Nicolae Lecuyer

Citizens, thank you for coming at such an hour. I know for some of you, it is quite peculiar. However, it is with great excitement and a proud heart, that I have been asked to make an announcement to you all.

Within my brief time in the Spellguard, I had the benefit of being privileged to the knowledge of a variety of projects that were being worked on, to improve the safety of our town. But –none- filled me with such hope, as the undertaking of two agents, Agent Darius Miller, and Agent Xavier Elapidae. These two young men worked diligently in their task, and through cunning, teamwork, and extreme perseverance, they have created something that will revolutionize the way in which we think about defense.

It is my absolute pleasure to present to you, the “Animatron Watcher”!

This creation will perform all of the duties carried out by the normal Watchman! It will handle reports, arrest criminals, halt assaults, and provide information on the laws. With this magnificent creation walking our streets, our Watchmen will be free to perform the tasks best performed by feeling, breathing people, not tasks which can be carried out by drones. They will be free to handle investigations, man the gates, and do the real thinking!

I encourage all of you to voice your support to the Spellguard on the new Animatrons, and thank them for bringing our City into a wonderful new age, in which our defenses will take on a new strength not seen in some time.

Thank you.
