094-Armed Response & Situation Control Unit ("ARSCU")

The ARSCU is one of the replacement Hunters hired by the Senate following Edge's defection during "The Schism". Her initial origins are unclear, but she mentions being heavily improved by 260-Ateriel. She is a fully aware synthetic lifeform ensconced in a Heil-type body made of synthetic, radio-responsive iskindite, which makes her extremely difficult to damage.

Unlike other semi-robotic members of the Senate Bounty Hunters, like 256-Morceti, the ARSCU lacks any organic components whatsoever. She is capable of reconstructing pieces of herself if necessary, provided she has not been utterly destroyed, by using repair protocols salvaged from the Rezer Incident. Like Morceti, she is capable of sustained flight, but it is accomplished through the use of a spine-mounted fusion turbine and boot-mounted guidance thrusters, leaving her arms free while in the air.

In addition to flight, the ARSCU is extremely capable at cyberwarfare and fulfills this role for the Senate. Capable of interfacing with any piece of technology she encounters (provided it was manufactured prior to her last decryption software upgrade), she presents a formidable opponent if attacked outright with technology. Edge is immune due to the interference from the Kelthos Core he carries as well as his lead-lined circuitry. Others are not so lucky.

As far as combat goes, the ARSCU favors a pair of Erythian LP-22's with plutonium rounds, making her extremely dangerous. Unfortunately, she lacks the myriad of built-in weapons Morceti has at her disposal. Her only hardlinked defenses are kinetic barriers and ten miniature ion blades encased in the tips of her fingers, each one able to extend to five inches in length.

During the Tenth Galactic War, the ARSCU was one of the Hunters who traveled with Ateriel to corner Edge before he reached Krell. Failing to catch the Ghost before it slipped beneath the orbital defenses, she aided in intercepting him in the Green Crater Canyon along with Ateriel. During a momentary hand-to-hand scuffle, Ateriel managed to lower Edge's shields enough for the ARSCU to puncture his helmet, destroying his left eye. 56-Pearl, 259-Meggothia and Morceti arrived moments later, the latter giving chase to and ultimately destroying the ARSCU while Meggothia dealt with Ateriel and Pearl healed Edge with protites.
