Deputy Mallory

The cheapest answer to a retail contractor's Backup call. When a Guardian concourse supervisor on a bargain-tier venue calls for backup, what drops on a tether is one of these โ€” the same seven-pointed sheriff star on the hull as on his self-issued chest, the metered floor of the response his badge can summon when the corporation declines to spend a human on the incident.

A concourse contractor whose posted restrictions and constant recording trigger corporate force he mistakes for safety.

Facility Seven

Manufactured by Guardian Arms at the complex, which produces replacements faster than confrontation destroys them; assembly takes forty-seven minutes.

An unmanned Guardian factory builds weapons without pause, fills dead clients' orders, and turns its lines on intruders.

GuardianThe Standing-Between

The standard patrol drone โ€” asset classification expendable, the most-produced piece of military hardware in the Sprawl.

The megacorporation that manufactures the threat it sells protection from.

Public Safety Specialist

Deployed as sacrificial screens ahead of human field agents; incident reports describe its casualties as 'collateral safety outcomes.'

Tactical Support Asset

Same chassis lineage, opposite accounting โ€” the Watchdog is expendable-by-design, the Support Asset is expendable-by-emergency; both are Guardian machines named only by serial number, the steel expression of the Compact's acceptable-loss category.

The Corporate CompactThe Employer-State

Asset classification 'expendable' is the Compact's acceptable-loss category rendered in hardware โ€” casualties filed as 'collateral safety outcomes,' the machine equivalent of an employee written off as a status code.

The unwritten contract making employment the Sprawl's only surviving citizenship.
