Les

































Designation: Set  06, "Les."
Model
: AS - 070711
Series: Mitsuhira
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Non-humanoid small frame flying type. Twin condensed high intensity laser lifts. Non-Newtonian liquid nano-hive brain.
Notes: As mankind becomes increasingly reliant on technology--automatons and otherwise--there is thought that the human ability to rationally assess and react to cause and effect environments will inevitably deteriorate. Les was developed as an attempt to deter this eventuality. He is essentially a floating practical behavior adviser.

Orville

































Designation: Set  06, "Orville."
Model: ARG - 070611
Series: Okisano
Type: Autonomous Resource Gatherer
Description: Decapodal underwater chassis. Forward mounted twin multi-jointed primary collection tentacles. Mass compressed gas storage.
Notes: Harvesting methane crystal deposits on the ocean floor has done much to relieve the growing energy needs of the most recent robotic revolution. With the majority of terrestrial power stations now fueled by refined methane, any automaton with a battery can rely on Orville to keep them fully charged, if indirectly.

Lucy

































Designation: Set  06, "Lucy."
Model: SAS - 070511
Series: Okisano
Type: Special Autonomous Support
Description: Light-weight, high-mobility Quick-step type chassis. Full spectrum optical scanning modules. Quad phase remote diagnostics sensory array. Dual burst-jack end of arm tooling.
Notes: Light on her feet, Lucy can easily slip in close to a malfunctioning automaton and deactivate it, either remotely, or through direct contact. Her direct contact approach can typically bypass even 3rd generation EMP shielding.

Jethro

































Designation: Set  05, "Jethro."
Model: AD - 070411
Series: Kanemichi
Type: Autonomous Demolition
Description: Lightweight non-humanoid Raptor type chassis.
Notes:

Elmer

































Designation: Set  05, "Elmer."
Model: AS - 070311
Series: Tsuguhira
Type: Autonomous Support
Description: Heavy bipedal frame with articulated titanium endoskeletal system.
Notes: Although lumbering and slow, Elmer manages heavy weapons installments with the finesse of a master craftsman.

Sebastian

































Designation: Set  05, "Sebastian."
Model: AL - 070211
Series: Yasusada
Type: Autonomous Logistical
Description: Non-humanoid light-weight insectile frame. Hover flight enabled via quad hyper vibrating nano-tube mesh wings. Specialized waste management protocol.
Notes: Needless to say, Bruce and Sebastian do not work well together.

Bruce

































Designation: Set  06, "Bruce."
Model: AL - 070111
Series: Kanemaki
Type: Autonomous Logistical
Description: Non-humanoid lightweight frame, with quick lift auto-legs. Wide angle ultra high definition optical receivers. On-board Degen physical reflex amplifier. Dual mode amphibious operating protocol. Top loading internal plasma combustion incinerator.
Notes: Bruce hunts, kills, and disposes of a wide variety of vermin. There is unlikely a pest alive who can escape his stunning reflexes, or subsequently his plasma combustion incinerator. Incapable of flight, he still manages to ascend to the necessary heights of his profession on a pair of powerful auto-legs. And although he is not above stooping to snatch insectile nuisances, such as ant or cockroaches, his primary function tends to better serve avian intruders, like geese or pigeons from airfields.
