K1/T3 - KITE

Kite - Monolith Corporate Surveillance Unit

"It's not a weapon. It says so on the chassis. 'SURVEILLANCE ONLY.' The rail-gun must be a decorative feature."

The Kite is a factory-fresh Monolith unit, and the Glitch Threshold of 0 is the first thing that will make you profoundly uncomfortable. It does not glitch. It does not loop. It does not stare into the dark. It is doing exactly what it was programmed to do, at all times, with complete and total clarity of purpose.

Its Sensor Rating of 5 means that if you are in range, it has already counted your heartbeats, identified your last three registered addresses, and cross-referenced your face against the Hegemony Most Wanted database.

Default Modules: Sensor Array, Stealth Housing.

Hacking Note: Hacking a Kite requires beating an effective ICE rating of 10. If the attempt fails, the Kite logs the intrusion, marks the Netrunner's biometric signature, and continues its mission. This data is transmitted to Monolith's nearest station in real-time. Congratulations on making the list.

Field Note: The Kite's chassis is rated for vacuum and hard radiation. It will follow its target into places humans cannot survive. Corporate philosophy in hardware form.
