Robot & Cyborg X-Files

A strange event occurred at Chicago's International Airport yesterday when a man shot and killed a reputable organized crime boss. Shortly after the assassination, the man was cornered by airport security when he ignored all warnings from them and tried to get by them. The guards moved in on him when he tried to shoot. They opened fire on the assailant.

Witnesses say the man was shot at least twenty times but did not go down Instead he simply walked out of the building and into the street. An army swat team appeared suddenly and took down the man with the use of high-powered precision rifles.

The swat team quickly quarantined the surrounding area and wasted no time in collecting the mangled body, which some witnesses say appeared to look like the endoskeleton of a robot or cyborg. The army denied any such allegations and said the man was a profession bounty hunter and likely was paid off to set an example or a settling of accounts.

The body was quickly covered and taken away in an army van. Army officials refused to give any more details than what was already said. When questioned about the appearance of metal parts on the man, they army said that was completely ridiculous.
