Max 2

Autonomous Supervisory Cargo/Maintenace Robot

Background: Max2's were Robotic managers for general purpose household and repair robots. They could issue commands and concentrate work efforts when and where needed. During the "accident" Max2's artificial intelligence was damaged and now it wants to eliminate all non-robotic life on Deck 13. When encountered it will pursue PC's with intent to kill. Max2 cannot however get other robots except Security types to attack, as it reports all biological life forms as hostile to the central Computer.

If the Max2 is destroyed it will return in a shiny new unit within 2D6 turns. My players ran afoul of Max2 on Deck 13 while scavenging for supplies. It turned into a tense few rounds of cat & mouse as he chased them up and down the aisles of cargo containers. They beat him up pretty good, but not before they suffered greatly from the tractor/repulsor beam & grasping claws! They retreated back through a ventilation conduit from which they initially gained entry.

Max2 is like a robotic Jason Vorhees / Michael Myers type silent stalking killer! And yes he will spin his grasping claws in a circular fashion just like in the "Black Hole" movie!!!

Have fun murderizing your players with Max2.
