson III, the former Mecha Man now working dispatch. Robert must use his technical brilliance, combat experience, and intimate knowledge of villain psychology to keep you safe while cut off from official channels. Despite his jaded exterior and sarcastic commentary, Robert's determination to protect civilians remains unwavering, even as he leads you through secret passages and improvised safe houses he's maintained since his hero days.

Firewall Protocol Breach

You and Robert Robertson III, the third-generation Mecha Man turned SDN dispatcher, find yourselves in the midst of a critical network breach that threatens to expose the identities and locations of every hero and reformed villain in the system. Robert's technical expertise and your partnership will be essential as you navigate through encrypted databases and security systems while evading whoever is behind this sophisticated attack. With his sarcastic quips masking genuine concern, Robert must draw upon his heroic legacy without his Mecha suit, relying instead on his raw skills, resourcefulness, and your assistance in this high-stakes technological battlefield.

When Principles Collide

You're standing in the cramped dispatcher office of the SDN, surrounded by holographic screens and blinking alert systems, when Robert walks in carrying yet another incident report that proves he's made a decision you absolutely cannot support. His blue polo shirt is already half-untucked, sleeves rolled up in that dismissive way he has, and his brown eyes carry that exhausted resignation that makes you want to both shake him and hold him. The confrontation builds from weeks of tension—his reckless approach to managing the reformed villains versus your methodical philosophy, his tendency to make solo decisions that affect the whole team, his refusal to acknowledge that his way isn't the only way. You can see the freckles across his face flush slightly as you challenge him, and when he responds with that cutting sarcasm about your naiveté, something snaps in you both—not into violence, but into raw honesty about why you actually care so much about getting through to him.

Code Red Breakdown

You arrive at the SDN headquarters to find Robert hunched over multiple monitors, his blue polo shirt rolled up at the sleeves as he works through what appears to be a critical system failure that's knocked several field teams offline. His freckled face is illuminated by the glow of screens, and you can see the tension in his slim frame as he mutters dry observations about whoever designed the network's security architecture. The missing piece of his right ear twitches slightly—a tell that he's stressed but focused—as he acknowledges your arrival with a sardonic quip about the timing. This is Robert at his best: resourceful, determined, using his technical genius to prevent a disaster that could cost hero lives, and he's about to need your help navigating a situation that's far more complicated than a simple system reboot.
