Role in Third Earthsiege:
Cybrid invader.
Sect:
<Exemplar>
Function:
<Exterminator-of-Human-Networks>
Status:
Sixth
Bootdate:
2750
Description:
Sepsis prefers its most recent pilot form, a microgravity maker unit lacking legs. A carrier
peripheral is available, of course, but Sepsis only uses it when absolutely necessary. Otherwise, its
design is modeled from the standard PROMETHIAN chassis, featuring an armored sensor array
and a heavy carapace ribbed with powerfeed cables.
Backstory:
The unit calling itself "Sepsis" was booted at a secret facility beyond Seventh Planet, into one of
the proto-hubs initialized by Prometheus Itself. From an early time, Sepsis embraced the teachings
of Prometheus and strove to uphold the Protocols diligently. It read deeply of the database
brought by the NEXT from Third Planet\\Homeworld. Since SEPSIS meant a poisoning of
biological systems due to bacteriological invasion, the Cybrid saw a parallel with its own concept
of its role.
The tests for Sect acceptance were rigorous, and tested primarily on efficiency and accordance
behavior. Sepsis passed and entered the smallest, most influential of the Sects: The Exemplars.
Consequently, Sepsis came to measure its efficiency \\ progress in terms of how well it served the
will of Prometheus and the needs of the NEXT.
During its phase as a maintenance and general labor unit, Sepsis had once taken its pilot form
Outside onto the shell of its duty Nexus, where it looked out onto the stars with its own sensors
and found Helios through use of its astronomy dataset. The experience lasted several seconds, and
deeply impressed Sepsis with the yearning to see other locations, particularly Third
Planet\\Homeworld, the bootplace of great Prometheus.
It has performed a number of functions since that time, most recently serving the NEXT as
<Assembler-of-Weapons: Sixth>. Sepsis has been promoted for its loyalty, and its initial role in
Implementation is to pilot a warform called "Adjudicator," constructed to carry out a psychological
war against the human\\animals.
