Automated Patrol Units

The Automated Patrol Units (or APUs) are the main law enforcers on The Alpha Conglomerate. They are are a part of the Law Division, and act as police officers. They are fully automated, programmed by the government to obey orders issued by Stephen Dickinson and any higher-ranking officials. Due to resource scarcity, there is only one APU per district.

Although built to be humanoid, the APUs do not look human. They are made out of metal.

=
Emotional capacity - They have a highly advanced AI, allowing them to closely interact in human ways, develop "personalities," and function almost as a regular human. There is no evidence to support that they have any emotional capacity. =====

Fighting - The APUs are trained to be adept at close-quarters engagement, and are equipped with hidden guns for ranged combat.
Power source - APUs run on internal battery cells. These are powered by large electrical plugs in the patrol unit's respective Automated Patrol Unit Quarters.

Misc. Maintenance - In order to maintain proper functions and keep internal and external equipment lubricated, the APUs are required to use, or "consume," oil. They must also monitor oxidization levels in case of rust.
