Robocop's nemesis ED-209!
Now for some spooky history...
* The organization I once worked with has a 3-ininitial monogram that is almost the same as OCP.
* It was co-founded by a former Detroit cop.
* He was canned ("retired") and the #2 took over.
* The #2 essentially self-destructed while the company nearly tanked.
* It recruits police officers. (Spooky music ensues)
* It recruited, and tested an up-standing officer named Murphy. (Spooky music gets louder).
* Murphy became famous as a national hero after being in a situation with his body getting bullet-riddled and barely surviving. (Spooky music gets louder still).
* It's chief programmer is an expert in AI, in the process of creating cyborg technology and other AI stuff! (SPOOKY MUSIC)
And ... (crescendo) HE'S ALMOST HERE!
