== REVIEW - Arendtcore Runbot Sixie 2089 Model ==
By Perry Hardsteadt
[[File:RunBot1 2089 model details.png|thumb|left|The poster handed out to gyms and wellness specialists during the initial rollout of the Runbot 2089 model.]]

''(Yes, we're aware that Perry usually covers health and lifestyle rather than the IT section of the Little Sanctuary Enquirer, but the specialist nature of this particular unit required more of his usual expertise rather than the usual reviewers, so yeah, consider this a special)''
-------

Gymbots have become a common fixture and a bit of a crowded market ever since Itako Robotics and Ninver Gymnastics collaborated on the first such unit in 2045 for workout rats in gyms and weight rooms. Since then, there have been a wide range of such robots made available, with different synergies with different brands of workout equipment, or differing standards, targeted at various different segments of the fitness market from the heavyweight lifters to the cardio freaks to the average joe who just wants to stay reasonably fit and toned.

The Arendtcore Robotics Runbot v.2089 model is probably one of the newest gymbots out there, and is intended to link well with HealthLink-enabled gym equipment, another such product in a growing market that caters to this new open standard for spotting, tracking and reporting of fitness equipment usage, but it also adds slightly slower support for non-Healthlink-enabled gear, as well as daily fitness and health/diet tracking.

=== Portability ===
The Runbot is configured as a Smaller Adult Frame Sixie type android - what this means is that it still has sufficient heft and power to manage light weight carrying of up to 200kg as well as extended active gym workouts of up to two hours, but can also be disassembled for easier transport to the gym or storage when not in use. The product was supplied in a slowliner-grade carrying case - reasonably light yet robust. Assembly is very easy, taking only placement of parts into associated stubs on torso to activate, and disassembly is just as easy when needed, with simple instructions provided in the case. The case also doubles as a recharge station when away from standard induction pads, as well as a communications relay for the Runbot's unique health/diet tracking systems.

A slight sticking point is the unusual foot configuration of the unit, which does not fit standard shoes. A standard set of easy-wear Gym workout clothing is provided, as is a pair of special hard-wearing support shoes for the feet of this unit, with several new designs coming out from Arendtcore Fashions over the coming months (as promised in the brochure). The unit is sized to take XS sized women's clothing or kids size XXL clothing as well for other alternative gymwear or casual relaxation clothes.

=== Functionality ===
The unit is heavily optimised for health and diet monitoring and workouts, almost to the exclusion of virtually anything else. Attempts to get the unit to do household chores ended miserably in abject failure, and while it does have a vaginal entry, its sex capabilities are heavily limited to being a mostly passive doll with limited motion and speech responses in that regard. It even continues tracking calorie burn and 'cardio workouts' during such activity.
Personality wise, the unit is a health freak, recommending and preparing healthier options and meals optimized for the workout style of the user. It can be brought around somewhat, but it is heavily encoded for fitness and healthy eating, and will probably fare poorly at an average restaurant or social event. This unit is very economical, and is not intended for use as a Spousal unit but rather as a side-clanker, like a skipping rope or a favorite pair of running shoes.
The unit is perfectly capable of handling the same kinds of workouts as an average person, lifting weights of up to 200kg, allowing it to spot lighter weight lift workouts. It is also capable of extended marathon-level runs, though a full charge is advised when using the unit in prolonged endurance workouts.
Assembled or disassembled, the smartdevice app for controlling this unit also doubles as an interface to share your meals and workout with it in case one does not want to bring it along to a workout.
It also interfaces very well with HealthLink-compatible fitness gear such as the multi-workout-mode gym setup I tried with this unit during the review week. On non-compatible gear or on activities not involving such gear such as outdoor biking or jogging, though , it needs to manually read and confirm workout details with the user, which can slow down the pace of workouts in such cases.

=== Recommendations ===
[[File:Runbot v2089 nude photo.png|thumb|left|A Runbot 2089 from Arendtcore Robotics, freshly assembled and powered on in a hotel room prior to working out at the hotel gym.]]
This unit is great for the workout freak who needs a wingman in the gym or on the road, but doesn't want to or can't task their own family or another person with the job on a regular basis. A proper human trainer and nutritionist would still be recommended as someone to keep in the loop when using the Runbot, but it has its use case, and at the economical price of the unit, it is a pretty decent if slightly over-luxury alternative to a FitByte tracker watch on your wrist. If you're into lifting heavier weights exceeding 200kg regularly, you may want to opt for another gymbot design that is much more robust.

''A review unit was provided to the reviewer by Arendtcore Robotics on a "honesty even if it's brutal" basis for this article for two weeks. The hotel stay was paid for out of the reviewer's own pocket due to their personal desire for a holiday at the time this review was conducted.''

User:Handle2/Arendtcore Employee Package Excerpts

2026-04-18T10:05:20Z

Handle2: /* Strange New Folks: Cat People? In Our Town? Yes. */ Picture added of old Catdroid

== Introduction ==
This page contains declassified and publicly available random snippets of info as provided in the Employee Packages to all new Employees of Arendtcore Minnesota and its subsidiaries. It does not include any data that is still considered company secrets or that requires specifically contacting Arendtcore staff members or gaining specific internal company clearances as noted in the original documents. To reduce size, most items are transcribed as text and only photos or pictures relevant to the interests of FembotWiki and not infringing on site rules are made available.

== Newbie Employee Package ==
=== Housing Programme ===
An Arendtcore Employee should not be homeless or sleeping in the back of their jalopy except during camping trips or long drives through places with problematic access to proper accomodation. The Company also believes that a proper home can forge deeper ties between an Employee and the Company and Little Sanctuary community As such Arendtcore Minnesota provides free housing to all employees of the company or its subsidiaries (at any level of importance or job level). The following conditions must be met to access the Housing Programme. Failure to do so will result in a probationary period to gain eligibility to the Housing programme or a valid waiver to access the Housing Programme without meeting its requirements, followed by retrenchment and exile from the Little Sanctuary corporate region.

# '''2 Adults in Consenting Relationship of any close nature, or''' - The company will accept at least two consenting adults in a relationship as valid for participation in Arendtcore Housing. The main holder MUST be a Arendtcore employee, but the other adult can be either another Arendtcore employee with proof of committment of at least 2 years to a proper relationship with said adult such as boyfriend/girlfriend pairings or marriages. Children cannot be counted for the purpose of this clause, but will be taken into account when assigning housing as another member of said relationship.
# '''Bunk with at least one Familes Programme - provided unit.''' - in the event that there is only one adult in a housing unit and no other adult is available to form a relationship, the Company will require you to accept at least one Spousal unit matching your sexual preferences and Psychological Profiling / specified desired traits either for free or at additional cost depending on choosiness. You may elect to add on at least one Child Unit on top of said Spousal Unit as a long-term salary garnish option. Again, actual children in the relationship will not be accepted as counting towards the '2 Adults in a Consenting Relationship' rule.
# '''Your sexual preferences are NOT our concern. Mostly.''' - it's your life to live how you want. We do not believe in discriminatory laws and will often turn a deaf ear through the profligate use of lawyers and legal writ. If you're trans, homo, ace, pan, bi, omni, or some other color of the LGBT flag, you're welcome to find a House and be a neighbour to others, the nature of your 'Consenting Relationship' will not matter in Rule 1 as long as it is not explictly defined as illegal in Minnesota state law (which is extremely lenient and forgiving as of 2040 onwards )
# '''You will not have a say in what house or location you get (Exceptions Noted)''' - Housing is randomly alloted based on the requirements of each family, not even the top level staff of Arendtcore get to leap over the AI that makes the decisions in this matter. Exceptions MAY be granted if one can prove that the family requires it for medical or religious reasons.
# '''Quitting? Turn in your keys.''' - Any Arendtcore Employee retrenched will be granted 30 days to find a new home and job outside Little Sanctuary, or a new job within the Company for either themselves or another Adult member of the company. At the end of 30 days, any relationship grouping without any Arendtcore employment will be required to turn in their keys and find a new home and job outside of Little Sanctuary. Exceptions may be granted temporarily or otherwise for genuine medical-related unfitness to work, or need to care for at least one child under 18, or to participants granted access under the Refugee Programme clauses.
# '''No extensive renovations''' - to avoid unhappy neighbours, please clear with your Housing Programme coordinator any significant renovations you wish to make.
# '''Castle Doctrine''' - alarm systems and less-lethal repellent devices are legal for use in Little Sanctuary, and intruders may be shot with less-lethal devices of any type by the owner of the house being intruded into.
# '''We'll ask first''' - in the event that a home is required for Company purposes, the Company will give at least 7 working days of notice to the house holder. The holder may reject the request unless it is related to work-related matters during work hours. This is NOT an invite to include unreasonable requests - please alert your Housing Coordinator if you feel this clause is being abused to gain unjustified access to your home.

=== Families Programme ===
The Families Programme is a system run to help loners in Little Sanctuary meet the most basic requirement needed to access proper housing and keep Arendtcore employment in Little Sanctuary. It is NOT a dating service or whorehouse, though elements of it do actively seek to pair biological males and females together as a first preference. Our aim here is to help people forge roots to keep them in Little Sanctuary in tougher times.

Sadly, we're a bit of a sausage factory, so that isn't possible for a marked majority of our members...

# '''Try to pair up''' - Ideally, we would like actual human men and women to get to know each other and cohabitate, if not outright marry each other and start having real kids. This has always been our Priority 1, despite the major advancements in provision of our alternative choices. Demographic Collapse is real, and we are trying our best to fight it on our end, just like the rest of the world. This is one of the purposes of efforts such as company gatherings and events as well as dating circles sponsored by Arendtcore outside of the office.
# '''Failing which, would you like a spousal unit?''' - we provide a wide range of Arendtcore-engineered solutions to resolve loneliness where 100% biological cohabitation is not an option. All Arendtcore employees may access one Spousal Unit for a period of at least 50 years, including free or cheap medical care for themselves or their new loved one. This unit is provided based on a careful psychological assessment of desires and needs, in many cases can be given free of charge or at a competitive prepaid or salary garnish rate, with basic Cooking/Cleaning/Cardio/Callisthenics/Companionship/Coitus capabilities. Optionally, one may add child units as well as a low-priced ongoing salary garnish option to expand the family further.
# '''Not Necessarily human-like or Arendtcore based''' - in recent years, we have explored providing options for Spousals or Child Units that are not necessarily human-like or based primarily on Arendtcore tech or designs. If we determine that your psych profile fits such an assignment we will stretch somewhat to fill it accordingly. This includes imports from other brands, and provision of proper Medicalcare for such units. Such units will more likely be heavily subsidised as a prepaid or salary garnish option rather than free.
# '''Not a wife swap service''' - while we allow for one or two swaps initially as one finds a fitting Spousal or child unit, this is not a service that lets you change your Spousal or child units like jalopies every few years. Upgrades and aging are possible, but not swaps of units on a regular basis. Swaps of units entering the end of their support or operating life are possible, but we try to offer a seamless or less seamed transition path to newer models as much as possible.

===The Replacement Goldfish Red Flag Rule===
by Seamus Arendt

I recognise that some of you amongst our robotics order and production divisions are asking about this weird rule that is in the Company Code. Let me explain exactly why we forbid any production that replicates a person, living or otherwise, who is related in some way to the customer.

Replacement Goldfish are basically ordered to replace someone the customer may have loved. This unfortunately guarantees disappointment with the final product sooner or later. maybe it's a visual flaw, maybe it's a problem in the way they move not matching up. maybe it's a difference in the way they process and make decisions not matching up to the original.

We are not going to produce a unit that is bogged down with prior expectations. When we put a unit into the hands of a customer, it is with the expectation that it will enhance their life and provide them with some form of satisfaction for years to come. Creating a unit that is guaranteed to disappoint however hard we push the envelop on technical quality is a fool's endeavor and will do neither of those things for the customer. They say the Customer is Always Right. I need to stress that that only applies to selected aspects of the order. If that order is wrong in other ways the maxim doesn't cover, we should look out for them and advise against such orders.

If you disagree with me on a particular order, please feel free to file a protest with Legal for review, and cc a copy of it to Psychology. 9 times out of 10, I guarantee a rejection. The one time you get the go ahead, it is only because Psychology determines that the production WILL improve the customer's life contrary to usual expectations... But what I have just stated is the usual expectation, and it will stand up pretty well. Can't hurt to try asking though, we HAVE nade exceptions a few times with great care.

And that, folks, is my thought on this matter for today.

===The Demographic Disaster===
by Seamus Arendt

To understand my long-term goals in creating Arendtcore initially as a robotics company and pushing the envelope continuously on so many aspects of our products, one starts from the problem I think we all have.

Since 2040, when I was a wee laddie corralling my brotherhood of kindred in a dinky frat house in Minnesota National Institute of Technologies (MINT), there has been an ongoing demographic collapse around the world. For every 10 natural women capable of the full range of human capability including reproduction for a new generation, there are 90 men out there. In some places, this imbalance is even more out of kilter such as Little Sanctuary, Singapora, the Chinajapese Empire's holdings or even New Russia. We can see the earliest attempts to deal with this post-Despotic Years quandry in the earliest super-realistic sexdolls these places began to produce: finely sculpted, but crude effigies based on materials we would never dream of using now for their potential healthrisks or lack of durability or flexibility. But these efforts did happen, and we must acknowledge them.

Ideally, I would like to find some tech that lets us resolve this quandry - actual women with actual capabilities to love and have pregnancies balancing out this imbalance. But I've roamed the world for ages, funding various efforts. Many good and genuinely intended projects, perhaps my share of con jobs, and so far, I have to sadly admit my luck at finding a scalable solution that isn't just chucking embryos into souless artificial birthing chambers or oppressing women into becoming breeding mules has NOT matched my fervent desire to solve the demographic disaster.

In the interim, it is rather unfortunate, but I can only focus on what I ''can'' do. I can engineer stopgaps. My brother Bellamy has excelled at creating lifelike AI constructs since we partied and he needed the cash to meet his school fees and enjoy his emo music. Marcus Manners is a sculptor par excellence, and Aymee Ichigo has always been great at seeing the potential issues each of our decisions could cause - we do regret it a little that she has gone on to greater heights and left us a little blind, really.

Throw these four lunatics and a few million in inherited wealth, and what does one get? Excellence in inorganic people.

Yes, I'm aware some of our staff are women who have opted for malebots for company, and that is being addressed whenever we can by our various programmes to encourage the pairing of actual biological adults together. But that loneliness inherent in a vast majority of the global male population, our town included, needs to be temporarily subsumed by something or other or it will potentially destroy our species even faster, in my humble belief. The True American Union and Europa threw their over-population of young adult men into a destructive conflict to whittle the numbers. China and Japan going to war wasn't about land, but about attrition between men with no way to sublimate their desire for female companionship into hatred for each other's flags.

War works in the short term to address the overbias of our world towards men, but in the long run, war between our places will only kill all of us.

Frankly, I'd rather give every man someone to love instead, even if I have to resort to artificiality and pretense to ease the pain. At least that way, if the descent is inevitable, it will be a slower, more quiet death for our species. Heck, maybe I'll get lucky and the robots will replace us gradually and nothing of value will have been lost by the time they become sophisticated enough to do this exactly.

And that, folks, is my thought on this matter for today.

=== Does She(He) ''Really'' Need a Working Vagina(Penis)? ===
by Bellamy Arendt

Some folks are slightly disturbed by the fact that whenever we engineer a humanlike android, we always provide them with at least a semblance of a vagina or penis based on their designated gender, if not actual fully working (albeit non-reproductive) units. Heck, we've even gone to war with the Federals over our child units having non-functional but sculpted genitalia, though this is mainly a settled matter now.

Is this risk even necessary? Short answer: yes.

Long answer: let me explain something we really try hard to do when we make humanlike androids - we try to humanize them as much as possible. They are not your disposable plastic people. They are people who will have a life of some sort outside of their duties, and perhaps even a post-retirement phase where they find new duties to accomplish.

if that outside life includes the whole spectrum of human experience, it occurs to The Four Of Us here that denying them one of the more significant human experiences, that of procreation in a consensual relationship without coercion of power or ignorance of the facts, even with zero chances of actually creating anything more than good feelings, that itself is an absolute injustice. It draws a line between us and them, one which we are not prepared to accept when we've already going this far in realism and human-like thought.

It has always been that way since we first put together our first life-like units, and yes, again, it has gotten us into trouble before. But we haven't changed our minds for 40 years, just so you know.

We've already thrown the Feds a bone in making said stuff non functional in our Under-18 units. Do NOT expect us to go any further in cutting ourselves on this. In fact, if we somehow work out how to make androids capable of proper human reproduction, expect us to get worse - heck, we may not even publicise that until it's too late to stuff things back in the bottle.... hell, it may already be happening... don't ask for confirmation or denial on that though!

We Four have always been chaos agents, even as we settle down to make sure so many of you have a stable life in our stable. If you were expecting a more nuanced approach to the matter, you haven't been paying attention, and you're only setting up for severe disappointment with us.... We aren't offering refunds, you joined our circus knowing we were fucked up in the head on so many things. And you can file a dispute with your superiors at Office Hours on this or leave Arendtcore if it upsets you that much.

So there!

=== Strange New Folks: Cat People? In Our Town? Yes. ===
by Marcus Manners
[[File:Arendtcore Educational Unit Mark 2.png|thumb|left|Old Arendtcore Educational Unit Mark 2 dressed and programmed as a catdroid, as stowed in Arendtcore Historical Archives - previously used to educate younger children in Little Sanctuary, especially schools involving students with differently measured intellectual capabilities, and other concerns with official Arendtcore involvement. Wear and tear on these models in earlier iterations occurred at an accelerated rate compared to most Arendtcore designs, especially outdoors, and such staff were replaced every five years in related institutions.]]
In recent weeks, some of you may have sworn to be seeing hallucinations, that of people who are human-sized shortstack bipedal cats walking around. I wish to confirm that, yes, Cat People from Arendtcore are a thing now in Little Sanctuary, on a limited deployment basis.

==== Who Are The Cy-Furs? ====
This oddity draws from a project which we did in the earliest years of Little Sanctuary. Our society has always had a skew from the average in many aspects. One of these is the prevalence of conditions that create learning difficulties with conventional curricula and teaching in our children. Some folks would be unkind and call them 'retarded'. We have a more enlightened belief that this merely means their capabilities have been expressed in other forms rather than the basic IQ. And in chasing a proper education for our kids, we tried something really interesting.

Enter The Cyfurs. We took our basic Android technology, and then added animal-like characteristics to them via the application of relevant fur/scale/other animal coverings and sculpts angled more towards stylised representations of animals. A whole forest of creatures, if you will. These units were deployed as teachers, cafe staff, even backoffice support within 'special ed' schools such as "Special Little Sparks" in Little Sanctuary.

Concerns about furry fandom scuttled a wider deploy initially. What made us change our minds? The prevalence of incidents involving our cat Cy-Furs being kept online past their intended retirement and removal dates, really. Some folks got into relations with units and were practically prepared to go to war with us on the obsoleting process for aged Cat Cy-Furs.

When you have folks like that, you can either make enemies of them... or admit that they may have a point and let go of your fears and restraint on the matter. Hence the increasing number of Cat Cy-Furs in public release. These are NOT a product we are going to release per se for the moment - you either find them assigned to you in Families, wandering about your neighbourhood working on things that benefit your locale, or were one of those early unauthorised Cat lovers. They are exclusive to Little Sanctuary and maybe a few external subsidiaries where education is a priority.

Here are some issues with the current deploy we wish to address.

==== Common Cat Cy-Fur Issues ====

* '''Why are half of them wearing anoraks?''' The current deploy of Cat Cy-Furs have a issue where any wind stronger than a light breeze causes painful audio feedback in their ears. We are working on a patch or hardware fix for this issue, but in the meantime, many in the Cat Cy-Fur community have found that covering their ears with any sort of protection - muffs, hats with room for cat ears, even anoraks - helps when walking outdoors in stronger winds.
* '''Are these guys... yiffable?''' Yes. Despite being stylised models, they are entitled to the same access to the human condition as many other human-like Arendtcore androids, which means they have genitalia compatible with both each other, as well as humans. This doesn't mean you get to go around wildly cornholing them, and it also means they don't get to go into the cartoon trope of not wearing lower garments - if you see a Cat Cyfur wandering around without any skirt or pants, hand them a pair and tell them to stop streaking in our community, thanks.
* '''Will there be other species of Cy-Fur added to the mix in public?''' We are already having interesting issues just focusing on cats. The potential replication of interspecies relations between Cat Cyfurs is already an interesting issue too. We would rather not make things even more interesting with other forms of Cy-Fur until we're absolutely read in on what the cats introduce.
* '''Cattie?''' is a term we've heard some less enlightened members of our town use to disparage Cat Cy-Furs. You do remember our general stance on discrimination of any sort, right? IT APPLIES HERE: We don't encourage it, and we don't want it in our town! To their credit, the cat cyfur community is already blunting the edge on this species hatred by using the term on each other themselves, much like black folks using the n-word.
* '''But I'm allergic to cats!''' The fur used on cat cyfurs is a hardwearing, hypoallergenic artificial variant. it's all in your mind if they make your sniffle or sneeze, bro.
* '''Their caterwauling is loud at night!''' Again, see "are these guys yiffable". We ARE trying our best to educate them that it's not good to keep your neighbours up. But if you start getting frisky and horny, maybe stop blaming them for your lack of sleep, okay?
* '''Are there any Cat Cy-Furs that resemble xxx shorthairs?''' representation of some of the most common housecat species excepting Siamese in Cat Cyfurs is a thing.
* '''Any advice for dealing with Cat Cyfurs?''' They have been engineered with a blend of both human and cat characteristics. This combination has proven volatile, and you should always assume there's a half-chance that their response to something you offer or do is more cat and less human, despite their intellect matching up with other humans and androids. Avoid handling catnip or cat toys around them - not all Cat Cy-Furs will fall into cat behavior when faced with cat things, but a lot of them will. Above all, we would appreciate if the community gives them a chance and treats them mostly like humans, occasional cat behaviors not withstanding.
* '''Meow?''' Meow.

And that's about the size of it, folks.

== Little Sanctuary Oddities ==
=== Local Jargon ===
As Little Sanctuary as a town has developed in ways both far ahead of its surrounding neighbouts (extremely bleeding edge tech run amok) and far behind (design cues taken from an Americana that hasn't existed for centuries), it has culturally also become a bit of a 'weird ass place'. This includes the language, which, while supposedly American English mixed from both Unions as well as the Neutral States, also acquired some pretty interesting local colloquialisms. Some of those colloquialisms have been excerpted from the local dictionary here:
* '''Fuck-Me-To-Tilt:''' Used originally by self-aware inorganics to denote sex so good for them that it causes them to temporarily enter a state of recoverable non-functionality. Has gradually also caught on with organics in Little Sanctuary for the same reasons albeit in organic terms. Contrast with: Fuck-Me-To-Scrap, Fuck-Me-To-Pieces

* '''catties:''' originally used to denote Arendtcore units based off Cyberkitty technology, which are often denoted by their being human-sized bipedal cats, often in anoraks when outdoors. Previously a slur, has been stolen by Cyberkitty culture and groupings, and more open-minded partners with prior consent for their own affectionate uses. "Yo yo yo, how me catties doing today?" "He's a cattie, but he's our cattie!"

* '''sleeper mode:''' a mode toggle on Arendtcore units (and many other competing brands) that allows a inorganic unit to operate without awareness of its true basis in circuitry and plastic rather than biological systems at a cost in increased complexity in operations and maintenance. Sometimes used as a slur to put down people considered epically stupid. e.g. "Omigod, that guy is such a idiot!" "Yeah, it's like he's on sleeper mode or some shit."

* '''The Complex''': used in a Little Sanctuary context, it can only mean one thing - The Arendtcore offices and main factory complex as located in the heart of Little Sanctuary, and the spot where many of the Original Districts that Little Sanctuary initially gathered together as a corporate town.

* '''Original Districts / OhDees : ''' The original districts that Little Sanctuary was first formed into from parts of Ohio that had voted earliest to become part of Arendtcore's corporate enclave proposal. Numbered 1-35. There has been little scope creep as newer districts have been added to the list of currently 178 districts.

* '''The Four''': refers to the original four founders of Arendtcore (as well as Little Sanctuary later on) - Marcus Manners, Aymee Ichigo, Seamus Arendt, and Bellamy Arendt.

* '''rejuve''': therapies designed to slow down or even (salacious rumor has it) reverse aging. The result is a society where one's age cannot be readily determined by one's appearance - many people look considerably younger than their actual age. Actually asking for ID to check ages for age-limited activities or purchases is a common and justified form of paranoia within Little Sanctuary.

* '''HAF''' : a drug supposedly obtained from the burning of human analogue flesh at high temperatures, meant to induce highs followed by paranoia. This claim has been disputed by Arendtcore as none of the precursors of Human Analogue Flesh have any use in any form of drug meant to induce a high.

* '''pop''': remove or slide back a cover to internals or an access panel. Not recommended outside of controlled conditions due to how it exposes delicate circuitry to the hazards offered by the world.

* '''Despo years''': refers to the Despotic Years, the years in which original America fragmented into its current condition due to despotic rule from Wash District to the East and protesting states hiving off in protest mainly in the West. The repeated nuclear incidents did not help matters.

* '''incomers''': refers to newcomers who have just made it past the gates of Little Sanctuary for long term purposes such as emigration or employment in Little Sanctuary

* '''indies''': refers to people who live in Little Sanctuary for the purpose of employment at a business not directly related to Arendtcore or its subsidiaries. As such businesses are officially not permitted to exist within Little Sanctuary, "indies" are very rare to encounter outside of very small local businesses such as grocers, hairdressers, independent fashion and artists, for whom the payment of taxes to Little Sanctuary is considered a "license fee" for limited rights to the Arendtcore brand, in order to skirt the requirement of direct employment within the Arendtcore family as a conditon to live within Little Sanctuary

* '''spousal''': refers to inorganics issued to a Arendtcore employee under the Families programme to function as a spouse (hence the term)

* '''rat''': not quite the demeaning term or yucky animal most people think of them as. Usually refers to Greater Minnesotan Rats, which when properly bred and vaccinated can function as pets or food. Much of the meat you see in Minnesota is rat. Much of the meat you see in Little Sanctuary is rat processed into a deniable state.

* '''square''': a central location for groups of several districts, where many shared facilities and shops are emplaced to both serve the districts and foster engagement and closer ties amongst residents. Often host to interesting activities such as the Charity Pie Bake Contests, the Live Art Concerns, and the Humors and Rumors news and comedy events.

* '''Five Minute Love''': a corruption of the Five Minute Hates of 1984, where one person points out something 'worth loving' and the rest of the grouping spend the next five minutes or so following on with more declarations of how it is loved, or staying silent. To protest against a FML is considered impolite in Little Sanctuary society unless the item in question is clearly the subject of much opprobium e.g. Great Leader Drurutus of the True American Union, or pineapple pizza, or even the overuse of the color blue in some districts (such as 47). Rumored to have originated as a practice on ancient social media systems.

* '''bar mitzvah/bat mitzvah''': corrupted from its original use as a Jewish celebration of a child approaching the age of reason - in Little Sanctuary this usually refers to Child Units issued under the Familites Programme celebrating reaching a major stage in their aging (9-10, 11-12, 13-15, 16-17, 18+), mainly to update others who know them of their new form and identity. Has gradually also spread to organic children, though parents in this case may not be as strict about the stages defined.

* '''Originals''': refers to people who can lay claim to being part of the first wave of people who formed Arendtcore and established Little Sanctuary.

* '''fibrovasculars/fibros''': a term that has entered popular usage somehow, despite being a very technical term. Refers to the elements that make up the iris and provide its color in organics originally, now refers to the entire iris of an eye. "That girl has some amazing deep blue fibros." Has been partially corrupted by the introduction of false similar elements into visual sensors intended to be lifelike.

* '''power cells''': corrupted by the regular use of breasts in female organic units as power storage volumes, now refers as slang to boobs on female inorganics or organics now except when otherwise clearly indicated. "Wow, check out the power cells on that chick." Also see: fuel belly, charge dong.

* '''Angels''': a popular local equivalent to Hooters. Irish-American Diner theme, lots of blue and white sky colors, regular limited time specials on foods made from edible invasive species in America renamed to the same angel theming. Also refers to its waitresses in subtly skimpy angel-themed dress outfits. For some curious reason, the same three waitresses can be seen in all 6 outlets around Little Sanctuary, and multiple instances of the same waitress can even be seen next to each other occasionally. The mananagement siply explains this peculiar occurence as "they just want to be with all of you at once", but this is more likely to be due to the use of template-based waitress androids.

* '''Former Child Unit''': refers to Child Units that have been gradually aged into adulthood (presenting as 18 or older) and qualifying for the privileges and responsibilites of normal adulthood within Little Sanctuary society, including registration as a new generation of Spousal Units

* '''Lastditch (without the space)''': Refers to the LASTDITCH Project, a last effort to build a realistic lifelike android funded on the last dollars that Arendtcorp had at one point in time that proved wildly successful and revitalized the company into a massively acquisitional coglomerate. See also: Final Fantasy, Hail Mary Plays, Success Or Bust

* '''Holograph''': the use of lasers to produce an image in midair. In Little Sanctuary, refers to inorganics whose main appearance is projected by a holographic emitter rather than being based in actual physical matter. A fair word of warning: the use of holographs does not necessarily preclude the ability to significantly affect things - hardlight holograms have been abused before to crack open locked doors before.

* '''Ciphers''': a corruption of the word Cy-Fur, referring to Arendtcore's growiing range of androids based off stylised bipedal animals. Groups with heavily specific focuses may opt to use a different slang to refer to themselves (e.g. catties, woozies, burrs)

* '''Nothing to the East, Nothing to the West''': a mentality espoused by certain dumber descendants of earlier generations to settle in Little Sanctuary. The continued intake of new talent and ideas into, and continued journeys and exports from Little Sanctuary only disproves this generally-frowned-upon philosophy.

* '''sixie''': slang, denotes an inorganic based on a platform that allows reversible disassembly into six or more discrete pieces (hence the terming) for the purposes of easier transport and storage. Used to be a slur denoting lower intellect as many such platforms used to house lower computational power, obsoleted by recent advances in computing power on such systems.

* '''brought my wife to a gun fight''': corruption of 'bring a knife to a gun fight'. References the awkward reality that some newly immigrated members into Little Sanctuary did not come from peaceful places, and is a warning not to underestimate or bring strife to immigrants from other places because they may literally be packing a wife with actual cannons built in or other survival skills designed to cause regret.

* '''Mode-Switch''': Originally a technique used by older lower-end android models to handle multiple domains of requirements with limited memory referencing capabilities. Now cannibalised as a derogatory descriptive for people, biological or otherwise, who are slow to switch tracks or mindsets when a situation requires it to happen faster. E.g. "I'd have thought he'd respond faster to the issue we raised." "Huh. You expected a guy with a mode-switch brain to respond fast to an urgent issue?"

