"Tick tock clock huh? Sounds like an interesting place. I bet it's much better than boring ol' Old Town," said Rookie.
Firago was startled when the bee was zapped in front of his face. "What...I'm scared of bees. Is there something wrong with that?" he said. "Well let's change the subject. I'd like to see this robot of your."
"I second that." said Ross. "By the way we should get there in about 5 minutes. You will soon notice a change in quality in our surrounding air..."

Erlosung looked around to see where they are at the moment. He then looked at the crate.
"Well then... best I set it up then... I guess..."
Erlosung then opened the crate up and took out the robot and put it aside next to him. Erlosung stands next to its side and looks at Firago. The robot is also looking in the direction towards Firago.
"Well... this is my robot..."
Erlosung's robot looks like an exact replica of Erlosung with practically no difference between the real one. Erlosung stood still and just looked at the others for their reaction.

"How do we know which one is the robot and which on is you down the line?" Maya asked.

Erlosung thought for a while.
"Not too sure really... My colleagues couldn't even tell the difference is one thing I know... I guess a difference is that the robot's mouth doesn't move when I make it talk... then again its very very hard to see my mouth move when I talk due to... my mask..."

"Do they both react the same way?" Maya asked.

"Hmm..." said Firago as he examined the robot. "Very interesting robot Erlosung. I think this makes extraction much easier to facilitate." he said to the robot apparently thinking it's the real Erlo.
"There it is...what a nasty smell," said Ross pulling the jeep onto the side of the road and pointing down a path leading to the bog. "What's interesting about this bog is that it apparently smells different to each person. It's certain to smell like the most revolting thing that individual every smelled in their life but 78 times worse..."
Ross grabbed his brief case and jumped out of the jeep. He opened it and started looking through various portable lab equipment such as a powerful microscope, droppers, flasks, and a burner. He grabbed several gas masks and handed them out.
The distant smell reminded Rookie of the moose fart. "Blech! Not that smell again!"
To Firago it reminded him of a biological weapon that his sensitive rex nose was vulnerable to. He immediately started gagging and his eyes watered.
To Ross the smell reminded him of a stupid science experiment prank that he and a friend did when they were at an academy. "...very very unpleasant..."

To Maya, it reminded her of the moose fart also. "Now that is just rancid! That's sick! Is the mud around the bog made to have permanent smell if you fall in also?"

Hansen was amazed at the symmetry between the creation and its maker. He was also confused, "Erlosung, I am just curious, why does the robot look exactly like you in the first place? What is the purpose of an Erlo clone"
Hansen put on the gas mask as fast as he could. It hardly helped though, the stench was just too strong. Hansen couldn't stop gagging, "I am not even going to mention what this smells like...lets hurry and get this over with, before my senses become scarred forever."

Erlosung just looked at the bog and smelled the air a bit.
"... smells like someone I know... long story..."
He gets a mask and overlays it with his already present mask. He looked at Hansen.
"You will soon see enough why... I just hope you won't see me as any more weirder however... Everyone's off the jeep right? Well then..."
Erlosung went to the front of the jeep and opened a panel revealing a bunch of button. Erlosung then start pressing some buttons and the jeep started transforming a bit (hey it's the near future), the jeep now having quite a high roof enclosing it. The seats in the back folded down inside the jeep and at the sides of the jeep fell down some panels, revealing desks and some computers; a mobile lab of sorts. Finally, two spherical shell of unknown materials are emitted from advanced technology.
"Inventions... I didn't engineer this enitre jeep myself afterall..."
He then went to the robot.
"This... Hansen... is the reason why it has to look exactly like me, least in terms of shape... It is so I have a true 1 to 1 control and movement of it... my body being the controller..."
Erlosung observed the robot for a bit, then in the crate gets a bag of what looks like stickers and pins, matching his attire, which Erlosung puts all over his body. He then looked up at spherical shell.
"... Well better looking like a fool... than being permanently stinked..."
Erlosung went up onto the stand then the two spherical shells enclosed Erlosung, making Erlosung become enclosed into a sphere. Erlosung floated inside the spherical shell.
"So far it works.. now to... activate the robot... and get this whole contraption working correctly..."
Erlosung's lenses then shifted a bit and then shoots a jolt of electricity onto the robot. The robot then powers up, its lenses lighting up a bit. Erlosung then dropped down in the sphere as if standing on some solid ground, still seemingly floating in the sphere.
"It works... Now then..."
When Erlosung walked seemingly in the air, the robot walks as well. When Erlosung moves his arms, the robot moves in the same exact manner.
"... nice... nice..."
Finally, with the robot, opens the door and flip highly out of the jeep. The real Erlosung seems to be doing this in one place, the sphere accommodating to his every movement in a way so he always stays in the center of the sphere. He may look funny to others doing all this in the sphere. The robot landed perfectly. The robot made a bit of white noice before it finally becomes crystal clear to Erlosung's voice. Erlosung then walked towards Ross.
Through the robot, "Well... Ross is it?... seems its working perfectly... So where is this... bog? Do know this robot has alot of things embedded in it to try to get various jobs done..."
To Ross, it would seem like if it is the real Erlosung talking to him, there being no external differences in appearance.

