Gorgon

The Gorgon is unique among HORUS pattern groups in that it prioritizes defensive systems meant to ensure personal and allied survival; otherwise, it fields a typical complement of horrifying, confusing, and uncanny weapons.

The typical Gorgon mounts multiple weapon systems meant to identify and intercept incoming enemies, allowing pilots to project a zone of control around themselves and their allies. The Gorgon is feared for its ability to extrude a dangerous memetic “basilisk”, a projected light-cone of anticognitive, hyperfractal visual data that is deadly to ontologic, sapient beings.

Metastatic Paralysis

When an attack roll against the Gorgon lands on 1–2, it automatically misses and the attacker becomes Stunned until the end of their next turn.

Gaze

The Gorgon can take two reactions per turn, instead of one.

Guardian

Adjacent allied characters may use the Gorgon for hard cover.

Core System:Basilisk Directed Anticognition Hyperfractal

The BASILISK is a dangerous memetic weapon derived from DHIYED liturgicode, translated for use in mech-scale engagements. Typically projected from a communications laser, BASILISKs create hyperfractal patterns: memetic interruptions that affects all sapient observers, organic or otherwise. Exposure to a basilisk typically causes immediate encephalitis, massive ocular and cranial hemorrhage, and death – survival is possible with tempering and interdictor heads-up displays, but even then headaches, nausea, and confusion for a short period after viewing are possible. Long-term, survivors often exhibit “flashback” symptoms: momentary paralysis, corporeal alienation, and consciousness destabilization. Anticognition hyperfractals are classified as paracausal weapons; due to the not-as-yet understood nature of their visible-light spectrum broadcast, one would think that they would pose a risk to their user, however, for some reason they do not.

ACTIVE - Extrude Basilisk

You project a horrifying basilisk, a visual data-pattern that is incredibly harmful to NHPs and electronic systems, and hard to look at even for humans. For the rest of the scene, hostile characters must succeed on a Systems save before attacking you or any allied characters within range 3. On a failure, they become Stunned until the end of their next turn. Each character can only be Stunned by this effect once per scene.

On activation, choose an allied character within SENSORS: until the end of your next turn, you gain the Battlefield Awareness reaction.

Battlefield Awareness

When a hostile action is taken against your target, you may move 3 spaces towards your target, by the most direct route possible. This movement interrupts and resolves before the triggering action, ignores engagement and doesn’t provoke reactions. This reaction can be taken as many times per round as it is triggered.

Unique

The sentinel drone can be redeployed to a new location or recalled as a quick action.
