SFS Standard Elimination-Class Assassin Robot Creature 9

Elegant and deadly, elimination models rely upon their stealth fields to keep foes guessing and strike where least expected. Their advanced intelligence gives them the capacity to set up more complex ambushes as well as react to changes in the situation as needed and handle requests from the client. This could mean making the killing as subtle or as gruesome as possible, depending on the intent and message intended.

Robot, Assassin

In some societies, machines automate many processes. It only makes sense, then, that some would attempt to automate the act of murder. Most manufacturers would never admit to creating such designs, forcing wealthy figures to go through hidden channels to acquire units from secret facilities or unscrupulous manufacturers. Regardless of their origins, these robots can be programmed with a target and set loose, the owner assured that either their target will be dead or will be unable to prove who tried to kill them thanks to the unit's fried circuitry.

Loose Ends

The existence of SROs means there's always a chance that an assassin robot might suddenly gain sapience, creating a problem for the owner. As such, most of these robots are scheduled for destruction soon after their first mission, but some remain in the field long enough to awaken to self-awareness. Most undergo heavy self-modification to remove and replace any semblance of their former "profession," while others take a great risk by hiring themselves out as mercenary assassins.