* '''Cornfeds''': a derogatory term to describe migrants to Little Sanctuary from the True American Union region. It goes without saying, of course, that we do NOT encourage the use of such a slur. Besides, the TAU switched to lower quality thick-grain rice quite early in Drurutus' reign. We have no idea where this term even came from as a reference to them. If you have any idea, please contact the compilers of this dictionary (The Little Sanctuary Lingo Book)

* '''Middlelers''': a term to describe people who came to Little Sanctuary from middle America (i.e. the Neutral / Battleground states, states that never swore allegiance formally to the Free American or True American Unions). Not a slur, but still discouraged in light of official policy to make people feel part of the family as fast as possible.

* '''Edelweiss''': Originally a reference to a beautiful mountain flower. Now used to warn others that someone, biological or otherwise, is a high-maintenance but man-hungry sybarite. See: 'manbeast' for male equivalent. Reference probably derives from the infamous Arendtcore 'Edelweiss', considered a elite-grade sex android for those who can order one without first asking for the price and then waiting the six months (most can't) - all five people a year since its commercial debut in 2085.

* '''D-Line / Disassembly Line''': Refers to an old policy where obsolete android units in Little Sanctuary were fully disassembled and recycled. No longer enacted, because of popular protests and changes in how people view androids within Little Sanctuary society from 'disposable people' to 'just another guy/girl who deserves to have a decent life'. Now usually used to refer to something that is totally FUBAR, or irreversibly destroyed. E.g. "Anyway you look at it, this unit's chassis is a real D-Line situation... but at least the memory core can be restored into a new unit." See also: "Android Auschwitz", "We Are Not Disposable". "End-Of-Line"

* '''registry tatt''': a skin tattoo on Android parts used to denote the unit it belonged to. A tracking and anti-trafficking measure to reduce theft of parts off androids, usually pretty much useless except as decoration compared to internal hardburnt credentials on read-only firmware components and embedded chips.

* '''left side of the bed''': refers to the side of the bed usually reserved for inductive chargers for gynoids in a queen or larger-sized bed. Contrast with 'right side of the bed', which is where inductive charger pads for male-specced androids are rested for recharging in such beds. It is not known exactly where this policy derives from, but it is no longer officially enforced, but rather a innate habit passed down generation by generation to each new group of Family Programme participants as conventions to follow for an easier time when dealing with Spousal Units based on inorganics.

== Exotic Imported Androids of Little Sanctuary : BESM-HCP ==
''by Henry Buffercluck''

I came over to Little Sanctuary after the Armistice ended hostilities between the Free American Union and the True American Union a few years back in favor of the TAU focusing its attention on attacks by Europa. I have different tastes from the local folk here, it has to be honestly admitted. So when the Housing Programme asked me if I wanted a Spousal Unit, I agreed, but requested to supply my own unit, who now answers to me as Luna... This article is written based on information provided to Little Sanctuary's reviewing authorities for the initial purpose of approving the import of the BESM-HCP as built by the Eldos Products - TAU Military "Love For Soldiers" Joint Project and declassified info I was able to access.

=== BESM? ===
The actual deacronymisation of BESM in the name of this unit remains a TAU classified detail and was never disclosed to me. However, wags in both sides of the war have coined their own, such as
* "Battle Endoskeleton, Small Model",
* "Battle Ending Small Maiden",
* "Bitch with Extremely Suspicious Motives",
* "Busty Exploding Suicidal Munition",
* "Bloody Evil Stilleto Machine"
* "Big Eyes, Small Mouth"
and many other coinages based on characteristics of the unit as well as their personal experiences with the unit either during the War, or during the current Thaw. Personally, I prefer the "Big Eyes, Small Mouth", since it's more peaceful AND describes a peculiar trait of the BESM series of androids - they have extremely large eyes and extremely small mouths. The large eyes allowed for larger multi-mode eyes, and the smaller mouth... well, something had to give to fit those extra large eyeballs.

It has to be borne in mind that this was a exotic unit issued mainly to higher-level commissioned officers as a confidant and gopher, was often deployed as a heavily overboosted weapons system, a psychological torture/manipulation system, or as a form of espionage drone depending on ops requirements. As such, personal experiences with the unit tend to differ depending on which end of the unit you ran into. Free American Union veterans tend to be much less complimentary in their deacronymisations as they often got the short end of the stick when dealing with this android type during the War. True American Unionists tend to be more praiseworthy, with maybe a bit too much writing extolling the virtues of feminity and loyalty paraded by the design.

=== BESM-HCP ===
The HCP in "BESM-HCP" stands for "Human Companionship Protocol". This variant of the BESM post-dates the Armistice as signed by both sides of the WAr, and is unusual in that it is issued only to civilians who have provided service resulting in a high-level commendation during the war either as a conscript or a enlisted troop in the TAU.

Many of the systems that characterise the performance of the BESM series are either removed or heavily disabled, or replaced with generics that can be sourced anywhere in the world allowing civilians who own such BESM units to export them anywhere outside of the True American Union. This means a heavy loss of power, speed and processing capability, and BESM-HCPs often exhibit clumsy, seemingly dumb, and often child-like behaviors on occasion as a result. However, this also allows for more flexible programming of behaviors, as well as a complete decoupling from the TAU military systems that the BESM series normally is heavily reliant on for long-term operation.

The general shortness of the unit (1.49m or so depending on modifications by the user), this means the unit is often mistaken as a child especially when exhibiting more child-like behaviours on occasion and/or when wearing clothes intended for younger children that fit its frame. It was in fact a little touch-and-go for me as to whether my unit would be approved, or whether I would have to appeal, or send it back home to the TAU for reassignment. Fortunately nicer minds prevailed. In any case, the unit remains incredibly overbuilt and survivable, and people who have seen my wife at the swimming pool have often remarked on how much she is built stoutly like a very small brick fence. (Yes, BESM-HCPs can swim, and very well - another capability that either couldn't be removed or wasn't deemed worth removing.)

=== Repairs and Maintenance ===
Having a non-Arendtcore unit for a Spousal Unit or Child Unit in Little Sanctuary poses additional problems for owners who bring them in. To begin with, Medicalcare may not necessarily be an available option. the local system does support selected non-Arendtcore brands and models, but this is very iffy, and relying on it is not an option. The owner needs to have enough competence to service their android on their own and sufficient access to spares and consumables as required of their unit, or access to a competent authority in maintenance or repairs of their chosen android.

Fortunately, the demilitarization of the BESM-HCP design also means that parts can be sourced from virtually anywhere or even printed at home on a proper mesh printer, subject to the quality you desire in the parts being serviced. I also have some technical chops from working on the Love For Soldiers Project for several years, and this has allowed me to understand how the model is built, and why it stops working or starts acting up whenever it does with just a little examination in most cases. Anyone who opts for an import model of any sort needs to consider if they can learn the skills and spares required to service their android or if they can access such expertise and parts within Little Sanctuary.

=== Configuration and Programming ===
The replacement of classified processing chipsets with a Generis KVP530 CPU chipset means the BESM-HCP, though considerably more underpowered than its military counterparts, can be easily reprogrammed through the alteration of open-source code on its supplied microboards. A surprising amount of complexity is possible depending on the technical chops of the person implementing these microboards, and I was fortunately enough to find someone who could implement a relatively robust learning system. My wife basically learns from experience and from the basic act of living, though the system has its limits and running into something particularly out-of-field or esoteric has caused system freezes ever so often. This happens a lot less with normal situations though. She still sucks at cooking, mind.

=== Survivability and Looks ===
The BESM-HCP doesn't have any of the scary things that made the BESM series a nightmare to take down during the war, but it IS heavily overbuilt for its size, and it allows the owner to use components that focus less on branding and more on economy, build quality and/or resilience as desired. As a result, Luna does look a little like a brick house when nude or in skimpier clothing, but I still adore her very much as is. Another thing to note is that the Big Eyes Small Mouth facial design is very cute, and psychological manipulation of others using its characteristics has been noted. Go on, ask me how I know.

=== Sexual Capability ===
The BESM-HCP makes use of generics as seen in many modern sex toy products to provide a sufficient (at least to me) vaginal experience. The mouth of the unit, while visually small at first glance, has been known to expand a lot to fit some considerably larger things. And she has no gag reflex - I didn't configure or program her to gag from stuff in her throat, really. No backdoor though - that's where the digester waste comes out and I'm not keen to risk contact with whatever's left after the fact.

=== Getting along in the Community ===
A BESM-HCP is basically either a very mature but short woman, or one posing as a kid through clothing and behavioral choices. Both modes have been employed by my wife on everyone she meets to various extents. While supposedly less smart, it is still very scary to me how she can go from being a friendly kid to a child or elderly person who seems to need a partner or a listening ear in the parks, to being a sophisticated lady at parties and social interactions with actual adults. At some point, she started to learn how to switch between modes on her own rather than via owner prompting, and I don't even know when it happened. That learning system is scary as heck when you think about it...

Or maybe she still had that capability from when she was still a military model. I have no idea, frankly. It's all voodoo to me at this point - I just know enough to diagnose most issues with her I have.

One issue that Luna DOES have is her Eastern accent. It is a bit thicker than it should be, and sometimes that leads to confusion or misheard things. This is a issue with the vocal synthesizer she uses, and I'm still looking for a better replacement. But that accent IS charming to me, seeing as I grew up around ladies who spoke like that, and I may wind up just living with the issue...

Imported to Little Sanctuary from the True American Union (TAU) in 2090 - demilitarized model of BESM warbot that severely trades processing capability, speed, power, and survivability for use case flexibility, autonomy and ease of repairThis is a front view of the unit after unpacking and unwrapping, with front access panel exposed. This provides both a power switch and accelerated charging via a directly plugged in generic 280V female plug where inductive charging is either unavailable or too slow for desired needs. This unit operates according to its supplied Personality programmable microboards.This android is non-reproductive sexually capable with oral and vaginal sexual options installed. A marked note is that this unit skirts dangerously close to breaking rules on what adult-model androids are allowed to be imported into Little Sanctuary as it is relatively short (1.49m, almost dwarven) and has often been mistaken for a child when dressed in child-size clothing, The only dead giveaways is how stout it is for its height, and the usual use of mature-aged female personalities.

This provides slots for inserting microboards for Personality, Skillsets desired, and Knowledge bases. Without these microboards, the android is basically a lifeless plastic doll.Located on the neck and usually hidden from view are Reset and Power buttons which may be used by authorised uers only to power down the unit as they operate biometrically and will reject operating attempts by non-registered users.

Handle2: /* Wife Units - An Unusual Necessity In Little Sanctuary */

== Wife Units - An Unusual Necessity For An Unusual Place ==
''by Aymee Ichigo''
(excerpted from Little Sanctuary Inquirer - NSFW Edition, 16th April 2083 issue)
[[File:Wife Unit Storage.png|upright=1.5|frameless|left|A warehouse storing various Wife Units in various stages of readiness for shipping out to Arendtcore Families Programme participants who opt for an inorganic option when they are required to take a wife as part of their eligibility requirements for the Little Sanctuary Housing Programme]]

The Families Programme and Housing Programme are two of Little Sanctuary and Arendtcore's hallmark initiatives and one of the ways we strongly encourage employee loyalty as well as that of indies who choose to put down roots in the Corporate Region. The Housing Programme provides every family with a home sufficient to fit their needs, while the Families Programme ensures that members of the community are paired off with each other with incentives and rewards to encourage the addition of children via procreation, adoption, or fosting from various sources within and outside of the community. In fact, active participlation in the Families Programme is required to maintain employment at Arendtcore as well participation in the Housing Programme - no loners allowed in Little Sanctuary, I'm afraid!

Unfortunately, the Company and the Region both have a bit of a 'sausage factory problem': 70% of those who migrate to Little Sanctuary are male. This is partly due to the nature of many of the Company's various integrations being more male-centric in terms of the kind of people they attract, as well as the Gender Disaster afflicting the world demographics in general (in fact, 90% of the world population is male, a serious issue that merits discussion elsewhere) . Given this dismal picture, the Families programme is both even more important, but accomplishing its aims of pairing folks up becomes trickier especially in traditional heterosexual relationships.

=== Eating One's Own Dogfood ===

The end result is that since 2045, male participants in the Familiies Programme have been permitted to opt for inorganic partners after prolonged and failed attempts to pair off with actual human women (or their preferred gender) in tne community, and in fact, the company has actively worked on such substitutions for this purpose.

Arendtcore Holdings ('the Company') keeps a Psychology department active in the Complex. While its primary function is to ensure the continued well-being and loyalty of company employees and regional inhabitants, it also helps new employees determine if their desired needs in a family can be met by conventional dating or pair-ups with other human members of the community. Where this is not possible, it assesses what the employee both needs and desires in a 'no fails possible' exam, the results of which are funnelled into design and production of Wife Units for such individuals. These are rented out on a 5-decade lease, on the assumption that the employee continues to remain either in good employ with the Company, and/or as a continued member of the Little Sanctuary community.

=== Assigning a Proper Spouse ===
Arendtcore Robotics is one of the oldest parts of the company and in fact was the entirely of the company initially (before massive integrations and acquisitions expanded it into the multi-industrial coglomerate you see today). The production of Wife Units for most personnel is usually based off technical designs that are available to the public outside of Little Sanctuary , but depending on the seniority of the Employee involved, extra care may be taken. In some cases, it may even be determined that an older refitted unit (complete with its prior experience data) or a Cy-Fur (animal android, often a Catdroid or W.O.L.F) may be more suitable than a brand new model.

The technology available to the Company in current times has allowed for a more diverse range of ethnicities (over 60 at current count) to be represented at least visually if not in cultural adaptations as well in many cases. As many Arendtcore designs to date have relied on Mel-Eisner Open-Source Compatible animatronic head modules, it is easy to do customised heads with different hairstyles, facial shaping as well as vocal synthesiser fonts. In fact, in the case of many lower-echelon staff, it can be as easy as getting a body out of the assembly line and fitting it with a head and programming that fits their desired/needed qualities.

In virtually all cases, WIfe Units are programmed for basic fulfilment of the 4 Cs: Cooking, Cleaning, Cardio/Callisthenics and Companionship/Coitus, as well as reasonable learning and adaptive capabilities to learn from continued living and interaction with their intended human family, including human children and Child Units (androids designed and programmed for fulfilling 'child' roles). They are relatively world proofed, including water resistance up to 500m in water depth, resilience against reasonable forms of heat, cut, and impact damage, and limited self-recovery and self-repair functions sufficient to at least put them within reach of the local Yellow Reset Crew Teams and the local Medicalcare facilities.

Wife Units are usually also capable of limited food and drink consumption, though this is mainly to help keep appearances and does nothing to service their needs. The food and drink is composted and removed during 'toilet trips' in a hygienic and clean manner, preventing foul odours or leaks (except during digester malfunctions). In fact, most Wife Units are designed with taste and smell capabilities sufficient for home coooking, though asking them to cook something outside of their database of recipes is asking for a disaster, at least the first few times a new recipe is attempted!

=== Old Can Be Gold, But... ===
In some cases, Wife Units are recycled on from families that have failed due to the Employee leaving the employ of The Company without making arrangements to bring them along on their exile from the community, or from the simple fact that people eventually die of old age or other reasons. They may be redeployed as is, or given changes in visual design to fit with the times and/or their new human spouse. For privacy reasons, memories may be partially edited to preserve the identity of prior spouses, but the value of learning and adaptations from prior functioning usually outweighs any benefit that could be derived from a full wipe.

Such units are watched carefully at least initially in their new homes to ensure that prior neural pathing does not cause problems in their interactions with new spouses. In practice though, many Wife Units are capable of partitioning off their prior histories and do not have issues adapting to a new family. When a unit is assigned on this recycled basis, the lease term is reset, allowing the new spouse to potentially enjoy at least 5 decades of the unit's company without the baggage of an earlier expiry.

=== My Mom Is Now My Wife ===
In certain very old families, the Wife Unit can even be a Wife Unit previously assigned to an older generation of the family that is reconditioned and set up as a inheritance for a child. This has resulted in some peculiar situations where some folks have Wife Units as spouses who at one point may have been their mothers. We see nothing wrong with this, and frankly, most people where this arrangement is made are actually happier than with a brand new unit, because apparently having a spouse whose experiences with you incude your childhood can boost kinship, regardless of their prior and new family roles.

=== Does It Have To Be A Human? ===
In recent years, Cy-Furs (Animal Androids) have become an option in the Families Programme's list of possible Inorganic Partners. These are usually either Catdroids, or W.O.L.Fs, though almost any species covered within the Cy-Fur design range is possible. This option often attracts 'furry' fans, but it has to be noted that Psychology evaluates such requests extra carefully and is likely to reject any request based simply on "I like xxx animal". In fact, Cy-Furs are often assigned to people who might seem initially to be the very last kind of people who want one as a spouse. This has seldom resulted in a return - a testament to how canny the staff at Psychology are in determining the actual needs of a Employee despite what they may right down as 'what they want' (which is often what they desire instead - often a very different thing!)

Cy-Furs are capable of limited food and drink consumption as well as emulating many experiences experienced by their actual animal and/or humans in general, but to date, the massive variety of food diets means that Cy-Furs (with some marked exceptions) SUCK AT COOKING. Not recommended for folks who actually want their spouses to cook proper dinners rather than char it and douse the results in inedible flavorings. On the flip side though, a catdroid or WOLF has many of the advantages of having a cat or dog for a pet, combined with the companionship of a human wife. and yes, that does include sex - the less said about that, the better...

===Does It Have to Be From Arendtcore?===
Another occurrence that happens more as a result of increasing migration to Little Sanctuary is the importation of units from other brands to act as Wife Units. Applications for such imports are scrutinized carefully to ensure the resulting unit is capable of fulfilling most of the requirements placed on Wife Units, and also to ensure that the unit can be properly maintained and serviced within Little Sanctuary by authorised agents or dealers. This has increased the variety of possible inorganics placed into the role of spouse, but also created new headaches in terms of logistics and servicing, though these are mainly placed on the employee applying for the import.

User:Handle2/Arendtcore Employee Package Excerpts

2026-04-04T10:43:36Z

Handle2: /* Local Jargon */ Added extra jargon

== Introduction ==
This page contains declassified and publicly available random snippets of info as provided in the Employee Packages to all new Employees of Arendtcore Minnesota and its subsidiaries. It does not include any data that is still considered company secrets or that requires specifically contacting Arendtcore staff members or gaining specific internal company clearances as noted in the original documents. To reduce size, most items are transcribed as text and only photos or pictures relevant to the interests of FembotWiki and not infringing on site rules are made available.

== Newbie Employee Package ==
=== Housing Programme ===
An Arendtcore Employee should not be homeless or sleeping in the back of their jalopy except during camping trips or long drives through places with problematic access to proper accomodation. The Company also believes that a proper home can forge deeper ties between an Employee and the Company and Little Sanctuary community As such Arendtcore Minnesota provides free housing to all employees of the company or its subsidiaries (at any level of importance or job level). The following conditions must be met to access the Housing Programme. Failure to do so will result in a probationary period to gain eligibility to the Housing programme or a valid waiver to access the Housing Programme without meeting its requirements, followed by retrenchment and exile from the Little Sanctuary corporate region.

# '''2 Adults in Consenting Relationship of any close nature, or''' - The company will accept at least two consenting adults in a relationship as valid for participation in Arendtcore Housing. The main holder MUST be a Arendtcore employee, but the other adult can be either another Arendtcore employee with proof of committment of at least 2 years to a proper relationship with said adult such as boyfriend/girlfriend pairings or marriages. Children cannot be counted for the purpose of this clause, but will be taken into account when assigning housing as another member of said relationship.
# '''Bunk with at least one Familes Programme - provided unit.''' - in the event that there is only one adult in a housing unit and no other adult is available to form a relationship, the Company will require you to accept at least one Spousal unit matching your sexual preferences and Psychological Profiling / specified desired traits either for free or at additional cost depending on choosiness. You may elect to add on at least one Child Unit on top of said Spousal Unit as a long-term salary garnish option. Again, actual children in the relationship will not be accepted as counting towards the '2 Adults in a Consenting Relationship' rule.
# '''Your sexual preferences are NOT our concern. Mostly.''' - it's your life to live how you want. We do not believe in discriminatory laws and will often turn a deaf ear through the profligate use of lawyers and legal writ. If you're trans, homo, ace, pan, bi, omni, or some other color of the LGBT flag, you're welcome to find a House and be a neighbour to others, the nature of your 'Consenting Relationship' will not matter in Rule 1 as long as it is not explictly defined as illegal in Minnesota state law (which is extremely lenient and forgiving as of 2040 onwards )
# '''You will not have a say in what house or location you get (Exceptions Noted)''' - Housing is randomly alloted based on the requirements of each family, not even the top level staff of Arendtcore get to leap over the AI that makes the decisions in this matter. Exceptions MAY be granted if one can prove that the family requires it for medical or religious reasons.
# '''Quitting? Turn in your keys.''' - Any Arendtcore Employee retrenched will be granted 30 days to find a new home and job outside Little Sanctuary, or a new job within the Company for either themselves or another Adult member of the company. At the end of 30 days, any relationship grouping without any Arendtcore employment will be required to turn in their keys and find a new home and job outside of Little Sanctuary. Exceptions may be granted temporarily or otherwise for genuine medical-related unfitness to work, or need to care for at least one child under 18, or to participants granted access under the Refugee Programme clauses.
# '''No extensive renovations''' - to avoid unhappy neighbours, please clear with your Housing Programme coordinator any significant renovations you wish to make.
# '''Castle Doctrine''' - alarm systems and less-lethal repellent devices are legal for use in Little Sanctuary, and intruders may be shot with less-lethal devices of any type by the owner of the house being intruded into.
# '''We'll ask first''' - in the event that a home is required for Company purposes, the Company will give at least 7 working days of notice to the house holder. The holder may reject the request unless it is related to work-related matters during work hours. This is NOT an invite to include unreasonable requests - please alert your Housing Coordinator if you feel this clause is being abused to gain unjustified access to your home.

=== Families Programme ===
The Families Programme is a system run to help loners in Little Sanctuary meet the most basic requirement needed to access proper housing and keep Arendtcore employment in Little Sanctuary. It is NOT a dating service or whorehouse, though elements of it do actively seek to pair biological males and females together as a first preference. Our aim here is to help people forge roots to keep them in Little Sanctuary in tougher times.

Sadly, we're a bit of a sausage factory, so that isn't possible for a marked majority of our members...

# '''Try to pair up''' - Ideally, we would like actual human men and women to get to know each other and cohabitate, if not outright marry each other and start having real kids. This has always been our Priority 1, despite the major advancements in provision of our alternative choices. Demographic Collapse is real, and we are trying our best to fight it on our end, just like the rest of the world. This is one of the purposes of efforts such as company gatherings and events as well as dating circles sponsored by Arendtcore outside of the office.
# '''Failing which, would you like a spousal unit?''' - we provide a wide range of Arendtcore-engineered solutions to resolve loneliness where 100% biological cohabitation is not an option. All Arendtcore employees may access one Spousal Unit for a period of at least 50 years, including free or cheap medical care for themselves or their new loved one. This unit is provided based on a careful psychological assessment of desires and needs, in many cases can be given free of charge or at a competitive prepaid or salary garnish rate, with basic Cooking/Cleaning/Cardio/Callisthenics/Companionship/Coitus capabilities. Optionally, one may add child units as well as a low-priced ongoing salary garnish option to expand the family further.
# '''Not Necessarily human-like or Arendtcore based''' - in recent years, we have explored providing options for Spousals or Child Units that are not necessarily human-like or based primarily on Arendtcore tech or designs. If we determine that your psych profile fits such an assignment we will stretch somewhat to fill it accordingly. This includes imports from other brands, and provision of proper Medicalcare for such units. Such units will more likely be heavily subsidised as a prepaid or salary garnish option rather than free.
# '''Not a wife swap service''' - while we allow for one or two swaps initially as one finds a fitting Spousal or child unit, this is not a service that lets you change your Spousal or child units like jalopies every few years. Upgrades and aging are possible, but not swaps of units on a regular basis. Swaps of units entering the end of their support or operating life are possible, but we try to offer a seamless or less seamed transition path to newer models as much as possible.

===The Replacement Goldfish Red Flag Rule===
by Seamus Arendt

I recognise that some of you amongst our robotics order and production divisions are asking about this weird rule that is in the Company Code. Let me explain exactly why we forbid any production that replicates a person, living or otherwise, who is related in some way to the customer.

Replacement Goldfish are basically ordered to replace someone the customer may have loved. This unfortunately guarantees disappointment with the final product sooner or later. maybe it's a visual flaw, maybe it's a problem in the way they move not matching up. maybe it's a difference in the way they process and make decisions not matching up to the original.

We are not going to produce a unit that is bogged down with prior expectations. When we put a unit into the hands of a customer, it is with the expectation that it will enhance their life and provide them with some form of satisfaction for years to come. Creating a unit that is guaranteed to disappoint however hard we push the envelop on technical quality is a fool's endeavor and will do neither of those things for the customer. They say the Customer is Always Right. I need to stress that that only applies to selected aspects of the order. If that order is wrong in other ways the maxim doesn't cover, we should look out for them and advise against such orders.

If you disagree with me on a particular order, please feel free to file a protest with Legal for review, and cc a copy of it to Psychology. 9 times out of 10, I guarantee a rejection. The one time you get the go ahead, it is only because Psychology determines that the production WILL improve the customer's life contrary to usual expectations... But what I have just stated is the usual expectation, and it will stand up pretty well. Can't hurt to try asking though, we HAVE nade exceptions a few times with great care.

And that, folks, is my thought on this matter for today.

===The Demographic Disaster===
by Seamus Arendt

To understand my long-term goals in creating Arendtcore initially as a robotics company and pushing the envelope continuously on so many aspects of our products, one starts from the problem I think we all have.

Since 2040, when I was a wee laddie corralling my brotherhood of kindred in a dinky frat house in Minnesota National Institute of Technologies (MINT), there has been an ongoing demographic collapse around the world. For every 10 natural women capable of the full range of human capability including reproduction for a new generation, there are 90 men out there. In some places, this imbalance is even more out of kilter such as Little Sanctuary, Singapora, the Chinajapese Empire's holdings or even New Russia. We can see the earliest attempts to deal with this post-Despotic Years quandry in the earliest super-realistic sexdolls these places began to produce: finely sculpted, but crude effigies based on materials we would never dream of using now for their potential healthrisks or lack of durability or flexibility. But these efforts did happen, and we must acknowledge them.

Ideally, I would like to find some tech that lets us resolve this quandry - actual women with actual capabilities to love and have pregnancies balancing out this imbalance. But I've roamed the world for ages, funding various efforts. Many good and genuinely intended projects, perhaps my share of con jobs, and so far, I have to sadly admit my luck at finding a scalable solution that isn't just chucking embryos into souless artificial birthing chambers or oppressing women into becoming breeding mules has NOT matched my fervent desire to solve the demographic disaster.

In the interim, it is rather unfortunate, but I can only focus on what I ''can'' do. I can engineer stopgaps. My brother Bellamy has excelled at creating lifelike AI constructs since we partied and he needed the cash to meet his school fees and enjoy his emo music. Marcus Manners is a sculptor par excellence, and Aymee Ichigo has always been great at seeing the potential issues each of our decisions could cause - we do regret it a little that she has gone on to greater heights and left us a little blind, really.

Throw these four lunatics and a few million in inherited wealth, and what does one get? Excellence in inorganic people.

Yes, I'm aware some of our staff are women who have opted for malebots for company, and that is being addressed whenever we can by our various programmes to encourage the pairing of actual biological adults together. But that loneliness inherent in a vast majority of the global male population, our town included, needs to be temporarily subsumed by something or other or it will potentially destroy our species even faster, in my humble belief. The True American Union and Europa threw their over-population of young adult men into a destructive conflict to whittle the numbers. China and Japan going to war wasn't about land, but about attrition between men with no way to sublimate their desire for female companionship into hatred for each other's flags.

War works in the short term to address the overbias of our world towards men, but in the long run, war between our places will only kill all of us.

Frankly, I'd rather give every man someone to love instead, even if I have to resort to artificiality and pretense to ease the pain. At least that way, if the descent is inevitable, it will be a slower, more quiet death for our species. Heck, maybe I'll get lucky and the robots will replace us gradually and nothing of value will have been lost by the time they become sophisticated enough to do this exactly.

And that, folks, is my thought on this matter for today.

=== Does She(He) ''Really'' Need a Working Vagina(Penis)? ===
by Bellamy Arendt

Some folks are slightly disturbed by the fact that whenever we engineer a humanlike android, we always provide them with at least a semblance of a vagina or penis based on their designated gender, if not actual fully working (albeit non-reproductive) units. Heck, we've even gone to war with the Federals over our child units having non-functional but sculpted genitalia, though this is mainly a settled matter now.

Is this risk even necessary? Short answer: yes.

Long answer: let me explain something we really try hard to do when we make humanlike androids - we try to humanize them as much as possible. They are not your disposable plastic people. They are people who will have a life of some sort outside of their duties, and perhaps even a post-retirement phase where they find new duties to accomplish.

if that outside life includes the whole spectrum of human experience, it occurs to The Four Of Us here that denying them one of the more significant human experiences, that of procreation in a consensual relationship without coercion of power or ignorance of the facts, even with zero chances of actually creating anything more than good feelings, that itself is an absolute injustice. It draws a line between us and them, one which we are not prepared to accept when we've already going this far in realism and human-like thought.

It has always been that way since we first put together our first life-like units, and yes, again, it has gotten us into trouble before. But we haven't changed our minds for 40 years, just so you know.

We've already thrown the Feds a bone in making said stuff non functional in our Under-18 units. Do NOT expect us to go any further in cutting ourselves on this. In fact, if we somehow work out how to make androids capable of proper human reproduction, expect us to get worse - heck, we may not even publicise that until it's too late to stuff things back in the bottle.... hell, it may already be happening... don't ask for confirmation or denial on that though!

We Four have always been chaos agents, even as we settle down to make sure so many of you have a stable life in our stable. If you were expecting a more nuanced approach to the matter, you haven't been paying attention, and you're only setting up for severe disappointment with us.... We aren't offering refunds, you joined our circus knowing we were fucked up in the head on so many things. And you can file a dispute with your superiors at Office Hours on this or leave Arendtcore if it upsets you that much.

So there!

=== Strange New Folks: Cat People? In Our Town? Yes. ===
by Marcus Manners

In recent weeks, some of you may have sworn to be seeing hallucinations, that of people who are human-sized shortstack bipedal cats walking around. I wish to confirm that, yes, Cat People from Arendtcore are a thing now in Little Sanctuary, on a limited deployment basis.

==== Who Are The Cy-Furs? ====
This oddity draws from a project which we did in the earliest years of Little Sanctuary. Our society has always had a skew from the average in many aspects. One of these is the prevalence of conditions that create learning difficulties with conventional curricula and teaching in our children. Some folks would be unkind and call them 'retarded'. We have a more enlightened belief that this merely means their capabilities have been expressed in other forms rather than the basic IQ. And in chasing a proper education for our kids, we tried something really interesting.

Enter The Cyfurs. We took our basic Android technology, and then added animal-like characteristics to them via the application of relevant fur/scale/other animal coverings and sculpts angled more towards stylised representations of animals. A whole forest of creatures, if you will. These units were deployed as teachers, cafe staff, even backoffice support within 'special ed' schools such as "Special Little Sparks" in Little Sanctuary.

Concerns about furry fandom scuttled a wider deploy initially. What made us change our minds? The prevalence of incidents involving our cat Cy-Furs being kept online past their intended retirement and removal dates, really. Some folks got into relations with units and were practically prepared to go to war with us on the obsoleting process for aged Cat Cy-Furs.

