A veteran fighter,
Cosette has become
cautious, defencivem and
bitter after being
crippled in the arena.
Fifteen years ago, a sport called The Arena was the most popular event
of the day. Similar to HAR's, The Arena placed humans INTO a robot
frame, usually ten or fifteen meters in height. The Arena players used
various controls to fight their opponents while the crowd looked on.
Cossette fought in The Arena until a tragic accident left her crippled
from the waist down. Now she enjoys the feeling the HAR gives her, and
her success in designing two space stations has given her the
possibility of Ganymede. Cossette also was instrumental in the design
of Electra, a 'bot designed from an electromagnetic crystal found on
Venus.
Cossette is very bitter about her injury, since so many have treated her
as inferior since the accident. She is still very defensive in combat,
but should never be underestimated.
Single players quotes:
Why don't you go home and hide under the covers?
Huh? I'll show you!
Even paralyzed, i am stronger than you.
Babe, you are nothin' but sparks.
Ganymede will soon be mine!
You'll have to get past me, first.
With your mind so troubled, you cannot win.
My hatred will be my strength.
We shall see who laughs last.
Your injury was to your body. You have moved it to your mind.
Now you will see a real mind in action.
Yes, after i reply your defeat.
Your legs won't help you in this contest!
Please, your injury has nothing to do with this fight.
If you have no experience on these machines, why are you here?
For Ganymede, I must be victorious.
I am guaranteed to win.
Yes, but which one!
Perhaps you can be my bodyguard after i win...
I am bodyguard only as long as it suits my purpose.
You called me weak once. You will never do it again.
Your injury was tragic. Too bad you didn't stay down.

You awaken in your own body. For a few moments,
you come down from the adrenaline high you've
experienced. Your body seems so frail now. The
team is already celebrating, and you welcome
their congratulations.
The time to party is short-lived. Your mind
takes in the last few hours events and the
knowledge that an entire moon is now yours yo
command.
"Wait a sec!" comes a paniking voice from a
vidmonitor. "Everyone! Listen!" he turns up
the volume and everyone in the room is quiet.
"...was found dead today. We repeat, Hans
Kreissack's body was found at 18:00 hours
tonight in a garbage bin outside the Nova
labratories."
Everyone is holding their breath as the news
reporter continues. "We have been handled this
notice that was to be read when Kreissack won
the fight tonight. It reads:"
"Notice to all humans: A new day has begun!
Nova, a project started by WAR., will give new
life! This process can take a human brain and
place it inside a robotic body."
"What you saw tonight was me, Hans Kreissack,
directly connected to a new form of H.A.R. The
human race will now see its ultimate evolution!"
The announcer lays down the digipad containing
the message. "Tragically, all the scientists close
to the project have been killed in a fire which
broke out shortly after the last match tonight.
All records of the Nova project were destroyed."
"In other news..."
A crew member switches the display off. "Well,
looks like we'll be lookin' for a new boss
now..."

Of course you won. That old fool never
understood your abilities. And he paid for his
mistake, didn't he.
Immediatelly you assign what engineers you can
muster to finding out how Kreissack was able to
successfully place his brain inside a machine.
How wonderfull it would be to finally say
good-bye to this chair and spend eternity in the
perfect body of a robot. You look down at the
scribbling and design specifications for the
Cossette robot.
"I will soon walk again." you say, "and then i
will see what kind of WAR president i can
make..."
