[Episode 18344] [Episode 18344]Outside the building, an unmarked van pulled up.
One of the people inside looked to the other. "Are you sure we should be doing this?"
His confederate shrugged from where he crouched, fiddling with a control pad on what looked like a metal coffin. "The higher-ups want some practical data before 'Lord Thunder' makes his move. They're going to release the main units then. And they want to be sure that those units can do the job. All we have here is the prototype."
The first person nodded. "Sure, I get that. I just don't want to be anywhere near this thing when it activates. I mean, as a last measure, isn't it supposed to explode and then release a nerve gas?"
The other snorted. "This prototype doesn't have that fail-safe installed. Or a cooling system for that matter. Its circuits will melt down within an hour. Less if it gets a good workout." He pressed one final key. "Okay, its ready. We dump this and move out. It wakes up in about four minutes..."
The driver pressed a button. The back of the van opened up, and the coffin slid out. Then he put the petal to the metal. No suicide weapons or not, he didn't want to be near that robot when it was active!

Inside, the conference was just getting started. Peter wondered if officials the world over had the same basic speech writer. Just change the names and dates to something recent, it seemed.
He was chuckling to himself imagining a Mad-Lib speech when his spider-sense went into overdrive. Then the screams started.
The entrance into the conference room practically flew open, as the body of a guard was thrown through it. The man was obviously dead, what with the fist sized hole all the way through his body.
Then it came. It was obviously a robot, made vaguely feminine in appearance. It was plated in a white armor, and even had some white hair. One of its arms was covered in blood.
For a moment, nobody moved. The robot slowly scanned the room. Then its left eye flashed. And people began dying, cut in two from the laser it shot.
Peter managed to rush behind some curtains, already pulling off his regular clothes, exposing the outfit beneath.
Time for Spider-Man to take action!