When you have folks like that, you can either make enemies of them... or admit that they may have a point and let go of your fears and restraint on the matter. Hence the increasing number of Cat Cy-Furs in public release. These are NOT a product we are going to release per se for the moment - you either find them assigned to you in Families, wandering about your neighbourhood working on things that benefit your locale, or were one of those early unauthorised Cat lovers. They are exclusive to Little Sanctuary and maybe a few external subsidiaries where education is a priority.

Here are some issues with the current deploy we wish to address.

==== Common Cat Cy-Fur Issues ====

* '''Why are half of them wearing anoraks?''' The current deploy of Cat Cy-Furs have a issue where any wind stronger than a light breeze causes painful audio feedback in their ears. We are working on a patch or hardware fix for this issue, but in the meantime, many in the Cat Cy-Fur community have found that covering their ears with any sort of protection - muffs, hats with room for cat ears, even anoraks - helps when walking outdoors in stronger winds.
* '''Are these guys... yiffable?''' Yes. Despite being stylised models, they are entitled to the same access to the human condition as many other human-like Arendtcore androids, which means they have genitalia compatible with both each other, as well as humans. This doesn't mean you get to go around wildly cornholing them, and it also means they don't get to go into the cartoon trope of not wearing lower garments - if you see a Cat Cyfur wandering around without any skirt or pants, hand them a pair and tell them to stop streaking in our community, thanks.
* '''Will there be other species of Cy-Fur added to the mix in public?''' We are already having interesting issues just focusing on cats. The potential replication of interspecies relations between Cat Cyfurs is already an interesting issue too. We would rather not make things even more interesting with other forms of Cy-Fur until we're absolutely read in on what the cats introduce.
* '''Cattie?''' is a term we've heard some less enlightened members of our town use to disparage Cat Cy-Furs. You do remember our general stance on discrimination of any sort, right? IT APPLIES HERE: We don't encourage it, and we don't want it in our town! To their credit, the cat cyfur community is already blunting the edge on this species hatred by using the term on each other themselves, much like black folks using the n-word.
* '''But I'm allergic to cats!''' The fur used on cat cyfurs is a hardwearing, hypoallergenic artificial variant. it's all in your mind if they make your sniffle or sneeze, bro.
* '''Their caterwauling is loud at night!''' Again, see "are these guys yiffable". We ARE trying our best to educate them that it's not good to keep your neighbours up. But if you start getting frisky and horny, maybe stop blaming them for your lack of sleep, okay?
* '''Are there any Cat Cy-Furs that resemble xxx shorthairs?''' representation of some of the most common housecat species excepting Siamese in Cat Cyfurs is a thing.
* '''Any advice for dealing with Cat Cyfurs?''' They have been engineered with a blend of both human and cat characteristics. This combination has proven volatile, and you should always assume there's a half-chance that their response to something you offer or do is more cat and less human, despite their intellect matching up with other humans and androids. Avoid handling catnip or cat toys around them - not all Cat Cy-Furs will fall into cat behavior when faced with cat things, but a lot of them will. Above all, we would appreciate if the community gives them a chance and treats them mostly like humans, occasional cat behaviors not withstanding.
* '''Meow?''' Meow.

And that's about the size of it, folks.

== Little Sanctuary Oddities ==
=== Local Jargon ===
As Little Sanctuary as a town has developed in ways both far ahead of its surrounding neighbouts (extremely bleeding edge tech run amok) and far behind (design cues taken from an Americana that hasn't existed for centuries), it has culturally also become a bit of a 'weird ass place'. This includes the language, which, while supposedly American English mixed from both Unions as well as the Neutral States, also acquired some pretty interesting local colloquialisms. Some of those colloquialisms have been excerpted from the local dictionary here:
* '''Fuck-Me-To-Tilt:''' Used originally by self-aware inorganics to denote sex so good for them that it causes them to temporarily enter a state of recoverable non-functionality. Has gradually also caught on with organics in Little Sanctuary for the same reasons albeit in organic terms. Contrast with: Fuck-Me-To-Scrap, Fuck-Me-To-Pieces

* '''catties:''' originally used to denote Arendtcore units based off Cyberkitty technology, which are often denoted by their being human-sized bipedal cats, often in anoraks when outdoors. Previously a slur, has been stolen by Cyberkitty culture and groupings, and more open-minded partners with prior consent for their own affectionate uses. "Yo yo yo, how me catties doing today?" "He's a cattie, but he's our cattie!"

* '''sleeper mode:''' a mode toggle on Arendtcore units (and many other competing brands) that allows a inorganic unit to operate without awareness of its true basis in circuitry and plastic rather than biological systems at a cost in increased complexity in operations and maintenance. Sometimes used as a slur to put down people considered epically stupid. e.g. "Omigod, that guy is such a idiot!" "Yeah, it's like he's on sleeper mode or some shit."

* '''The Complex''': used in a Little Sanctuary context, it can only mean one thing - The Arendtcore offices and main factory complex as located in the heart of Little Sanctuary, and the spot where many of the Original Districts that Little Sanctuary initially gathered together as a corporate town.

* '''Original Districts / OhDees : ''' The original districts that Little Sanctuary was first formed into from parts of Ohio that had voted earliest to become part of Arendtcore's corporate enclave proposal. Numbered 1-35. There has been little scope creep as newer districts have been added to the list of currently 178 districts.

* '''The Four''': refers to the original four founders of Arendtcore (as well as Little Sanctuary later on) - Marcus Manners, Aymee Ichigo, Seamus Arendt, and Bellamy Arendt.

* '''rejuve''': therapies designed to slow down or even (salacious rumor has it) reverse aging. The result is a society where one's age cannot be readily determined by one's appearance - many people look considerably younger than their actual age. Actually asking for ID to check ages for age-limited activities or purchases is a common and justified form of paranoia within Little Sanctuary.

* '''HAF''' : a drug supposedly obtained from the burning of human analogue flesh at high temperatures, meant to induce highs followed by paranoia. This claim has been disputed by Arendtcore as none of the precursors of Human Analogue Flesh have any use in any form of drug meant to induce a high.

* '''pop''': remove or slide back a cover to internals or an access panel. Not recommended outside of controlled conditions due to how it exposes delicate circuitry to the hazards offered by the world.

* '''Despo years''': refers to the Despotic Years, the years in which original America fragmented into its current condition due to despotic rule from Wash District to the East and protesting states hiving off in protest mainly in the West. The repeated nuclear incidents did not help matters.

* '''incomers''': refers to newcomers who have just made it past the gates of Little Sanctuary for long term purposes such as emigration or employment in Little Sanctuary

* '''indies''': refers to people who live in Little Sanctuary for the purpose of employment at a business not directly related to Arendtcore or its subsidiaries. As such businesses are officially not permitted to exist within Little Sanctuary, "indies" are very rare to encounter outside of very small local businesses such as grocers, hairdressers, independent fashion and artists, for whom the payment of taxes to Little Sanctuary is considered a "license fee" for limited rights to the Arendtcore brand, in order to skirt the requirement of direct employment within the Arendtcore family as a conditon to live within Little Sanctuary

* '''spousal''': refers to inorganics issued to a Arendtcore employee under the Families programme to function as a spouse (hence the term)

* '''rat''': not quite the demeaning term or yucky animal most people think of them as. Usually refers to Greater Minnesotan Rats, which when properly bred and vaccinated can function as pets or food. Much of the meat you see in Minnesota is rat. Much of the meat you see in Little Sanctuary is rat processed into a deniable state.

* '''square''': a central location for groups of several districts, where many shared facilities and shops are emplaced to both serve the districts and foster engagement and closer ties amongst residents. Often host to interesting activities such as the Charity Pie Bake Contests, the Live Art Concerns, and the Humors and Rumors news and comedy events.

* '''Five Minute Love''': a corruption of the Five Minute Hates of 1984, where one person points out something 'worth loving' and the rest of the grouping spend the next five minutes or so following on with more declarations of how it is loved, or staying silent. To protest against a FML is considered impolite in Little Sanctuary society unless the item in question is clearly the subject of much opprobium e.g. Great Leader Drurutus of the True American Union, or pineapple pizza, or even the overuse of the color blue in some districts (such as 47). Rumored to have originated as a practice on ancient social media systems.

* '''bar mitzvah/bat mitzvah''': corrupted from its original use as a Jewish celebration of a child approaching the age of reason - in Little Sanctuary this usually refers to Child Units issued under the Familites Programme celebrating reaching a major stage in their aging (9-10, 11-12, 13-15, 16-17, 18+), mainly to update others who know them of their new form and identity. Has gradually also spread to organic children, though parents in this case may not be as strict about the stages defined.

* '''Originals''': refers to people who can lay claim to being part of the first wave of people who formed Arendtcore and established Little Sanctuary.

* '''fibrovasculars/fibros''': a term that has entered popular usage somehow, despite being a very technical term. Refers to the elements that make up the iris and provide its color in organics originally, now refers to the entire iris of an eye. "That girl has some amazing deep blue fibros." Has been partially corrupted by the introduction of false similar elements into visual sensors intended to be lifelike.

* '''power cells''': corrupted by the regular use of breasts in female organic units as power storage volumes, now refers as slang to boobs on female inorganics or organics now except when otherwise clearly indicated. "Wow, check out the power cells on that chick." Also see: fuel belly, charge dong.

* '''Angels''': a popular local equivalent to Hooters. Irish-American Diner theme, lots of blue and white sky colors, regular limited time specials on foods made from edible invasive species in America renamed to the same angel theming. Also refers to its waitresses in subtly skimpy angel-themed dress outfits. For some curious reason, the same three waitresses can be seen in all 6 outlets around Little Sanctuary, and multiple instances of the same waitress can even be seen next to each other occasionally. The mananagement siply explains this peculiar occurence as "they just want to be with all of you at once", but this is more likely to be due to the use of template-based waitress androids.

* '''Former Child Unit''': refers to Child Units that have been gradually aged into adulthood (presenting as 18 or older) and qualifying for the privileges and responsibilites of normal adulthood within Little Sanctuary society, including registration as a new generation of Spousal Units

* '''Lastditch (without the space)''': Refers to the LASTDITCH Project, a last effort to build a realistic lifelike android funded on the last dollars that Arendtcorp had at one point in time that proved wildly successful and revitalized the company into a massively acquisitional coglomerate. See also: Final Fantasy, Hail Mary Plays, Success Or Bust

* '''Holograph''': the use of lasers to produce an image in midair. In Little Sanctuary, refers to inorganics whose main appearance is projected by a holographic emitter rather than being based in actual physical matter. A fair word of warning: the use of holographs does not necessarily preclude the ability to significantly affect things - hardlight holograms have been abused before to crack open locked doors before.

* '''Ciphers''': a corruption of the word Cy-Fur, referring to Arendtcore's growiing range of androids based off stylised bipedal animals. Groups with heavily specific focuses may opt to use a different slang to refer to themselves (e.g. catties, woozies, burrs)

* '''Nothing to the East, Nothing to the West''': a mentality espoused by certain dumber descendants of earlier generations to settle in Little Sanctuary. The continued intake of new talent and ideas into, and continued journeys and exports from Little Sanctuary only disproves this generally-frowned-upon philosophy.

* '''sixie''': slang, denotes an inorganic based on a platform that allows reversible disassembly into six or more discrete pieces (hence the terming) for the purposes of easier transport and storage. Used to be a slur denoting lower intellect as many such platforms used to house lower computational power, obsoleted by recent advances in computing power on such systems.

* '''brought my wife to a gun fight''': corruption of 'bring a knife to a gun fight'. References the awkward reality that some newly immigrated members into Little Sanctuary did not come from peaceful places, and is a warning not to underestimate or bring strife to immigrants from other places because they may literally be packing a wife with actual cannons built in or other survival skills designed to cause regret.

* '''Mode-Switch''': Originally a technique used by older lower-end android models to handle multiple domains of requirements with limited memory referencing capabilities. Now cannibalised as a derogatory descriptive for people, biological or otherwise, who are slow to switch tracks or mindsets when a situation requires it to happen faster. E.g. "I'd have thought he'd respond faster to the issue we raised." "Huh. You expected a guy with a mode-switch brain to respond fast to an urgent issue?"

* '''Cornfeds''': a derogatory term to describe migrants to Little Sanctuary from the True American Union region. It goes without saying, of course, that we do NOT encourage the use of such a slur. Besides, the TAU switched to lower quality thick-grain rice quite early in Drurutus' reign. We have no idea where this term even came from as a reference to them. If you have any idea, please contact the compilers of this dictionary (The Little Sanctuary Lingo Book)

* '''Middlelers''': a term to describe people who came to Little Sanctuary from middle America (i.e. the Neutral / Battleground states, states that never swore allegiance formally to the Free American or True American Unions). Not a slur, but still discouraged in light of official policy to make people feel part of the family as fast as possible.

* '''Edelweiss''': Originally a reference to a beautiful mountain flower. Now used to warn others that someone, biological or otherwise, is a high-maintenance but man-hungry sybarite. See: 'manbeast' for male equivalent. Reference probably derives from the infamous Arendtcore 'Edelweiss', considered a elite-grade sex android for those who can order one without first asking for the price and then waiting the six months (most can't) - all five people a year since its commercial debut in 2085.

* '''D-Line / Disassembly Line''': Refers to an old policy where obsolete android units in Little Sanctuary were fully disassembled and recycled. No longer enacted, because of popular protests and changes in how people view androids within Little Sanctuary society from 'disposable people' to 'just another guy/girl who deserves to have a decent life'. Now usually used to refer to something that is totally FUBAR, or irreversibly destroyed. E.g. "Anyway you look at it, this unit's chassis is a real D-Line situation... but at least the memory core can be restored into a new unit." See also: "Android Auschwitz", "We Are Not Disposable". "End-Of-Line"

* '''registry tatt''': a skin tattoo on Android parts used to denote the unit it belonged to. A tracking and anti-trafficking measure to reduce theft of parts off androids, usually pretty much useless except as decoration compared to internal hardburnt credentials on read-only firmware components and embedded chips.

* '''left side of the bed''': refers to the side of the bed usually reserved for inductive chargers for gynoids in a queen or larger-sized bed. Contrast with 'right side of the bed', which is where inductive charger pads for male-specced androids are rested for recharging in such beds. It is not known exactly where this policy derives from, but it is no longer officially enforced, but rather a innate habit passed down generation by generation to each new group of Family Programme participants as conventions to follow for an easier time when dealing with Spousal Units based on inorganics.

== Exotic Imported Androids of Little Sanctuary : BESM-HCP ==
''by Henry Buffercluck''

I came over to Little Sanctuary after the Armistice ended hostilities between the Free American Union and the True American Union a few years back in favor of the TAU focusing its attention on attacks by Europa. I have different tastes from the local folk here, it has to be honestly admitted. So when the Housing Programme asked me if I wanted a Spousal Unit, I agreed, but requested to supply my own unit, who now answers to me as Luna... This article is written based on information provided to Little Sanctuary's reviewing authorities for the initial purpose of approving the import of the BESM-HCP as built by the Eldos Products - TAU Military "Love For Soldiers" Joint Project and declassified info I was able to access.

=== BESM? ===
The actual deacronymisation of BESM in the name of this unit remains a TAU classified detail and was never disclosed to me. However, wags in both sides of the war have coined their own, such as
* "Battle Endoskeleton, Small Model",
* "Battle Ending Small Maiden",
* "Bitch with Extremely Suspicious Motives",
* "Busty Exploding Suicidal Munition",
* "Bloody Evil Stilleto Machine"
* "Big Eyes, Small Mouth"
and many other coinages based on characteristics of the unit as well as their personal experiences with the unit either during the War, or during the current Thaw. Personally, I prefer the "Big Eyes, Small Mouth", since it's more peaceful AND describes a peculiar trait of the BESM series of androids - they have extremely large eyes and extremely small mouths. The large eyes allowed for larger multi-mode eyes, and the smaller mouth... well, something had to give to fit those extra large eyeballs.

It has to be borne in mind that this was a exotic unit issued mainly to higher-level commissioned officers as a confidant and gopher, was often deployed as a heavily overboosted weapons system, a psychological torture/manipulation system, or as a form of espionage drone depending on ops requirements. As such, personal experiences with the unit tend to differ depending on which end of the unit you ran into. Free American Union veterans tend to be much less complimentary in their deacronymisations as they often got the short end of the stick when dealing with this android type during the War. True American Unionists tend to be more praiseworthy, with maybe a bit too much writing extolling the virtues of feminity and loyalty paraded by the design.

=== BESM-HCP ===
The HCP in "BESM-HCP" stands for "Human Companionship Protocol". This variant of the BESM post-dates the Armistice as signed by both sides of the WAr, and is unusual in that it is issued only to civilians who have provided service resulting in a high-level commendation during the war either as a conscript or a enlisted troop in the TAU.

Many of the systems that characterise the performance of the BESM series are either removed or heavily disabled, or replaced with generics that can be sourced anywhere in the world allowing civilians who own such BESM units to export them anywhere outside of the True American Union. This means a heavy loss of power, speed and processing capability, and BESM-HCPs often exhibit clumsy, seemingly dumb, and often child-like behaviors on occasion as a result. However, this also allows for more flexible programming of behaviors, as well as a complete decoupling from the TAU military systems that the BESM series normally is heavily reliant on for long-term operation.

The general shortness of the unit (1.49m or so depending on modifications by the user), this means the unit is often mistaken as a child especially when exhibiting more child-like behaviours on occasion and/or when wearing clothes intended for younger children that fit its frame. It was in fact a little touch-and-go for me as to whether my unit would be approved, or whether I would have to appeal, or send it back home to the TAU for reassignment. Fortunately nicer minds prevailed. In any case, the unit remains incredibly overbuilt and survivable, and people who have seen my wife at the swimming pool have often remarked on how much she is built stoutly like a very small brick fence. (Yes, BESM-HCPs can swim, and very well - another capability that either couldn't be removed or wasn't deemed worth removing.)

=== Repairs and Maintenance ===
Having a non-Arendtcore unit for a Spousal Unit or Child Unit in Little Sanctuary poses additional problems for owners who bring them in. To begin with, Medicalcare may not necessarily be an available option. the local system does support selected non-Arendtcore brands and models, but this is very iffy, and relying on it is not an option. The owner needs to have enough competence to service their android on their own and sufficient access to spares and consumables as required of their unit, or access to a competent authority in maintenance or repairs of their chosen android.

Fortunately, the demilitarization of the BESM-HCP design also means that parts can be sourced from virtually anywhere or even printed at home on a proper mesh printer, subject to the quality you desire in the parts being serviced. I also have some technical chops from working on the Love For Soldiers Project for several years, and this has allowed me to understand how the model is built, and why it stops working or starts acting up whenever it does with just a little examination in most cases. Anyone who opts for an import model of any sort needs to consider if they can learn the skills and spares required to service their android or if they can access such expertise and parts within Little Sanctuary.

=== Configuration and Programming ===
The replacement of classified processing chipsets with a Generis KVP530 CPU chipset means the BESM-HCP, though considerably more underpowered than its military counterparts, can be easily reprogrammed through the alteration of open-source code on its supplied microboards. A surprising amount of complexity is possible depending on the technical chops of the person implementing these microboards, and I was fortunately enough to find someone who could implement a relatively robust learning system. My wife basically learns from experience and from the basic act of living, though the system has its limits and running into something particularly out-of-field or esoteric has caused system freezes ever so often. This happens a lot less with normal situations though. She still sucks at cooking, mind.

=== Survivability and Looks ===
The BESM-HCP doesn't have any of the scary things that made the BESM series a nightmare to take down during the war, but it IS heavily overbuilt for its size, and it allows the owner to use components that focus less on branding and more on economy, build quality and/or resilience as desired. As a result, Luna does look a little like a brick house when nude or in skimpier clothing, but I still adore her very much as is. Another thing to note is that the Big Eyes Small Mouth facial design is very cute, and psychological manipulation of others using its characteristics has been noted. Go on, ask me how I know.

=== Sexual Capability ===
The BESM-HCP makes use of generics as seen in many modern sex toy products to provide a sufficient (at least to me) vaginal experience. The mouth of the unit, while visually small at first glance, has been known to expand a lot to fit some considerably larger things. And she has no gag reflex - I didn't configure or program her to gag from stuff in her throat, really. No backdoor though - that's where the digester waste comes out and I'm not keen to risk contact with whatever's left after the fact.

=== Getting along in the Community ===
A BESM-HCP is basically either a very mature but short woman, or one posing as a kid through clothing and behavioral choices. Both modes have been employed by my wife on everyone she meets to various extents. While supposedly less smart, it is still very scary to me how she can go from being a friendly kid to a child or elderly person who seems to need a partner or a listening ear in the parks, to being a sophisticated lady at parties and social interactions with actual adults. At some point, she started to learn how to switch between modes on her own rather than via owner prompting, and I don't even know when it happened. That learning system is scary as heck when you think about it...

Or maybe she still had that capability from when she was still a military model. I have no idea, frankly. It's all voodoo to me at this point - I just know enough to diagnose most issues with her I have.

One issue that Luna DOES have is her Eastern accent. It is a bit thicker than it should be, and sometimes that leads to confusion or misheard things. This is a issue with the vocal synthesizer she uses, and I'm still looking for a better replacement. But that accent IS charming to me, seeing as I grew up around ladies who spoke like that, and I may wind up just living with the issue...

This unit operates according to its supplied Personality programmable microboards.This android is non-reproductive sexually capable with oral and vaginal sexual options installed. A marked note is that this unit skirts dangerously close to breaking rules on what adult-model androids are allowed to be imported into Little Sanctuary as it is relatively short (1.49m, almost dwarven) and has often been mistaken for a child when dressed in child-size clothing, The only dead giveaways is how stout it is for its height, and the usual use of mature-aged female personalities.

== Introduction to the Anlisse Project==
In the 2040s, we began to branch into human-like androids. We also began to start building up the very first boroughs of what could be called the Original Districts of what would become Little Sanctuary (Districts 1-40). It was a trying time for all concerned, juggling the creation of a new MNC as well as a new home in the previously wilder, unmanaged spaces of Minnesota.

As part of our own "Eat Your Own Dogfood" efforts, we supplied our first waves of employees/homeowners with Spousal Units for the new Housing Programme and Family Programme. These were limited-edition, heavily artisanal units right down to the bolts and wiring, and while that should have led to disaster, the fact is that they turned out to be one of our most ridiculously resilient designs.

Seamus really thinks sometimes we should build these again, but I have to advise him again and again that the process that made these wonderful machines sadly did not scale well at all. Let's have a look at one of these units we inadvertently never gave out and keep in storage for historical interest....

We commissioned and built 10397 units of the Analisse design. These were handed out primarily to our male staff who joined us at such a risky early stage as a sort of reward and anchor to tie them down to the land and Company, though select units were handed out to some famous personalities such as Ethan Creed of the Funboys House Of Porn, Jericho Escher of the Peru Resistance Partisans, and The pop duo Twinergy (as seen on their infamous music video "She Was Made For Making Me Fall In Love"), amongst others.

== Analisse 4633:Never Used, Never Initialized ==

The unit seen here is Unit 4633, which was intended for an accountant who sadly perished while trying to make his way here from Florida. We never did reassign this unit for some reason not documented. The proof of unit identity can be found hardcoded into the unit identifier, on a chip somewhere within the unit that apparently does nothing, as well as sewn into the Alice-In-Wonderland style outfit as seen here, somewhere under the collar of the shirt, and on the left thigh flesh as a faint tatto (this tattoo sadly wears out with prolonged operation - not a reliable indicator, really)

The Alice-In-Wonderland dress outfit consisted of a small apron in white and blue long dress, plus thigh high stockings and patent leather shoes. As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, some newer design units were released with a similar dress outfit as a limited time option, and these remain a collector's item second in value only to the actual originals. The lack of the Unit number under the collar is a tell-tale sign that a AID outfit was from the newer runs and not this first batch. As befits the artisanal approach of this unit, the outfits were all commmissioned from New Peru and sewn by local artisans from proper synthcotton and lace elements.

Frankly, the logistics and QC on this part of the project was a nightmare for me and the next time someone proposes this kind of thing, I will shoot them down. With a fleet full of CIWSes.

The hair on Analisse units is real human hair, punched into a scalp module follicle by follicle carefully by hand. Similar work with human hair was done on the eyebrows and eyelashes. roughly equal amounts of blonde, brown, redhead and brunette straight hair were sourced for this effort and work done inhouse by the Artistic Branch... this was potentially a major bottleneck and frankly it is a miracle that it wasn't.

of 10397 units ever issued, 10300 units remain fully operational, and are even regularly found going through the MedicalCare programme in Little Sanctuary or equivalent maintenance regimes when operated outside of Little Sanctuary.

== Internal Unit Details ==

===Body Detailing and Fleshing===
To simplify the build, we cut many corners where we felt that it did not impact the quality of the final product much. One corner we cut was using only Caucasian Pale Tri-Phase Silicone as the flesh for the Analisse, which led to accusations of racism. This was something we could have handled better, especially since the unit assigned to Ethan Creed (Unit 00015, known as Nuuna Creed and often seen as his wheelchair assistant and nurse at Funboys House parties) was dark-skinned using Chocolate Black Triphasic Silicone, so clearly we could have added ethnicity to the mix with some extra resources. But we didn't get any complaints from our staff about this issue, mainly. The use of triphasic silicone in a thicker gauge did allow for it to wear much longer than expected, with patch jobs far and few between on the flesh of the Analisse.

The body was sculpted primarily by our long-suffering Chief Artist in Residence, Marcus Manners. As the tech we were using at the time wasn't exactly compact, the brief for the sculpt was "make her a large-caliber bombshell". Result: a voluptuous, high-volumed shape with plenty of room for the less efficient, bulkier components the Analisse uses. These components are also part of what makes this design so reliable and long-lasting - damage takes a lot longer to become a problem to any component, giving the owner more time to locate and replace these parts before they turn into a actual failure.

=== Head Systems ===
Amongst our staff were some former Mel-Eisner engineers, who created the first of many "animatronic head" designs as seen on modern units - while not compatible with the open Mel-Eisner EmoteDef specification, the preloaded motion/reflex data in these first drafts did satisfy most staff as well, even with a limited set of emotes and no variable mixing done. The head also offered high-fidelity vocal reproduction as well as a pathwway for modest amounts of food and water into a then-new digester design that unfortunately did not take well to full meals with drinks. A meal with an Analisse was always a meal with a sparrow of sorts.

===Animatronic Data and Mixing===
Voicework was provided by several then well known actresses. Given the slightly tawdry nature of the project, many of them opted to or were forced by their agencies to credit the work to the anonymous "Annie Dee" and take a fatter paycheck. Privacy clauses prohibit me even now from disclosing the names of these actresses, but they did wonderful jobs on it such that the voice patterns mixed from them has been compared to a god melody. Another reason this project cannot exactly be replicated in this day and age.

Motion was provided in part by performances from the same actresses that provided the voice for this design (aka Annie Dee, the Anonymized), as well as a collaboration with Funboys House of Porn, where we digitized performances from several eras of porn within the Funboys archives for audio, motion, reflex and sequencing routes. As thanks for allowing and blessing the project, Ethan Creed was gifted with Unit 0007, Nuuna Creed, probably one of the only Analisse units not specced as pale Caucasian. The data was unfortunately stored in a format that is now obsolete, and efforts to port it to modern Arendtcore designs have proven problematic.

===Data Strorage and Remixing===
The motion/audio/reflex/sequencing data for Analisse functionality was stored on a fledgling cartridge format that was showing promise at the time, in part because of its incredible hard-wearing and dense data storage properties. The AME-ROM microdisc format promised a 10 millennium lifespan for both its drives and its discs, and the Analisse uses a unique double-sized, double-sided variant of this format to store 15000 words and discrete syllables, plus 80 hours of different motions and reflex actions.

This combination was mixed by a Parelt-Ehsen G45 animatronics controller chipset and piped to 800 servo units spread across the design. While the lifespan possibility of AME-ROM seems exaggerated, the fact is that we have yet to see a single one of these personality discs or drives ever wear out after over a century, and it has seen limited use elsewhere in its original definitions as a long term proven archival format. AME-ROM is unfortunately much slower than modern semivolatiles, prompting some to consider Analisse units as lower-intellect.

This is a mistake. They are smart - they just take longer to form the words and take the actions that their logic circuits require due to the slower access times of AME-ROM.

Vocal mixing of syllables into owner names and other custom phrases is provided by a Jenuwhine Pandragon K35 chipset. In selected units that were going to be assigned to staff with clear musical bents, this was replaced with a modulatable version. It was a mistake, as Seamus Arendt notes..

<big><big>"</big></big>''Seamus Arendt-''
The modulator on the musically enabled version of the K35 was meant to be locked into place when not being affected by wireless MIDI signals from a registered open-compatible music controller, but the damned thing kept popping in and affecting normal speech. This led to Analisse units given this modified chipset a certain randomized sing-song effect to their words. The people these were intended for were all delighted and never demanded a patch or fix. But I'm going to call it what it is - a small mistake in implementation that I made to a chipset that was working already fine for its main purposes. I'm honest enough to admit I'm a screwball when I'm one...
<big><big>"</big></big>

===Visual/Audio Sensors, Main Control Panel===
The visual and audio sensors, as well as main control panel were provided by Ban-Teki Tokyo Corp.

The audio sensors are essentially high-gain and capable of picking up very quiet whispers, yet capable of coping with loud noises of up to 200 decibels for short periods of time, within a range of 20 feet. The visual sensort are capable of normal wavelength sight at ranges between 2 and 100 feet, and are housed in a eyeball-like structure that includes see-through doll-eye iris elements that can be configured at initial boot to have one of 16.7million colors.

The main control panel is mainly analogue switches and buttons and gauges for power reserve measures and processor loads, with the only digital item being a 40x96 mint green character display for short log messages and errors. This is backed by a unifiying chipset that collates all the required logs and readouts as well as issues commands from the buttons and switches. This approach is no longer in use on modern Arendtcore designs, but enthusiasts of the Analisse design say it is somehow more... human. Personally, I think it's archaic, but I'm a legalist, not a doll designer, okay?

=== Bodily Touch/Heat Sensors===
touch/heat sensoring is provided all over the body by sensnor assemblies merged into the triphasic silicone inhouse. Again, an approach no longer used. This results in a relatively bulky and hard to maintain external covering, but also warms it up slightly, allowing a sort of 'natural warmth' effect that many staffers issued this unit type praised.

=== Sexual Functioning (Vaginal) ===
As with many Arendtcore designs to come, the Analisse has a working non-reproductive vaginal module. This module is easily removable for servicing, and is powered by an array of microservo/bump sensor arrays linked to a CodyTech N35 sexual response chipset as used in many modern Funboys sex toys for detecting vaginal input, pushing out open-compatible vaginal lubricant solutions, and providing responsive motion to said inputs. While clunky, this makes the Analisse very resilient to sexual overloading as similar approaches are used on other hotspots of sexual activity and response to buffer and handle sexual reflexes while minimizing added loads to the animatronic controllers.

== Cultural Impact ==
While the Analisse was a in-house project primarily issued within Little Sanctuary to only Arendtcore employees, a few did make it out into the rest of the world. These few units had an oversized impact relative to their very rare numberings.

