Mechanovamp
============
Among the myriad alternate dimensions where Dar Koni and Kreelak try to kill each other there lies one dimension where a light cruiser of Dar Koni origin lays in wait. It jumps a colony ship of the Kreelak enemy in Sol System. Its headed elsewhere, but the Dar Koni don't want a colony on their flank, and besides, what are the primitives going to do about it? Send up a microcom loaded with a computer virus?
Things go badly for both sides, but worse for the cruiser. Leaking air, and steering like a drunken fesnarchtch beast, the Dar Koni head for their only possible refuge. It has maneuverrability if you're generous with the term. The ship, Teeth of Fury, lands on Earth, and makes First Contact.
The colonizer lands later on the Moon. The Kreelak awaken their corpsicles, and set them to work building domes and robot factories.
The Dar Koni recruit the Earthlings with tales of evil aliens and offering new tech. The Kreelak know this will happen, and know they have to attack. They can't let Earth be turned to Dar Koni use. This is especially true, when to both the advanced aliens' surprise, Earthlings turn out to be good at this stuff.
War picks up between the Earth and the Moon. Eventually, the Kreelak try to drop asteroids on Earth to sterilize the planet. But the Dar Koni strategists knew this would happen, and defenses are prepared. This finally convinces Earth to go all out.
The Kreelak ship has built colony domes on Luna, and is building factories, and clone warriors. It sends invasion forces, and they get chopped up by the new human cyborgs. These cyborgs are the product of the latest all-out Human push.
So the Kreelak send their best. The Mantis Troopers are armed with new D-guns. Its a desperate fight.
And thats where we leave them. You can go back there if you want, and let the verser dive nose-deep into a fairly innovative Alien Invasion Scenario.
The D-guns are weapons that disintegrate by collapsing the local structure of space-time. Extremely deadly, but then so are the Mechanovamps. Occasionally a botch in these new weapons occurs, and the target gets dumped into another universe. This would hardly bother the Kreelak if they knew.
The end result is to drop a killer cyborg from a deadly war against aliens into a normal world. The Mechanovamps are stronger, faster, more durable than a human. They have puncture tubing in their mouths to draw out the fluid of a target. They can use this to access data from a computer, draw up gasoline to power their engines, or bring in new fresh blood because their old blood gets rapidly polluted. They have hard-wired 'survive at all costs' commands built in to their computer adjuncts to their brains.
Strength 2@2 (Android hydraulics under the plastiskin armor.)
Persuasion 1@3 (Not much use of this in their lives.)
Animal Magnetism 1@3 (Waxy, stiff face.)
Charisma 1@3 (Smile? Whazzat?)
Agility 1@8
Flexibility 1@10
Hand/Eye 2@1 (Computer tracking device in eyeball)
Density 1@7 (They're mostly metal with some rubber, and a few 'squishy parts')
Resistance 2@1
Stamina 2@2 (Gasoline engines.)
I 1@6 (They're chosen for how well they fight, and take orders in a hopeless battle, not brains.)
N2 1@8 (It helps to be a bit aware of whats going around you as you stalk the ruined streets of a metropolis while you slug it out with alien invaders.)
WP 1@10 (Average willpower of the survivors has gone way up as the weak-willed have been killed off.)
EL 1@6 (He has enough education to repair himself with field expedients. Knowledge of Dickens isn't going to help him kill aliens that much.)

Blood drain to Self-Heal, and to keep functioning.
A. Self-heal. The cell rearrangers need raw material to alter for use in the 'squishy parts'. Blood is the easiest to absorb.
B. Vital fluids get polluted, and toxic. Regular exchange for new unpolluted blood is vital to continued functioning of the unit.
The unit may extend plastic, mobile tubes to snake from his mouth and absorb water, and gasoline.
The unit may extend 'datafangs' from his mouth to drain the data from a computer to his own standby processor where it can be examined from behind firewalls.
The unit has extendable metal claws.
The unit has plastiskin armor.
The unit has Ambush training.
The unit has training with a Maser Rifle, and an Anti-Armor Missile Launcher, and he is a Chiphead with a Mitzu Frenzy fighting style.
The unit has broad jump skills.
The unit has wall-climbing skills when used with his extended talons.
The unit has hard-wired survive at all costs computronics. It also has 'data refinement' which if the unit seems to be acting in ways that are 'outside the parameters' it can adjust the visual inputs until the unit is acting within parameters. Parameters do not include the possibility of being in a peacetime situation in another dimension where there are no alien invaders.
