Codex/Engineer Combat Shell
The third custom sanctioned android weapons platform, based on ideas from CSA’s hacker recruit. It makes use of unused computing power, currently wasted exclusively on running consciousness simulacrums. With her expertise in intrusion, she brainstormed the perfect field hacker.
Cybernetics are nigh impossible to infiltrate using wireless connections, therefore the Engineer uses a modified taser, which doesn’t shock its target but breaches enemy hardware, forcing a connection and dumping carefully curated worms and viruses.
The shell makes use of industrial components, a middle ground between military and consumer products, in terms of robustness and price. The Engineer wouldn’t seem out of place in the warehouses of Interport, if it wasn’t shooting them up with its new Gauss Rifle.
