Autopsy Commentary (5)
ADVENT Shieldbearer
Dr. Tygan: “Physically the ADVENT Shieldbearer is quite similar to the bulk of ADVENT's forces, in that they are the product of careful genetic engineering that generally mirrors the human form. Most of their unique qualities come from a difference in equipment and armor, components I'm sure Shen will have an interest in examining.”
Dr. Lovett: “It is rare that a difference in the ADVENT trooper is distinguished by differing equipment than genetic modifications. When stripped of it’s armour and shield battery, the clone is nothing more than a common soldier. There is no signs of any additional genetic tweaking to increase bone density or muscle hardening as we see in the Stun Lancer -- more on that later -- I wonder, at what point was this unit conceived? Is this another of the Alien’s attempt to stifle individuality?
I will personally take this shielding component to Lily myself. I’m sure she’ll appreciate having an assistant for once as we go over the inner workings. Perhaps we may mock up some experimental armour designs, although preliminary inspections prove that this battery is powered by Elerium Cores .. hmm..”
ADVENT Stun Lancer
Dr. Tygan: “The ADVENT Stun Lancer was apparently outfitted with the intention of serving as a civilian peacekeeping unit within the city centers. Although they are equipped with weapons capable of administering non-lethal blows, recent reports indicate an increasingly aggressive stance taken by these units.”
Dr. Lovett: “Unsurprisingly, the increase of aggressiveness has to do with it’s genetic markup -- as we find increasing more Berserker strands than in any of the other ADVENT clones. These units are highly volatile and should not have been designated to civilian peacekeeping in the first place.
I know firsthand, forced to have two as my escort during my early years within ADVENT. Never before had I felt like .. like.. bloody cattle being prodded with an electric baton if I so much as veer out of line.
Unlike the Shieldbearer in our past autopsy, there are indications of an increased muscle fibre density to enhance it’s agility, no doubt grabbed from the Berserker’s. Further inspection of their interesting, less-armoured suit reveals components that inject.. something or another -- there are small puncture marks all over the body. I can only assume it is some form of narcotic to numb the pain and keep the unit fighting.
Oh, sorry, ‘keep the civilian peace’, because a drugged, unstable, territorial aggressive unit makes perfect peacekeepers.”
