The Takahashi clan had always been manufacturers. Puppets, weapons, and armours. They always had a particular school and train of thought when it came to the former more so than the latter. Never create a human puppet. It was one of those things that had been the greatest taboo in the family line, and no Takahashi ever broke that one rule, or crossed that line. There were those that did, and more importantly Sousuke had known one to do so. It repulsed him, and caused him a great deal of stress. Tampering with the human mind and placing it in a puppet was something that disturbed him greatly. It terrified him and was one of those things that gnawed at him in the back of his head.
Recently there were disturbing reports that his R&D materials were being lifted. Through a thorough inventory check and discovery, yes indeed his R&D was being poached. More disturbing it was alot of his father's works and devices that were being taken. To what end? That caused Sousuke to become worrisome. After having the matter investigated, rumors dispelled and other matters attended to, Sousuke had the thief and his facility visited by one of his own. What Naoki found was something that troubled Sousuke. Indeed pieces of his father's old wares and some of his older wares were discovered and brought back. More troubling was the discovery of a Human Puppet that was functioning.
The Kazekage had it brought back. No, not it, it was a he? It was identified as a male, brought into Sungakure for a massive metal spec. The report? Dr. Shikara had revealed that there was no sign of brainwashing or mental tampering. She recommended a supervisor. That was reasonable. What was unreasonable was the request to visit her. Was she right that his frustrations and what had happened to him over the last few years weighed him down? Yes. The amount of problems Sousuke had to deal with was comparable to that foreign figure called Atlas who had to carry the world upon his shoulders. Well, maybe something like that but not the world, it may have been the world though considering the fact that Ancients had returned and would probably want to destroy humanity.
That was not what was today about. Today was about interacting with one of the many things that kept him up at night. Not necessarily the person, but the concept it was. Sousuke had summoned the automaton -- no Rensuke to meet him outside of the Kazekage tower. Sousuke was outside running laps around the Kazekage tower in his black and white armour. As per his usual he was trying to keep himself healthy, despite being exhausted mentally. It seemed like at times a black blur was running around the tower.
