Although this site is about eggman, we thought it only fair to have a page devoted to Gerald. This page contains all his inventions, including his last few diary entries.

"I don't quite know what happened, or what went wrong. Was it a mistake to create the Ultimate Life Form? I thought it would be something that would benefit mankind... But then the military guards landed on the Colony that day. They were sent to destroy the research project that I had been working on. My colleagues at the research facility, my granddaughter Maria, I hope you are all safe. The colony was completely shut down, probably to prevent the prototype from falling into the wrong hands.The ARK was shut down under the premise that there had been an 'accident'. I found Maria's name among those who died when the ARK was shut down. She meant everything to me! And I couldn't bear the thought that she died because of my research. I lost everything! I had nothing more to live for! I went insane! All I could think about, was to avenge her! Somehow, someway, I got scared as I no longer was able to control my thoughts. All I could think about, was that I wanted it all to end. Based on my original projections, I was able to complete my project; Shadow. I designed its mind to be perfect, pure... I will leave everything, to him. If you wish, release and awaken it to the world. If you wish to fill the world with destruction"

This is the remaining entries of Gearld's diary obtained thanks to numbuh 128bit

-Entry #1
        "I have uncovered a most interesting specimen from the warehouse. I be-
lieve it is some sort of puppet or robot made by ancient people. At first, I
didn't think anything of it, but when I was experimanting on a 'Chaos Emerald'/
it began to move. This suggests the possibility that even the anciemt civiliza-
tions could harness the power of the 'Chaos Emeralds'.
        When I was researching various papera related to the power of the
'Chaos Emeralds' and this robot, I discovered that there was a possibility
that this robot was something incredible. I don't want to get ahead of myself,
but this robot may be the cause of the Fourth Great Civilization. I'm not sure
I belive it just yet, though."
 
-Entry #2
        "I am no longer able to ingore the possibility that this robot did in
fact destroy the Fourth Great Civilization. I have discovered a stone tablet
that explains as much. According to the tablet, 'When the figure falls from the
heavens, and the Stone of the Gods is joined, all that exists will become one
again.' Though it is difficult to believe, this robot has been watching my
movements, and mimicking all that I do.
        I was amazed by my scans of this being. Suprisingly, reams and reams of
data scrolled and causes my most powerful computer to crash. More intriguing
was that the data was all about melee combat and weapons of that age. Event-
ually, if this being is ever restored to it's former state, it will put all
that data to use, and recreate all the weaponry and combat abilities that it
once had... And that's not all. If my guesses are correct, it will also have
the ability to absorb modern weaponry as well. What have I done? I have un-
covered a horrible weapon."
 
-Entry #3
        "I now understand why this being was named 'Gizoid'. In the ancient
tongue, it meant 'everything'. According to the stone tablet, if the Gizoid
establishes a 'link' with someone, the Gizoid will swear loyalty to that per-
son. Perhaps it still lacks 'Chaos Emerald' energy, but it has still been say-
ing the word 'Link' to me in broken tones. It went on to explain, 'Show me your
true strength and I shall obey. I am all things, and all shall belong to me.'
So as it suggested, I brought before it my collection of model guns, and freed
them all. Then, suddenly, it said, 'I shall follow your every command, and ne-
ver leave your side.' And since then, it refuses to listen to anyone but me.
While it still remains under my control, at least it won't be used for evil.
However, if someone with evil intentions ever forms a 'Link' with the Gizoid...
I don't even want to think about what will happen. I must research how one can
can re-establish a 'Link' with the Gizoid."
 
-Entry #4
        "The upper echeion is going crazy. Perhaps they aim to freeze Project
'Shadow'. Soon the ultimate life form, 'Shadow' will be completed... The appli-
cation to my grandaughter is also innocent. I cannot just let them stop my study
at this point. Because I am the only on who can save my granddaughter's life."
 
-Entry #5
        "The higher ups are threatening to shut down this research facility. I
had no choice but to hand them the Gizoid to buy more time for my research. I
tried to be careful and commanded it to never absorb any dangerous technolo-
gies. However, I have heard that other researchers have been makng the Gizoid
absorb weapons. Apparently, the way to cause the Gizoid to form a new 'Link' is
to show it power that surpasses any of it's former master. While this poses
immense danger, I cannot risk losing Maria."
 
-Entry #6
        "My worst fears have come true. The Gizoid has absorbed enough weaponry
and technology that it has started to go out of control. The resulting rampage
resulted in the destruction of most of the 'Ark.'
        ...I have deciphered the rest of the stone tablet. It says, 'When the
Gizoid had all that could, it became a god of wrath, and all was destroyed.'
The researchers somehow managed  to subdue the Gizoid and sealed it away. Luck-
-ily, it only had one 'Chaos Emerald' installed. If it were to have all 7 Em-
eralds installed, it might destroy the whole planet. The Gizoid is too much of
a liability. I tried destroying it's core, but nothing I did worked. I under-
stand too little of the technology that built him. My best hope is to try and
reprogram it's AI into a free-willed, emotions-based AI..."
 
-Entry #7
        "I have heard there was an accident at the research facility... ... ...
Everything...Everything is gone. My own Maria's name was among the list of
casualties. My beloved granddaughter...They tell me her parting words were
'Bring hope to humanity.'
        I have decided that the keyword to activate the Gizoid's free-willed
emotions-based AI program will be those very words. 'Bring hope to all human-
ity.' My poor, poor Maria..."
 
-Entry #8
        "A heritage of the past I dug out, 'Gizoid'...And the ultimate life
form I created with my own hands, Shadow... I have equipped both with a
'heart.'
        If all powers are not what is to be obtained for oneself, but what is
to be born from hearts that yearn for someone, I believe all conflicts should
cease to exist.
        Please...If there is anyone listening to my prayers... bring hope to
humanity."

The ARK is a large Space Station designed by Proffeser Gerald Robotnick. It carries the face of Gerald on it's underside, with the nose being the Eclipse Cannon. It has several buildings on its underside and as seen in the level Mad Space and the stage select screen, smaller stations built on asteroids orbitting it. It is completly sphereical above the face. According to Shadow on Sonic Adventure 2, it contains several weapons of mass destruction, yet the only one ever mentioned is the eclipse cannon. In its core is a large watery sector with a fake emerald shrine so as to harness the power of the Chaos and Master emeralds.

“Not many people know that the ARK was a top secret research facility where weapons of mass destruction were being created. This is one of them. A weapon capable of destroying an entire planet, code-named, The Eclipse Cannon.” These words of shadow still ring in eggman’s ears, always reminding him of his last ace in the hole.

            The eclipse cannon is a large energy cannon situated in the nose of the ARK. It can supposedly destroy planets at its maximum power, but has yet to destroy anything bigger than a large, living comet. It’s power comes from the chaos emeralds and needs 6 to even destroy half of the moon. The idea that it can destroy a planet with seven is close to absurd, however, certain hints so it can gain energy from more than just the 7 emeralds. In Sonic Adventure 2, when Sonic and Knuckles try to stop the emeralds, there is a area built for the master emerald. This shows that to destroy a planet it might be necessary to own all the chaos emeralds and the master emerald.
