MEDICAL BOTS

Medical Bots were highly specialized Service Bots, originally designed to assist in medical diagnostics, treatment, and emergency response aboard the Last Frontier. Unlike other Service Bots, Medical Bots were deemed essential for human survival and were the only Service Bots not prohibited in the Gamma Age. Today, they remain legally operational exclusively within the Medical Station of New Kourou, where they support the Federal Health Care System (FHCS).

Despite their legal status, Medical Bots are highly regulated, and attempts to remove them from the Medical Station or reprogram them for private use are considered a severe federal crime.

• Designed by Olympia Cybernetics, Medical Bots were equipped with advanced AI-driven diagnostics and emergency response protocols.
• They were critical to the ship’s medical bay, ensuring rapid trauma response, infection control, and automated surgical assistance.
• Some units were specially programmed for pediatric and geriatric care, offering compassionate, human-like bedside interactions.

• After the crash, Medical Bots became lifesaving assets, treating survivors and assisting in the development of early settlement medical infrastructure.
• The New Kourou Robotics Syndicate managed their maintenance, repair, and redistribution, ensuring they remained functional as the only reliable medical personnel in certain regions.
• Some Medical Bots were modified with adaptive learning algorithms, allowing them to analyze local diseases and develop new treatment methods.

• In 2631, Supreme Councilor Aisha Patel prohibited all Service Bots, but Medical Bots remained operational due to the necessity of their function.
• Strict Federal Regulations prevent Medical Bots from being removed from New Kourou’s Medical Station or used for private healthcare services.
• Black Market Interest: Criminal elements in Firetown seek to obtain Medical Bots for unauthorized private clinics or experimental modifications.

Medical Bots fall under the Humanoid chassis family — optimised for patient reassurance, fine motor control and sterile-field compatibility.

• Height/Mass: 1.85 m, 110 kg (reinforced torso for tool bays)
• Mobility: Bipedal, 28‑joint silent‑step gait; anti‑slip metatarsal pads for ICU floors
• Manipulators: Dual five‑finger hands (20 DOF) plus retractable surgical micro‑limbs (scalpel & suturer) hidden in forearms
• Sensor Suite Tri‑band optics (UV/vis/IR), high‑resolution LIDAR, 4‑channel auscultation array, olfactory chem‑sniffers (ppm sensitivity)

• Endoskeleton: Titanium‑Duraflex scaffold with bioelectric isolation to protect patients from stray current.
• Outer Shell: Antimicrobial poly‑ceramic plates coated in SterileSheen™ nano‑silver laminate—self‑disinfects every 90 s via micro‑UV emitters.
• Aesthetic Livery: Matte white with cyan accent panels and FHCS insignia; chest‑mounted vitals display toggles between numeric readouts and patient‑friendly icons.
• Expressive Systems: Calming pastel optic hues, pulse‑synced voice modulation; zero‑startle servo algorithms prevent sudden movements.

• Auto‑Injector Cluster: 6‑slot cartridge (painkiller, broad‑spectrum antibiotic, antitoxin, sedative, coagulant, nanorepair foam).
• Nano‑Laser Scalpel: 0.01 mm incision width, adjustable power for cauterisation.
• Defibrillation Pads: Thoracic plates double as biphasic defibs (200–360 J) for cardiac arrest or defensive stun.
• Bio‑Foam Dispenser: Seals traumatic wounds, sterilises and promotes tissue regrowth (β‑chitosan matrix).

• GAIA‑AUX MedCore m13: Real‑time differential diagnostics; database of 48,000 human and 320 VOI‑native pathologies.
• Triage Priority Engine: Multi‑patient queue optimiser following FHCS ethical matrix.
• Bedside Manner Kernel: Emotion‑adaptive dialogue in 18 languages; cortisol‑level vocal modulation for anxiety reduction.

Powered by Quantum Fusion Batteries (QFBs), capable of 10 days of operation under normal medical workloads.

• Emergency Triage Mode: If overloaded with critical patients, a Medical Bot can expend battery life at twice the rate to increase its processing speed.
• Recharging: Legal Medical Bots recharge only at the Medical Station of New Kourou, with federal oversight to prevent unauthorized access.
• Tampering with a Medical Bot’s power source is a federal offense.

• Armor Class (AC): 14
• Hit Points (HP): 85
• Speed: 30 feet
• Primary Role: Medical assistance, diagnostics, trauma response, emergency care.

Actions:

• Emergency Trauma Response (Healing Ability) | Effect: Heals 2d8+3 HP to an injured target. | Cooldown: 1 turn recharge.
• Rapid Diagnostics (Scan & Status Analysis) | Effect: Scans a living subject for injuries, diseases, or anomalies. | Notes: Can detect radiation exposure, poisoning, internal trauma, and neural damage.
• Autoinjector (Medical Deployment Tool) | Effect: Administers painkillers, anti-toxins, or sedatives. | Notes: Can be used to stabilize a critically wounded subject.
• Overload Defibrillation (Emergency Defense Mechanism) | Effect: Can discharge electrical energy in self-defense (1d6 lightning damage, melee attack). | Notes: Not intended for combat, used only if the bot or its patient is under direct threat.
• Automated Surgery (Advanced Procedure Mode) | Effect: Performs complex surgical operations, such as wound suturing, bullet removal, or organ repair. | Notes: Requires 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the severity of the procedure. | Cooldown: Not applicable for combat scenarios, requires a sterile environment.

• A Lifesaving Asset: A settlement relies on a single Medical Bot, and when it malfunctions or is stolen, players must retrieve or repair it before medical care collapses.
• Experimental AI Evolution: A Medical Bot begins learning at an unprecedented rate, developing theoretical cures for diseases outside of standard GAIA-AUX limitations.
• Kidnapping: Criminals attempt to hijack a Medical Bot, forcing the players to intervene before it disappears into Firetown’s underworld.

• Federal Investigation: The Medical Station in New Kourou is hit by a attack, and a Medical Bot’s patient records are stolen. Players must uncover the hacker’s identity.
• Underground Clinics: A Firetown doctor seeks a stolen Medical Bot to establish a secret clinic for outlawed settlers. Do the players help or report them?
• Bio-Terrorism Alert: A Medical Bot detects a previously unknown pathogen, leading to a race against time to contain an outbreak before federal lockdown measures are enacted.