"Yes that is so true Erlosung. It is better to look like you are a cyborg then to be smelly. Though I have to ask if there is anyway to engineer a cure for the stink."

While Erlosung prepared and powered up the robot Ross had his full attention toward his own equipment. He thought the real Erlosung was talking to him. "Just follow this trail here and we will find it," he said as he stood up wearing his mask. "Hey Erlosung you might want to set a security lockdown on that portable lab of yours. The bog is a little ways away."
Firago and Rookie made sure their masks were on tight. "Gah! Curse my nose! I still smell it!" said Firago.
"Perhaps this will help..." said a familiar voice. A ball of wind materialized around Firago's nose. "Hey! It works! Smells like fresh air to me thanks whoever did that!" said a grateful Firago.
"No problem!" said a masked Teal who was approaching the group with a masked Pandora beside him. "Are you ready to do this or what?"
"Yeah let's get this over with!" said Rookie. Ross started walking down the trail with Firago, Rookie, Teal, and Pandora following.
"Be wary." said Pandora. "I've got a feeling those goons will be aware of our presence so keep your guard up."
The group would come across a sickly green bog that looked like a toxic waste dump. "Yep I can sense those goons are here...about 800 feet away," said Pandora.
"Ah yes I forgot to tell you all," announced Ross. "We need you fighters to defend us while Erlosung, Firago, and I and possibly Hansen extract and analyse the bacteria. We require teamwork to get this job done. If we do well I might even be able to formulate a cure to this stench. To the fighters I should warn you to stay out of those wet mud patches. I don't want to have to travel with someone with stinky feet. Does anyone have any quick questions?"

"If we fall in those wet mud patches will we stink forever or is it just the bog?"

"I'm not sure if it will be permanent or not. You'd best stay out of them," said Ross.
"As you all saw I can cast wind magic," said Teal. "But that doesn't mean I can cast it many times. If you get yourself stinked I don't think I'll be able to cast a wind screen on everyone."
"Now Erlosung I'm going to need your robot to check out that area right there," said Ross as he pointed at the bog where it's greener on the other side."
"They're coming!" said Pandora.

Through the robot, Erlosung responded.
"Well then right away... Possibility of goons? Well then..."
Erlosung made the robot take out a stun gun exactly like the real Erlosung's stun gun.
"And as far as having a security lock down on my portable lab, it will be done now..."
As soon as Erlosung said that, the jeep gets all locked up with reinforcement panels, along with some turrets coming from the top and the sides.
"And there you go... Might not be a lot but well, it gets the job done? So over there? Well then..."
Erlosung makes the robot shift its lens to analyze the area he is to go to to see if there may be any goons ready to jump him. He then slowly proceeded to go to that direction with the gun at hand.

"Well then we best better prepare to fight and stay away from the mud patches then." Maya said.

Hansen filled up his gun with two different vials, one that was light brown in color, and the other red. "I'll come with you guys and help with the extraction, unless you find that you need more fighters, then I can definitely lend a hand in thatposition as well."
He continued to walk down the trail, being ever watchful of his surroundings. "I don't know how these 'goons' that you speak of can stand being in a place like this."

Maya stood around avoiding all the patches of mud but wondering if there was any way to test them. "I don't think we have to worry about the mud patches, but I wish I could be sure."

Erlosung would not see any goons in the bog.
A hostile group of 10 people wearing gas mask-like device completely covering their faces. There were 2 mousers, 4 koopas, 2 humans, 1 yoshi, and 1 goomba. The mousers appeared to be armed with many explosive weapons such as grenades, the koopas wielded swords, the 2 buff humans wielded large axes, the goomba wore a spiked helmet, and the yoshi was armed with a bow and arrows. The yoshi attempted to shoot an arrow at Ross.
The mousers and yoshi stood a good distance back while everyone else closed in on the group. There were all dressed casually but had curious tattoos that looks like spiked bramble vines wrapped around their bodies.
The goomba rushes toward Maya leaping at her.

Maya took her glaive out and slashed at the two mousers. "Oh there is no way I'm going into that bog!"

The heavily armored goomba managed to impact Maya on the side with a pound that felt like someone threw a spiked bowling ball at her. A human and a koopa blocked Maya's passage as the mousers were standing a good distance away. "You're not going anywhere toots," said a koopa.
One of the mousers threw a grenade where Teal and Rookie were standing. "Look out!" shouted Teal. The two yoshies jumped away just missing the grenade's explosion. "Okay...time to get serious!" said Teal as he grabbed the spear that was slung onto his back. He ran to Maya's side and assumed a fighting stance. "You okay there?" he said to Maya.
Pandora and Rookie stood a distance back away from the action. Pandora quickly chanted a few words and started shooting plumes of fire from her finder tips at a human. Rookie aimed his revolver at a koopa and fired a shot. Unfortunately the koopa noticed this and turned its back toward him deflecting the bullet with its shell.
Erlosung would encounter a very gunky surface which slowed his robot down considerably almost to the point of halting it.
"Um...are you having trouble there Erlosung?" asked Ross. "It appears your robot is going kind of slow...can you speed it up a bit? Our protectors are kind of outnumbered as you can see."
