Price

 
 
 
Designation: Tango - Set  03, "Price."
Model: AR - 033111
Series: Tadamasa
Type: Autonomous Reconnaissance
Description: Flight enabled bird emulator. Small frame, ultra-lightweight composite chassis. Powered by three externally mounted rectenna (rectifying antenna) panels, requiring a C-Brown series phased array microwave transmitter. One pectoral mountedf tri-phase optical, x-ray, and thermal recording device.
Notes: Contrary to what could be inferred by Tadamasa's initial advertising campaign, Price's bird-like appearance is more an endearing likeness than any sort of an attempt at biomimetic camouflage. He is really not designed to operate in any sort of stealth capacity.

Designation: Sierra - Set  03, "Toby."
Model: AT - 033011
Series: Yoshifusa
Type: Autonomous Domestic Support
Description: Bipedal servant type.
Notes: Toby washes dishes.

Oswald




Designation: Romeo - Set  03, "Oswald."
Model: AT - 032911
Series: Tadakiyo
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Mobile electronic isolation and sensory deprivation unit. Direct manual link-up via fluctuating impulse microwave pulse. Lightweight plastic construction. Enclosed tri-shielded hepta-core 1.5 petaflop supercomputer.
Notes: Oswald specializes in accessing hostile electronic brains, commandeering their sensory function, and then hopelessly miring them within complex logic driven altered reality simulations.

Clara




Designation: Quebec - Set  03, "Clara."
Model: SAT - 032811
Series: Yoshikuni
Type: Special Autonomous Tactical
Description: Special application black-ops weapons platform. Single integrated pulse function neural disruption device. Direct focus aggression actuator.
Notes: It is said that in war the human mind is the greatest weapon. This is of course utter nonsense. Especially considering Clara's primary weapon effectively renders the neurons within a biological brain incapable of transmitting electronic information. In battle this is useful not only to incapacitate enemy combatants, but also to create chaos and distress within their personnel infrastructure.

Wilhelm




Designation: Papa - Set  03, "Wilhelm."
Model: AS - 032711
Series: Nagayuki
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Hexapod insectile frame. Six externally mounted rectenna panels individually committed to isolated primary and secondary functions. Twin sonic pulse non-invasive diagnostic probes.
Notes: Wilhelm has the ability to use reverberating sound waves to generate three-dimensional models of internal structures without invasive diagnostic probing. While he is able to fabricate imagery of physical details down to near atomic minutia, the residual audio dissonance can be disconcerting to human personal.

Oliver


 
 
 
Designation: Oscar - Set  03, "Oliver."
Model: AT - 032611
Series: Suyetsugu
Type: Autonomous Tactical
Description: Ultra-light weight assault chassis. Minimal nano-tube armor.  230Hp dual rotor, laser driven, gyroscopic flight pack. Powered by six externally mounted rectenna (rectifying antenna) panels, requiring a C-Brown series phased array microwave transmitter.  Proficient in small arms tactics. External payload maximum capacity of 25kgs.
Notes: Oliver's energy requirements indeed limit his range, but his inexpensive production costs have earned him a place in established urban fields of operation.

Clarence





Designation: November - Set  03, "Clarence."
Model: SH - 032511
Series: Nagakiyo
Type: Symbiotic Hybrid
Description: Weapon slaved combat frame and autonomous entity. Symbiotic target referencing system. Single arm mechanized automated firing direction assistance.
Notes: Without question, the lines between Clarence, the weapon he is slaved to, and the operator utilizing him become virtually indistinguishable during combat operations. He is fully capable of operating the mechanical firing guide without direction, leaving his driver to focus on alternate tasks, or secondary fire with his free hand.
