The AGGAP and the Tamed Beast

(The following is based on my roleplays with .)

The Advanced Gatling Groink Attached Probe, or AGGAP, is a machine built by Dexter back when a fleet of Mimins (rabbit-like aliens that PikminHensley invented) tried to take over PNF-404. Hence its name, the AGGAP is attached to one of the Gatling Groinks in Subterranean Complex. By connecting itself to the Groink's nervous system, the AGGAP has almost complete control over him. However, Gatling Groinks are really the only creatures the AGGAP can control, as they are the only half-machine organisms it can connect to (Dexter tried connecting it to the Man-at-Legs in Subterranean Complex, but it wasn't "fleshy" enough for him to put it on.) The AGGAP's first mission was originally to help Charles test the Gatling Groink's fire-power by sending him into a cavern where a dangerous Pikmin, the Nega Pikmin (a Pikmin created by Hensley), rested. However, the mission was immediately postponed as Capt. PiK (another one of PikminHensly's charaters) didn't approve of it. At all. The AGGAP's current purpose now is to help the Gatling Groink with his new job: patrolling Valley of Repose and making sure no dangerous foreigner, such as a dangerous Mimin, makes its way into Subterranean Complex, let alone the valley itself.

The AGGAP is equipped with several instruments and functions. It has an antenna mainly used to contact the SPERO, a radar dish for making radar scans (obviously), a teleporter, and the function to temporarily shrink the Gatling Groink, which is mainly used to help him enter caves (Most cave entrances are pretty dang small, you know.XD) The AGGAP can also read the Gatling Groink's thoughts, which is very convenient when Charles and his pack want to communicate with it. Recently, Dexter upgraded the AGGAP with an extra antenna that can communicate with Captain PiK and Charles' other interstellar friends. It also has a new homing laser to help the Gatling Groink shoot things more accurately, but that'll be explained later. I should also mention that the AGGAP's power comes from both a battery charged by the SPERO and from the heat radiating from the Gatling Groink's own body.
The Gatling Groink whom the AGGAP is attached to is also unique in his own ways. Ever since he was tamed, he developed a very calm, friendly, and somewhat quiet personality. This is mainly shown when he's not doing his daily patrol or any other activity that might require an aggressive attitude. He is also very fond and protective of Dexter, as Dexter is his master after all.  The Gatling Groink also has a voice, which can only be projected by the AGGAP. Recently, the Gatling Groink's fire-power was upgraded after Dexter installed a special device onto his gun and ammunition stock pile. By sending electricity through the Groink's body, the AGGAP can allow the device to increase the Gatling Groink's shooting rate, making him as deadly and agressive as a Man-at-Legs. When he's in this aggressive mode, the AGGAP will also help him target more enemies quickly by shooting a red homing laser at his targets one-after-another, similar to the way a Man-at-Legs would shoot its targets.
Oddly enough, Charles and Dexter have yet to give the tamed Gatling Groink a name, so they just call it "[their] domesticated Gatling Groink."
