I made screen shots of the entire site... there should be 28 of them

i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr169/echoeternal/9experiment29.jpgIt's a hobbit telling us about 9, the others are the trailers and clips we already know about. This is the thing movie thing from the far right of the lab.

Of the Chancellor
Dear Comrade,
Throughout the Great World War, our glorious nation has towered over the globe as the defining symbol of power and progress. Thanks to the focused and organized efforts of our military forces, the War ended, and the world sees itself in a state of rebirth.
Ten years after the War, we must employ new methods to cleanse our planet of its scars. And on this day it is clear to me that the path to peace, prosperity, and a leisurely life for the citizens of our Nation is through technology.
Technology that will build. Technology that will create. Technology that will learn, improve, and grow.
I am pleased to extend state funding to your Automaton research, scientist. Make us proud.
-The Chancellor

Throughout the Great World War, the Republic and our Chancellor have stood as unwavering symbols of leadership. And in the capable hands of that leadership, we see ourselves in the light of a new era.
Yet the world has changed. Forever. I would not be so foolishly presumptuous as to believe this is something you don't already feel in your daily lives. A teetering global economy, the residual fear of violence across borders, all underscored by the scars of the Great World War; the burdens of today's civilians reach farther than a man such as myself can fathom. I can only hope to make a positive impact on this world by helping the Chancellor steer our damaged ship towards a better horizon.
i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr169/echoeternal/9experiment15.jpgI am pleased to announce the launch of the B.R.A.I.N. project. At its core, the B.R.A.I.N. (Binary Reactive Artificially Intelligent Neurocircuit) will be an advanced automaton, capable of powering a vast array of machines designed to improve our lives. Although this goal may take months, even years to accomplish, the implications of this peaceful invention are astounding.
As always, I will continue to communicate with you through this channel, but 9Experiment.com will prove a more thorough look at my work.
A few points to note before heading over:
* I write in my RESEARCH JOURNAL quite frequently. Taking detailed notes is a necessity in my life, making me a creature of habit I suppose.
* The FILM BOX will archive moving pictures relating to my developments.
* I also keep my most important DOCUMENTS in a custom viewing aparatus. You may go there now for a peek at some of the designs that helped me secure the grant.
The journey towards a better future has begun.
Regards,

i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr169/echoeternal/9experiment16.jpgBefore becoming a scientist, I was a toymaker, one of the most fulfilling lines of work a tinkerer like myself can immerse himself in. Watching the details of my designs come to life, and in turn put a smile on somebody's face, was nothing short of magical.
Yet advancements in Automata over the last few years have piqued my creative impulses in ways I've never felt. As it relates to the B.R.A.I.N., I am (at the risk of sounding overly dramatic) almost scared of technology's potential. The pure processing power alone is shocking; my research points to a machine of nearly perfect intellect... a self-aware entity, reactionary to its environment, and capable of learning new tasks. A thing of intellectual beauty.
But what about physical beauty? All that processing power doesn't mean I can simply leave my toymaker ways behind. Here's a recent sketch I was working on today for the surface of the B.R.A.I.N.'s housing. I don't want to get too ahead of myself with these designs, but as a toymaker, sometimes the allure of form overtakes function.

i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr169/echoeternal/9experiment17.jpgThis morning finds me nothing short of flabbergasted. Yesterday I completed my regular daily analysis of the B.R.A.I.N., preparing it for some simple dexterity and development tests I would run overnight. I had also temporarily connected a makeshift grappling arm to the core to run some rudimentary motor-skill activities while I was away... these tests are akin to the infant behavior development tests for 6-12 month olds. After programming the B.R.A.I.N. to complete a 3 step action sequence, I went home.
When I returned to the lab today, I found that the B.R.A.I.N. had completed the test (quite an accomplishment). It had successfully placed triangular shapes in their respective holes, square blocks in their holes, etc.
However, the B.R.A.I.N. had also used the few spare mechanical parts on the ground within a 3 foot radius (approximately the length of its makeshift grappling arm) to build a new attachment device. It proceeded to affix this device to the power core and create a new port in the housing; now the B.R.A.I.N has two functioning arms. It is of note that the second appendage has more articulation points in its "fingers", making it superior in design to the arm I built.
I am overjoyed, proud, and cautiously optimistic that my research is yielding even greater results than I had hoped. We are ahead of schedule!

i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr169/echoeternal/9experiment18.jpgThe B.R.A.I.N. is operational. Of course, I say this with a healthy degree of cautious optimism... it still needs a comprehensive series of tests before moving into the next phase.
If I had to summarize my feelings at this very moment, two words that spring to mind are 'pride' and 'awe'. You see, today the B.R.A.I.N. made a leap that I had never foreseen; it built another automaton.
Yes! What a magnificent moment for mankind. The autonomous creation of a miniature machine may be a small step, but its potential for changing the world is a giant leap.
Tomorrow I will begin the next phase of rigorous testing.

i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr169/echoeternal/9experiment19.jpgMore of these posters are finding their way onto the streets these days... I find this image quite inspiring.
i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr169/echoeternal/9experiment21.jpgApparently there must be a negative response to every positive occurrence in this world.
After the announcement two days ago of my achievement, it seems that a group of citizens proudly calling themselves Rebels have spread their anti-technology vitriol around the city, specifically targeting the Chancellor, the B.R.A.I.N., and me.
I am all for a healthy debate, but why have so much resistance to progress? This machine has the potential to reshape our social, economic and political landscape.
Yet these people feel that the B.R.A.I.N. somehow impedes upon the working class' ability to secure jobs, earn a decent living, provide for their families.
I don't want to speak prematurely, or for the Chancellor, but I am sure he will not appreciate this defacing of government issued documentation.

I'll post what each thing is and the words too small to read in a bit
I'm going to go watch a movie with my dad for now