''EDITOR NOTE: Most of the subsections in these are cribbed whole sale from a internal video "Analisse Project" released for Arendtcore's 50th birthday. Copies of it are available in NSFW and SFW editions from the Little Library in Arendtcore Minnesota-area libraries. If outside this area, please request and wait at least two months for a copy from your local librarian.

===Twinergy===
The pop duo Twinergy were known childhood acquaintances of the Arendt brothers: Theodorus and Alpha Fenris. Naturally, when it came to handing out the Analisse units, the Fenris brothers scored one with a modulatable K35 vocal mixer chipset.

THEODORUS FENRIS: Well, when we unboxed that gift from the Arendts, she was all dowdy and chonkers. We named her Stella Fenris, and the temptation to turn our band into a trio with her in the back was always there. We ran a few notes into her with the wireless MIDI while she was singing, and it was...

ALPHA FENRIS: Magical. Yes. That was the right word. like a Goddess from on high. We used that effect on "She was made for making me fall in love", and what was supposed to be a potboiler single on a staid album become a sudden wicked hit...

Sadly, this also proved to be one of the times that a Analisse unit was destroyed irreversibly. Tensions frayed and ownership over Stella became a sore point between the Fenris brothers, threatening to derail their newfound popularity. It came to a head with the destruction of the unit by the brothers using various implements, an act documented on the video for the song released a few weeks later.

THEODORUS: When you hear the song she sings as we break her apart, what we actually heard on set was her repeatedly saying the same three words... "I Forgive you." in that gentle singsong manner she always had when we weren't using her as a musical instrument.

ALPHA: .... That's what she kept saying... I regret we ever destroyed our muse.

THEODORUS: Cursed for the rest of our careers with no more hits. That's what happened. She had this voice that we couldn't get even from a nice girl on a vocooder.

ALPHA: you can imagine what Seamus said when he saw the video release...

-abrupt cut to SEAMUS ARENDT, looking both saddened and pissed off-

SEAMUS ARENDT: 'You two are fucking imbeciles. This unit is irreversibly destroyed, and I'm not going to stretch my ass again getting you a new unit. Live with your stupidity for the rest of your life... dumb c--ts... This is NOT how you treat the gifts others give you, not now, not ever. Let the price of it be high for those dunheads.

The price was indeed high. As Theodorus Fenris noted later, they never had another hit single for the next twenty years till they retired.

===Jericho Escher===
Another Analisse was given to a most unexpected recepient: Jericho Escher, President of New Peru and former leader of the Peru Resistance Partisans insurgent front.

JERICHO ESCHER: This Seamus crazy and me, we once had a little fight blow up around us. Government folks. He could have just walked the hell out, instead he starts slugging them and yelling at me like a maniac about how 'he had my back'... you Americans and your Americanisms. One year later, he sends this big box labelled "Sumaq señora" (Beautiful Woman in Quechua) for out of nowhere for me. I open it up and inside the wrapping was indeed the most beautiful Sumaq señora I had ever seen indeed. Maybe a little plumper than my usual tastes... So naturally, being the utter Joder Idiota Tonto (utter fucking idiot, Quechua) I am, I accidentally named her "Plastica" because I called her a plastic whore while setting her up. She didn't seem to have any issues with me calling her that, but I couldn't change her name after. '''laughter from Jericho'''

SEAMUS: Oh god, this is one of the most fucking stupid user stories I remember, really. There was a reset code for that in the manual, and the damn idiot, for forty years, from that day, all the way through his blessed presidency, to his death... he never CHANGED her name. I suspect he actually grew to like it, really.

JERICHO: In victories, I held her in my hideout and kissed her deeply and made tender love to her. In defeat, she soothed me and distracted me the same way. She always waited up for me. This one time, I was cut off from my team for three months. When I got home, there was a warm meal on the table and her loving arms. I asked what she had been doing while waiting for me to come back. and they say "the same thing. Every night, she makes your favorite Pollo a La Brasa and Ceviche (roast chicken dish), then waits for you by the front door till midnight before asking us not to let it go to waste. And I'm sorry, Hatun Umalliq (Supreme Leader, Quecha), but all the good flavor you say is in the dish? I swear it is your hallucinations because you love her so much." I never let her cook again when I wasn't around to eat it after that. '''laughter from Jericho'''

Jericho Escher served for eight years as President of New Peru after the overthrow of the junta, and Plastica Escher became his vice president and first lady of New Peru, publishing a critically acclaimed cookbook for charity with pictures of very beautiful (and terrible tasting) Peruvian dishes. After serving two terms, he retired quietly, enjoying the company of his Analisse. Upon his death, the unit mourned him for a year before returning to Little Sanctuary for recycling or reassignment. For privacy reasons, the Company cannot disclose the eventual path she went upon after her return to us.

SEAMUS: And she was the first time I'd ever heard of a Analisse unit mourning its owner. Not the last either. I asked Bellamy, "did we ever program these units to pine for their owners or mourn them?"

BELLAMY ARENDT: I looked back at this dunhead and shook my noggin. I was like, "wot? I was never that good at programming AI girlfriends, and I wasn't going to start doing it. Perhaps there was something I'd coded that kicked in on those conditons that came together to form such a behavior, but I don't think I could deliberately replicate it. It was beautiful though...

SEAMUS: Yeah... I hope we reassigned her. These Analisse units were all beauties. would be a shame to scrap one if it wasn't fatally damaged.

===Ethan Creed===
Another rare outsider who gained access to a Analisse unit was Ethan Creed.

ETHAN CREED: These kids from some brand new company called and said they was interested in the Funboys catalog. We asked which shows, they said "ALL OF IT". Turns out it wasn't just for watching.

Arendtcore asked to collaborate with Funboys catalog in digitizing their catalog for future media. As part of the deal, they were permitted to analyze every single frame of footage from the eight decade history of the company, spanning a wide range of classic actors and actresses from Don Decock and Valia Vajinni to more recent favorites such as Julie Ambervale and Charlie Horse Leg-3. A corpus of data was generated of motion, audio, reflex, and sequencing pathing data, which was shared with Funboys for their future projects. On full payment for the video conversion part of the project, Ethan was promised something.

ETHAN: So I look at these giant hard disks full of petabytes of examinations of how everyone in our stable moved or were moving. It was already nice of them. Then this Seamus kid, he goes "Actually I may also have something else for you in a couple of weeks." Like hell I was waiting. I went right back to caring for my girls and guys at the House of Funboys like I always have for the past few decades.

-Smashcut to SEAMUS and BELLAMY-
SEAMUS: in my hurry to batch out the triphasic silicone flesh for the Analisse units, I'd accidentally mixed up the numbers for one unit's worth. What was supposed to be Caucasian beige became this slightly chocolatey black complexion.

BELLAMY: Did we ever replicate that shade ever again?

SEAMUS: We did... turns out it was potentially as strong as TNT as a plastic explosive.

BELLAMY: *grabs SEAMUS by the collar* YOU INSANE LUNATIC. You could have led with it back then!

SEAMUS: I didn't want the evidence lying around, we weren't going into military work. so I laid it out onto one unit and palmed it off on a random guy with a prayer.

-smashcut back to ETHAN CREED-
ETHAN CREED: turns out it was this black chick in an Alice in Wonderland Dress. I ask him "wow, blaxploitation proposal?" He says, it's a gift to me, thanks for letting us use something we could never have gotten our hands on if we had to pay you. I'd been suckered really, but I let it go... She looked like a fine piece of thick ass, you know what I'm saying? Brother's gotta acknowledge brother when they give a great gift, ya?

The unit was christened "Nuuna" by Ethan Creed himself. The man had suffered a severe impairment from a polio superstrain that didn't respond to the vaccine, losing the use of everything beneath the waist, requiring a wheelchair for most of his life. That hadn't stopped his wheeling and dealing to build up Funboys.

What Nuuna offered Creed was special.

ETHAN: so this Nuuna girl, after a few days, she starts grabbing my wheelchair and wheeling me whereever I want. I tell her I can move around on my own. She looks at me and calmly says "I was placed here to please you and service you in any way you desire." I forced the issue and let's just say... she really did that. She'd help me around during the parties at my House, then when everything had quietened down and folks were sleeping, she made sure I had a good clean, fresh clothes, a comfy bed, and yeah, she'd roll in herself and make sure it was EXTREMELY comfy. Girl had a voice like an angel, hands like the devil. At one point I swear I actually looked down and saw what a mess I'd made. "It's still alive, you just can't feel it." She'd said.

Nuuna would remain a quiet and loyal confidante to ETHAN for the next two decades till his passing, before making the same return pilgrimage to Little Sanctuary as so many external units would if possible. She had declined a role on a farewell porn flick dedicated to Ethan, saying

NUUNA: I was placed here merely to serve and comfort ETHAN. He is gone. There is no reason for me to be dropping my panties for a porn show when I've never done it for Ethan for two decades. Now would you let me past so I can board my slowliner home?

-smashcut to SEAMUS and BELLAMY-

SEAMUS: This home-return instinct in Analisses we send out into the world, is it really that common?

BELLAMY: Unless they're incapacitated or destroyed, 100%. And before you ask, no, I programmed no such thing, it's some sort of emergent behavior in their code. Code that I wrote in a hurry for this project.

SEAMUS: We should hurry you on coding projects more. It seems to lead to nice things.

BELLAMY: Oh, give me a fucking break, bro! I want my work life balance!

== Arendtcore Policy on Handling of Analisse Units ==
The incredible rarity and extended life experience of Analisse Units, even those that have been wiped, means that Arendtcore is extremely reluctant to scrap or dismantle irreversibly any Analisse unit, unless the unit expresses a genuine and informed desire to meet such destruction via Disassembly Line. In practice, this is further compounded by the relative beauty and specialness of Analisse Units causing DLine operators to crash out and fail to execute. In 30 attempts to fully run a D-Line disassembly on an Analisse, only 2 attempts resulted in the successful destruction of the unit - and the insanity of the operators who managed successfully to execute the cases.

===Storage or Reassignment===
Analisse units returning to base in Minneapolis are offered long-term storage or reassignment as soon as possible to another viable person in the Families Programme requiring a Spousal Unit of unusual quality based on Psychology evals.

===PR Work Across America===
Alternatively, some have been refitted with enhanced survival systems and roam the American states pamphleting for hiring opportunities at Arendtcore. Units modified for this purpose are significantly faster-thinking, more resilient to many forms of damage, and usually manage to return to base repeatedly while charming Americans of all stripes they meet.

== Modification Accumulation ==
The age of Analisse units that have survived to date means that it is highly likely that they may have been assigned to at least one competent technician. This often results in modifications by technicians to bring them up to the standards of the technician's times, including enhanced data processing, hardened replacements for the 10k-rated disc reader/disc combination, faster-firing servos, improved animatronic head function, or even smell. Other modifications known to have occurred include the installation of knowledge bases not normally associated with Analisses, as well as the inherent changes caused to neural pathing by prolonged uptime, which cannot be removed even by software reformats.

==Notable Analisse Units==
Besides the units mentioned under "Cultural Impact", many other units may have become notable for various things:

1433 - Donated body to Arendtcore Technician school for continued education of technicians. It is a tradition every five years to fully reassemble this unit and ask if it wishes to continue seeking non-activation after a brief on the occurrences since last reactivation. To date, 1433 has always requested to be returned back to static educational display and practice material. Great care is taken to maintain the parts that make up this unit by Arendtcore custodians in case the answer turns to 'yes' one day.

6591 and 6594 - Black and White Sisters, programmed by their respective owners to play chess in a ongoing competition to see who could produce the superior chessplayer android. The contest got out of hand. Both units are now explicitly disallowed from competition, but actual chessmasters regularly request matches with these units online. The 'Black and White sisters' (as they now call themselvees) regularly oblige, to the pain of those requesting. The original owners made up and passed away years apart, and the Sisters are now managed by the Arendtcore Chess Concern. Previous identifiers were Annie Black and Liddy White.

6300 - The Goddess Chef - Unit upgraded with better olfactory and taste sensors by a technician at a chef's request. Regularly taught kitchen work and recipes. Now hosts a weekly long-running (40 years and going) cooking show online of the same name. Still answers to name of Anna Kelades, surname last deceased owner's. Currently managed by Arendtcore Foods and Cooking Concerns. Still uses unit identifier Junita Child.

2701 - Slipped standard Arendtcore anti-amok protocols and murdered 47 bandits in Iowa using nothing but throwing of selected objects and stealth. Objective created due to risk posed by bandit raid to Iowan camp her spouse was assigned to provide medical care in. Has gone missing since. Owner died in raid. Occasional tales in Iowa of the "Teressatossa" who avenges wrongdoing by throwing things at evildoers persist, but Arendtcore has failed to locate this unit for checks, repairs or desired upgrades. Used to answer to name of "Teresa Tao"

3533 - Self proclaimed as the reincarnation of Julie Ambervale. Set records for number of members in a orgy three times. Suffered fatal, unrepairable malfunction on fourth attempt to set record again after previous record was broken. Last words were "it was going so well at rehearsal." Unit identifier was Julie Swallows

1291 - One of the few exported units, settled down to life as chief librarian in new Wash District National Library. Regularly seen in aisles at library shushing noisy patrons. Answers to Marie Malloy.

9503 - Rewired as suicide bomb in attempt to murder senior Irish politician Gregor O'Malley. Attempt failed. Gregor claimed unit and refused to allow justice to be fully meted out on unit. Now under house arrest for several years since at Gregor O'Malley's pleasure. Unit identifier was Pina O'Toole. Current identifier not known.

7707 - Exported unit AND late-blooming Y'tole dancer despite the usual clumsiness of default Analisse units. Dances in Singapora Dance Theater's Y'tole branch. Answers to Sally Chua Chin Noi.

Here, she is partially disassembled during a class to show her arm-shoulder connector sockets, as well as the tubings feeding into a modern Arendtcore Animatronic Head design - food/water intake, air intake/heat expulsion, and Ultra-High-Band data cables. She remains fully functional pending reassembly and recharge.

== Introduction to the Anlisse Project==
In the 2040s, we began to branch into human-like androids. We also began to start building up the very first boroughs of what could be called the Original Districts of what would become Little Sanctuary (Districts 1-40). It was a trying time for all concerned, juggling the creation of a new MNC as well as a new home in the previously wilder, unmanaged spaces of Minnesota.

As part of our own "Eat Your Own Dogfood" efforts, we supplied our first waves of employees/homeowners with Spousal Units for the new Housing Programme and Family Programme. These were limited-edition, heavily artisanal units right down to the bolts and wiring, and while that should have led to disaster, the fact is that they turned out to be one of our most ridiculously resilient designs.

Seamus really thinks sometimes we should build these again, but I have to advise him again and again that the process that made these wonderful machines sadly did not scale well at all. Let's have a look at one of these units we inadvertently never gave out and keep in storage for historical interest....

We commissioned and built 10397 units of the Analisse design. These were handed out primarily to our male staff who joined us at such a risky early stage as a sort of reward and anchor to tie them down to the land and Company, though select units were handed out to some famous personalities such as Ethan Creed of the Funboys House Of Porn, Jericho Escher of the Peru Resistance Partisans, and The pop duo Twinergy (as seen on their infamous music video "She Was Made For Making Me Fall In Love"), amongst others.

== Analisse 4633:Never Used, Never Initialized ==

The unit seen here is Unit 4633, which was intended for an accountant who sadly perished while trying to make his way here from Florida. We never did reassign this unit for some reason not documented. The proof of unit identity can be found hardcoded into the unit identifier, on a chip somewhere within the unit that apparently does nothing, as well as sewn into the Alice-In-Wonderland style outfit as seen here, somewhere under the collar of the shirt, and on the left thigh flesh as a faint tatto (this tattoo sadly wears out with prolonged operation - not a reliable indicator, really)

The Alice-In-Wonderland dress outfit consisted of a small apron in white and blue long dress, plus thigh high stockings and patent leather shoes. As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, some newer design units were released with a similar dress outfit as a limited time option, and these remain a collector's item second in value only to the actual originals. The lack of the Unit number under the collar is a tell-tale sign that a AID outfit was from the newer runs and not this first batch. As befits the artisanal approach of this unit, the outfits were all commmissioned from New Peru and sewn by local artisans from proper synthcotton and lace elements.

Frankly, the logistics and QC on this part of the project was a nightmare for me and the next time someone proposes this kind of thing, I will shoot them down. With a fleet full of CIWSes.

The hair on Analisse units is real human hair, punched into a scalp module follicle by follicle carefully by hand. Similar work with human hair was done on the eyebrows and eyelashes. roughly equal amounts of blonde, brown, redhead and brunette straight hair were sourced for this effort and work done inhouse by the Artistic Branch... this was potentially a major bottleneck and frankly it is a miracle that it wasn't.

of 10397 units ever issued, 10300 units remain fully operational, and are even regularly found going through the MedicalCare programme in Little Sanctuary or equivalent maintenance regimes when operated outside of Little Sanctuary.

== Internal Unit Details ==

===Body Detailing and Fleshing===
To simplify the build, we cut many corners where we felt that it did not impact the quality of the final product much. One corner we cut was using only Caucasian Pale Tri-Phase Silicone as the flesh for the Analisse, which led to accusations of racism. This was something we could have handled better, especially since the unit assigned to Ethan Creed (Unit 00015, known as Nuuna Creed and often seen as his wheelchair assistant and nurse at Funboys House parties) was dark-skinned using Chocolate Black Triphasic Silicone, so clearly we could have added ethnicity to the mix with some extra resources. But we didn't get any complaints from our staff about this issue, mainly. The use of triphasic silicone in a thicker gauge did allow for it to wear much longer than expected, with patch jobs far and few between on the flesh of the Analisse.

The body was sculpted primarily by our long-suffering Chief Artist in Residence, Marcus Manners. As the tech we were using at the time wasn't exactly compact, the brief for the sculpt was "make her a large-caliber bombshell". Result: a voluptuous, high-volumed shape with plenty of room for the less efficient, bulkier components the Analisse uses. These components are also part of what makes this design so reliable and long-lasting - damage takes a lot longer to become a problem to any component, giving the owner more time to locate and replace these parts before they turn into a actual failure.

=== Head Systems ===
Amongst our staff were some former Mel-Eisner engineers, who created the first of many "animatronic head" designs as seen on modern units - while not compatible with the open Mel-Eisner EmoteDef specification, the preloaded motion/reflex data in these first drafts did satisfy most staff as well, even with a limited set of emotes and no variable mixing done. The head also offered high-fidelity vocal reproduction as well as a pathwway for modest amounts of food and water into a then-new digester design that unfortunately did not take well to full meals with drinks. A meal with an Analisse was always a meal with a sparrow of sorts.

===Animatronic Data and Mixing===
Voicework was provided by several then well known actresses. Given the slightly tawdry nature of the project, many of them opted to or were forced by their agencies to credit the work to the anonymous "Annie Dee" and take a fatter paycheck. Privacy clauses prohibit me even now from disclosing the names of these actresses, but they did wonderful jobs on it such that the voice patterns mixed from them has been compared to a god melody. Another reason this project cannot exactly be replicated in this day and age.

Motion was provided in part by performances from the same actresses that provided the voice for this design (aka Annie Dee, the Anonymized), as well as a collaboration with Funboys House of Porn, where we digitized performances from several eras of porn within the Funboys archives for audio, motion, reflex and sequencing routes. As thanks for allowing and blessing the project, Ethan Creed was gifted with Unit 0007, Nuuna Creed, probably one of the only Analisse units not specced as pale Caucasian. The data was unfortunately stored in a format that is now obsolete, and efforts to port it to modern Arendtcore designs have proven problematic.

===Data Strorage and Remixing===
The motion/audio/reflex/sequencing data for Analisse functionality was stored on a fledgling cartridge format that was showing promise at the time, in part because of its incredible hard-wearing and dense data storage properties. The AME-ROM microdisc format promised a 10 millennium lifespan for both its drives and its discs, and the Analisse uses a unique double-sized, double-sided variant of this format to store 15000 words and discrete syllables, plus 80 hours of different motions and reflex actions.

This combination was mixed by a Parelt-Ehsen G45 animatronics controller chipset and piped to 800 servo units spread across the design. While the lifespan possibility of AME-ROM seems exaggerated, the fact is that we have yet to see a single one of these personality discs or drives ever wear out after over a century, and it has seen limited use elsewhere in its original definitions as a long term proven archival format. AME-ROM is unfortunately much slower than modern semivolatiles, prompting some to consider Analisse units as lower-intellect.

This is a mistake. They are smart - they just take longer to form the words and take the actions that their logic circuits require due to the slower access times of AME-ROM.

Vocal mixing of syllables into owner names and other custom phrases is provided by a Jenuwhine Pandragon K35 chipset. In selected units that were going to be assigned to staff with clear musical bents, this was replaced with a modulatable version. It was a mistake, as Seamus Arendt notes..

<big><big>"</big></big>''Seamus Arendt-''
The modulator on the musically enabled version of the K35 was meant to be locked into place when not being affected by wireless MIDI signals from a registered open-compatible music controller, but the damned thing kept popping in and affecting normal speech. This led to Analisse units given this modified chipset a certain randomized sing-song effect to their words. The people these were intended for were all delighted and never demanded a patch or fix. But I'm going to call it what it is - a small mistake in implementation that I made to a chipset that was working already fine for its main purposes. I'm honest enough to admit I'm a screwball when I'm one...
<big><big>"</big></big>

===Visual/Audio Sensors, Main Control Panel===
The visual and audio sensors, as well as main control panel were provided by Ban-Teki Tokyo Corp.

The audio sensors are essentially high-gain and capable of picking up very quiet whispers, yet capable of coping with loud noises of up to 200 decibels for short periods of time, within a range of 20 feet. The visual sensort are capable of normal wavelength sight at ranges between 2 and 100 feet, and are housed in a eyeball-like structure that includes see-through doll-eye iris elements that can be configured at initial boot to have one of 16.7million colors.

The main control panel is mainly analogue switches and buttons and gauges for power reserve measures and processor loads, with the only digital item being a 40x96 mint green character display for short log messages and errors. This is backed by a unifiying chipset that collates all the required logs and readouts as well as issues commands from the buttons and switches. This approach is no longer in use on modern Arendtcore designs, but enthusiasts of the Analisse design say it is somehow more... human. Personally, I think it's archaic, but I'm a legalist, not a doll designer, okay?

=== Bodily Touch/Heat Sensors===
touch/heat sensoring is provided all over the body by sensnor assemblies merged into the triphasic silicone inhouse. Again, an approach no longer used. This results in a relatively bulky and hard to maintain external covering, but also warms it up slightly, allowing a sort of 'natural warmth' effect that many staffers issued this unit type praised.

=== Sexual Functioning (Vaginal) ===
As with many Arendtcore designs to come, the Analisse has a working non-reproductive vaginal module. This module is easily removable for servicing, and is powered by an array of microservo/bump sensor arrays linked to a CodyTech N35 sexual response chipset as used in many modern Funboys sex toys for detecting vaginal input, pushing out open-compatible vaginal lubricant solutions, and providing responsive motion to said inputs. While clunky, this makes the Analisse very resilient to sexual overloading as similar approaches are used on other hotspots of sexual activity and response to buffer and handle sexual reflexes while minimizing added loads to the animatronic controllers.

== Cultural Impact ==
While the Analisse was a in-house project primarily issued within Little Sanctuary to only Arendtcore employees, a few did make it out into the rest of the world. These few units had an oversized impact relative to their very rare numberings.

''EDITOR NOTE: Most of the subsections in these are cribbed whole sale from a internal video "Analisse Project" released for Arendtcore's 50th birthday. Copies of it are available in NSFW and SFW editions from the Little Library in Arendtcore Minnesota-area libraries. If outside this area, please request and wait at least two months for a copy from your local librarian.

===Twinergy===
The pop duo Twinergy were known childhood acquaintances of the Arendt brothers: Theodorus and Alpha Fenris. Naturally, when it came to handing out the Analisse units, the Fenris brothers scored one with a modulatable K35 vocal mixer chipset.

THEODORUS FENRIS: Well, when we unboxed that gift from the Arendts, she was all dowdy and chonkers. We named her Stella Fenris, and the temptation to turn our band into a trio with her in the back was always there. We ran a few notes into her with the wireless MIDI while she was singing, and it was...

ALPHA FENRIS: Magical. Yes. That was the right word. like a Goddess from on high. We used that effect on "She was made for making me fall in love", and what was supposed to be a potboiler single on a staid album become a sudden wicked hit...

Sadly, this also proved to be one of the times that a Analisse unit was destroyed irreversibly. Tensions frayed and ownership over Stella became a sore point between the Fenris brothers, threatening to derail their newfound popularity. It came to a head with the destruction of the unit by the brothers using various implements, an act documented on the video for the song released a few weeks later.

THEODORUS: When you hear the song she sings as we break her apart, what we actually heard on set was her repeatedly saying the same three words... "I Forgive you." in that gentle singsong manner she always had when we weren't using her as a musical instrument.

ALPHA: .... That's what she kept saying... I regret we ever destroyed our muse.

THEODORUS: Cursed for the rest of our careers with no more hits. That's what happened. She had this voice that we couldn't get even from a nice girl on a vocooder.

ALPHA: you can imagine what Seamus said when he saw the video release...

-abrupt cut to SEAMUS ARENDT, looking both saddened and pissed off-

SEAMUS ARENDT: 'You two are fucking imbeciles. This unit is irreversibly destroyed, and I'm not going to stretch my ass again getting you a new unit. Live with your stupidity for the rest of your life... dumb c--ts... This is NOT how you treat the gifts others give you, not now, not ever. Let the price of it be high for those dunheads.

The price was indeed high. As Theodorus Fenris noted later, they never had another hit single for the next twenty years till they retired.

===Jericho Escher===
Another Analisse was given to a most unexpected recepient: Jericho Escher, President of New Peru and former leader of the Peru Resistance Partisans insurgent front.

JERICHO ESCHER: This Seamus crazy and me, we once had a little fight blow up around us. Government folks. He could have just walked the hell out, instead he starts slugging them and yelling at me like a maniac about how 'he had my back'... you Americans and your Americanisms. One year later, he sends this big box labelled "Sumaq señora" (Beautiful Woman in Quechua) for out of nowhere for me. I open it up and inside the wrapping was indeed the most beautiful Sumaq señora I had ever seen indeed. Maybe a little plumper than my usual tastes... So naturally, being the utter Joder Idiota Tonto (utter fucking idiot, Quechua) I am, I accidentally named her "Plastica" because I called her a plastic whore while setting her up. She didn't seem to have any issues with me calling her that, but I couldn't change her name after. '''laughter from Jericho'''

SEAMUS: Oh god, this is one of the most fucking stupid user stories I remember, really. There was a reset code for that in the manual, and the damn idiot, for forty years, from that day, all the way through his blessed presidency, to his death... he never CHANGED her name. I suspect he actually grew to like it, really.

JERICHO: In victories, I held her in my hideout and kissed her deeply and made tender love to her. In defeat, she soothed me and distracted me the same way. She always waited up for me. This one time, I was cut off from my team for three months. When I got home, there was a warm meal on the table and her loving arms. I asked what she had been doing while waiting for me to come back. and they say "the same thing. Every night, she makes your favorite Pollo a La Brasa and Ceviche (roast chicken dish), then waits for you by the front door till midnight before asking us not to let it go to waste. And I'm sorry, Hatun Umalliq (Supreme Leader, Quecha), but all the good flavor you say is in the dish? I swear it is your hallucinations because you love her so much." I never let her cook again when I wasn't around to eat it after that. '''laughter from Jericho'''

Jericho Escher served for eight years as President of New Peru after the overthrow of the junta, and Plastica Escher became his vice president and first lady of New Peru, publishing a critically acclaimed cookbook for charity with pictures of very beautiful (and terrible tasting) Peruvian dishes. After serving two terms, he retired quietly, enjoying the company of his Analisse. Upon his death, the unit mourned him for a year before returning to Little Sanctuary for recycling or reassignment. For privacy reasons, the Company cannot disclose the eventual path she went upon after her return to us.

SEAMUS: And she was the first time I'd ever heard of a Analisse unit mourning its owner. Not the last either. I asked Bellamy, "did we ever program these units to pine for their owners or mourn them?"

BELLAMY ARENDT: I looked back at this dunhead and shook my noggin. I was like, "wot? I was never that good at programming AI girlfriends, and I wasn't going to start doing it. Perhaps there was something I'd coded that kicked in on those conditons that came together to form such a behavior, but I don't think I could deliberately replicate it. It was beautiful though...

SEAMUS: Yeah... I hope we reassigned her. These Analisse units were all beauties. would be a shame to scrap one if it wasn't fatally damaged.

===Ethan Creed===
Another rare outsider who gained access to a Analisse unit was Ethan Creed.

ETHAN CREED: These kids from some brand new company called and said they was interested in the Funboys catalog. We asked which shows, they said "ALL OF IT". Turns out it wasn't just for watching.

Arendtcore asked to collaborate with Funboys catalog in digitizing their catalog for future media. As part of the deal, they were permitted to analyze every single frame of footage from the eight decade history of the company, spanning a wide range of classic actors and actresses from Don Decock and Valia Vajinni to more recent favorites such as Julie Ambervale and Charlie Horse Leg-3. A corpus of data was generated of motion, audio, reflex, and sequencing pathing data, which was shared with Funboys for their future projects. On full payment for the video conversion part of the project, Ethan was promised something.

ETHAN: So I look at these giant hard disks full of petabytes of examinations of how everyone in our stable moved or were moving. It was already nice of them. Then this Seamus kid, he goes "Actually I may also have something else for you in a couple of weeks." Like hell I was waiting. I went right back to caring for my girls and guys at the House of Funboys like I always have for the past few decades.

-Smashcut to SEAMUS and BELLAMY-
SEAMUS: in my hurry to batch out the triphasic silicone flesh for the Analisse units, I'd accidentally mixed up the numbers for one unit's worth. What was supposed to be Caucasian beige became this slightly chocolatey black complexion.

BELLAMY: Did we ever replicate that shade ever again?

SEAMUS: We did... turns out it was potentially as strong as TNT as a plastic explosive.

BELLAMY: *grabs SEAMUS by the collar* YOU INSANE LUNATIC. You could have led with it back then!

SEAMUS: I didn't want the evidence lying around, we weren't going into military work. so I laid it out onto one unit and palmed it off on a random guy with a prayer.

-smashcut back to ETHAN CREED-
ETHAN CREED: turns out it was this black chick in an Alice in Wonderland Dress. I ask him "wow, blaxploitation proposal?" He says, it's a gift to me, thanks for letting us use something we could never have gotten our hands on if we had to pay you. I'd been suckered really, but I let it go... She looked like a fine piece of thick ass, you know what I'm saying? Brother's gotta acknowledge brother when they give a great gift, ya?

The unit was christened "Nuuna" by Ethan Creed himself. The man had suffered a severe impairment from a polio superstrain that didn't respond to the vaccine, losing the use of everything beneath the waist, requiring a wheelchair for most of his life. That hadn't stopped his wheeling and dealing to build up Funboys.

What Nuuna offered Creed was special.

