Robots by Vecna

[Simplicity]

A military robot by a company named Vecna. Too bad it doesn't only have one eye and one hand...

New Army technology could save soldiers' lives - CNN.com

What'll happen is it'll be destroyed in a fight, and the remaining eye and hand will then gain great power...

And that's not all (in the same article)!

One civilian participated in the regenerative-medicine study after cutting off the tip of his finger in a model plane's propeller. Researchers continually applied the matrix to the wound, and after four weeks, the body grew skin and tissue to replenish the damaged area.

So if the wounded soldier happens to have lost his Hand, perhaps Vecna Technologies will be able to help there too? DANGER!

Vecna has tons of recruitment ads on the subways here in Boston. I snicker every time I see them -- "WORK FOR VECNA." Apparently he has great benefits and a casual work environment, compared to most evil NPCs.

Maybe their slogan could be, "Most people would give their right hand to work for us."

Left hand, my friend. The Hand of Vecna was his left hand.

Left hand, my friend. The Hand of Vecna was his left hand.

Yes. That's what makes it funny.

 

[Man in the Funny Hat]

Yes. That's what makes it funny.

Yeah, it's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.

I don't suppose you could get a picture of one of the better recruitment signs?

Yet something you could use for the evil corporation *tm* for a cyberpunk/shadowrun game. Or even a fantasy game, give the bbeg a good pr team. Creating undead? Noooo, these are "bone golems" created to do dangerous tasks so that people don't get hurt. Look see mine collapse, let me send my "bone golems" in to rescue the trapped miners." and when the trust of the community is gained, the bbeg might be able to to turn the community against the players "Heroes, you call this band of thugs who are despoiling my legally owned property heroes? They are nothing but a band of ruffians and thugs looking to loot their way to riches."
