Capabilities: ASD-662 is an Automated Sentry Drone, built to both survey and neutralize targets in a multitude of scenarios. ASD-662 hosts a number of tools to deal with threats, including but not limited to:
- (1) 125 mm cannon for neutralizing vehicular and static targets. Hosts APDS and HESH rounds.
- (1) .50 caliber machine gun, for clearing large quantities of soft targets. AP rounds available.
- (1) Modified XM307 GMG, fitted with 25mm grenades. Hosts explosive and WP rounds.
- (4) Anti-targeting smoke perspirant. substitutes barrier up to 10 ft around ASD-662.
(Keep note that on record, the XM307 did not officially exist throughout the creation of the ASD-662 project.)
Purpose/Motive: ADS-662 was developed by the United States Department of Defense in 1958 as a prototype operative during foreign conflicts. Originally conceived in 1952, the design for ASD-662 was to allow reconnaissance and localized espionage attempts within hostile territories, while also allowing quick communication between allied powers.
Modus Operandi: ADS-662 is capable of rapid translation and an incredible calculation skill due to the inclusion of a state-of-the-art computer system, henceforth titled A-1, fixed onto ADS-662's rear. Core A-1 consists of technological data unmatched in the current century, developed by minds such as the late Albert Einstein, and ultimately capable of reliably and consistently assuming accurate statistical data up to 20 years in the future. ADS-662 is fed data types directly from a number of databases across the United States, including; births, deaths, populations, crime, and splendors of schooling data, which allows it to always remain up to date with its calculations. ADS-662, however, has been designed to not disclose any information not relevant to its current designation, and will not relieve any data of our great nation lest it speaks to one from our own country.
Behavior: ADS-662 is programmed to be bland and direct, avoiding any of the useless dribble associated with a number of human statistical engineers. ADS-662 will only take commands from an American superior or supervisor, although it will commune with foreigners in regards to its task or to preserve itself.
Core A-1 & A-2: Fat programmable cases attached to ASD-662's right bumper. One core is placed behind the cage armor around ASD-662's rear, resembling that of large battery boxes, while the other remains offside in case of extreme circumstances.
Conceptual art: ASD-662 went through a number of design phases throughout its development, eventually deciding on an eastern Soviet influence. This choice was not because of communist sympathies, but as an apt choice to improve relations during ASD-662's tasks.
Current Status: M.I.A.
Crimes: ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████.
Sentencing: Supoenaed under orders of President Eisenhower.
History of UIU Action:
12/09/52: work begins on ASD-662, original plans attempt to develop ASD-662 as a primarily combat-focused weapon.
3/20/53: Initial sketches are submitted for ASD-662 designs. The majority are declined due to overtly 'ridiculous' requests.
3/22/53: Sketch submitted by Assistant Director Malway (see image on page 1). design approved for beginning development.
8/12/54: Prototype 1 is completed, deemed failure after catching fire during boot up sequence.
9/4/54: Dr.Albert Einstein is added to the team of scientists in hopes of accelerating the program.
12/5/54: Prototype 7 is completed, deemed initial success and moved to R&D period before continuation.
4/08/55: Prototype 7 is deemed a failure after detonating during firing and releasing a shockwave, killing 3 personnel and wounding 12 others. Albert Einstein dies 10 days later to an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
4/11/55: Original sketch scrapped, the current design is developed by Dr.Quri.
3/10/59: Prototype 17 is completed, deemed a success and delivered to its first assignment in Bulgaria.
3/11/59 – 4/15/60: ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████.
4/14/61: ASD-662 prepped for intervention during the Bay of Pigs invasion, as insufficient translators were supplied.
4/17/61: All connection to ASD-662 is lost, as the transport plane carrying ASD-662 is shot down. Failure of incursion due to CIA incompetence forces UIU to abandon its search.
I don't know what these idiots think they're working on, but it certainly isn't something they can just waste my fucking tax dollars on. I'm not even sure if these lab monkeys have any brains, to begin with, but they certainly aren't using them!
ASD-662 was designed with two cores; A-1 is designed for its primary function: speaking. The whole point of the damn thing was to make sure it could talk to people, get as much information out as possible, complete its objective, and book it back to home court. Those eggheads, though, they didn't wanna leave it at that, no, so they decided it would be a fantastic idea to develop a second core: A-2.
This one, unlike the normal and totally reasonable one, was built as a sort of 'fight or flight response' for ASD-662, so that instead of it just giving tactical advice and bank statements, it would also take things. Not the sort of 'hey Gary can I borrow some sugar?' kind of take though, because those bastards don't seem to enjoy anything good in this world. A-2 is designed to be deceptive. Their excuse was that it could be used to gain the trust of combatants before eliminating them, then bringing the spoils back to American troops stationed nearby. Great idea gents, just what we need. War crimes. President Eisenhower adored the humor in the idea, though, and next thing you know they got the whole thing nice and packaged.
Now, I'm not the brightest, bravest, nor the strongest of the bunch, but I know damn well that if you're sending a machine never before seen by anyone on this planet other than the goddamn nose pickers to a foreign country, you'd pack the nice core right? Wrong. They gave ASD-662 core A-2. Not only am I furious they decided to do that, and that president Eisenhower probably approved it, last I heard ASD-662's plane was shot down by the Cubans. So, not only is there a state of the art American secret lost on a dying fucking island in the Carribean but it's also a goddamn Mongol. Fantastic.
I need a drink.
