A special polymorphic version of the Echo Hull, the Eidolon was designed with the ability to alter its appearance and adapt to local cultural conditions. Less charitable observers have labeled it a spy armature, though it remains a favorite with AIs who intend to venture into extremely cyberphobic societies. Nothing short of severe physical injury, psychic probing, or surgical medical examination will reveal that the Eidolon is actually an armature.
Special: The Eidolon can shift its appearance to that of any humanoid form between 1.5 and 2.5 meters in height, perfectly replicating any person the Eidolon has observed either directly or through sufficiently thorough recordings. Internal grav nodes even cause the armature to mimic the subject’s total mass. If the Eidolon is able to meet the subject’s gaze a security-grade retina duplicate can be achieved, and physical contact or a tissue sample can be used to create a DNA mask to fool relevant sensors. Changing outward appearance requires five minutes of motionlessness, while duplicating retinas requires one hour and creating a DNA mask requires twenty-four hours.
Integrated Equipment: Compad, Ultra-miniaturized Translator torc circuitry loaded with all languages known in Alliance Space, Instrumentality Space, The League of Habitats, and Vokun Space.
