Worker

Spinward Xenoform Worker

Physical Description

The Spinward Xenoform Worker is a sturdy, squat construct designed for intense physical labor. Its low-slung frame distributes weight efficiently, enabling heavy lifting and maneuvering. Powerful limbs and reinforced joints facilitate effortless handling of massive loads. Workers' bodies are crafted from durable bioplastics, resistant to wear and tear, ensuring prolonged operational life. Their compact Size belies impressive strength, optimized for construction, resource transport, and infrastructure development.

Role

Workers serve as the Spinward Xenoforms' primary labor force, executing tasks with algorithmic precision. Upon extrusion, they receive pre-programmed instructions governing their operations. These algorithms dictate task execution, optimizing efficiency and productivity. Workers tirelessly toil, lifting beyond normal capacity, their limited lifespan allowing for total dedication to assigned tasks. Once exhausted, they return to the central Spinward Xenoform mass for reabsorption, transferring knowledge and experience. This cyclical process refines the Xenoforms' operational strategies and allows them to construct enormous edifices quickly. Their primary building material is a chemical webbing exuded from their fore manipulators.

Vulnerabilities

Workers' limitations stem from their design and lifespan. Algorithmic thinking constrains adaptability, rendering them inflexible against unexpected challenges. Pre-programmed instructions restrict improvisation, potentially hindering response to novel situations. Physical exhaustion due to excessive lifting poses risks, as worn bodies compromise structural integrity. Limited lifespan (typically 240-480 hours) ensures eventual degradation, necessitating frequent replacements. Exploiting these vulnerabilities allows adversaries to disrupt Spinward Xenoform operations, targeting Worker weaknesses to impede infrastructure development and resource gathering.
