Overview
Psy-Bot Soldier is a Lamorn battle android encountered on Viewros. The basic model was created to serve Lamorn institutions before the Great Tragedy and later modified by surviving technicians for combat against Grievers. Its former placement in the Alimbic index was a regional classification error.
The android combines a right-arm laser cannon, a close-range shock-wave emitter, and a hover thruster mounted on the back. The thruster supports short flights rather than continuous aerial travel, while limited walking performance makes external deployment systems essential.
Its most distinctive control feature is telepathic synchronization. A unit can coordinate with a Lamorn or execute stored instructions autonomously, but loss of an active synchronization causes immediate seizure. The chassis is therefore inseparable from the command relationship that keeps it functioning.
Anatomy And Physiology
A reinforced humanoid chassis carries the laser cannon on the right arm and balances its mass with a dorsal hover assembly. The shock-wave emitter protects the short range around the body, compensating for limited walking agility when Grievers close on the firing position.
Internal control architecture translates telepathic instruction into machine action. Stored routines permit autonomous operation between commands, but synchronized activity depends on a stable living signal. That dependence distinguishes a seized unit from one disabled by ordinary power loss.
Service seams may preserve two engineering periods: original Lamorn manufacture and post-Tragedy anti-Griever modification. Differences in alloy, wiring, and weapon integration should be documented separately rather than attributed to ordinary model variation.
Habitat And Range
Known deployments center on Sol Valley approaches, Volt Forge, Chrono Tower, and other Viewros routes within reach of Lamorn transport or tower-launch systems. These are logistical positions, not a natural habitat or self-sustaining population range.
Psy-Bot Soldiers are commonly moved by shuttle or launched through the air because the hover thruster has limited endurance and walking systems are inefficient over long distances. Sudden arrival in numbers therefore indicates a functioning deployment network nearby.
Scorched landing points, shuttle clamps, tower trajectories, and repeated laser damage are the most reliable signs of regular use. Ordinary footprints underrepresent the machine’s presence because much of its movement occurs above or between separated ground routes.
Behavior And Ecology
The android follows telepathic command when synchronized and prior instruction when operating autonomously. It does not feed, reproduce, defend territory, or develop behavioral traditions. Apparent pack behavior reflects shared orders and launch timing rather than a machine ecology.
Combat routines maintain laser pressure at range, use short hover bursts to change elevation, and release a shock wave when an opponent enters close reach. These responses were selected for anti-Griever service but can be redirected when command authority changes.
If synchronization ends, the unit seizes immediately rather than entering a calm standby state. Nearby machines may continue under separate links, so the collapse of one body does not confirm that the wider telepathic network has been interrupted.
Origin And Development
Psy-Bot development began as Lamorn service-machine production before the Great Tragedy. Surviving technicians converted available chassis into battle androids as Griever pressure increased, adding or revising weapon systems without replacing the core telepathic architecture.
A unit’s equivalent of age is its service history: original manufacture, emergency modification, repair, reassignment, and command synchronization. Replacement components can identify which Lamorn facilities remained capable of maintenance after the catastrophe.
No self-replication or independent machine-life process is documented. Population size depends on surviving production, stored units, and functioning deployment infrastructure. Every recovered chassis is therefore both military evidence and a record of late Lamorn survival engineering.
Viewros Classification Correction
Psy-Bot Soldier is not Alimbic machinery. It is a Lamorn-built battle android from Viewros, retained here only until the biological index completes its regional reassignment. No evidence connects the model to the Tetra Galaxy or Alimbic military production.
The correction changes every interpretive field: its command language is telepathic, its manufacturing context is Lamorn, and its later mission was defense against Grievers. Earlier claims of neural ghosts, Alimbic armories, or autonomous machine-life development are not supported by the recovered record.
Anti-Griever Retrofit
The original model served Lamorn institutions before the Great Tragedy. Surviving technicians later modified available units into anti-Griever battle mechanoids, retaining the core android while fitting a right-arm laser cannon, a close-range shock-wave emitter, and a short-duration hover thruster.
The retrofit reflects emergency adaptation rather than a purpose-built army. Each system addresses a different part of Griever pressure: ranged fire for approach, shock waves for bodies that close the gap, and limited hover for obstacles or rapid repositioning. Repair seams should be examined for differences between pre-catastrophe manufacture and later survival work.
Telepathic Synchronization And Logistics
Psy-Bot Soldiers can synchronize telepathically with a Lamorn while also executing prior instructions autonomously. Loss of the active telepathic connection causes immediate seizure, making command continuity a physiological equivalent for the machine: the chassis remains powered, but coordinated function collapses.
Hover thrusters support only short flights and the walking system is limited, so units are commonly transported by shuttle or launched through the air by Chrono Tower. This logistical dependence explains sudden mass deployment without implying sustained independent flight. Recovery teams should sever command links before approaching a seized body.
