Futureshock:2o5o>Drones...


Another in a series of updates for the Futureshock:2o5o realm. This heading will serve to cover any form of automaton or "drone" featured in the story-verse. I hope you enjoy...


(Warning: May Contain Adult Themes)




"Dr.Foo", EFU (Emergency Field Operations Drone)




"Only the Techs call it 'Doctor Foo'. The rest of us lovingly refer to the thing as 'little f***er', quite frankly..."
--Dr. Lexington G. Gordon, (1996-2050), XENO Project Founder / Teams Director














Manufacturer: Asaka Industries
Make / Model: Sr-6 HM (Hyper-Medical) / EFU-2 (Field Operations and Orderly )
Common Name: EFU, Ee-Foo, Dr.Foo, The Foo


Primary Functions: Bio-physiological Analysis and Surgical Assistence
Secondary Functions: OMF (Orderly Maintenance Functions), Logistics Management


Computer Level: S-7 (Very High)
Defense Level: 2 (Basic)


Defense Systems: Sonic Whistler (emits a high-pitch squeal which temporarily deafens a selected target-- a standard feature for Asaka drones), AutoDoser (a medical injection device which may double as a weapon of last resort)


Designation: Dr. Ezmerelda Goodluck, for XENO Sciences, 2o5o


Tech Notes: Spread Screen (evaluates billions of bio-genetic structures against an AI database), Speech and Linguistics Processor (capable of simu-vocal communication, or synthesized-patterned speech)






"The Foo is not a pet, and if you attempt to treat it like one you will invariably incur it's ire... And the Foo will certainly let you know about it, too..."
--Dr. Latten Morgan, XENO Team, Senior Systemologist













"Foo's there to assist the surgeon in any number of functions in situations where we may find ourselves understaffed. It's basically the mechanized equivalent of an advanced trauma surgeon... Excuse me? Of course I'd allow Foo to operate on me in an emergency-- long before I'd let you, actually..."
--Dr. Geneva C. Kristicos, XENO Chief Engineer / Tech Supervisor

















Notes: I won't bother listing parts on this one; it was just a complete bash. I will say that it does have a somewhat surprising seven points of articulation, which I think is cool, being of what it consists. I should also mention that it has a screw on the bottom which allows it to port magnetically to certain vehicles that I have (just like the Tic-Tic did, for those of you who might remember).


Thanks for checking it out and please let me what you think... (Again, just an FYI, only the comic pics have been PhotoShopped-- and that's, of course, just for the added detail and impact that it hopefully offers)...

Love the drones. And it actually looks like something you'd see rolling around.
No critiques.

Very cool bashing of parts.

I can picture a whole mess of these guys flitting here and there doing tasks.

Thanks guys. You know, this was one of those crazy things that just flew together, and in the end, I looked at it and wasn't at all too sure, LOL. Thanks for the encouraging words, fellas.

Hell no, that works really well. And the jumble of parts is what makes it so cool.

Very cool. Not only a great piece, but it also brings more life and realism to your 'Verse.

Very cool! I love stuff like this. (I bought the Outpost Defender set, because I wanted the bomb disposal bot) Lots of neat little details in there, and it still looks like it was made to do something.

I keep trying to read the initials on it as "Eff you."

Excellent and original. It's pretty cool to see an out of the ordinary set of customs like these.
