Most of the time they turn over those cases to more mundane authorities, but there have been a few that weren't so easily resolved. The most notorious of these cases involved the discovery of a functional automated android production factory in Saitama, possibly the very same one which had produced the android who became known as Iris Philips of the Discovery Company. The question of who constructed this facility remained an open one even after the challenge it presented had been resolved.The Ghost Sweepers shut down the factory, but one android remained intact at the end, having been given no mission programming by the facility's controlling intelligence. The team turned it over to the Yokoyama Group, expecting to hear no more about it, and were shocked when they received a new member a week later -- the android, given programming to make him into a loyal ally of the team. It took a while for them to get used to this unusual ally, but Tetsu ("Iron") has proven his worth many times over.Tetsu maintains a cover identity as Iwasaki Tetsurou, a college student who received extensive cybernetic implants to save his life. (From a certain point of view this is true, as he would never have become functional without them.) As Tetsu is aware that he's not particularly good at maintaining this cover identity, he avoids dealing with people as much as possible. He would actually prefer to be more truthful about his real nature, but all signs point to this creating more problems than it would solve. Someday, hopefully.The Yokoyama Group did not tell the Ghost Sweepers that Tetsu was put on their team as an insurance policy, intended to prevent any of them from going rogue in a fairly direct manner. Megan has repaid this favor by not telling them that one of the other members of the team, who channels the legendary magician Kashin Koji -- apparently a very talented inventor, instead of a sorcerer -- discovered that contingency programming almost immediately, and removed it, as well as the whole 'loyalty' business. Tetsu works with the team out of his own free will, not because of any electronic slavery.Tetsu -- PL 8Abilities:STR 6 | STA - | AGL 0 | DEX 2 | FGT 4 | INT 4 | AWE 1 | PRE -1Powers:Android Body: Immunity 30 (Fortitude); Protection 8 - 38 pointsImplanted Autoblaster: Ranged Multiattack Damage 6 - 18 pointsSpeed: Enhanced Advantages 3 (Improved Initiative 3); Enhanced Defenses 8 (Dodge 4, Parry 4); Quickness 4; Speed 4 (30 MPH) - 19 pointsAdvantages:Eidetic Memory, Evasion, Improved Initiative 3, Precise Shot (ranged, cover), Uncanny Dodge.Skills:Intimidation 8 (+7), Investigation 5 (+9), Perception 7 (+8), Ranged Combat: Blaster 8 (+10), Technology 4 (+8), Vehicles 6 (+8).Offense: Initiative +12Unarmed +4 (Close Damage 6)Autoblaster +10 (Ranged Multiattack Damage 6)Defense:Dodge 8/4, Parry 8/4, Fortitude Immune, Toughness 8, Will 6Totals:Abilities 22 + Powers 75 + Advantages 4 + Skills 19 + Defenses 9 = 129 points Complications:Acceptance--Motivation.
