Transmat Beam: The Anne Droid has a teleportation beam that television viewers, contestants, and the human controllers of the Games Station believed to be a disintegration beam. This beam attacks with a +4 bonus. On a successful hit, it automatically teleports its target to preset coordinates.
Limitations: The Anne Droid is stationary. It cannot move from its designated location on its own.
The Anne Droid is only capable of following its programming: To run the game, to “disintegrate” anyone who refuses to play or tries to leave the game, and to “disintegrate” to losers. It takes no other action.
The Anne Droid was used in the Games Station’s version of “The Weakest Link”, and was programmed with the voice (and some mannerisms) of Anne Robinson, the host of the original British game show. It had gleaming silver “skin”, red “hair”, and “dressed” in black. Its beam weapon was located inside its “mouth”.
While the Games Station was being remotely controlled by the Daleks, the Anne Droid’s teleportation beam was directed to the Dalek Command Ship, where targets would provide material for the creation of new Daleks.
An Anne Droid transmatted Rose Tyler to the Dalek Command Ship in 200,200 AD after she lost “The Weakest Link”. The Daleks destroyed the Anne Droid during their attack on the Games Station. However, given that there were 60 versions of “Big Brother” over 10 floors, and given that Floor 407 of the Games Station was given over to “The Weakest Link”, it seems unlikely that there was only one Anne Droid.
Advancement: None. It is, however, possible to trade out the Anne Droid’s transmat beam for another energy weapon, with a DC 15 Science (Robotics) or a DC 20 Repair check.
