Today, Randolph Vemlick, a spokesperson for RDI (Research and Development Institute), announced the commencement of Operation Scarecrow. His statement follows: “To all responsible and competent citizens of Calypso: There is a need for brave robot hunters to search and retrieve material for research purposes. A couple of months ago the pattern of robot activity on Calypso has changed. Calypsonian authorities state that the large scale attacks upon the cities have ceased. Since then, only scattered robot activity with the odd large concentration have been reported. A colonial investigation team was dispatched to known areas of robot activity to search for additional clues to explain this decrease in activity. The evidence uncovered by this expedition was found to be of great importance. RDI believes it indicates that the robots are greatly advancing in their development. This theory has led to a flurry of intense activity within RDI. Unfortunately, the few robot parts salvaged by the expedition have only rendered more questions than answers. Additionally, Calyponian authorities have also been speculating over the meaning of this change. Could it be the lull before the storm or is it just another example of normal robot evolution? To help obtain more conclusive evidence; RDI, in conjunction with the Calyponian authorities, is sponsoring a grand search entitled 'Operation Scarecrow'. The scientists at RDI are interested in a few specialized robot parts and are offering a reward for their acquisition. Please refer to the table, below, for a list which items are of interest to RDI and the reward being offered for each type. To help facilitate this effort; an RDI clerk, Trob Tedser, will be available in Atlas Haven near the teleporter. Please refer to the schedule, below, for his availability. To collect the reward, one only needs to initiate a trade with Mr. Tedser. Give him the requested items and the corresponding rewards will be immediately delivered."
