Adventurers in the Great Lakes region
of North America have reported a new,
apparently post-holocaust robot type that
is occasionally found as far as 200 kilometers
from Lake Superior?s shorelines.
Observors believe that it is being manufactured
by one or more unknown PCI?s
for unknown reasons.
The ?Cyber-Netter,? as the locals call
it, is a flattened sphere 6 meters in diameter
and 3 meters tall. Eight legs project
out from the sides of the body at regular
intervals, lifting the body some 8 meters
off the ground. Its armament is lighter
than for other types of robots or warbots,
but effective nonetheless. The mechanism
has two batteries of Mark VII blaster rifles
(3 ?guns? each) that each do 20d6 damage
out to 500 meters, 15d6 out to 1,000
meters, 10d6 out to 1,500 meters, and 5d6
out to the maximum range of 2,000
meters. It also has a grenade launcher
that can fire 50 rounds of stun grenades
out to 100 meters.
Peculiar to the Cyber-Netter is a special
sort of weapon (of non-lethal design)
called a ?webber.? A single barrel, projecting
from the front of the Cyber-Netter,
is capable of ejecting long strands of
sticky material onto a target or targets,
like water from a fire hose. Everything
within a 60-degree arc to the front of the
Cyber-Netter, out to a maximum range of
20 meters, has an 80% chance of being

caught in the sticky masses of material
when the webber is used.
Victims caught in the mess may
attempt to pull free; their base chance of
succeeding is equal to their physical
strength doubled and expressed as a percentage.
Only one attempt may be made
to pull free; failure means that the victim
is trapped for the time being.
The webs are not flammable in the
least, and the strands harden in five minutes
to the consistency of a steel-mesh net.
The Cyber-Netter may then recover the
captives at its leisure, lifting them out
with a tractor/presser beam on the underside
of the body (able to move 500 kg at
20 meters) after cutting away the strands
with the atomic torches mounted on the
ends of the two front legs. When not in
use, the torches retract into the mechanical
foot-pad at the end of the legs.
Captives are deposited inside the Cyber-
Netter through doors on the underside of
the body by the tractor/presser beam
equipment, and then carried away. No
one knows where they are taken or what
happens to them after that. The machine
emits coded radio signals from time to
time, but they are not decipherable, and
no receiving station is known.
