The spooder bots begin their arduous task of endlessly cleaning the bent and broken hull of the terminus HQ. not a crashed space ship, no, this was a HOME. it was a place where PEOPLE (and robots and clones and monsters) LIVED.

The troopers training program involved live fire exercises, with the justification that they could clone more. So began destructive testing, and fuck was it destructive. The upside was that the engrams were able to be enriched via recovery of neural spikes in a controlled environment. The downside was that the most experienced troopers killed the fuck out of each other till only a handful remained. Plenty of the daughters survived the meat mafia massacre. Its not like they were all in the city, many had stayed back and were more than a bit upset at the death of their kin. Somewhat shocked at the cloned recovery of the dead, the daughters were convinced to commit ultra violence in the name of more violence. It wasn't the smartest move, but the Troopers were a bad influence and with the high risk weaponry of the company...well, there was attrition. Memory engrams were compressed and filtered for optimization. As long as the clones didn't think too hard about who they were before they were clones, anxiety and emotional trauma was kept low, and in it's place a vigor for company profit and corporate output! Not to say all the originals were dead, still far from it, but those who participated in those training exercises? yes.

R&D were having a heyday without having to worry about safety, casualties, or things like "morality". The plasma and "electrolaser" technology was reinvigorated under a singular laboratory team who combed over the weapons until they worked right. The entire inventory of old weapons were replaced with new standardized models. A singular carbine sized device encompassed what was previously a plethora of devices. A knob on the side twisted to various functions like Pulse, Beam, Spray, Stab, and Self destruct. The weapons still exploded, but now there was an internal heat monitor and warning, so it wasn't any surprise and really was a feature.The Gunnade was replaced by a refined plasma grenade that could either smoke or explode, depending on which way the dial was twisted, and the plasma bomb was still its big dumb smoky self, which worked pretty darn good. On the other side of the lab the EG engine was doing fine, they even managed to mount a smaller version onto a Powersuit, which was good to go, but they needed a body inside them...
>picture is a skelebot but there are probably a ton of variants, non standardized and all.
