Lucius Pterodactylus Augustus and Pompeiia Signum Quintum
Lucius Pterodactylus Augustus (left) was created at the height of the Roman Empire. He was created as a super weapon, to help conquer the world. He was extremely effective, and was constantly conquering. While he was conquering, however, the Roman Empire fell. No one told Lucius.
Lucius went on conquering and terrorizing Asia (where he was deployed) until about 1840. In 1840, after meeting Mikhail Gorbachev, he got in touch with the internets. Wikipedia told him everything he needed to know, including the fact that his beloved empire had fallen long ago.
With the knowledge that his military career was over, he set out to do the only logical thing: get himself a wife. Unfortunately for Lucius, he was the only one of his kind that had not been destroyed. His uplink with the internet allowed him great insight into how to make a robot, and thus, he set out to do the only logical thing: make himself a wife.
This was how Pompeiia Signum Quintum was created. He had learned greatly from the other four versions (responsible for, respectively: The Tunguska Event, The Titanic, The Hindenberg and the Chernobyl Disaster.) He was determined to create the perfect wife. And Pompeiia was perfect. Except for the mild programming error where whenever she hears the word "fish" she goes on a rampage and attacks all the tall men with mustaches in a five-mile radius. And also the fact that if she gets low on power she seeks out human blood. And the fact that she spontaneously shoots missiles out of her forehead.
For Allie, my sister.
