A Kessler event destroyed any overhead data collection for everyone at the onset of the Conflict. As resources dwindled, costs rocketed, and time became critical, fully mech/comp units were wasteful and their loss was a heavy burden. Wetware integration had been standard, so wettech was the natural evolution from doubleplus need. Mobile Foetal Units were prioritywise needed to gather data behind enemy lines. Foetal processors saved thousands of manufacturing hours at 1/14th the resource cost.
This unit has been in operation for well over 80 years. It was trapped when it's data stream was used for an air attack. The building it was in plus collapsed, leaving this area intact. This unit is a hybrid designed to protect itself. The former skull houses a partially intact brain. As was common, formers make doubleplus good syncasters. The misfiring synapses are wired to broadcast on alpha, beta, gamma, epsilon, and theta waves. The mental white noise blankets a zone, up to 5km, rendering cognition doubleplus unviable. Long range observations showed a lack of mammal activity in this area, alerting our field techs to the possibility of a syncaster. The hybrid was a welcome surprise. We've reflashed the foetus and boxed the syncaster functions, leaving the medulla oblongata functions intact to continue controlling the core systems. We can, in future field research, use this unit for more dangerous probes.