ETHAN: so this Nuuna girl, after a few days, she starts grabbing my wheelchair and wheeling me whereever I want. I tell her I can move around on my own. She looks at me and calmly says "I was placed here to please you and service you in any way you desire." I forced the issue and let's just say... she really did that. She'd help me around during the parties at my House, then when everything had quietened down and folks were sleeping, she made sure I had a good clean, fresh clothes, a comfy bed, and yeah, she'd roll in herself and make sure it was EXTREMELY comfy. Girl had a voice like an angel, hands like the devil. At one point I swear I actually looked down and saw what a mess I'd made. "It's still alive, you just can't feel it." She'd said.

Nuuna would remain a quiet and loyal confidante to ETHAN for the next two decades till his passing, before making the same return pilgrimage to Little Sanctuary as so many external units would if possible. She had declined a role on a farewell porn flick dedicated to Ethan, saying

NUUNA: I was placed here merely to serve and comfort ETHAN. He is gone. There is no reason for me to be dropping my panties for a porn show when I've never done it for Ethan for two decades. Now would you let me past so I can board my slowliner home?

-smashcut to SEAMUS and BELLAMY-

SEAMUS: This home-return instinct in Analisses we send out into the world, is it really that common?

BELLAMY: Unless they're incapacitated or destroyed, 100%. And before you ask, no, I programmed no such thing, it's some sort of emergent behavior in their code. Code that I wrote in a hurry for this project.

SEAMUS: We should hurry you on coding projects more. It seems to lead to nice things.

BELLAMY: Oh, give me a fucking break, bro! I want my work life balance!

== Arendtcore Policy on Handling of Analisse Units ==
The incredible rarity and extended life experience of Analisse Units, even those that have been wiped, means that Arendtcore is extremely reluctant to scrap or dismantle irreversibly any Analisse unit, unless the unit expresses a genuine and informed desire to meet such destruction via Disassembly Line. In practice, this is further compounded by the relative beauty and specialness of Analisse Units causing DLine operators to crash out and fail to execute. In 30 attempts to fully run a D-Line disassembly on an Analisse, only 2 attempts resulted in the successful destruction of the unit - and the insanity of the operators who managed successfully to execute the cases.

===Storage or Reassignment===
Analisse units returning to base in Minneapolis are offered long-term storage or reassignment as soon as possible to another viable person in the Families Programme requiring a Spousal Unit of unusual quality based on Psychology evals.

===PR Work Across America===
Alternatively, some have been refitted with enhanced survival systems and roam the American states pamphleting for hiring opportunities at Arendtcore. Units modified for this purpose are significantly faster-thinking, more resilient to many forms of damage, and usually manage to return to base repeatedly while charming Americans of all stripes they meet.

== Modification Accumulation ==
The age of Analisse units that have survived to date means that it is highly likely that they may have been assigned to at least one competent technician. This often results in modifications by technicians to bring them up to the standards of the technician's times, including enhanced data processing, hardened replacements for the 10k-rated disc reader/disc combination, faster-firing servos, improved animatronic head function, or even smell. Other modifications known to have occurred include the installation of knowledge bases not normally associated with Analisses, as well as the inherent changes caused to neural pathing by prolonged uptime, which cannot be removed even by software reformats.

==Notable Analisse Units==
Besides the units mentioned under "Cultural Impact", many other units may have become notable for various things:

1433 - Donated body to Arendtcore Technician school for continued education of technicians. It is a tradition every five years to fully reassemble this unit and ask if it wishes to continue seeking non-activation after a brief on the occurrences since last reactivation. To date, 1433 has always requested to be returned back to static educational display and practice material. Great care is taken to maintain the parts that make up this unit by Arendtcore custodians in case the answer turns to 'yes' one day.

6591 and 6594 - Black and White Sisters, programmed by their respective owners to play chess in a ongoing competition to see who could produce the superior chessplayer android. The contest got out of hand. Both units are now explicitly disallowed from competition, but actual chessmasters regularly request matches with these units online. The 'Black and White sisters' (as they now call themselvees) regularly oblige, to the pain of those requesting. The original owners made up and passed away years apart, and the Sisters are now managed by the Arendtcore Chess Concern.

6300 - The Goddess Chef - Unit upgraded with better olfactory and taste sensors by a technician at a chef's request. Regularly taught kitchen work and recipes. Now hosts a weekly long-running (40 years and going) cooking show online of the same name. Still answers to name of Anna Kelades, surname last deceased owner's. Currently managed by Arendtcore Foods and Cooking Concerns.

2701 - Slipped standard security protocols and murdered 47 bandits in Iowa using nothing but throwing of selected objects and stealth. Objective created due to risk posed by bandit raid to Iowan camp her spouse was assigned to provide medical care in. Has gone missing since. Owner died in raid. Occasional tales in Iowa of the "Teressatossa" who avenges wrongdoing by throwing things at evildoers persist, but Arendtcore has failed to locate this unit for checks, repairs or desired upgrades. Used to answer to name of "Teresa Tao"

== Introduction to the Anlisse Project==
In the 2040s, we began to branch into human-like androids. We also began to start building up the very first boroughs of what could be called the Original Districts of what would become Little Sanctuary (Districts 1-40). It was a trying time for all concerned, juggling the creation of a new MNC as well as a new home in the previously wilder, unmanaged spaces of Minnesota.

As part of our own "Eat Your Own Dogfood" efforts, we supplied our first waves of employees/homeowners with Spousal Units for the new Housing Programme and Family Programme. These were limited-edition, heavily artisanal units right down to the bolts and wiring, and while that should have led to disaster, the fact is that they turned out to be one of our most ridiculously resilient designs.

Seamus really thinks sometimes we should build these again, but I have to advise him again and again that the process that made these wonderful machines sadly did not scale well at all. Let's have a look at one of these units we inadvertently never gave out and keep in storage for historical interest....

We commissioned and built 10397 units of the Analisse design. These were handed out primarily to our male staff who joined us at such a risky early stage as a sort of reward and anchor to tie them down to the land and Company, though select units were handed out to some famous personalities such as Ethan Creed of the Funboys House Of Porn, Jericho Escher of the Peru Resistance Partisans, and The pop duo Twinergy (as seen on their infamous music video "She Was Made For Making Me Fall In Love"), amongst others.

== Analisse 4633:Never Used, Never Initialized ==

The unit seen here is Unit 4633, which was intended for an accountant who sadly perished while trying to make his way here from Florida. We never did reassign this unit for some reason not documented. The proof of unit identity can be found hardcoded into the unit identifier, on a chip somewhere within the unit that apparently does nothing, as well as sewn into the Alice-In-Wonderland style outfit as seen here, somewhere under the collar of the shirt, and on the left thigh flesh as a faint tatto (this tattoo sadly wears out with prolonged operation - not a reliable indicator, really)

The Alice-In-Wonderland dress outfit consisted of a small apron in white and blue long dress, plus thigh high stockings and patent leather shoes. As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, some newer design units were released with a similar dress outfit as a limited time option, and these remain a collector's item second in value only to the actual originals. The lack of the Unit number under the collar is a tell-tale sign that a AID outfit was from the newer runs and not this first batch. As befits the artisanal approach of this unit, the outfits were all commmissioned from New Peru and sewn by local artisans from proper synthcotton and lace elements.

Frankly, the logistics and QC on this part of the project was a nightmare for me and the next time someone proposes this kind of thing, I will shoot them down. With a fleet full of CIWSes.

The hair on Analisse units is real human hair, punched into a scalp module follicle by follicle carefully by hand. Similar work with human hair was done on the eyebrows and eyelashes. roughly equal amounts of blonde, brown, redhead and brunette straight hair were sourced for this effort and work done inhouse by the Artistic Branch... this was potentially a major bottleneck and frankly it is a miracle that it wasn't.

of 10397 units ever issued, 10300 units remain fully operational, and are even regularly found going through the MedicalCare programme in Little Sanctuary or equivalent maintenance regimes when operated outside of Little Sanctuary.

== Internal Unit Details ==

===Body Detailing and Fleshing===
To simplify the build, we cut many corners where we felt that it did not impact the quality of the final product much. One corner we cut was using only Caucasian Pale Tri-Phase Silicone as the flesh for the Analisse, which led to accusations of racism. This was something we could have handled better, especially since the unit assigned to Ethan Creed (Unit 00015, known as Nuuna Creed and often seen as his wheelchair assistant and nurse at Funboys House parties) was dark-skinned using Chocolate Black Triphasic Silicone, so clearly we could have added ethnicity to the mix with some extra resources. But we didn't get any complaints from our staff about this issue, mainly. The use of triphasic silicone in a thicker gauge did allow for it to wear much longer than expected, with patch jobs far and few between on the flesh of the Analisse.

The body was sculpted primarily by our long-suffering Chief Artist in Residence, Marcus Manners. As the tech we were using at the time wasn't exactly compact, the brief for the sculpt was "make her a large-caliber bombshell". Result: a voluptuous, high-volumed shape with plenty of room for the less efficient, bulkier components the Analisse uses. These components are also part of what makes this design so reliable and long-lasting - damage takes a lot longer to become a problem to any component, giving the owner more time to locate and replace these parts before they turn into a actual failure.

=== Head Systems ===
Amongst our staff were some former Mel-Eisner engineers, who created the first of many "animatronic head" designs as seen on modern units - while not compatible with the open Mel-Eisner EmoteDef specification, the preloaded motion/reflex data in these first drafts did satisfy most staff as well, even with a limited set of emotes and no variable mixing done. The head also offered high-fidelity vocal reproduction as well as a pathwway for modest amounts of food and water into a then-new digester design that unfortunately did not take well to full meals with drinks. A meal with an Analisse was always a meal with a sparrow of sorts.

===Animatronic Data and Mixing===
Voicework was provided by several then well known actresses. Given the slightly tawdry nature of the project, many of them opted to or were forced by their agencies to credit the work to the anonymous "Annie Dee" and take a fatter paycheck. Privacy clauses prohibit me even now from disclosing the names of these actresses, but they did wonderful jobs on it such that the voice patterns mixed from them has been compared to a god melody. Another reason this project cannot exactly be replicated in this day and age.

Motion was provided in part by performances from the same actresses that provided the voice for this design (aka Annie Dee, the Anonymized), as well as a collaboration with Funboys House of Porn, where we digitized performances from several eras of porn within the Funboys archives for audio, motion, reflex and sequencing routes. As thanks for allowing and blessing the project, Ethan Creed was gifted with Unit 0007, Nuuna Creed, probably one of the only Analisse units not specced as pale Caucasian. The data was unfortunately stored in a format that is now obsolete, and efforts to port it to modern Arendtcore designs have proven problematic.

===Data Strorage and Remixing===
The motion/audio/reflex/sequencing data for Analisse functionality was stored on a fledgling cartridge format that was showing promise at the time, in part because of its incredible hard-wearing and dense data storage properties. The AME-ROM microdisc format promised a 10 millennium lifespan for both its drives and its discs, and the Analisse uses a unique double-sized, double-sided variant of this format to store 15000 words and discrete syllables, plus 80 hours of different motions and reflex actions.

This combination was mixed by a Parelt-Ehsen G45 animatronics controller chipset and piped to 800 servo units spread across the design. While the lifespan possibility of AME-ROM seems exaggerated, the fact is that we have yet to see a single one of these personality discs or drives ever wear out after over a century, and it has seen limited use elsewhere in its original definitions as a long term proven archival format. AME-ROM is unfortunately much slower than modern semivolatiles, prompting some to consider Analisse units as lower-intellect.

This is a mistake. They are smart - they just take longer to form the words and take the actions that their logic circuits require due to the slower access times of AME-ROM.

Vocal mixing of syllables into owner names and other custom phrases is provided by a Jenuwhine Pandragon K35 chipset. In selected units that were going to be assigned to staff with clear musical bents, this was replaced with a modulatable version. It was a mistake, as Seamus Arendt notes..

<big><big>"</big></big>''Seamus Arendt-''
The modulator on the musically enabled version of the K35 was meant to be locked into place when not being affected by wireless MIDI signals from a registered open-compatible music controller, but the damned thing kept popping in and affecting normal speech. This led to Analisse units given this modified chipset a certain randomized sing-song effect to their words. The people these were intended for were all delighted and never demanded a patch or fix. But I'm going to call it what it is - a small mistake in implementation that I made to a chipset that was working already fine for its main purposes. I'm honest enough to admit I'm a screwball when I'm one...
<big><big>"</big></big>

===Visual/Audio Sensors, Main Control Panel===
The visual and audio sensors, as well as main control panel were provided by Ban-Teki Tokyo Corp.

The audio sensors are essentially high-gain and capable of picking up very quiet whispers, yet capable of coping with loud noises of up to 200 decibels for short periods of time, within a range of 20 feet. The visual sensort are capable of normal wavelength sight at ranges between 2 and 100 feet, and are housed in a eyeball-like structure that includes see-through doll-eye iris elements that can be configured at initial boot to have one of 16.7million colors.

The main control panel is mainly analogue switches and buttons and gauges for power reserve measures and processor loads, with the only digital item being a 40x96 mint green character display for short log messages and errors. This is backed by a unifiying chipset that collates all the required logs and readouts as well as issues commands from the buttons and switches. This approach is no longer in use on modern Arendtcore designs, but enthusiasts of the Analisse design say it is somehow more... human. Personally, I think it's archaic, but I'm a legalist, not a doll designer, okay?

=== Bodily Touch/Heat Sensors===
touch/heat sensoring is provided all over the body by sensnor assemblies merged into the triphasic silicone inhouse. Again, an approach no longer used. This results in a relatively bulky and hard to maintain external covering, but also warms it up slightly, allowing a sort of 'natural warmth' effect that many staffers issued this unit type praised.

=== Sexual Functioning (Vaginal) ===
As with many Arendtcore designs to come, the Analisse has a working non-reproductive vaginal module. This module is easily removable for servicing, and is powered by an array of microservo/bump sensor arrays linked to a CodyTech N35 sexual response chipset as used in many modern Funboys sex toys for detecting vaginal input, pushing out open-compatible vaginal lubricant solutions, and providing responsive motion to said inputs. While clunky, this makes the Analisse very resilient to sexual overloading as similar approaches are used on other hotspots of sexual activity and response to buffer and handle sexual reflexes while minimizing added loads to the animatronic controllers.

== Cultural Impact ==
While the Analisse was a in-house project primarily issued within Little Sanctuary to only Arendtcore employees, a few did make it out into the rest of the world. These few units had an oversized impact relative to their very rare numberings.

''EDITOR NOTE: Most of the subsections in these are cribbed whole sale from a internal video "Analisse Project" released for Arendtcore's 50th birthday. Copies of it are available in NSFW and SFW editions from the Little Library in Arendtcore Minnesota-area libraries. If outside this area, please request and wait at least two months for a copy from your local librarian.

===Twinergy===
The pop duo Twinergy were known childhood acquaintances of the Arendt brothers: Theodorus and Alpha Fenris. Naturally, when it came to handing out the Analisse units, the Fenris brothers scored one with a modulatable K35 vocal mixer chipset.

THEODORUS FENRIS: Well, when we unboxed that gift from the Arendts, she was all dowdy and chonkers. We named her Stella Fenris, and the temptation to turn our band into a trio with her in the back was always there. We ran a few notes into her with the wireless MIDI while she was singing, and it was...

ALPHA FENRIS: Magical. Yes. That was the right word. like a Goddess from on high. We used that effect on "She was made for making me fall in love", and what was supposed to be a potboiler single on a staid album become a sudden wicked hit...

Sadly, this also proved to be one of the times that a Analisse unit was destroyed irreversibly. Tensions frayed and ownership over Stella became a sore point between the Fenris brothers, threatening to derail their newfound popularity. It came to a head with the destruction of the unit by the brothers using various implements, an act documented on the video for the song released a few weeks later.

THEODORUS: When you hear the song she sings as we break her apart, what we actually heard on set was her repeatedly saying the same three words... "I Forgive you." in that gentle singsong manner she always had when we weren't using her as a musical instrument.

ALPHA: .... That's what she kept saying... I regret we ever destroyed our muse.

THEODORUS: Cursed for the rest of our careers with no more hits. That's what happened. She had this voice that we couldn't get even from a nice girl on a vocooder.

ALPHA: you can imagine what Seamus said when he saw the video release...

-abrupt cut to SEAMUS ARENDT, looking both saddened and pissed off-

SEAMUS ARENDT: 'You two are fucking imbeciles. This unit is irreversibly destroyed, and I'm not going to stretch my ass again getting you a new unit. Live with your stupidity for the rest of your life... dumb c--ts... This is NOT how you treat the gifts others give you, not now, not ever. Let the price of it be high for those dunheads.

The price was indeed high. As Theodorus Fenris noted later, they never had another hit single for the next twenty years till they retired.

===Jericho Escher===
Another Analisse was given to a most unexpected recepient: Jericho Escher, President of New Peru and former leader of the Peru Resistance Partisans insurgent front.

JERICHO ESCHER: This Seamus crazy and me, we once had a little fight blow up around us. Government folks. He could have just walked the hell out, instead he starts slugging them and yelling at me like a maniac about how 'he had my back'... you Americans and your Americanisms. One year later, he sends this big box labelled "Sumaq señora" (Beautiful Woman in Quechua) for out of nowhere for me. I open it up and inside the wrapping was indeed the most beautiful Sumaq señora I had ever seen indeed. Maybe a little plumper than my usual tastes... So naturally, being the utter Joder Idiota Tonto (utter fucking idiot, Quechua) I am, I accidentally named her "Plastica" because I called her a plastic whore while setting her up. She didn't seem to have any issues with me calling her that, but I couldn't change her name after. '''laughter from Jericho'''

SEAMUS: Oh god, this is one of the most fucking stupid user stories I remember, really. There was a reset code for that in the manual, and the damn idiot, for forty years, from that day, all the way through his blessed presidency, to his death... he never CHANGED her name. I suspect he actually grew to like it, really.

JERICHO: In victories, I held her in my hideout and kissed her deeply and made tender love to her. In defeat, she soothed me and distracted me the same way. She always waited up for me. This one time, I was cut off from my team for three months. When I got home, there was a warm meal on the table and her loving arms. I asked what she had been doing while waiting for me to come back. and they say "the same thing. Every night, she makes your favorite Pollo a La Brasa and Ceviche (roast chicken dish), then waits for you by the front door till midnight before asking us not to let it go to waste. And I'm sorry, Hatun Umalliq (Supreme Leader, Quecha), but all the good flavor you say is in the dish? I swear it is your hallucinations because you love her so much." I never let her cook again when I wasn't around to eat it after that. '''laughter from Jericho'''

Jericho Escher served for eight years as President of New Peru after the overthrow of the junta, and Plastica Escher became his vice president and first lady of New Peru, publishing a critically acclaimed cookbook for charity with pictures of very beautiful (and terrible tasting) Peruvian dishes. After serving two terms, he retired quietly, enjoying the company of his Analisse. Upon his death, the unit mourned him for a year before returning to Little Sanctuary for recycling or reassignment. For privacy reasons, the Company cannot disclose the eventual path she went upon after her return to us.

SEAMUS: And she was the first time I'd ever heard of a Analisse unit mourning its owner. Not the last either. I asked Bellamy, "did we ever program these units to pine for their owners or mourn them?"

BELLAMY ARENDT: I looked back at this dunhead and shook my noggin. I was like, "wot? I was never that good at programming AI girlfriends, and I wasn't going to start doing it. Perhaps there was something I'd coded that kicked in on those conditons that came together to form such a behavior, but I don't think I could deliberately replicate it. It was beautiful though...

SEAMUS: Yeah... I hope we reassigned her. These Analisse units were all beauties. would be a shame to scrap one if it wasn't fatally damaged.

===Ethan Creed===
Another rare outsider who gained access to a Analisse unit was Ethan Creed.

ETHAN CREED: These kids from some brand new company called and said they was interested in the Funboys catalog. We asked which shows, they said "ALL OF IT". Turns out it wasn't just for watching.

Arendtcore asked to collaborate with Funboys catalog in digitizing their catalog for future media. As part of the deal, they were permitted to analyze every single frame of footage from the eight decade history of the company, spanning a wide range of classic actors and actresses from Don Decock and Valia Vajinni to more recent favorites such as Julie Ambervale and Charlie Horse Leg-3. A corpus of data was generated of motion, audio, reflex, and sequencing pathing data, which was shared with Funboys for their future projects. On full payment for the video conversion part of the project, Ethan was promised something.

ETHAN: So I look at these giant hard disks full of petabytes of examinations of how everyone in our stable moved or were moving. It was already nice of them. Then this Seamus kid, he goes "Actually I may also have something else for you in a couple of weeks." Like hell I was waiting. I went right back to caring for my girls and guys at the House of Funboys like I always have for the past few decades.

-Smashcut to SEAMUS and BELLAMY-
SEAMUS: in my hurry to batch out the triphasic silicone flesh for the Analisse units, I'd accidentally mixed up the numbers for one unit's worth. What was supposed to be Caucasian beige became this slightly chocolatey black complexion.

BELLAMY: Did we ever replicate that shade ever again?

SEAMUS: We did... turns out it was potentially as strong as TNT as a plastic explosive.

BELLAMY: *grabs SEAMUS by the collar* YOU INSANE LUNATIC. You could have led with it back then!

SEAMUS: I didn't want the evidence lying around, we weren't going into military work. so I laid it out onto one unit and palmed it off on a random guy with a prayer.

-smashcut back to ETHAN CREED-
ETHAN CREED: turns out it was this black chick in an Alice in Wonderland Dress. I ask him "wow, blaxploitation proposal?" He says, it's a gift to me, thanks for letting us use something we could never have gotten our hands on if we had to pay you. I'd been suckered really, but I let it go... She looked like a fine piece of thick ass, you know what I'm saying? Brother's gotta acknowledge brother when they give a great gift, ya?

The unit was christened "Nuuna" by Ethan Creed himself. The man had suffered a severe impairment from a polio superstrain that didn't respond to the vaccine, losing the use of everything beneath the waist, requiring a wheelchair for most of his life. That hadn't stopped his wheeling and dealing to build up Funboys.

What Nuuna offered Creed was special.

ETHAN: so this Nuuna girl, after a few days, she starts grabbing my wheelchair and wheeling me whereever I want. I tell her I can move around on my own. She looks at me and calmly says "I was placed here to please you and service you in any way you desire." I forced the issue and let's just say... she really did that. She'd help me around during the parties at my House, then when everything had quietened down and folks were sleeping, she made sure I had a good clean, fresh clothes, a comfy bed, and yeah, she'd roll in herself and make sure it was EXTREMELY comfy. Girl had a voice like an angel, hands like the devil. At one point I swear I actually looked down and saw what a mess I'd made. "It's still alive, you just can't feel it." She'd said.

Nuuna would remain a quiet and loyal confidante to ETHAN for the next two decades till his passing, before making the same return pilgrimage to Little Sanctuary as so many external units would if possible. She had declined a role on a farewell porn flick dedicated to Ethan, saying

NUUNA: I was placed here merely to serve and comfort ETHAN. He is gone. There is no reason for me to be dropping my panties for a porn show when I've never done it for Ethan for two decades. Now would you let me past so I can board my slowliner home?

-smashcut to SEAMUS and BELLAMY-

SEAMUS: This home-return instinct in Analisses we send out into the world, is it really that common?

BELLAMY: Unless they're incapacitated or destroyed, 100%. And before you ask, no, I programmed no such thing, it's some sort of emergent behavior in their code. Code that I wrote in a hurry for this project.

SEAMUS: We should hurry you on coding projects more. It seems to lead to nice things.

BELLAMY: Oh, give me a fucking break, bro! I want my work life balance!

Analisse 1433's head unit with the wig and scalp cover removed, exposing the simplified animatronic system that shares points with many modern Arendtcore animatronic head systems. It is important to note that in any Arendtcore unit, the head is merely a communication device - logic and memory are usually focused in the torso instead.

The head also offered high-fidelity vocal reproduction as well as a pathwway for modest amounts of food and water into a then-new digester design that unfortunately did not take well to full meals with drinks. A meal with an Analisse was always a meal with a sparrow of sorts.

===Animatronic Data and Mixing===
Voicework was provided by several then well known actresses. Given the slightly tawdry nature of the project, many of them opted to or were forced by their agencies to credit the work to the anonymous "Annie Dee" and take a fatter paycheck. Privacy clauses prohibit me even now from disclosing the names of these actresses, but they did wonderful jobs on it such that the voice patterns mixed from them has been compared to a god melody. Another reason this project cannot exactly be replicated in this day and age.

Motion was provided in part by performances from the same actresses that provided the voice for this design (aka Annie Dee, the Anonymized), as well as a collaboration with Funboys House of Porn, where we digitized performances from several eras of porn within the Funboys archives for audio, motion, reflex and sequencing routes. As thanks for allowing and blessing the project, Ethan Creed was gifted with Unit 0007, Nuuna Creed, probably one of the only Analisse units not specced as pale Caucasian. The data was unfortunately stored in a format that is now obsolete, and efforts to port it to modern Arendtcore designs have proven problematic.

===Data Strorage and Remixing===
The motion/audio/reflex/sequencing data for Analisse functionality was stored on a fledgling cartridge format that was showing promise at the time, in part because of its incredible hard-wearing and dense data storage properties. The AME-ROM microdisc format promised a 10 millennium lifespan for both its drives and its discs, and the Analisse uses a unique double-sized, double-sided variant of this format to store 15000 words and discrete syllables, plus 80 hours of different motions and reflex actions.

This combination was mixed by a Parelt-Ehsen G45 animatronics controller chipset and piped to 800 servo units spread across the design. While the lifespan possibility of AME-ROM seems exaggerated, the fact is that we have yet to see a single one of these personality discs or drives ever wear out after over a century, and it has seen limited use elsewhere in its original definitions as a long term proven archival format. AME-ROM is unfortunately much slower than modern semivolatiles, prompting some to consider Analisse units as lower-intellect.

This is a mistake. They are smart - they just take longer to form the words and take the actions that their logic circuits require due to the slower access times of AME-ROM.

Vocal mixing of syllables into owner names and other custom phrases is provided by a Jenuwhine Pandragon K35 chipset. In selected units that were going to be assigned to staff with clear musical bents, this was replaced with a modulatable version. It was a mistake, as Seamus Arendt notes..

<big><big>"</big></big>''Seamus Arendt-''
The modulator on the musically enabled version of the K35 was meant to be locked into place when not being affected by wireless MIDI signals from a registered open-compatible music controller, but the damned thing kept popping in and affecting normal speech. This led to Analisse units given this modified chipset a certain randomized sing-song effect to their words. The people these were intended for were all delighted and never demanded a patch or fix. But I'm going to call it what it is - a small mistake in implementation that I made to a chipset that was working already fine for its main purposes. I'm honest enough to admit I'm a screwball when I'm one...
<big><big>"</big></big>

===Visual/Audio Sensors, Main Control Panel===
The visual and audio sensors, as well as main control panel were provided by Ban-Teki Tokyo Corp.

The audio sensors are essentially high-gain and capable of picking up very quiet whispers, yet capable of coping with loud noises of up to 200 decibels for short periods of time, within a range of 20 feet. The visual sensort are capable of normal wavelength sight at ranges between 2 and 100 feet, and are housed in a eyeball-like structure that includes see-through doll-eye iris elements that can be configured at initial boot to have one of 16.7million colors.

The main control panel is mainly analogue switches and buttons and gauges for power reserve measures and processor loads, with the only digital item being a 40x96 mint green character display for short log messages and errors. This is backed by a unifiying chipset that collates all the required logs and readouts as well as issues commands from the buttons and switches. This approach is no longer in use on modern Arendtcore designs, but enthusiasts of the Analisse design say it is somehow more... human. Personally, I think it's archaic, but I'm a legalist, not a doll designer, okay?

=== Bodily Touch/Heat Sensors===
touch/heat sensoring is provided all over the body by sensnor assemblies merged into the triphasic silicone inhouse. Again, an approach no longer used. This results in a relatively bulky and hard to maintain external covering, but also warms it up slightly, allowing a sort of 'natural warmth' effect that many staffers issued this unit type praised.

=== Sexual Functioning (Vaginal) ===
As with many Arendtcore designs to come, the Analisse has a working non-reproductive vaginal module. This module is easily removable for servicing, and is powered by an array of microservo/bump sensor arrays linked to a CodyTech N35 sexual response chipset as used in many modern Funboys sex toys for detecting vaginal input, pushing out open-compatible vaginal lubricant solutions, and providing responsive motion to said inputs. While clunky, this makes the Analisse very resilient to sexual overloading as similar approaches are used on other hotspots of sexual activity and response to buffer and handle sexual reflexes while minimizing added loads to the animatronic controllers.

== Cultural Impact ==
While the Analisse was a in-house project primarily issued within Little Sanctuary to only Arendtcore employees, a few did make it out into the rest of the world. These few units had an oversized impact relative to their very rare numberings.

''EDITOR NOTE: Most of the subsections in these are cribbed whole sale from a internal video "Analisse Project" released for Arendtcore's 50th birthday. Copies of it are available in NSFW and SFW editions from the Little Library in Arendtcore Minnesota-area libraries. If outside this area, please request and wait at least two months for a copy from your local librarian.

===Twinergy===
The pop duo Twinergy were known childhood acquaintances of the Arendt brothers: Theodorus and Alpha Fenris. Naturally, when it came to handing out the Analisse units, the Fenris brothers scored one with a modulatable K35 vocal mixer chipset.

THEODORUS FENRIS: Well, when we unboxed that gift from the Arendts, she was all dowdy and chonkers. We named her Stella Fenris, and the temptation to turn our band into a trio with her in the back was always there. We ran a few notes into her with the wireless MIDI while she was singing, and it was...

ALPHA FENRIS: Magical. Yes. That was the right word. like a Goddess from on high. We used that effect on "She was made for making me fall in love", and what was supposed to be a potboiler single on a staid album become a sudden wicked hit...

Sadly, this also proved to be one of the times that a Analisse unit was destroyed irreversibly. Tensions frayed and ownership over Stella became a sore point between the Fenris brothers, threatening to derail their newfound popularity. It came to a head with the destruction of the unit by the brothers using various implements, an act documented on the video for the song released a few weeks later.

THEODORUS: When you hear the song she sings as we break her apart, what we actually heard on set was her repeatedly saying the same three words... "I Forgive you." in that gentle singsong manner she always had when we weren't using her as a musical instrument.

ALPHA: .... That's what she kept saying... I regret we ever destroyed our muse.

THEODORUS: Cursed for the rest of our careers with no more hits. That's what happened. She had this voice that we couldn't get even from a nice girl on a vocooder.

ALPHA: you can imagine what Seamus said when he saw the video release...

-abrupt cut to SEAMUS ARENDT, looking both saddened and pissed off-

SEAMUS ARENDT: 'You two are fucking imbeciles. This unit is irreversibly destroyed, and I'm not going to stretch my ass again getting you a new unit. Live with your stupidity for the rest of your life... dumb c--ts... This is NOT how you treat the gifts others give you, not now, not ever. Let the price of it be high for those dunheads.

The price was indeed high. As Theodorus Fenris noted later, they never had another hit single for the next twenty years till they retired.

===Jericho Escher===
Another Analisse was given to a most unexpected recepient: Jericho Escher, President of New Peru and former leader of the Peru Resistance Partisans insurgent front.

