Incident Report[]
This set of six M.A.R.A (Maintenance And Repair Automatons) was brought into the Warehouse to aid GD CEO Douglas Fargo during an approved upgrade and systems check of Warehouse 13's computer systems. While in the town of Eureka the droids are used primarily for accessing difficult to reach areas to perform repair work, under the control of the recently awoken Hugo-1 system, they were able to repurpose their tools to cause harm. Nets for catching vermin, saws for cutting cables and blowtorches for welding became lethal weapons under the control of the AI, until it was safely deactivated.
Some M.A.R.As were damaged in the scuffle but four remained intact. Due to the severity of the AIs influence on their programming, they still followed their orders to harm and could not be reprogrammed. Because there were hundreds more at GD, Mr. Fargo decided to simply leave them at the Warehouse where they could be properly stored.
