Behavior & Society
- Reactions
- When encountered without an objective, dormant, or in storage, a military common ID card can be used to move a Death Machine from place to place or have it perform mental tasks. Only a supervisor's card can give it a military objective. maintenance ID cards work normally, assuming that they are from the same military base. Programmer's cards cannot be used to make a Death Machine attack the base it is assigned to. Only a security card can do that. Death Machines ignore civil authority cards.
- Behavior
- Death Machines are very rare and will only be found near CI's that they are assigned to defend and from which they take orders. They almost always attack those who can't show Stage V I.D.
- Repair & Healing
- A Death Machine can repair 5 point of Damage per turn until it suffers half damager then it can only repair 1 hitpoint of damage per minute. When reduced to less than 50 hit points it can only repair 1 hitpoint a minute. Some death machines may shutdown when reduced to 20 hit points so that they may repair themselves and attack later.
