Warmachine

Vitals

Habits

• Attempting to repair its own purgeable volumes, shaking its head furiously
• Shouting into cyberspace a canto from an epic data-poem about Luna
• Shaking its force maul at a stray deg; the deg is yipping, playing

Attacks

Against foes within close range

• Chainknees, 2d6 damage plus bleed 2.
• Force maul, 5d4 damage plus stun 2.
• Ion flechettes, d6 +d4 damage plus stun d4.
• Submachine gun turrets, 2d6 damage, three attacks per round.

Against foes outside of close range

• Gauss cannon, 3d30 damage plus stun 5.
• Railgun, 4d12 damage plus stun 4.

Each round the warmachine can target each small opponent with any two of its close-range weapons.

Powers

• Anti-orgone cladding (free) – When the warmachine becomes the target of the hell science, if it gets a WIL roll to resist, it burns 2 GRT to gain +2 to that roll. If it doesn’t get to resist, it burns 5 GRT to gain such a roll.
• Jack (standard) – The warmachine can figure out how to use technology by burning X × Y GRT, where X is the stratum (1–7, clank to Escheresque) and Y is the complexity (1–6, simple to godlike).
• Scanner (free) – On encountering another sapient being, the warmachine burns d8 GRT and makes a CHA check; targets roll WIL to resist. If the warmachine is successful, it learns the HEA and GRT pool of its target, their level, and any hidden weaknesses.

Gear

• The warmachine’s salvaged circuits and other parts are worth 3d8 × 1000 gl to the Archive.

Story notes

Before you witness the dilapidated glory of UTUKKU•GALLU, you hear its metal-shearing, distorted-signal, blown-amplifier roar… This primitive warmachine has long roamed the void, mindless and full of spite against its creators and their imbecilic descendants. It might be reasoned with, theoretically, via bribes of powerful technologies or sources of energy. It speaks Early Tephnian and will have a difficult time understanding Spin or other tongues.
