#11: X-LEX

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/4/7/AAblU3AAD03D.jpg

I don't have the updated gauntlet on my laptop yet so you get the BIGGER PICTURE.

X-LEX is a super cute cool little beaked robot that we encountered on The Auctioneer's ship when the Auctioneer so rudely tried to steal Radio Tuner from us. He also captured the leader of Throneworld so we had double reasons to infiltrate and try and set things right.

Though, when we encountered X-LEX he was still working for the auctioneer, and we had to force him to help us through the ship, as well as release a bunch of the captives and treasures that the auctioneer had on said ship. It was a pretty fun session that went SUPER long (5 and a half hours I think?), but X-LEX was definitely the highlight for me.

You only have yourself to blame for this scar if you give us a cute little robot that talks funny. Of course I'm going to latch myself on to it and protect it with my life.

Well... I'll try at least.

During our adventures through the auctioneer's ship, X-LEX slowly began to figure out that the auctioneer was making BAD deals... lies if you would, and X-LEX wouldn't stand for that... and as I predicted, I knew he would want to try and sacrifice himself to take him down. The writing was on the wall and despite Data 7 trying his best, X-LEX ended up taking himself down with the ship so that we could all get out and the citizens below wouldn't be harmed either.

Thankfully that wouldn't be the end of things as we would return to Throneworld's depths and... due to Brennus and Data 7 being on the mission, a bunch of incredibly dangerous captives would be released back into the world... but more importantly, X-LEX's broken body would be recovered as well...

It wouldn't be that easy though.

The Grim Accounting was there and was like hey bro, you can't just take this robot, he was supposed to die here so now you gotta make a bad deal. And Data 7 is like, heck yeah, I make bad deals all the time, have I told you about that one where I helped Mister Mind get back home and now Lashina wants me to kill Superman?

So now Data 7 has to harvest the soul of the Anti-Monitor in exchange for X-LEX.

Problem is, you don't exactly argue with The Grim Accounting, and Data 7 wasn't about to just let his friend die like that and so BOOM, next bad deal made.

X-LEX is back on Oa now and has been fixed up by Stel the ROBOT. Problem is, when he finally gets booted back up, he's likely not even going to want to continue existing, preferring to be shut down so uh... yeah, we'll see how THAT goes.

Either way, I really really enjoyed the little bits of X-LEX we've gotten and he really brought that session together for me. We'll see what happens next though, it definitely sounds like an uphill battle... even after promising to harvest the soul of the Anti-Monitor and Data 7 will die in 30 days if he doesn't :weary:

Hint for #10:

This character has a very low knowledge stat.
