Prologue
INSOMNIA: The Ark

**Morthimer** (Mortimer in the demo) is a character and companion in INSOMNIA: The Ark.

Thyper's personal "assistant", he was a gift from one of his eccentric friends called Flux, whose hobby was modifying artificial intelligence modules, Morti is a typical model INB11-2 with a fairly reworked AI. Sometimes Thyper wishes it wasn't. Thanks to the personality emulator EGO-4, Morthimer got stuck with an absolutely horrendous personality. The robot isn't likely to provide any real support on the battlefield; rather he will insult your opponents while hiding behind some cover. Morthy's excellent ability to hack electronics compensates for all his drawbacks, however.

When Thyper returns to his hideout to talk to Broker once the package has been given, Mortimer's found destroyed at the hands of a mysterious man in a coat. Weeks after that, when KZ0012 goes to Thyper's shelter looking for him, he can find the deactivated robot and bring him back to the base, where he becomes a possible companion.

## Description from the Team Page

This robot was given as a gift to Thyper by his eccentric friends, whose hobby was modifying artificial intelligence modules. Thanks to the personality emulator Ego-4, Morthimer got stuck with an absolutely horrendous personality. The robot isn't likely to provide any real support on the battlefield; rather he will insult your opponents while hiding behind some cover. Morthy's excellent ability to hack electronics compensates for all of his drawbacks, however.

## Available Skills

* **Health**
HP +30
In order for Morthimer to correctly fulfil his functions, his systems must be maintained in good order. Timely repairs and proper care guarantee that the bot will continue to serve you for years to come.
* **Disintegrator**
The DIN-3 modification, that security bots of the highest class are equipped with, allows Morthimer to attack enemies with powerful electromagnetic pulses that have a wide blast radius.
* **Repair protocol**
Maintenance +1 Affects group leader
Despite the fact that Morthimer belongs to a class of information bots, he has several modifications. One of them is a maintenance specialization. Morthimer doesn't really like to engage with such "ignominious" business as repairing mechanical devices, but if you ask him, he'll make sure it's done to the highest standards.
* **Plasma cannons**
It's doubtful anyone would think that an information bot would be useful in a fight—but Morthimer is more dangerous than he looks at first glance. The IB-M12 modification increases the power of his plasma cannons by 15%.
* **Analysis**
Learning +10% Affects group leader
Morthimer has decent calculation power—he easily systematizes information he receives from the squad and can always give practical advice. If Morthimer is in a squad, its members receive more experience than they would otherwise.
* **Assistance protocol**
 Regen +0.1 Affects group leader
The MDC 2.6 modification allows Morthimer to monitor the condition of your health and inject you with micro-doses of stimulant when needed. Now you don't need to be distracted by small cuts during a hard fight.
* **Titan body**
Defense close combat +20%
Defense gunshots +20%
Defense explosion +25%
Defense EMP +25%
Defense fire +25%
Information bots and their standard equipment are clearly not meant for combat situations. Thick armour protects Morthimer's vulnerable central processor from harsh environments.
* **Energy shield**
Defense EMP +50%
Defense plasma +50%
Morthimer can be equipped with energy shields that make him almost invincible against energy weapons.
* **Defense protocol**
Defense plasma +15% Affects group leader
Morthimer's creator clearly didn't know how to modify his creation. If you improve Morthimer's power shields, he will be capable of protecting you from energy weapons.
