“This unit has observed many biological organisms,” Utu replied. “It is this unit’s conclusion that all living creatures are capable of violence.”
NAME: UTU-M1977
SPECIES: Mech
FIRST APPEARANCE: Talon the Hunter
UTU-M1977, or ‘Utu’ for short, is a repair mech Talon acquired from a salvage dealer in the Gyre, on the planet of Gesa. Like most mechs in the galaxy, Utu’s programing is designed to limit his sentience and free will, insuring he will never place his own existence above that of an organic lifeform.
This programing forbids Utu from referring to himself by by name, or even organic pronouns, such as ‘I’. However, the more time he spends with Talon, the more Utu seems to develop his own somewhat sarcastic personality, despite his programing to the contrary.
As a repair mech, Utu is equipped with a lifter field propulsion system that allows him to hover above the ground. His manipulator arms can configure themselves into a variety of tools, and his multiple optical senors are capable of scanning all known energy wavelengths. In addition, Talon has supplemented Utu’s skills with a piloting program, making him a capable co-pilot in emergency situations.
Despite their constant bickering, Talon has grown quite fond of his repair mech, and would be loath to replace Utu with a new unit.