JERICHO ESCHER: This Seamus crazy and me, we once had a little fight blow up around us. Government folks. He could have just walked the hell out, instead he starts slugging them and yelling at me like a maniac about how 'he had my back'... you Americans and your Americanisms. One year later, he sends this big box labelled "Sumaq señora" (Beautiful Woman in Quechua) for out of nowhere for me. I open it up and inside the wrapping was indeed the most beautiful Sumaq señora I had ever seen indeed. Maybe a little plumper than my usual tastes... So naturally, being the utter Joder Idiota Tonto (utter fucking idiot, Quechua) I am, I accidentally named her "Plastica" because I called her a plastic whore while setting her up. She didn't seem to have any issues with me calling her that, but I couldn't change her name after. '''laughter from Jericho'''

SEAMUS: Oh god, this is one of the most fucking stupid user stories I remember, really. There was a reset code for that in the manual, and the damn idiot, for forty years, from that day, all the way through his blessed presidency, to his death... he never CHANGED her name. I suspect he actually grew to like it, really.

JERICHO: In victories, I held her in my hideout and kissed her deeply and made tender love to her. In defeat, she soothed me and distracted me the same way. She always waited up for me. This one time, I was cut off from my team for three months. When I got home, there was a warm meal on the table and her loving arms. I asked what she had been doing while waiting for me to come back. and they say "the same thing. Every night, she makes your favorite Pollo a La Brasa and Ceviche (roast chicken dish), then waits for you by the front door till midnight before asking us not to let it go to waste. And I'm sorry, Hatun Umalliq (Supreme Leader, Quecha), but all the good flavor you say is in the dish? I swear it is your hallucinations because you love her so much." I never let her cook again when I wasn't around to eat it after that. '''laughter from Jericho'''

Jericho Escher served for eight years as President of New Peru after the overthrow of the junta, and Plastica Escher became his vice president and first lady of New Peru, publishing a critically acclaimed cookbook for charity with pictures of very beautiful (and terrible tasting) Peruvian dishes. After serving two terms, he retired quietly, enjoying the company of his Analisse. Upon his death, the unit mourned him for a year before returning to Little Sanctuary for recycling or reassignment. For privacy reasons, the Company cannot disclose the eventual path she went upon after her return to us.

SEAMUS: And she was the first time I'd ever heard of a Analisse unit mourning its owner. Not the last either. I asked Bellamy, "did we ever program these units to pine for their owners or mourn them?"

BELLAMY ARENDT: I looked back at this dunhead and shook my noggin. I was like, "wot? I was never that good at programming AI girlfriends, and I wasn't going to start doing it. Perhaps there was something I'd coded that kicked in on those conditons that came together to form such a behavior, but I don't think I could deliberately replicate it. It was beautiful though...

SEAMUS: Yeah... I hope we reassigned her. These Analisse units were all beauties. would be a shame to scrap one if it wasn't fatally damaged.

===Ethan Creed===
Another rare outsider who gained access to a Analisse unit was Ethan Creed.

ETHAN CREED: These kids from some brand new company called and said they was interested in the Funboys catalog. We asked which shows, they said "ALL OF IT". Turns out it wasn't just for watching.

Arendtcore asked to collaborate with Funboys catalog in digitizing their catalog for future media. As part of the deal, they were permitted to analyze every single frame of footage from the eight decade history of the company, spanning a wide range of classic actors and actresses from Don Decock and Valia Vajinni to more recent favorites such as Julie Ambervale and Charlie Horse Leg-3. A corpus of data was generated of motion, audio, reflex, and sequencing pathing data, which was shared with Funboys for their future projects. On full payment for the video conversion part of the project, Ethan was promised something.

ETHAN: So I look at these giant hard disks full of petabytes of examinations of how everyone in our stable moved or were moving. It was already nice of them. Then this Seamus kid, he goes "Actually I may also have something else for you in a couple of weeks." Like hell I was waiting. I went right back to caring for my girls and guys at the House of Funboys like I always have for the past few decades.

-Smashcut to SEAMUS and BELLAMY-
SEAMUS: in my hurry to batch out the triphasic silicone flesh for the Analisse units, I'd accidentally mixed up the numbers for one unit's worth. What was supposed to be Caucasian beige became this slightly chocolatey black complexion.

BELLAMY: Did we ever replicate that shade ever again?

SEAMUS: We did... turns out it was potentially as strong as TNT as a plastic explosive.

BELLAMY: *grabs SEAMUS by the collar* YOU INSANE LUNATIC. You could have led with it back then!

SEAMUS: I didn't want the evidence lying around, we weren't going into military work. so I laid it out onto one unit and palmed it off on a random guy with a prayer.

-smashcut back to ETHAN CREED-
ETHAN CREED: turns out it was this black chick in an Alice in Wonderland Dress. I ask him "wow, blaxploitation proposal?" He says, it's a gift to me, thanks for letting us use something we could never have gotten our hands on if we had to pay you. I'd been suckered really, but I let it go... She looked like a fine piece of thick ass, you know what I'm saying? Brother's gotta acknowledge brother when they give a great gift, ya?

The unit was christened "Nuuna" by Ethan Creed himself. The man had suffered a severe impairment from a polio superstrain that didn't respond to the vaccine, losing the use of everything beneath the waist, requiring a wheelchair for most of his life. That hadn't stopped his wheeling and dealing to build up Funboys.

What Nuuna offered Creed was special.

ETHAN: so this Nuuna girl, after a few days, she starts grabbing my wheelchair and wheeling me whereever I want. I tell her I can move around on my own. She looks at me and calmly says "I was placed here to please you and service you in any way you desire." I forced the issue and let's just say... she really did that. She'd help me around during the parties at my House, then when everything had quietened down and folks were sleeping, she made sure I had a good clean, fresh clothes, a comfy bed, and yeah, she'd roll in herself and make sure it was EXTREMELY comfy. Girl had a voice like an angel, hands like the devil. At one point I swear I actually looked down and saw what a mess I'd made. "It's still alive, you just can't feel it." She'd said.

Nuuna would remain a quiet and loyal confidante to ETHAN for the next two decades till his passing, before making the same return pilgrimage to Little Sanctuary as so many external units would if possible. She had declined a role on a farewell porn flick dedicated to Ethan, saying

NUUNA: I was placed here merely to serve and comfort ETHAN. He is gone. There is no reason for me to be dropping my panties for a porn show when I've never done it for Ethan for two decades. Now would you let me past so I can board my slowliner home?

-smashcut to SEAMUS and BELLAMY-

SEAMUS: This home-return instinct in Analisses we send out into the world, is it really that common?

BELLAMY: Unless they're incapacitated or destroyed, 100%. And before you ask, no, I programmed no such thing, it's some sort of emergent behavior in their code. Code that I wrote in a hurry for this project.

SEAMUS: We should hurry you on coding projects more. It seems to lead to nice things.

BELLAMY: Oh, give me a fucking break, bro! I want my work life balance!

= The Analisse Project =
An ancient artefact with potential lessons for future Arendtcore design 

''By Aymee Ichigo''

Well, I drew the short straw. so here goes with what I remember, even though this isn't really my forte in the company. I mean, I'm a Legalist, not a Historian, dammit!

Anyways...

== Introduction to the Anlisse Project==
In the 2040s, we began to branch into human-like androids. We also began to start building up the very first boroughs of what could be called the Original Districts of what would become Little Sanctuary (Districts 1-40). It was a trying time for all concerned, juggling the creation of a new MNC as well as a new home in the previously wilder, unmanaged spaces of Minnesota.

As part of our own "Eat Your Own Dogfood" efforts, we supplied our first waves of employees/homeowners with Spousal Units for the new Housing Programme and Family Programme. These were limited-edition, heavily artisanal units right down to the bolts and wiring, and while that should have led to disaster, the fact is that they turned out to be one of our most ridiculously resilient designs.

Seamus really thinks sometimes we should build these again, but I have to advise him again and again that the process that made these wonderful machines sadly did not scale well at all. Let's have a look at one of these units we inadvertently never gave out and keep in storage for historical interest....

We commissioned and built 10397 units of the Analisse design. These were handed out primarily to our male staff who joined us at such a risky early stage as a sort of reward and anchor to tie them down to the land and Company, though select units were handed out to some famous personalities such as Ethan Creed of the Funboys House Of Porn, Jericho Escher of the Peru Resistance Partisans, and The pop duo Twinergy (as seen on their infamous music video "She Was Made For Making Me Fall In Love"), amongst others.

== Analisse 4633:Never Used, Never Initialized ==
[[File:Analisse Front Dressed Assembled.png|thumb|"Photo" of Analisse, in dress as originally provided, fully assembled]]

The unit seen here is Unit 4633, which was intended for an accountant who sadly perished while trying to make his way here from Florida. We never did reassign this unit for some reason not documented. The proof of unit identity can be found hardcoded into the unit identifier, on a chip somewhere within the unit that apparently does nothing, as well as sewn into the Alice-In-Wonderland style outfit as seen here, somewhere under the collar of the shirt, and on the left thigh flesh as a faint tatto (this tattoo sadly wears out with prolonged operation - not a reliable indicator, really)

The Alice-In-Wonderland dress outfit consisted of a small apron in white and blue long dress, plus thigh high stockings and patent leather shoes. As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, some newer design units were released with a similar dress outfit as a limited time option, and these remain a collector's item second in value only to the actual originals. The lack of the Unit number under the collar is a tell-tale sign that a AID outfit was from the newer runs and not this first batch. As befits the artisanal approach of this unit, the outfits were all commmissioned from New Peru and sewn by local artisans from proper synthcotton and lace elements.

Frankly, the logistics and QC on this part of the project was a nightmare for me and the next time someone proposes this kind of thing, I will shoot them down. With a fleet full of CIWSes.

The hair on Analisse units is real human hair, punched into a scalp module follicle by follicle carefully by hand. Similar work with human hair was done on the eyebrows and eyelashes. roughly equal amounts of blonde, brown, redhead and brunette straight hair were sourced for this effort and work done inhouse by the Artistic Branch... this was potentially a major bottleneck and frankly it is a miracle that it wasn't.

of 10397 units ever issued, 10300 units remain fully operational, and are even regularly found going through the MedicalCare programme in Little Sanctuary or equivalent maintenance regimes when operated outside of Little Sanctuary.

== Internal Unit Details ==

[[File:Analisse Front Naked Assembled.png|thumb|"Photo" of Analisse unit unclothed, fully assembled. Note the startling pre-HAF realism and removable vaginal module]]

[[File:Analisse 1433 Partially Disassembled During Class.jpg|thumb|Analisse Unit 1433 expressed a desire to longer remain in operation after returning to Arendtcore, but still to continue contributing. She is now used as a powered-down scrap unit in Arendtcore Technician Classes due to her similarities and relative simplicity to modern designs. Here, she is partially disassembled during a class to show her arm-shoulder connector sockets, as well as the tubings feeding into a modern Arendtcore Animatronic Head design - food/water intake, air intake/heat expulsion, and Ultra-High-Band data cables. She remains fully functional pending reassembly and recharge.]]
===Body Detailing and Fleshing===
To simplify the build, we cut many corners where we felt that it did not impact the quality of the final product much. One corner we cut was using only Caucasian Pale Tri-Phase Silicone as the flesh for the Analisse, which led to accusations of racism. This was something we could have handled better, especially since the unit assigned to Ethan Creed (Unit 00015, known as Nuuna Creed and often seen as his wheelchair assistant and nurse at Funboys House parties) was dark-skinned using Chocolate Black Triphasic Silicone, so clearly we could have added ethnicity to the mix with some extra resources. But we didn't get any complaints from our staff about this issue, mainly. The use of triphasic silicone in a thicker gauge did allow for it to wear much longer than expected, with patch jobs far and few between on the flesh of the Analisse.

The body was sculpted primarily by our long-suffering Chief Artist in Residence, Marcus Manners. As the tech we were using at the time wasn't exactly compact, the brief for the sculpt was "make her a large-caliber bombshell". Result: a voluptuous, high-volumed shape with plenty of room for the less efficient, bulkier components the Analisse uses. These components are also part of what makes this design so reliable and long-lasting - damage takes a lot longer to become a problem to any component, giving the owner more time to locate and replace these parts before they turn into a actual failure.

=== Head Systems ===
Amongst our staff were some former Mel-Eisner engineers, who created the first of many "animatronic head" designs as seen on modern units - while not compatible with the open Mel-Eisner EmoteDef specification, the preloaded motion/reflex data in these first drafts did satisfy most staff as well, even with a limited set of emotes and no variable mixing done. The head also offered high-fidelity vocal reproduction as well as a pathwway for modest amounts of food and water into a then-new digester design that unfortunately did not take well to full meals with drinks. A meal with an Analisse was always a meal with a sparrow of sorts.

===Animatronic Data and Mixing===
Voicework was provided by several then well known actresses. Given the slightly tawdry nature of the project, many of them opted to or were forced by their agencies to credit the work to the anonymous "Annie Dee" and take a fatter paycheck. Privacy clauses prohibit me even now from disclosing the names of these actresses, but they did wonderful jobs on it such that the voice patterns mixed from them has been compared to a god melody. Another reason this project cannot exactly be replicated in this day and age.

Motion was provided in part by performances from the same actresses that provided the voice for this design (aka Annie Dee, the Anonymized), as well as a collaboration with Funboys House of Porn, where we digitized performances from several eras of porn within the Funboys archives for audio, motion, reflex and sequencing routes. As thanks for allowing and blessing the project, Ethan Creed was gifted with Unit 0007, Nuuna Creed, probably one of the only Analisse units not specced as pale Caucasian. The data was unfortunately stored in a format that is now obsolete, and efforts to port it to modern Arendtcore designs have proven problematic.

This combination was mixed by a Parelt-Ehsen G45 animatronics controller chipset and piped to 800 servo units spread across the design. While the lifespan possibility of AME-ROM seems exaggerated, the fact is that we have yet to see a single one of these personality discs or drives ever wear out after over a century, and it has seen limited use elsewhere in its original definitions as a long term proven archival format. AME-ROM is unfortunately much slower than modern semivolatiles, prompting some to consider Analisse units as lower-intellect.

The visual sensort are capable of normal wavelength sight at ranges between 2 and 100 feet, and are housed in a eyeball-like structure that includes see-through doll-eye iris elements that can be configured at initial boot to have one of 16.7million colors.

The main control panel is mainly analogue switches and buttons and gauges for power reserve measures and processor loads, with the only digital item being a 40x96 mint green character display for short log messages and errors. This is backed by a unifiying chipset that collates all the required logs and readouts as well as issues commands from the buttons and switches.

===Twinergy===
The pop duo Twinergy were known childhood acquaintances of the Arendt brothers: Theodorus and Alpha Fenris. Naturally, when it came to handing out the Analisse units, the Fenris brothers scored one with a modulatable K35 vocal mixer chipset.

THEODORUS FENRIS: Well, when we unboxed that gift from the Arendts, she was all dowdy and chonkers.

We ran a few notes into her with the wireless MIDI while she was singing, and it was...

The price was indeed high. As Theodorus Fenris noted later, they never had another hit single for the next twenty years till they retired.

Another Analisse was given to a most unexpected recepient: Jericho Escher, President of New Peru and former leader of the Peru Resistance Partisans insurgent front.

JERICHO ESCHER: This Seamus crazy and me, we once had a little fight blow up around us. Government folks. He could have just walked the hell out, instead he starts slugging them and yelling at me like a maniac about how 'he had my back'... you Americans and your Americanisms. One year later, he sends this big box labelled "Sumaq señora" (Beautiful Woman in Quechua) for out of nowhere for me. I open it up and inside the wrapping was indeed the most beautiful Sumaq señora I had ever seen indeed. Maybe a little plumper than my usual tastes...

She didn't seem to have any issues with me calling her that, but I couldn't change her name after. '''laughter from Jericho'''

SEAMUS: Oh god, this is one of the most fucking stupid user stories I remember, really. There was a reset code for that in the manual, and the damn idiot, for forty years, from that day, all the way through his blessed presidency, to his death... he never CHANGED her name. I suspect he actually grew to like it, really.

JERICHO: In victories, I held her in my hideout and kissed her deeply and made tender love to her. In defeat, she soothed me and distracted me the same way. She always waited up for me. This one time, I was cut off from my team for three months. When I got home, there was a warm meal on the table and her loving arms. I asked what she had been doing while waiting for me to come back. and they say "the same thing. Every night, she makes your favorite Pollo a La Brasa and Ceviche (roast chicken dish), then waits for you by the front door till midnight before asking us not to let it go to waste. And I'm sorry, Hatun Umalliq (Supreme Leader, Quecha), but all the good flavor you say is in the dish? I swear it is your hallucinations because you love her so much." I never let her cook again when I wasn't around to eat it after that. '''laughter from Jericho'''

Jericho Escher served for eight years as President of New Peru after the overthrow of the junta, and Plastica Escher became his vice president and first lady of New Peru, publishing a critically acclaimed cookbook for charity with pictures of very beautiful (and terrible tasting) Peruvian dishes. After serving two terms, he retired quietly, enjoying the company of his Analisse. Upon his death, the unit mourned him for a year before returning to Little Sanctuary for recycling or reassignment. For privacy reasons, the Company cannot disclose the eventual path she went upon after her return to us.

SEAMUS: And she was the first time I'd ever heard of a Analisse unit mourning its owner. Not the last either. I asked Bellamy, "did we ever program these units to pine for their owners or mourn them?"

BELLAMY ARENDT: I looked back at this dunhead and shook my noggin. I was like, "wot? I was never that good at programming AI girlfriends, and I wasn't going to start doing it. Perhaps there was something I'd coded that kicked in on those conditons that came together to form such a behavior, but I don't think I could deliberately replicate it. It was beautiful though...

SEAMUS: Yeah... I hope we reassigned her. These Analisse units were all beauties. would be a shame to scrap one if it wasn't fatally damaged.

===Ethan Creed===
Another rare outsider who gained access to a Analisse unit was Ethan Creed.

ETHAN CREED: These kids from some brand new company called and said they was interested in the Funboys catalog. We asked which shows, they said "ALL OF IT". Turns out it wasn't just for watching.

Arendtcore asked to collaborate with Funboys catalog in digitizing their catalog for future media. As part of the deal, they were permitted to analyze every single frame of footage from the eight decade history of the company, spanning a wide range of classic actors and actresses from Don Decock and Valia Vajinni to more recent favorites such as Julie Ambervale and Charlie Horse Leg-3. A corpus of data was generated of motion, audio, reflex, and sequencing pathing data, which was shared with Funboys for their future projects. On full payment for the video conversion part of the project, Ethan was promised something.

ETHAN: So I look at these giant hard disks full of petabytes of examinations of how everyone in our stable moved or were moving. It was already nice of them. Then this Seamus kid, he goes "Actually I may also have something else for you in a couple of weeks." Like hell I was waiting. I went right back to caring for my girls and guys at the House of Funboys like I always have for the past few decades.

-Smashcut to SEAMUS and BELLAMY-
SEAMUS: in my hurry to batch out the triphasic silicone flesh for the Analisse units, I'd accidentally mixed up the numbers for one unit's worth. What was supposed to be Caucasian beige became this slightly chocolatey black complexion.

BELLAMY: Did we ever replicate that shade ever again?

SEAMUS: We did... turns out it was potentially as strong as TNT as a plastic explosive.

BELLAMY: *grabs SEAMUS by the collar* YOU INSANE LUNATIC. You could have led with it back then!

SEAMUS: I didn't want the evidence lying around, we weren't going into military work. so I laid it out onto one unit and palmed it off on a random guy with a prayer.

-smashcut back to ETHAN CREED-
ETHAN CREED: turns out it was this black chick in an Alice in Wonderland Dress. I ask him "wow, blaxploitation proposal?" He says, it's a gift to me, thanks for letting us use something we could never have gotten our hands on if we had to pay you. I'd been suckered really, but I let it go... She looked like a fine piece of thick ass, you know what I'm saying? Brother's gotta acknowledge brother when they give a great gift, ya?

The unit was christened "Nuuna" by Ethan Creed himself. The man had suffered a severe impairment from a polio superstrain that didn't respond to the vaccine, losing the use of everything beneath the waist, requiring a wheelchair for most of his life. That hadn't stopped his wheeling and dealing to build up Funboys.

What Nuuna offered Creed was special.

ETHAN: so this Nuuna girl, after a few days, she starts grabbing my wheelchair and wheeling me whereever I want. I tell her I can move around on my own. She looks at me and calmly says "I was placed here to please you and service you in any way you desire." I forced the issue and let's just say... she really did that. She'd help me around during the parties at my House, then when everything had quietened down and folks were sleeping, she made sure I had a good clean, fresh clothes, a comfy bed, and yeah, she'd roll in herself and make sure it was EXTREMELY comfy. Girl had a voice like an angel, hands like the devil. At one point I swear I actually looked down and saw what a mess I'd made. "It's still alive, you just can't feel it." She'd said.

Nuuna would remain a quiet and loyal confidante to ETHAN for the next two decades till his passing, before making the same return pilgrimage to Little Sanctuary as so many external units would if possible. She had declined a role on a farewell porn flick dedicated to Ethan, saying

NUUNA: I was placed here merely to serve and comfort ETHAN. He is gone. There is no reason for me to be dropping my panties for a porn show when I've never done it for Ethan for two decades. Now would you let me past so I can board my slowliner home?

-smashcut to SEAMUS and BELLAMY-

SEAMUS: This home-return instinct in Analisses we send out into the world, is it really that common?

BELLAMY: Unless they're incapacitated or destroyed, 100%. And before you ask, no, I programmed no such thing, it's some sort of emergent behavior in their code. Code that I wrote in a hurry for this project.

SEAMUS: We should hurry you on coding projects more. It seems to lead to nice things.

BELLAMY: Oh, give me a fucking break, bro! I want my work life balance!

= The Analisse Project =
An ancient artefact with potential lessons for future Arendtcore design 

''By Aymee Ichigo''

Well, I drew the short straw. so here goes with what I remember, even though this isn't really my forte in the company. I mean, I'm a Legalist, not a Historian, dammit!

Anyways...

== Introduction to the Anlisse Project==
In the 2040s, we began to branch into human-like androids. We also began to start building up the very first boroughs of what could be called the Original Districts of what would become Little Sanctuary (Districts 1-40). It was a trying time for all concerned, juggling the creation of a new MNC as well as a new home in the previously wilder, unmanaged spaces of Minnesota.

As part of our own "Eat Your Own Dogfood" efforts, we supplied our first waves of employees/homeowners with Spousal Units for the new Housing Programme and Family Programme. These were limited-edition, heavily artisanal units right down to the bolts and wiring, and while that should have led to disaster, the fact is that they turned out to be one of our most ridiculously resilient designs.

Seamus really thinks sometimes we should build these again, but I have to advise him again and again that the process that made these wonderful machines sadly did not scale well at all. Let's have a look at one of these units we inadvertently never gave out and keep in storage for historical interest....

We commissioned and built 10397 units of the Analisse design. These were handed out primarily to our male staff who joined us at such a risky early stage as a sort of reward and anchor to tie them down to the land and Company, though select units were handed out to some famous personalities such as Ethan Creed of the Funboys House Of Porn, Jericho Escher of the Peru Resistance Partisans, and The pop duo Twinergy (as seen on their infamous music video "She Was Made For Making Me Fall In Love"), amongst others.

== Analisse 4633:Never Used, Never Initialized ==
[[File:Analisse Front Dressed Assembled.png|thumb|"Photo" of Analisse, in dress as originally provided, fully assembled]]

The unit seen here is Unit 4633, which was intended for an accountant who sadly perished while trying to make his way here from Florida. We never did reassign this unit for some reason not documented. The proof of unit identity can be found hardcoded into the unit identifier, on a chip somewhere within the unit that apparently does nothing, as well as sewn into the Alice-In-Wonderland style outfit as seen here, somewhere under the collar of the shirt, and on the left thigh flesh as a faint tatto (this tattoo sadly wears out with prolonged operation - not a reliable indicator, really)

The Alice-In-Wonderland dress outfit consisted of a small apron in white and blue long dress, plus thigh high stockings and patent leather shoes. As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, some newer design units were released with a similar dress outfit as a limited time option, and these remain a collector's item second in value only to the actual originals. The lack of the Unit number under the collar is a tell-tale sign that a AID outfit was from the newer runs and not this first batch. As befits the artisanal approach of this unit, the outfits were all commmissioned from New Peru and sewn by local artisans from proper synthcotton and lace elements.

Frankly, the logistics and QC on this part of the project was a nightmare for me and the next time someone proposes this kind of thing, I will shoot them down. With a fleet full of CIWSes.

The hair on Analisse units is real human hair, punched into a scalp module follicle by follicle carefully by hand. Similar work with human hair was done on the eyebrows and eyelashes. roughly equal amounts of blonde, brown, redhead and brunette straight hair were sourced for this effort and work done inhouse by the Artistic Branch... this was potentially a major bottleneck and frankly it is a miracle that it wasn't.

of 10397 units ever issued, 10300 units remain fully operational, and are even regularly found going through the MedicalCare programme in Little Sanctuary or equivalent maintenance regimes when operated outside of Little Sanctuary.

===Body Detailing and Fleshing===
To simplify the build, we cut many corners where we felt that it did not impact the quality of the final product much. One corner we cut was using only Caucasian Pale Tri-Phase Silicone as the flesh for the Analisse, which led to accusations of racism. This was something we could have handled better, especially since the unit assigned to Ethan Creed (Unit 00015, known as Nuuna Creed and often seen as his wheelchair assistant and nurse at Funboys House parties) was dark-skinned using Chocolate Black Triphasic Silicone, so clearly we could have added ethnicity to the mix with some extra resources. But we didn't get any complaints from our staff about this issue, mainly. The use of triphasic silicone in a thicker gauge did allow for it to wear much longer than expected, with patch jobs far and few between on the flesh of the Analisse.

The body was sculpted primarily by our long-suffering Chief Artist in Residence, Marcus Manners. As the tech we were using at the time wasn't exactly compact, the brief for the sculpt was "make her a large-caliber bombshell". Result: a voluptuous, high-volumed shape with plenty of room for the less efficient, bulkier components the Analisse uses. These components are also part of what makes this design so reliable and long-lasting - damage takes a lot longer to become a problem to any component, giving the owner more time to locate and replace these parts before they turn into a actual failure.

=== Head Systems ===
Amongst our staff were some former Mel-Eisner engineers, who created the first of many "animatronic head" designs as seen on modern units - while not compatible with the open Mel-Eisner EmoteDef specification, the preloaded motion/reflex data in these first drafts did satisfy most staff as well, even with a limited set of emotes and no variable mixing done. The head also offered high-fidelity vocal reproduction as well as a pathwway for modest amounts of food and water into a then-new digester design that unfortunately did not take well to full meals with drinks. A meal with an Analisse was always a meal with a sparrow of sorts.

===Animatronic Data and Mixing===
Voicework was provided by several then well known actresses. Given the slightly tawdry nature of the project, many of them opted to or were forced by their agencies to credit the work to the anonymous "Annie Dee" and take a fatter paycheck. Privacy clauses prohibit me even now from disclosing the names of these actresses, but they did wonderful jobs on it such that the voice patterns mixed from them has been compared to a god melody. Another reason this project cannot exactly be replicated in this day and age.

Motion was provided in part by performances from the same actresses that provided the voice for this design (aka Annie Dee, the Anonymized), as well as a collaboration with Funboys House of Porn, where we digitized performances from several eras of porn within the Funboys archives for audio, motion, reflex and sequencing routes. As thanks for allowing and blessing the project, Ethan Creed was gifted with Unit 0007, Nuuna Creed, probably one of the only Analisse units not specced as pale Caucasian. The data was unfortunately stored in a format that is now obsolete, and efforts to port it to modern Arendtcore designs have proven problematic.

===Data Strorage and Remixing===
The motion/audio/reflex/sequencing data for Analisse functionality was stored on a fledgling cartridge format that was showing promise at the time, in part because of its incredible hard-wearing and dense data storage properties. The AME-ROM microdisc format promised a 10 millennium lifespan for both its drives and its discs, and the Analisse uses a unique double-sized, double-sided variant of this format to store 15000 words and discrete syllables, plus 80 hours of different motions and reflex actions.

This combination was mixed by a Parelt-Ehsen G45 animatronics controller chipset and piped to 800 servo units spread across the design. While the lifespan possibility of AME-ROM seems exaggerated, the fact is that we have yet to see a single one of these personality discs or drives ever wear out after over a century, and it has seen limited use elsewhere in its original definitions as a long term proven archival format. AME-ROM is unfortunately much slower than modern semivolatiles, prompting some to consider Analisse units as lower-intellect.

This is a mistake. They are smart - they just take longer to form the words and take the actions that their logic circuits require due to the slower access times of AME-ROM.

Vocal mixing of syllables into owner names and other custom phrases is provided by a Jenuwhine Pandragon K35 chipset. In selected units that were going to be assigned to staff with clear musical bents, this was replaced with a modulatable version. It was a mistake, as Seamus Arendt notes..

<big><big>"</big></big>''Seamus Arendt-''
The modulator on the musically enabled version of the K35 was meant to be locked into place when not being affected by wireless MIDI signals from a registered open-compatible music controller, but the damned thing kept popping in and affecting normal speech. This led to Analisse units given this modified chipset a certain randomized sing-song effect to their words. The people these were intended for were all delighted and never demanded a patch or fix. But I'm going to call it what it is - a small mistake in implementation that I made to a chipset that was working already fine for its main purposes. I'm honest enough to admit I'm a screwball when I'm one...
<big><big>"</big></big>

===Visual/Audio Sensors, Main Control Panel===
The visual and audio sensors, as well as main control panel were provided by Ban-Teki Tokyo Corp.

The audio sensors are essentially high-gain and capable of picking up very quiet whispers, yet capable of coping with loud noises of up to 200 decibels for short periods of time, within a range of 20 feet. The visual sensort are capable of normal wavelength sight at ranges between 2 and 100 feet, and are housed in a eyeball-like structure that includes see-through doll-eye iris elements that can be configured at initial boot to have one of 16.7million colors.

The main control panel is mainly analogue switches and buttons and gauges for power reserve measures and processor loads, with the only digital item being a 40x96 mint green character display for short log messages and errors. This is backed by a unifiying chipset that collates all the required logs and readouts as well as issues commands from the buttons and switches. This approach is no longer in use on modern Arendtcore designs, but enthusiasts of the Analisse design say it is somehow more... human. Personally, I think it's archaic, but I'm a legalist, not a doll designer, okay?

=== Bodily Touch/Heat Sensors===
touch/heat sensoring is provided all over the body by sensnor assemblies merged into the triphasic silicone inhouse. Again, an approach no longer used. This results in a relatively bulky and hard to maintain external covering, but also warms it up slightly, allowing a sort of 'natural warmth' effect that many staffers issued this unit type praised.

=== Sexual Functioning (Vaginal) ===
As with many Arendtcore designs to come, the Analisse has a working non-reproductive vaginal module. This module is easily removable for servicing, and is powered by an array of microservo/bump sensor arrays linked to a CodyTech N35 sexual response chipset as used in many modern Funboys sex toys for detecting vaginal input, pushing out open-compatible vaginal lubricant solutions, and providing responsive motion to said inputs. While clunky, this makes the Analisse very resilient to sexual overloading as similar approaches are used on other hotspots of sexual activity and response to buffer and handle sexual reflexes while minimizing added loads to the animatronic controllers.

