Arnold



Designation: Set 11, Arnold
Model: AL - 112811
Series: Toshinaga
Type: Autonomous Logistical
Description: Air cooled partially organic bilaterian electronic brain system, capable of exerting centralized control over up to 12 individual tactical units. Quadrupedal mobility system. Twin hardwired standard type optical sensory package.
Notes: Hive-mind technologies are the logical solution to the often convoluted problems of logistic communications. One central brain simultaneously controlling multiple units with the same ease a single automaton requires to perform simple tasks like walking. Arnold cannot control as many units as some, such as Wilbur, but his light frame and high mobility make him a valuable asset in small scale operations.

Wilbur

 
 
 
Designation: November - Set  04, "Wilbur."
Model: AS - 042111
Series: Sadayuki
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Hexapod mobile hive-mind. 300 meter optimal range, capable of channeling and coordinating 72 individual electronic entities.
Notes: In spite of appearing like an enlarged dust mite, Wilbur has become the criterial mobile hive mind for combat operations. Hive-minds notoriously function within a state of self-induced dissociative identity disorder. This can cause problems if the unit is channeling a single personality more dominate than the others. Wilbur avoids such deterring influences by maintaining a parasitic presence within each mind he coordinates, ready to subliminally direct their consciousness.
