First Lifelike Utility Experiment (F.L.U.X.)

## Biography

The first and most notable feature of the Flux model is the skin. At a distance it looks hard and uninviting. The skin is a Metalloplastic, which even sounds uninviting. However this is just the name given to a special blend of Thermoplastic Elastomer with a metallic mesh under-weave to help resist damage. Which means, to the touch it feels exactly like real skin. Specially crafted to be flawless. It even has limited ability to self repair, however for more extensive repairs an ARC Pad or a repair bench will be needed. Some may wonder about the dual coloring of the skin and if it serves any function. The dual coloring is just for visual effect.

Under the skin are a series of specialized systems to enhance the realism of the model. Starting at the head, the Flux model has a series of micro actuators capable of imitating just about every facial feature available to humans. The photo receptor eyes are capable of scanning the entire visual spectrum as well as into the ultraviolet and infrared. The ears utilize similar micro actuators to control the movement in a realistic way. The unit even includes a specialized audio system, specifically designed to imitate the sound a cat makes when it purrs.

The body is crafted to be as realistic as mechanically possible. The breasts have silicone fillers to eliminate the rigidity of previous models. Even the nipples are built to provide realism, capable of changing hardness state. The skin is even capable of producing moisture just as real skin would do. So long as the liquid storage systems aren't completely drained.

The wings are crafted from a carbon fiber material and utilize a hard light propulsion system. Capable of creating physical, yet still holographic wings. The energy used in these creations is dangerous to touch. Similar to touching an active plasma field.

The reproduction system.. Doesn't exist. The Flux model is incapable of actual reproduction due to its mechanical nature. However this is only being pointed out as due to the great lengths Cybertech Industries has gone to in order to make this as real as possible, some people often forget this. However, all of the functions are still there. The vagina is fully functional and crafted from the same Metalloplastic layers as the body skin. Which means that so long as the lubrication system isn't completely empty, the Flux model can even get 'wet' and provide natural feeling lubrication for penetration. The unit is fully capable of maintaining the liquid and lubrication systems on it's own, so there is no need for a user manual on this. It is crafted as a tiny thin slit, that once one spreads those the thin little folds open, there is a tiny little nub of a clit tucked in-between the folds. Now many men find this rather intimidating, saying that this will be too small for them. But the design if it is capable of expanding up to five inches without damage. With the advent of horse cock augmentations, this can be expanded to fit a horse sized penis, though there is no guarantee that this will not damage the unit. However an ARC pad or repair table is capable of repairing even this damage. The ass utilizes many of the same design specifications as the vagina, and thus has many of the same limitations. The Metalloplastic exocovering will revert to it's base shape after only a couple of hours, faster if a repair device is used.

Some people might become concerned over, with all that metal and plastic, the unit will feel cold and lifeless to the touch. This has already been thought of by the designers. And unlike fully military models which utilize heavy duty cooling systems for the mechanical systems to prevent overheat on the battlefield, the Flux model has had it's cooling systems calibrated to allow more internal heat to be produced. This is then radiated through the skin to present the feeling of warmth. The internal temperature ranges from around 37c to 40c, depending on the amount of exertion the unit is doing. Keeping the skin temperature within the normal range of human temperature.

Realism is the primary goal for the Flux model, as such it is able to imitate the entire range of human reactions, as well as several cat like reactions to conform to the catgirl design of the model. These reactions can however be disabled if desired, though they are on by default. It's been found that many prefer the Flux model of Gynoid to exhibit natural appearing reactions to any and all situations it encounters. This means that even though the unit is one hundred percent artificial, it will faithfully perform these natural reactions to their proper conclusion with very few exceptions.

Under the skin is a Tritanium Endoskeleton, An ore known to be 21.4 times as hard as diamond. Which means that a user can try as hard as they like, they will not be able to break the primary body structure. Not without using an industrial grade crusher. Under that is all of the unit's primary and secondary internal electronics. Even with all that, the unit is actually rather light in comparison to earlier models. 125lbs in total.

The unit is powered by a Sonofusion power cell capable of producing upwards of 2kw of power for 12 hours. Unlike previous models, the Flux unit contains a micro-transporter system with the ability of storing several items in the buffer. This also includes a charging pad should the unit need recharging. The unit is driven by a Positronic Brain which is capable of an ultimate storage capacity of eight hundred quadrillion Bits (approximately 100,000 terabytes) and a total linear computational speed rated at sixty trillion operations per second. This also alows the unit to learn and grown independent of any base programming. This also means that the Flux unit is not bound by many of the hard code that other Gynoids use. Such as the Three Laws, or hard coded inhibitors. Only a guiding program is present, that the unit is free to ignore should the situation warrant it.

The Flux model also contains a rather extensive sensor package. The equivilant of having a full package tricorder built in. Most of the sensor systems are routed through the eyes, meaning that the unit has to be looking in the direction to scan in that direction. However, high levels of ionizing radiation(or energy fields of similar disrupting nature) can impede or block scans. And may even impede the unit's ability to see entirely. The unit has basic EMP shielding, to protect against some forms of radiation. However over a certain level(primarily what would be fatal for a biological entity) will impede or damage the unit.

The unit also has a modifiable lighting system which extends all the way from the eyes to the tattoos. Even to a limited extent to the wings. This lighting system can be configured for just about any color the user finds pleasurable to have across the unit's body. The Sternum lighting system is mostly decorative, however when charging it shows the current charge level. And under extreme processing load it will change pattern.

The Flux unit is NOT capable of combat operations. As such, it's reaction times are no where near combat model specifications. Calibrated for peak human reaction times, if pit against a combat model the Flux unit would be annihilated. However, the Flux unit does have limited defensive systems. Namely a low energy configurable forcefield generator. Capable of generating either a bubble shield or reconfigured to a helix wall. The shield is low energy so won't stand for long against weapons barrages. Just long enough for the unit to extract itself.

Having no default combat ability does not mean that the unit is forever incapable of having combat abilities. If specifically directed to, the unit is capable of learning new abilities, including combat.