== Cultural Impact ==
While the Analisse was a in-house project primarily issued within Little Sanctuary to only Arendtcore employees, a few did make it out into the rest of the world. These few units had an oversized impact relative to their very rare numberings.

''EDITOR NOTE: Most of the subsections in these are cribbed whole sale from a internal video "Analisse Project" released for Arendtcore's 50th birthday. Copies of it are available in NSFW and SFW editions from the Little Library in Arendtcore Minnesota-area libraries. If outside this area, please request and wait at least two months for a copy from your local librarian.

===Twinergy===
The pop duo Twinergy were known childhood acquaintances of the Arendt brothers: Theodorus and Alpha Fenris. Naturally, when it came to handing out the Analisse units, the Fenris brothers scored one with a modulatable K35 vocal mixer chipset.

THEODORUS FENRIS: Well, when we unboxed that gift from the Arendts, she was all dowdy and chonkers. We named her Stella Fenris, and the temptation to turn our band into a trio with her in the back was always there. We ran a few notes into her with the wireless MIDI while she was singing, and it was...

ALPHA FENRIS: Magical. Yes. That was the right word. like a Goddess from on high. We used that effect on "She was made for making me fall in love", and what was supposed to be a potboiler single on a staid album become a sudden wicked hit...

Sadly, this also proved to be one of the times that a Analisse unit was destroyed irreversibly. Tensions frayed and ownership over Stella became a sore point between the Fenris brothers, threatening to derail their newfound popularity. It came to a head with the destruction of the unit by the brothers using various implements, an act documented on the video for the song released a few weeks later.

THEODORUS: When you hear the song she sings as we break her apart, what we actually heard on set was her repeatedly saying the same three words... "I Forgive you." in that gentle singsong manner she always had when we weren't using her as a musical instrument.

ALPHA: .... That's what she kept saying... I regret we ever destroyed our muse.

THEODORUS: Cursed for the rest of our careers with no more hits. That's what happened. She had this voice that we couldn't get even from a nice girl on a vocooder.

ALPHA: you can imagine what Seamus said when he saw the video release...

-abrupt cut to SEAMUS ARENDT, looking both saddened and pissed off-

SEAMUS ARENDT: 'You two are fucking imbeciles. This unit is irreversibly destroyed, and I'm not going to stretch my ass again getting you a new unit. Live with your stupidity for the rest of your life... dumb c--ts... This is NOT how you treat the gifts others give you, not now, not ever. Let the price of it be high for those dunheads.

The price was indeed high. As Theodorus Fenris noted later, they never had another hit single for the next twenty years till they retired.

===Jericho Escher===
Another Analisse was given to a most unexpected recepient: Jericho Escher, President of New Peru and former leader of the Peru Resistance Partisans insurgent front.

JERICHO ESCHER: This Seamus crazy and me, we once had a little fight blow up around us. Government folks. He could have just walked the hell out, instead he starts slugging them and yelling at me like a maniac about how 'he had my back'... you Americans and your Americanisms. One year later, he sends this big box labelled "Sumaq señora" (Beautiful Woman in Quechua) for out of nowhere for me. I open it up and inside the wrapping was indeed the most beautiful Sumaq señora I had ever seen indeed. Maybe a little plumper than my usual tastes... So naturally, being the utter Joder Idiota Tonto (utter fucking idiot, Quechua) I am, I accidentally named her "Plastica" because I called her a plastic whore while setting her up. She didn't seem to have any issues with me calling her that, but I couldn't change her name after. '''laughter from Jericho'''

SEAMUS: Oh god, this is one of the most fucking stupid user stories I remember, really. There was a reset code for that in the manual, and the damn idiot, for forty years, from that day, all the way through his blessed presidency, to his death... he never CHANGED her name. I suspect he actually grew to like it, really.

JERICHO: In victories, I held her in my hideout and kissed her deeply and made tender love to her. In defeat, she soothed me and distracted me the same way. She always waited up for me. This one time, I was cut off from my team for three months. When I got home, there was a warm meal on the table and her loving arms. I asked what she had been doing while waiting for me to come back. and they say "the same thing. Every night, she makes your favorite Pollo a La Brasa and Ceviche (roast chicken dish), then waits for you by the front door till midnight before asking us not to let it go to waste. And I'm sorry, Hatun Umalliq (Supreme Leader, Quecha), but all the good flavor you say is in the dish? I swear it is your hallucinations because you love her so much." I never let her cook again when I wasn't around to eat it after that. '''laughter from Jericho'''

Jericho Escher served for eight years as President of New Peru after the overthrow of the junta, and Plastica Escher became his vice president and first lady of New Peru, publishing a critically acclaimed cookbook for charity with pictures of very beautiful (and terrible tasting) Peruvian dishes. After serving two terms, he retired quietly, enjoying the company of his Analisse. Upon his death, the unit mourned him for a year before returning to Little Sanctuary for recycling or reassignment. For privacy reasons, the Company cannot disclose the eventual path she went upon after her return to us.

SEAMUS: in my hurry to batch out the triphasic silicone flesh for the Analisse units, I'd accidentally mixed up the numbers for one unit's worth. What was supposed to be Caucasian beige became this slightly chocolatey black complexion.

Anyways...

== Introduction to the Anlisse Project==
In the 2040s, we began to branch into human-like androids. We also began to start building up the very first boroughs of what could be called the Original Districts of what would become Little Sanctuary (Districts 1-40). It was a trying time for all concerned, juggling the creation of a new MNC as well as a new home in the previously wilder, unmanaged spaces of Minnesota.

As part of our own "Eat Your Own Dogfood" efforts, we supplied our first waves of employees/homeowners with Spousal Units for the new Housing Programme and Family Programme. These were limited-edition, heavily artisanal units right down to the bolts and wiring, and while that should have led to disaster, the fact is that they turned out to be one of our most ridiculously resilient designs.

Seamus really thinks sometimes we should build these again, but I have to advise him again and again that the process that made these wonderful machines sadly did not scale well at all. Let's have a look at one of these units we inadvertently never gave out and keep in storage for historical interest....

We commissioned and built 10397 units of the Analisse design. These were handed out primarily to our male staff who joined us at such a risky early stage as a sort of reward and anchor to tie them down to the land and Company, though select units were handed out to some famous personalities such as Ethan Creed of the Funboys House Of Porn, Jericho Escher of the Peru Resistance Partisans, and The pop duo Twinergy (as seen on their infamous music video "She Was Made For Making Me Fall In Love"), amongst others.

== Analisse 4633:Never Used, Never Initialized ==
[[File:Analisse Front Dressed Assembled.png|thumb|"Photo" of Analisse, in dress as originally provided, fully assembled]]

The unit seen here is Unit 4633, which was intended for an accountant who sadly perished while trying to make his way here from Florida. We never did reassign this unit for some reason not documented. The proof of unit identity can be found hardcoded into the unit identifier, on a chip somewhere within the unit that apparently does nothing, as well as sewn into the Alice-In-Wonderland style outfit as seen here, somewhere under the collar of the shirt, and on the left thigh flesh as a faint tatto (this tattoo sadly wears out with prolonged operation - not a reliable indicator, really)

The Alice-In-Wonderland dress outfit consisted of a small apron in white and blue long dress, plus thigh high stockings and patent leather shoes. As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, some newer design units were released with a similar dress outfit as a limited time option, and these remain a collector's item second in value only to the actual originals. The lack of the Unit number under the collar is a tell-tale sign that a AID outfit was from the newer runs and not this first batch. As befits the artisanal approach of this unit, the outfits were all commmissioned from New Peru and sewn by local artisans from proper synthcotton and lace elements.

Frankly, the logistics and QC on this part of the project was a nightmare for me and the next time someone proposes this kind of thing, I will shoot them down. With a fleet full of CIWSes.

The hair on Analisse units is real human hair, punched into a scalp module follicle by follicle carefully by hand. Similar work with human hair was done on the eyebrows and eyelashes. roughly equal amounts of blonde, brown, redhead and brunette straight hair were sourced for this effort and work done inhouse by the Artistic Branch... this was potentially a major bottleneck and frankly it is a miracle that it wasn't.

of 10397 units ever issued, 10300 units remain fully operational, and are even regularly found going through the MedicalCare programme in Little Sanctuary or equivalent maintenance regimes when operated outside of Little Sanctuary.

== Internal Unit Details ==

[[File:Analisse Front Naked Assembled.png|thumb|"Photo" of Analisse unit unclothed, fully assembled]]
===Body Detailing and Fleshing===
To simplify the build, we cut many corners where we felt that it did not impact the quality of the final product much. One corner we cut was using only Caucasian Pale Tri-Phase Silicone as the flesh for the Analisse, which led to accusations of racism. This was something we could have handled better, especially since the unit assigned to Ethan Creed (Unit 00015, known as Nuuna Creed and often seen as his wheelchair assistant and nurse at Funboys House parties) was dark-skinned using Chocolate Black Triphasic Silicone, so clearly we could have added ethnicity to the mix with some extra resources. But we didn't get any complaints from our staff about this issue, mainly. The use of triphasic silicone in a thicker gauge did allow for it to wear much longer than expected, with patch jobs far and few between on the flesh of the Analisse.

The body was sculpted primarily by our long-suffering Chief Artist in Residence, Marcus Manners. As the tech we were using at the time wasn't exactly compact, the brief for the sculpt was "make her a large-caliber bombshell". Result: a voluptuous, high-volumed shape with plenty of room for the less efficient, bulkier components the Analisse uses. These components are also part of what makes this design so reliable and long-lasting - damage takes a lot longer to become a problem to any component, giving the owner more time to locate and replace these parts before they turn into a actual failure.

=== Head Systems ===
Amongst our staff were some former Mel-Eisner engineers, who created the first of many "animatronic head" designs as seen on modern units - while not compatible with the open Mel-Eisner EmoteDef specification, the preloaded motion/reflex data in these first drafts did satisfy most staff as well, even with a limited set of emotes and no variable mixing done. The head also offered high-fidelity vocal reproduction as well as a pathwway for modest amounts of food and water into a then-new digester design that unfortunately did not take well to full meals with drinks. A meal with an Analisse was always a meal with a sparrow of sorts.

===Animatronic Data and Mixing===
Voicework was provided by several then well known actresses. Given the slightly tawdry nature of the project, many of them opted to or were forced by their agencies to credit the work to the anonymous "Annie Dee" and take a fatter paycheck. Privacy clauses prohibit me even now from disclosing the names of these actresses, but they did wonderful jobs on it such that the voice patterns mixed from them has been compared to a god melody. Another reason this project cannot exactly be replicated in this day and age.

Motion was provided in part by performances from the same actresses that provided the voice for this design (aka Annie Dee, the Anonymized), as well as a collaboration with Funboys House of Porn, where we digitized performances from several eras of porn within the Funboys archives for audio, motion, reflex and sequencing routes. As thanks for allowing and blessing the project, Ethan Creed was gifted with Unit 0007, Nuuna Creed, probably one of the only Analisse units not specced as pale Caucasian. The data was unfortunately stored in a format that is now obsolete, and efforts to port it to modern Arendtcore designs have proven problematic.

===Data Strorage and Remixing===
The motion/audio/reflex/sequencing data for Analisse functionality was stored on a fledgling cartridge format that was showing promise at the time, in part because of its incredible hard-wearing and dense data storage properties. The AME-ROM microdisc format promised a 10 millennium lifespan for both its drives and its discs, and the Analisse uses a unique double-sized, double-sided variant of this format to store 15000 words and discrete syllables, plus 80 hours of different motions and reflex actions.

This combination was mixed by a Parelt-Ehsen G45 animatronics controller chipset and piped to 800 servo units spread across the design. While the lifespan possibility of AME-ROM seems exaggerated, the fact is that we have yet to see a single one of these personality discs or drives ever wear out after over a century, and it has seen limited use elsewhere in its original definitions as a long term proven archival format. AME-ROM is unfortunately much slower than modern semivolatiles, prompting some to consider Analisse units as lower-intellect.

This is a mistake. They are smart - they just take longer to form the words and take the actions that their logic circuits require due to the slower access times of AME-ROM.

Vocal mixing of syllables into owner names and other custom phrases is provided by a Jenuwhine Pandragon K35 chipset. In selected units that were going to be assigned to staff with clear musical bents, this was replaced with a modulatable version. It was a mistake, as Seamus Arendt notes..

<big><big>"</big></big>''Seamus Arendt-''
The modulator on the musically enabled version of the K35 was meant to be locked into place when not being affected by wireless MIDI signals from a registered open-compatible music controller, but the damned thing kept popping in and affecting normal speech. This led to Analisse units given this modified chipset a certain randomized sing-song effect to their words. The people these were intended for were all delighted and never demanded a patch or fix. But I'm going to call it what it is - a small mistake in implementation that I made to a chipset that was working already fine for its main purposes. I'm honest enough to admit I'm a screwball when I'm one...
<big><big>"</big></big>

===Visual/Audio Sensors, Main Control Panel===
The visual and audio sensors, as well as main control panel were provided by Ban-Teki Tokyo Corp.

The audio sensors are essentially high-gain and capable of picking up very quiet whispers, yet capable of coping with loud noises of up to 200 decibels for short periods of time, within a range of 20 feet. The visual sensort are capable of normal wavelength sight at ranges between 2 and 100 feet, and are housed in a eyeball-like structure that includes see-through doll-eye iris elements that can be configured at initial boot to have one of 16.7million colors.

The main control panel is mainly analogue switches and buttons and gauges for power reserve measures and processor loads, with the only digital item being a 40x96 mint green character display for short log messages and errors. This is backed by a unifiying chipset that collates all the required logs and readouts as well as issues commands from the buttons and switches. This approach is no longer in use on modern Arendtcore designs, but enthusiasts of the Analisse design say it is somehow more... human. Personally, I think it's archaic, but I'm a legalist, not a doll designer, okay?

=== Bodily Touch/Heat Sensors===
touch/heat sensoring is provided all over the body by sensnor assemblies merged into the triphasic silicone inhouse. Again, an approach no longer used. This results in a relatively bulky and hard to maintain external covering, but also warms it up slightly, allowing a sort of 'natural warmth' effect that many staffers issued this unit type praised.

=== Sexual Functioning (Vaginal) ===
As with many Arendtcore designs to come, the Analisse has a working non-reproductive vaginal module. This module is easily removable for servicing, and is powered by an array of microservo/bump sensor arrays linked to a CodyTech N35 sexual response chipset as used in many modern Funboys sex toys for detecting vaginal input, pushing out open-compatible vaginal lubricant solutions, and providing responsive motion to said inputs. While clunky, this makes the Analisse very resilient to sexual overloading as similar approaches are used on other hotspots of sexual activity and response to buffer and handle sexual reflexes while minimizing added loads to the animatronic controllers.

== Cultural Impact ==
While the Analisse was a in-house project primarily issued within Little Sanctuary to only Arendtcore employees, a few did make it out into the rest of the world. These few units had an oversized impact relative to their very rare numberings.

''EDITOR NOTE: Most of the subsections in these are cribbed whole sale from a internal video "Analisse Project" released for Arendtcore's 50th birthday. Copies of it are available in NSFW and SFW editions from the Little Library in Arendtcore Minnesota-area libraries. If outside this area, please request and wait at least two months for a copy from your local librarian.

===Twinergy===
The pop duo Twinergy were known childhood acquaintances of the Arendt brothers: Theodorus and Alpha Fenris. Naturally, when it came to handing out the Analisse units, the Fenris brothers scored one with a modulatable K35 vocal mixer chipset.

THEODORUS FENRIS: Well, when we unboxed that gift from the Arendts, she was all dowdy and chonkers. We named her Stella Fenris, and the temptation to turn our band into a trio with her in the back was always there. We ran a few notes into her with the wireless MIDI while she was singing, and it was...

ALPHA FENRIS: Magical. Yes. That was the right word. like a Goddess from on high. We used that effect on "She was made for making me fall in love", and what was supposed to be a potboiler single on a staid album become a sudden wicked hit...

Sadly, this also proved to be one of the times that a Analisse unit was destroyed irreversibly. Tensions frayed and ownership over Stella became a sore point between the Fenris brothers, threatening to derail their newfound popularity. It came to a head with the destruction of the unit by the brothers using various implements, an act documented on the video for the song released a few weeks later.

THEODORUS: When you hear the song she sings as we break her apart, what we actually heard on set was her repeatedly saying the same three words... "I Forgive you." in that gentle singsong manner she always had when we weren't using her as a musical instrument.

ALPHA: .... That's what she kept saying... I regret we ever destroyed our muse.

THEODORUS: Cursed for the rest of our careers with no more hits. That's what happened. She had this voice that we couldn't get even from a nice girl on a vocooder.

ALPHA: you can imagine what Seamus said when he saw the video release...

-abrupt cut to SEAMUS ARENDT, looking both saddened and pissed off-

SEAMUS ARENDT: 'You two are fucking imbeciles. This unit is irreversibly destroyed, and I'm not going to stretch my ass again getting you a new unit. Live with your stupidity for the rest of your life... dumb c--ts... This is NOT how you treat the gifts others give you, not now, not ever. Let the price of it be high for those dunheads.

The price was indeed high. As Theodorus Fenris noted later, they never had another hit single for the next twenty years till they retired.

===Jericho Escher===
Another Analisse was given to a most unexpected recepient: Jericho Escher, President of New Peru and former leader of the Peru Resistance Partisans insurgent front.

JERICHO ESCHER: This Seamus crazy and me, we once had a little fight blow up around us. Government folks. He could have just walked the hell out, instead he starts slugging them and yelling at me like a maniac about how 'he had my back'... you Americans and your Americanisms. One year later, he sends this big box labelled "Sumaq señora" (Beautiful Woman in Quechua) for out of nowhere for me. I open it up and inside the wrapping was indeed the most beautiful Sumaq señora I had ever seen indeed. Maybe a little plumper than my usual tastes... So naturally, being the utter Joder Idiota Tonto (utter fucking idiot, Quechua) I am, I accidentally named her "Plastica" because I called her a plastic whore while setting her up. She didn't seem to have any issues with me calling her that, but I couldn't change her name after. '''laughter from Jericho'''

SEAMUS: Oh god, this is one of the most fucking stupid user stories I remember, really. There was a reset code for that in the manual, and the damn idiot, for forty years, from that day, all the way through his blessed presidency, to his death... he never CHANGED her name. I suspect he actually grew to like it, really.

JERICHO: In victories, I held her in my hideout and kissed her deeply and made tender love to her. In defeat, she soothed me and distracted me the same way. She always waited up for me. This one time, I was cut off from my team for three months. When I got home, there was a warm meal on the table and her loving arms. I asked what she had been doing while waiting for me to come back. and they say "the same thing. Every night, she makes your favorite Pollo a La Brasa and Ceviche (roast chicken dish), then waits for you by the front door till midnight before asking us not to let it go to waste. And I'm sorry, Hatun Umalliq (Supreme Leader, Quecha), but all the good flavor you say is in the dish? I swear it is your hallucinations because you love her so much." I never let her cook again when I wasn't around to eat it after that. '''laughter from Jericho'''

Jericho Escher served for eight years as President of New Peru after the overthrow of the junta, and Plastica Escher became his vice president and first lady of New Peru, publishing a critically acclaimed cookbook for charity with pictures of very beautiful (and terrible tasting) Peruvian dishes. After serving two terms, he retired quietly, enjoying the company of his Analisse. Upon his death, the unit mourned him for a year before returning to Little Sanctuary for recycling or reassignment. For privacy reasons, the Company cannot disclose the eventual path she went upon after her return to us.

SEAMUS: And she was the first time I'd ever heard of a Analisse unit mourning its owner. Not the last either. I asked Bellamy, "did we ever program these units to pine for their owners or mourn them?"

BELLAMY ARENDT: I looked back at this dunhead and shook my noggin. I was like, "wot? I was never that good at programming AI girlfriends, and I wasn't going to start doing it. Perhaps there was something I'd coded that kicked in on those conditons that came together to form such a behavior, but I don't think I could deliberately replicate it. It was beautiful though...

SEAMUS: Yeah... I hope we reassigned her. These Analisse units were all beauties. would be a shame to scrap one if it wasn't fatally damaged.

===Ethan Creed===
Another rare outsider who gained access to a Analisse unit was Ethan Creed.

ETHAN CREED: These kids from some brand new company called and said they was interested in the Funboys catalog. We asked which shows, they said "ALL OF IT". Turns out it wasn't just for watching.

Arendtcore asked to collaborate with Funboys catalog in digitizing their catalog for future media. As part of the deal, they were permitted to analyze every single frame of footage from the eight decade history of the company, spanning a wide range of classic actors and actresses from Don Decock and Valia Vajinni to more recent favorites such as Julie Ambervale and Charlie Horse Leg-3. A corpus of data was generated of motion, audio, reflex, and sequencing pathing data, which was shared with Funboys for their future projects. On full payment for the video conversion part of the project, Ethan was promised something.

ETHAN: So I look at these giant hard disks full of petabytes of examinations of how everyone in our stable moved or were moving. It was already nice of them. Then this Seamus kid, he goes "Actually I may also have something else for you in a couple of weeks." Like hell I was waiting. I went right back to caring for my girls and guys at the House of Funboys like I always have for the past few decades.

-Smashcut to SEAMUS and BELLAMY-
SEAMUS: in my hurry to batch out the triphasic silicone flesh for the Analisse units, I'd accidentally mixed up the numbers for one unit's worth. What was supposed to be Caucasian beige became this slightly chocolatey black complexion.

BELLAMY: Did we ever replicate that shade ever again?

SEAMUS: We did... turns out it was potentially as strong as TNT as a plastic explosive.

BELLAMY: *grabs SEAMUS by the collar* YOU INSANE LUNATIC. You could have led with it back then!

SEAMUS: I didn't want the evidence lying around, we weren't going into military work. so I laid it out onto one unit and palmed it off on a random guy with a prayer.

-smashcut back to ETHAN CREED-
ETHAN CREED: turns out it was this black chick in an Alice in Wonderland Dress. I ask him "wow, blaxploitation proposal?" He says, it's a gift to me, thanks for letting us use something we could never have gotten our hands on if we had to pay you. I'd been suckered really, but I let it go... She looked like a fine piece of thick ass, you know what I'm saying? Brother's gotta acknowledge brother when they give a great gift, ya?

The unit was christened "Nuuna" by Ethan Creed himself. The man had suffered a severe impairment from a polio superstrain that didn't respond to the vaccine, losing the use of everything beneath the waist, requiring a wheelchair for most of his life. That hadn't stopped his wheeling and dealing to build up Funboys.

What Nuuna offered Creed was special.

ETHAN: so this Nuuna girl, after a few days, she starts grabbing my wheelchair and wheeling me whereever I want. I tell her I can move around on my own. She looks at me and calmly says "I was placed here to please you and service you in any way you desire." I forced the issue and let's just say... she really did that. She'd help me around during the parties at my House, then when everything had quietened down and folks were sleeping, she made sure I had a good clean, fresh clothes, a comfy bed, and yeah, she'd roll in herself and make sure it was EXTREMELY comfy. Girl had a voice like an angel, hands like the devil. At one point I swear I actually looked down and saw what a mess I'd made. "It's still alive, you just can't feel it." She'd said.

Nuuna would remain a quiet and loyal confidante to ETHAN for the next two decades till his passing, before making the same return pilgrimage to Little Sanctuary as so many external units would if possible. She had declined a role on a farewell porn flick dedicated to Ethan, saying

NUUNA: I was placed here merely to serve and comfort ETHAN. He is gone. There is no reason for me to be dropping my panties for a porn show when I've never done it for Ethan for two decades. Now would you let me past so I can board my slowliner home?

-smashcut to SEAMUS and BELLAMY-

SEAMUS: This home-return instinct in Analisses we send out into the world, is it really that common?

BELLAMY: Unless they're incapacitated or destroyed, 100%. And before you ask, no, I programmed no such thing, it's some sort of emergent behavior in their code. Code that I wrote in a hurry for this project.

SEAMUS: We should hurry you on coding projects more. It seems to lead to nice things.

BELLAMY: Oh, give me a fucking break, bro! I want my work life balance!

= The Analisse Project =
An ancient artefact with potential lessons for future Arendtcore design
'''By Aymee Ichigo'''

Well, I drew the short straw. so here goes with what I remember, even though this isn't really my forte in the company. I mean, I'm a Legalist, not a Historian, dammit!

Anyways...

== Introduction to the Anlisse Project==
In the 2040s, we began to branch into human-like androids. We also began to start building up the very first boroughs of what could be called the Original Districts of what would become Little Sanctuary (Districts 1-40). It was a trying time for all concerned, juggling the creation of a new MNC as well as a new home in the previously wilder, unmanaged spaces of Minnesota.

As part of our own "Eat Your Own Dogfood" efforts, we supplied our first waves of employees/homeowners with Spousal Units for the new Housing Programme and Family Programme. These were limited-edition, heavily artisanal units right down to the bolts and wiring, and while that should have led to disaster, the fact is that they turned out to be one of our most ridiculously resilient designs.

Seamus really thinks sometimes we should build these again, but I have to advise him again and again that the process that made these wonderful machines sadly did not scale well at all. Let's have a look at one of these units we inadvertently never gave out and keep in storage for historical interest....

We commissioned and built 10397 units of the Analisse design. These were handed out primarily to our male staff who joined us at such a risky early stage as a sort of reward and anchor to tie them down to the land and Company, though select units were handed out to some famous personalities such as Ethan Creed of the Funboys House Of Porn, Jericho Escher of the Peru Resistance Partisans, and The pop duo Twinergy (as seen on their infamous music video "She Was Made For Making Me Fall In Love"), amongst others.

Motion was provided in part by performances from the same actresses that provided the voice for this design (aka Annie Dee, the Anonymized), as well as a collaboration with Funboys House of Porn, where we digitized performances from several eras of porn within the Funboys archives for audio, motion, reflex and sequencing routes.

The visual sensort are capable of normal wavelength sight at ranges between 2 and 100 feet, and are housed in a eyeball-like structure that includes see-through doll-eye iris elements that can be configured at initial boot to have one of 16.7million colors.

The main control panel is mainly analogue switches and buttons and gauges for power reserve measures and processor loads, with the only digital item being a 40x96 mint green character display for short log messages and errors. This is backed by a unifiying chipset that collates all the required logs and readouts as well as issues commands from the buttons and switches.

While clunky, this makes the Analisse very resilient to sexual overloading as similar approaches are used on other hotspots of sexual activity and response to buffer and handle sexual reflexes while minimizing added loads to the animatronic controllers.

== Cultural Impact ==
While the Analisse was a in-house project primarily issued within Little Sanctuary to only Arendtcore employees, a few did make it out into the rest of the world. These few units had an oversized impact relative to their very rare numberings.

===Twinergy===
The pop duo Twinergy were known childhood acquaintances of the Arendt brothers: Theodorus and Alpha Fenris. Naturally, when it came to handing out the Analisse units, the Fenris brothers scored one with a modulatable K35 vocal mixer chipset.

THEODORUS FENRIS: Well, when we unboxed that gift from the Arendts, she was all dowdy and chonkers. We named her Stella Fenris, and the temptation to turn our band into a trio with her in the back was always there. We ran a few notes into her with the wireless MIDI while she was singing, and it was...

ALPHA FENRIS: Magical. Yes. That was the right word. like a Goddess from on high. We used that effect on "She was made for making me fall in love", and what was supposed to be a potboiler single on a staid album become a sudden wicked hit...

Sadly, this also proved to be one of the times that a Analisse unit was destroyed irreversibly. Tensions frayed and ownership over Stella became a sore point between the Fenris brothers, threatening to derail their newfound popularity. It came to a head with the destruction of the unit by the brothers using various implements, an act documented on the video for the song released a few weeks later.

THEODORUS: When you hear the song she sings as we break her apart, what we actually heard on set was her repeatedly saying the same three words... "I Forgive you." in that gentle singsong manner she always had when we weren't using her as a musical instrument.

ALPHA: .... That's what she kept saying... I regret we ever destroyed our muse.

THEODORUS: Cursed for the rest of our careers with no more hits. That's what happened. She had this voice that we couldn't get even from a nice girl on a vocooder.

ALPHA: you can imagine what Seamus said when he saw the video release...

-abrupt cut to SEAMUS ARENDT, looking both saddened and pissed off-

SEAMUS ARENDT: 'You two are fucking imbeciles. This unit is irreversibly destroyed, and I'm not going to stretch my ass again getting you a new unit. Live with your stupidity for the rest of your life... dumb c--ts... This is NOT how you treat the gifts others give you, not now, not ever. Let the price of it be high for those dunheads.

The price was indeed high. As Theodorus Fenris noted later, they never had another hit single for the next twenty years till they retired.

===Jericho Escher===
Another Analisse was given to a most unexpected recepient: Jericho Escher, President of New Peru and former leader of the Peru Resistance Partisans insurgent front.

JERICHO ESCHER: This Seamus crazy and me, we once had a little fight blow up around us. Government folks. He could have just walked the hell out, instead he starts slugging them and yelling at me like a maniac about how 'he had my back'... you Americans and your Americanisms. One year later, he sends this big box labelled "Sumaq señora" (Beautiful Woman in Quechua) for out of nowhere for me. I open it up and inside the wrapping was indeed the most beautiful Sumaq señora I had ever seen indeed. Maybe a little plumper than my usual tastes... So naturally, being the utter Joder Idiota Tonto (utter fucking idiot, Quechua) I am, I accidentally named her "Plastica" because I called her a plastic whore while setting her up. She didn't seem to have any issues with me calling her that, but I couldn't change her name after. '''laughter from Jericho'''

SEAMUS: Oh god, this is one of the most fucking stupid user stories I remember, really. There was a reset code for that in the manual, and the damn idiot, for forty years, from that day, all the way through his blessed presidency, to his death... he never CHANGED her name. I suspect he actually grew to like it, really.

JERICHO: In victories, I held her in my hideout and kissed her deeply and made tender love to her. In defeat, she soothed me and distracted me the same way. She always waited up for me. This one time, I was cut off from my team for three months. When I got home, there was a warm meal on the table and her loving arms. I asked what she had been doing while waiting for me to come back. and they say "the same thing. Every night, she makes your favorite Pollo a La Brasa and Ceviche (roast chicken dish), then waits for you by the front door till midnight before asking us not to let it go to waste. And I'm sorry, Hatun Umalliq (Supreme Leader, Quecha), but all the good flavor you say is in the dish? I swear it is your hallucinations because you love her so much." I never let her cook again when I wasn't around to eat it after that. '''laughter from Jericho'''

Jericho Escher served for eight years as President of New Peru after the overthrow of the junta, and Plastica Escher became his vice president and first lady of New Peru, publishing a critically acclaimed cookbook for charity with pictures of very beautiful (and terrible tasting) Peruvian dishes. After serving two terms, he retired quietly, enjoying the company of his Analisse. Upon his death, the unit mourned him for a year before returning to Little Sanctuary for recycling or reassignment. For privacy reasons, the Company cannot disclose the eventual path she went upon after her return to us.

SEAMUS: And she was the first time I'd ever heard of a Analisse unit mourning its owner. Not the last either. I asked Bellamy, "did we ever program these units to pine for their owners or mourn them?"

BELLAMY ARENDT: I looked back at this dunhead and shook my noggin. I was like, "wot? I was never that good at programming AI girlfriends, and I wasn't going to start doing it. Perhaps there was something I'd coded that kicked in on those conditons that came together to form such a behavior, but I don't think I could deliberately replicate it. It was beautiful though...

= Historical Artefact: Arendtcore Analisse (2040) - Uninitialized =
By Aymee Ichigo

Well, I drew the short straw. so here goes with what I remember, even though this isn't really my forte in the company. I mean, I'm a Legalist, not a Historian, dammit!

Anyways...

== Introduction to the Anlisse Project==
In the 2040s, we began to branch into human-like androids. We also began to start building up the very first boroughs of what could be called the Original Districts of what would become Little Sanctuary (Districts 1-40). It was a trying time for all concerned, juggling the creation of a new MNC as well as a new home in the previously wilder, unmanaged spaces of Minnesota.

As part of our own "Eat Your Own Dogfood" efforts, we supplied our first waves of employees/homeowners with Spousal Units for the new Housing Programme and Family Programme. These were limited-edition, heavily artisanal units right down to the bolts and wiring, and while that should have led to disaster, the fact is that they turned out to be one of our most ridiculously resilient designs.

Seamus really thinks sometimes we should build these again, but I have to advise him again and again that the process that made these wonderful machines sadly did not scale well at all. Let's have a look at one of these units we inadvertently never gave out and keep in storage for historical interest....

We commissioned and built 10397 units of the Analisse design. These were handed out primarily to our male staff who joined us at such a risky early stage as a sort of reward and anchor to tie them down to the land and Company, though select units were handed out to some famous personalities such as Ethan Creed of the Funboys House Of Porn, Jericho Escher of the Peru Resistance Partisans, and The pop duo Twinergy (as seen on their infamous music video "She Was Made For Making Me Fall In Love"), amongst others.

== Analisse 4633:Never Used, Never Initialized ==
[[File:Analisse Front Dressed Assembled.png|thumb|"Photo" of Analisse, in dress as originally provided, fully assembled]]

The unit seen here is Unit 4633, which was intended for an accountant who sadly perished while trying to make his way here from Florida. We never did reassign this unit for some reason not documented. The proof of unit identity can be found hardcoded into the unit identifier, on a chip somewhere within the unit that apparently does nothing, as well as sewn into the Alice-In-Wonderland style outfit as seen here, somewhere under the collar of the shirt, and on the left thigh flesh as a faint tatto (this tattoo sadly wears out with prolonged operation - not a reliable indicator, really)

The Alice-In-Wonderland dress consisted of a small apron in white and blue long dress, plus thigh high stockings and patent leather shoes. As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, some newer design units were released with a similar dress outfit as a limited time option, and these remain a collector's item second in value only to the actual originals. The lack of the Unit number under the collar is a tell-tale sign that a AID outfit was from the newer runs and not this first batch. As befits the artisanal approach of this unit, the outfits were all commmissioned from New Peru and sewn by local artisans from proper synthcotton and lace elements.

Frankly, the logistics and QC on this part of the project was a nightmare for me and the next time someone proposes this kind of thing, I will shoot them down. With a fleet full of CIWSes.

Voicework was provided by several then well known actresses. Given the slightly tawdry nature of the project, many of them opted to or were forced by their agencies to credit the work to the anonymous "Annie Dee" and take a fatter paycheck. Privacy clauses prohibit me even now from disclosing the names of these actresses, but they did wonderful jobs on it such that the voice patterns mixed from them has been compared to a god melody. Another reason this project cannot exactly be replicated in this day and age.

The hair on Analisse units is real human hair, punched into a scalp module follicle by follicle carefully by hand. Similar work with human hair was done on the eyebrows and eyelashes. roughly equal amounts of blonde, brown, redhead and brunette straight hair were sourced for this effort and work done inhouse by the Artistic Branch... this was potentially a major bottleneck and frankly it is a miracle that it wasn't.

of 10397 units ever issued, 10300 units remain fully operational, and are even regularly found going through the MedicalCare programme in Little Sanctuary or equivalent maintenance regimes when operated outside of Little Sanctuary.

===Body Detailing and Fleshing===
To simplify the build, we cut many corners where we felt that it did not impact the quality of the final product much. One corner we cut was using only Caucasian Pale Tri-Phase Silicone as the flesh for the Analisse, which led to accusations of racism. This was something we could have handled better, especially since the unit assigned to Ethan Creed (Unit 00015, known as Nuuna Creed and often seen as his wheelchair assistant and nurse at Funboys House parties) was dark-skinned using Chocolate Black Triphasic Silicone, so clearly we could have added ethnicity to the mix with some extra resources. But we didn't get any complaints from our staff about this issue, mainly. The use of triphasic silicone in a thicker gauge did allow for it to wear much longer than expected, with patch jobs far and few between on the flesh of the Analisse.

The body was sculpted primarily by our long-suffering Chief Artist in Residence, Marcus Manners. As the tech we were using at the time wasn't exactly compact, the brief for the sculpt was "make her a large-caliber bombshell". Result: a voluptuous, high-volumed shape with plenty of room for the less efficient, bulkier components the Analisse uses. These components are also part of what makes this design so reliable and long-lasting - damage takes a lot longer to become a problem to any component, giving the owner more time to locate and replace these parts before they turn into a actual failure.

== Head Systems ==
Amongst our staff were some former Mel-Eisner engineers, who created the first of many "animatronic head" designs as seen on modern units - while not compatible with the open Mel-Eisner EmoteDef specification, the preloaded motion/reflex data in these first drafts did satisfy most staff as well, even with a limited set of emotes and no variable mixing done. The head also offered high-fidelity vocal reproduction as well as a pathwway for modest amounts of food and water into a then-new digester design that unfortunately did not take well to full meals with drinks. A meal with an Analisse was always a meal with a sparrow of sorts.

==Motion Data and Mixing==
Motion was provided in part by performances from the same actresses that provided the voice for this design (aka Annie Dee, the Anonymized), as well as a collaboration with Funboys House of Porn, where we digitized performances from several eras of porn within the Funboys archives for audio, motion, reflex and sequencing routes. As thanks for allowing and blessing the project, Ethan Creed was gifted with Unit 0007, Nuuna Creed, probably one of the only Analisse units not specced as pale Caucasian. The data was unfortunately stored in a format that is now obsolete, and efforts to port it to modern Arendtcore designs have proven problematic.

The motion/audio/reflex/sequencing data for Analisse functionality was stored on a fledgling cartridge format that was showing promise at the time, in part because of its incredible hard-wearing and dense data storage properties. The AME-ROM microdisc format promised a 10 millennium lifespan for both its drives and its discs, and the Analisse uses a unique double-sized, double-sided variant of this format to store 15000 words and discrete syllables, plus 80 hours of different motions and reflex actions.

This combination was mixed by a Parelt-Ehsen G45 animatronics controller chipset and piped to 800 servo units spread across the design. While the lifespan possibility of AME-ROM seems exaggerated, the fact is that we have yet to see a single one of these personality discs or drives ever wear out after over a century, and it has seen limited use elsewhere in its original definitions as a long term proven archival format. AME-ROM is unfortunately much slower than modern semivolatiles, prompting some to consider Analisse units as lower-intellect.

This is a mistake. They are smart - they just take longer to form the words and take the actions that their logic circuits require due to the slower access times of AME-ROM.

Vocal mixing of syllables into owner names and other custom phrases is provided by a Jenuwhine Pandragon K35 chipset. In selected units that were going to be assigned to staff with clear musical bents, this was replaced with a modulatable version. It was a mistake, as Seamus Arendt notes..

<big><big>"</big></big>''Seamus Arendt-''
The modulator on the musically enabled version of the K35 was meant to be locked into place when not being affected by wireless MIDI signals from a registered open-compatible music controller, but the damned thing kept popping in and affecting normal speech. This led to Analisse units given this modified chipset a certain randomized sing-song effect to their words. The people these were intended for were all delighted and never demanded a patch or fix. But I'm going to call it what it is - a small mistake in implementation that I made to a chipset that was working already fine for its main purposes. I'm honest enough to admit I'm a screwball when I'm one...
<big><big>"</big></big>

===Visual/Audio Sensors, Main Control Panel===
The visual and audio sensors, as well as main control panel were provided by Ban-Teki Tokyo Corp.

The audio sensors are essentially high-gain and capable of picking up very quiet whispers, yet capable of coping with loud noises of up to 200 decibels for short periods of time, within a range of 20 feet. The visual sensort are capable of normal wavelength sight at ranges between 2 and 100 feet, and are housed in a eyeball-like structure that includes see-through doll-eye iris elements that can be configured at initial boot to have one of 16.7million colors.

The main control panel is mainly analogue switches and buttons and gauges for power reserve measures and processor loads, with the only digital item being a 40x96 mint green character display for short log messages and errors. This is backed by a unifiying chipset that collates all the required logs and readouts as well as issues commands from the buttons and switches. This approach is no longer in use on modern Arendtcore designs, but enthusiasts of the Analisse design say it is somehow more... human. Personally, I think it's archaic, but I'm a legalist, not a doll designer, okay?

touch/heat sensoring is provided all over the body by sensnor assemblies merged into the triphasic silicone inhouse. Again, an approach no longer used. This results in a relatively bulky and hard to maintain external covering, but also warms it up slightly, allowing a sort of 'natural warmth' effect that many staffers issued this unit type praised.

As with many Arendtcore designs to come, the Analisse has a working non-reproductive vaginal module. This module is easily removable for servicing, and is powered by an array of microservo/bump sensor arrays linked to a CodyTech N35 sexual response chipset as used in many modern Funboys sex toys for detecting vaginal input, pushing out open-compatible vaginal lubricant solutions, and providing responsive motion to said inputs. While clunky, this makes the Analisse very resilient to sexual overloading as similar approaches are used on other hotspots of sexual activity and response to buffer and handle sexual reflexes while minimizing added loads to the animatronic controllers.

== Cultural Impact ==
While the Analisse was a in-house project primarily issued within Little Sanctuary to only Arendtcore employees, a few did make it out into the rest of the world. These few units had an oversized impact relative to their very rare numberings.

===Twinergy===
The pop duo Twinergy were known childhood acquaintances of the Arendt brothers: Theodorus and Alpha Fenris. Naturally, when it came to handing out the Analisse units, the Fenris brothers scored one with a modulatable K35 vocal mixer chipset.

THEODORUS FENRIS: Well, when we unboxed that gift from the Arendts, she was all dowdy and chonkers. We named her Stella Fenris, and the temptation to turn our band into a trio with her in the back was always there. We ran a few notes into her with the wireless MIDI while she was singing, and it was...

ALPHA FENRIS: Magical. Yes. That was the right word. like a Goddess from on high. We used that effect on "She was made for making me fall in love", and what was supposed to be a potboiler single on a staid album become a sudden wicked hit...

Sadly, this also proved to be one of the times that a Analisse unit was destroyed irreversibly. Tensions frayed and ownership over Stella became a sore point between the Fenris brothers, threatening to derail their newfound popularity. It came to a head with the destruction of the unit by the brothers using various implements, an act documented on the video for the song released a few weeks later.

THEODORUS: When you hear the song she sings as we break her apart, what we actually heard on set was her repeatedly saying the same three words... "I Forgive you." in that gentle singsong manner she always had when we weren't using her as a musical instrument.

ALPHA: .... That's what she kept saying... I regret we ever destroyed our muse.

ALPHA: you can imagine what Seamus said when he saw the video release...

-abrupt cut to SEAMUS ARENDT, looking both saddened and pissed off-

The price was indeed high. As Theodorus Fenris noted later, they never had another hit single for the next twenty years till they retired.

The data was unfortunately stored in a format that is now obsolete, and efforts to port it to modern Arendtcore designs have proven problematic.

The motion/audio/reflex/sequencing data for Analisse functionality was stored on a fledgling cartridge format that was showing promise at the time, in part because of its incredible hard-wearing and dense data storage properties. The AME-ROM microdisc format promised a 10 millennium lifespan for both its drives and its discs, and the Analisse uses a unique double-sized, double-sided variant of this format to store 15000 words and discrete syllables, plus 80 hours of different motions and reflex actions.

This combination was mixed by a Parelt-Ehsen G45 animatronics controller chipset and piped to 800 servo units spread across the design. While the lifespan possibility of AME-ROM seems exaggerated, the fact is that we have yet to see a single one of these personality discs or drives ever wear out after over a century, and it has seen limited use elsewhere in its original definitions as a long term proven archival format. AME-ROM is unfortunately much slower than modern semivolatiles, prompting some to consider Analisse units as lower-intellect.

This is a mistake. They are smart - they just take longer to form the words and take the actions that their logic circuits require due to the slower access times of AME-ROM.

Vocal mixing of syllables into owner names and other custom phrases is provided by a Jenuwhine Pandragon K35 chipset. In selected units that were going to be assigned to staff with clear musical bents, this was replaced with a modulatable version. It was a mistake, as Seamus Arendt notes..

<big><big>"</big></big>''Seamus Arendt-''
The modulator on the musically enabled version of the K35 was meant to be locked into place when not being affected by wireless MIDI signals from a registered open-compatible music controller, but the damned thing kept popping in and affecting normal speech. This led to Analisse units given this modified chipset a certain randomized sing-song effect to their words. The people these were intended for were all delighted and never demanded a patch or fix. But I'm going to call it what it is - a small mistake in implementation that I made to a chipset that was working already fine for its main purposes. I'm honest enough to admit I'm a screwball when I'm one...
<big><big>"</big></big>

The visual and audio sensors, as well as main control panel were provided by Ban-Teki Tokyo Corp.

The audio sensors are essentially high-gain and capable of picking up very quiet whispers, yet capable of coping with loud noises of up to 200 decibels for short periods of time, within a range of 20 feet. The visual sensort are capable of normal wavelength sight at ranges between 2 and 100 feet, and are housed in a eyeball-like structure that includes see-through doll-eye iris elements that can be configured at initial boot to have one of 16.7million colors.

The main control panel is mainly analogue switches and buttons and gauges for power reserve measures and processor loads, with the only digital item being a 40x96 mint green character display for short log messages and errors. This is backed by a unifiying chipset that collates all the required logs and readouts as well as issues commands from the buttons and switches. This approach is no longer in use on modern Arendtcore designs, but enthusiasts of the Analisse design say it is somehow more... human. Personally, I think it's archaic, but I'm a legalist, not a doll designer, okay?

touch/heat sensoring is provided all over the body by sensnor assemblies merged into the triphasic silicone inhouse. Again, an approach no longer used. This results in a relatively bulky and hard to maintain external covering, but also warms it up slightly, allowing a sort of 'natural warmth' effect that many staffers issued this unit type praised.

As with many Arendtcore designs to come, the Analisse has a working non-reproductive vaginal module. This module is easily removable for servicing, and is powered by an array of microservo/bump sensor arrays linked to a CodyTech N35 sexual response chipset as used in many modern Funboys sex toys for detecting vaginal input, pushing out open-compatible vaginal lubricant solutions, and providing responsive motion to said inputs. While clunky, this makes the Analisse very resilient to sexual overloading as similar approaches are used on other hotspots of sexual activity and response to buffer and handle sexual reflexes while minimizing added loads to the animatronic controllers.

====== Cultural Impact ======
While the Analisse was a in-house project primarily issued within Little Sanctuary to only Arendtcore employees, a few did make it out into the rest of the world. These few units had an oversized impact relative to their very rare numberings.

The pop duo Twinergy were known childhood acquaintances of the Arendt brothers: Theodorus and Alpha Fenris. Naturally, when it came to handing out the Analisse units, the Fenris brothers scored one with a modulatable K35 vocal mixer chipset.

THEODORUS FENRIS: Well, when we unboxed that gift from the Arendts, she was all dowdy and chonkers. We named her Stella Fenris, and the temptation to turn our band into a trio with her in the back was always there. We ran a few notes into her with the wireless MIDI while she was singing, and it was...

ALPHA FENRIS: Magical. Yes. That was the right word. like a Goddess from on high. We used that effect on "She was made for making me fall in love", and what was supposed to be a potboiler single on a staid album become a sudden wicked hit...

Sadly, this also proved to be one of the times that a Analisse unit was destroyed irreversibly. Tensions frayed and ownership over Stella became a sore point between the Fenris brothers, threatening to derail their newfound popularity. It came to a head with the destruction of the unit by the brothers using various implements, an act documented on the video for the song released a few weeks later.

THEODORUS: When you hear the song she sings as we break her apart, what we actually heard on set was her repeatedly saying the same three words... "I Forgive you." in that gentle singsong manner she always had when we weren't using her as a musical instrument.

ALPHA: .... That's what she kept saying... I regret we ever destroyed our muse.

THEODORUS: Cursed for the rest of our careers with no more hits. That's what happened. She had this voice that we couldn't get even from a nice girl on a vocooder.

ALPHA: you can imagine what Seamus said when he saw the video release...

-abrupt cut to SEAMUS ARENDT, looking both saddened and pissed off-

SEAMUS ARENDT: 'You two are fucking imbeciles. This unit is irreversibly destroyed, and I'm not going to stretch my ass again getting you a new unit. Live with your stupidity for the rest of your life... dumb c--ts... This is NOT how you treat the gifts others give you, not now, not ever. Let the price of it be high for those dunheads.

The price was indeed high. As Theodorus Fenris noted later, they never had another hit single for the next twenty years till they retired.

Another Analisse was given to a most unexpected recepient: Jericho Escher, President of New Peru and former leader of the Peru Resistance Partisans insurgent front.

JERICHO ESCHER: This Seamus crazy and me, we once had a little fight blow up around us. Government folks. He could have just walked the hell out, instead he starts slugging them and yelling at me like a maniac about how 'he had my back'... you Americans and your Americanisms. One year later, he sends this big box labelled "Sumaq señora" (Beautiful Woman in Quechua) for out of nowhere for me. I open it up and inside the wrapping was indeed the most beautiful Sumaq señora I had ever seen indeed. Maybe a little plumper than my usual tastes... So naturally, being the utter Joder Idiota Tonto (utter fucking idiot, Quechua) I am, I accidentally named her "Plastica" because I called her a plastic whore while setting her up. She didn't seem to have any issues with me calling her that, but I couldn't change her name after. '''laughter from Jericho'''

SEAMUS: Oh god, this is one of the most fucking stupid user stories I remember, really. There was a reset code for that in the manual, and the damn idiot, for forty years, from that day, all the way through his blessed presidency, to his death... he never CHANGED her name. I suspect he actually grew to like it, really.

JERICHO: In victories, I held her in my hideout and kissed her deeply and made tender love to her. In defeat, she soothed me and distracted me the same way. She always waited up for me. This one time, I was cut off from my team for three months. When I got home, there was a warm meal on the table and her loving arms. I asked what she had been doing while waiting for me to come back. and they say "the same thing. Every night, she makes your favorite Pollo a La Brasa and Ceviche (roast chicken dish), then waits for you by the front door till midnight before asking us not to let it go to waste. And I'm sorry, Hatun Umalliq (Supreme Leader, Quecha), but all the good flavor you say is in the dish? I swear it is your hallucinations because you love her so much." I never let her cook again when I wasn't around after that. '''laughter from Jericho'''

Jericho Escher served for eight years as President of New Peru after the overthrow of the junta, and Plastica Escher became his vice president and first lady of New Peru, publishing a critically acclaimed cookbook for charity with pictures of very beautiful (and terrible tasting) Peruvian dishes. After serving two terms, he retired quietly, enjoying the company of his Analisse. Upon his death, the unit mourned him for a year before returning to Little Sanctuary for recycling or reassignment. For privacy reasons, the Company cannot disclose the eventual path she went upon after her return to us.

SEAMUS: And she was the first time I'd ever heard of a Analisse unit mourning its owner. Not the last either. I asked Bellamy, "did we ever program these units to pine for their owners or mourn them?"

BELLAMY ARENDT: I looked back at this dunhead and shook my noggin. I was like, "wot? I was never that good at programming AI girlfriends, and I wasn't going to start doing it. Perhaps there was something I'd coded that kicked in on those conditons that came together to form such a behavior, but I don't think I could deliberately replicate it. It was beautiful though...

User:Handle2/Arendtcore Employee Package Excerpts

2026-03-27T02:27:43Z

Handle2: /* Common Cat Cy-Fur Issues */

== Introduction ==
This page contains declassified and publicly available random snippets of info as provided in the Employee Packages to all new Employees of Arendtcore Minnesota and its subsidiaries. It does not include any data that is still considered company secrets or that requires specifically contacting Arendtcore staff members or gaining specific internal company clearances as noted in the original documents. To reduce size, most items are transcribed as text and only photos or pictures relevant to the interests of FembotWiki and not infringing on site rules are made available.

== Newbie Employee Package ==
=== Housing Programme ===
An Arendtcore Employee should not be homeless or sleeping in the back of their jalopy except during camping trips or long drives through places with problematic access to proper accomodation. The Company also believes that a proper home can forge deeper ties between an Employee and the Company and Little Sanctuary community As such Arendtcore Minnesota provides free housing to all employees of the company or its subsidiaries (at any level of importance or job level). The following conditions must be met to access the Housing Programme. Failure to do so will result in a probationary period to gain eligibility to the Housing programme or a valid waiver to access the Housing Programme without meeting its requirements, followed by retrenchment and exile from the Little Sanctuary corporate region.

# '''2 Adults in Consenting Relationship of any close nature, or''' - The company will accept at least two consenting adults in a relationship as valid for participation in Arendtcore Housing. The main holder MUST be a Arendtcore employee, but the other adult can be either another Arendtcore employee with proof of committment of at least 2 years to a proper relationship with said adult such as boyfriend/girlfriend pairings or marriages. Children cannot be counted for the purpose of this clause, but will be taken into account when assigning housing as another member of said relationship.
# '''Bunk with at least one Familes Programme - provided unit.''' - in the event that there is only one adult in a housing unit and no other adult is available to form a relationship, the Company will require you to accept at least one Spousal unit matching your sexual preferences and Psychological Profiling / specified desired traits either for free or at additional cost depending on choosiness. You may elect to add on at least one Child Unit on top of said Spousal Unit as a long-term salary garnish option. Again, actual children in the relationship will not be accepted as counting towards the '2 Adults in a Consenting Relationship' rule.
# '''Your sexual preferences are NOT our concern. Mostly.''' - it's your life to live how you want. We do not believe in discriminatory laws and will often turn a deaf ear through the profligate use of lawyers and legal writ. If you're trans, homo, ace, pan, bi, omni, or some other color of the LGBT flag, you're welcome to find a House and be a neighbour to others, the nature of your 'Consenting Relationship' will not matter in Rule 1 as long as it is not explictly defined as illegal in Minnesota state law (which is extremely lenient and forgiving as of 2040 onwards )
# '''You will not have a say in what house or location you get (Exceptions Noted)''' - Housing is randomly alloted based on the requirements of each family, not even the top level staff of Arendtcore get to leap over the AI that makes the decisions in this matter. Exceptions MAY be granted if one can prove that the family requires it for medical or religious reasons.
# '''Quitting? Turn in your keys.''' - Any Arendtcore Employee retrenched will be granted 30 days to find a new home and job outside Little Sanctuary, or a new job within the Company for either themselves or another Adult member of the company. At the end of 30 days, any relationship grouping without any Arendtcore employment will be required to turn in their keys and find a new home and job outside of Little Sanctuary. Exceptions may be granted temporarily or otherwise for genuine medical-related unfitness to work, or need to care for at least one child under 18, or to participants granted access under the Refugee Programme clauses.
# '''No extensive renovations''' - to avoid unhappy neighbours, please clear with your Housing Programme coordinator any significant renovations you wish to make.
# '''Castle Doctrine''' - alarm systems and less-lethal repellent devices are legal for use in Little Sanctuary, and intruders may be shot with less-lethal devices of any type by the owner of the house being intruded into.
# '''We'll ask first''' - in the event that a home is required for Company purposes, the Company will give at least 7 working days of notice to the house holder. The holder may reject the request unless it is related to work-related matters during work hours. This is NOT an invite to include unreasonable requests - please alert your Housing Coordinator if you feel this clause is being abused to gain unjustified access to your home.

=== Families Programme ===
The Families Programme is a system run to help loners in Little Sanctuary meet the most basic requirement needed to access proper housing and keep Arendtcore employment in Little Sanctuary. It is NOT a dating service or whorehouse, though elements of it do actively seek to pair biological males and females together as a first preference. Our aim here is to help people forge roots to keep them in Little Sanctuary in tougher times.

Sadly, we're a bit of a sausage factory, so that isn't possible for a marked majority of our members...

# '''Try to pair up''' - Ideally, we would like actual human men and women to get to know each other and cohabitate, if not outright marry each other and start having real kids. This has always been our Priority 1, despite the major advancements in provision of our alternative choices. Demographic Collapse is real, and we are trying our best to fight it on our end, just like the rest of the world. This is one of the purposes of efforts such as company gatherings and events as well as dating circles sponsored by Arendtcore outside of the office.
# '''Failing which, would you like a spousal unit?''' - we provide a wide range of Arendtcore-engineered solutions to resolve loneliness where 100% biological cohabitation is not an option. All Arendtcore employees may access one Spousal Unit for a period of at least 50 years, including free or cheap medical care for themselves or their new loved one. This unit is provided based on a careful psychological assessment of desires and needs, in many cases can be given free of charge or at a competitive prepaid or salary garnish rate, with basic Cooking/Cleaning/Cardio/Callisthenics/Companionship/Coitus capabilities. Optionally, one may add child units as well as a low-priced ongoing salary garnish option to expand the family further.
# '''Not Necessarily human-like or Arendtcore based''' - in recent years, we have explored providing options for Spousals or Child Units that are not necessarily human-like or based primarily on Arendtcore tech or designs. If we determine that your psych profile fits such an assignment we will stretch somewhat to fill it accordingly. This includes imports from other brands, and provision of proper Medicalcare for such units. Such units will more likely be heavily subsidised as a prepaid or salary garnish option rather than free.
# '''Not a wife swap service''' - while we allow for one or two swaps initially as one finds a fitting Spousal or child unit, this is not a service that lets you change your Spousal or child units like jalopies every few years. Upgrades and aging are possible, but not swaps of units on a regular basis. Swaps of units entering the end of their support or operating life are possible, but we try to offer a seamless or less seamed transition path to newer models as much as possible.

===The Replacement Goldfish Red Flag Rule===
by Seamus Arendt

I recognise that some of you amongst our robotics order and production divisions are asking about this weird rule that is in the Company Code. Let me explain exactly why we forbid any production that replicates a person, living or otherwise, who is related in some way to the customer.

Replacement Goldfish are basically ordered to replace someone the customer may have loved. This unfortunately guarantees disappointment with the final product sooner or later. maybe it's a visual flaw, maybe it's a problem in the way they move not matching up. maybe it's a difference in the way they process and make decisions not matching up to the original.

We are not going to produce a unit that is bogged down with prior expectations. When we put a unit into the hands of a customer, it is with the expectation that it will enhance their life and provide them with some form of satisfaction for years to come. Creating a unit that is guaranteed to disappoint however hard we push the envelop on technical quality is a fool's endeavor and will do neither of those things for the customer. They say the Customer is Always Right. I need to stress that that only applies to selected aspects of the order. If that order is wrong in other ways the maxim doesn't cover, we should look out for them and advise against such orders.

If you disagree with me on a particular order, please feel free to file a protest with Legal for review, and cc a copy of it to Psychology. 9 times out of 10, I guarantee a rejection. The one time you get the go ahead, it is only because Psychology determines that the production WILL improve the customer's life contrary to usual expectations... But what I have just stated is the usual expectation, and it will stand up pretty well. Can't hurt to try asking though, we HAVE nade exceptions a few times with great care.

And that, folks, is my thought on this matter for today.

===The Demographic Disaster===
by Seamus Arendt

To understand my long-term goals in creating Arendtcore initially as a robotics company and pushing the envelope continuously on so many aspects of our products, one starts from the problem I think we all have.

Since 2040, when I was a wee laddie corralling my brotherhood of kindred in a dinky frat house in Minnesota National Institute of Technologies (MINT), there has been an ongoing demographic collapse around the world. For every 10 natural women capable of the full range of human capability including reproduction for a new generation, there are 90 men out there. In some places, this imbalance is even more out of kilter such as Little Sanctuary, Singapora, the Chinajapese Empire's holdings or even New Russia. We can see the earliest attempts to deal with this post-Despotic Years quandry in the earliest super-realistic sexdolls these places began to produce: finely sculpted, but crude effigies based on materials we would never dream of using now for their potential healthrisks or lack of durability or flexibility. But these efforts did happen, and we must acknowledge them.

Ideally, I would like to find some tech that lets us resolve this quandry - actual women with actual capabilities to love and have pregnancies balancing out this imbalance. But I've roamed the world for ages, funding various efforts. Many good and genuinely intended projects, perhaps my share of con jobs, and so far, I have to sadly admit my luck at finding a scalable solution that isn't just chucking embryos into souless artificial birthing chambers or oppressing women into becoming breeding mules has NOT matched my fervent desire to solve the demographic disaster.

In the interim, it is rather unfortunate, but I can only focus on what I ''can'' do. I can engineer stopgaps. My brother Bellamy has excelled at creating lifelike AI constructs since we partied and he needed the cash to meet his school fees and enjoy his emo music. Marcus Manners is a sculptor par excellence, and Aymee Ichigo has always been great at seeing the potential issues each of our decisions could cause - we do regret it a little that she has gone on to greater heights and left us a little blind, really.

Throw these four lunatics and a few million in inherited wealth, and what does one get? Excellence in inorganic people.

Yes, I'm aware some of our staff are women who have opted for malebots for company, and that is being addressed whenever we can by our various programmes to encourage the pairing of actual biological adults together. But that loneliness inherent in a vast majority of the global male population, our town included, needs to be temporarily subsumed by something or other or it will potentially destroy our species even faster, in my humble belief. The True American Union and Europa threw their over-population of young adult men into a destructive conflict to whittle the numbers. China and Japan going to war wasn't about land, but about attrition between men with no way to sublimate their desire for female companionship into hatred for each other's flags.

War works in the short term to address the overbias of our world towards men, but in the long run, war between our places will only kill all of us.

Frankly, I'd rather give every man someone to love instead, even if I have to resort to artificiality and pretense to ease the pain. At least that way, if the descent is inevitable, it will be a slower, more quiet death for our species. Heck, maybe I'll get lucky and the robots will replace us gradually and nothing of value will have been lost by the time they become sophisticated enough to do this exactly.

And that, folks, is my thought on this matter for today.

=== Does She(He) ''Really'' Need a Working Vagina(Penis)? ===
by Bellamy Arendt

Some folks are slightly disturbed by the fact that whenever we engineer a humanlike android, we always provide them with at least a semblance of a vagina or penis based on their designated gender, if not actual fully working (albeit non-reproductive) units. Heck, we've even gone to war with the Federals over our child units having non-functional but sculpted genitalia, though this is mainly a settled matter now.

Is this risk even necessary? Short answer: yes.

Long answer: let me explain something we really try hard to do when we make humanlike androids - we try to humanize them as much as possible. They are not your disposable plastic people. They are people who will have a life of some sort outside of their duties, and perhaps even a post-retirement phase where they find new duties to accomplish.

if that outside life includes the whole spectrum of human experience, it occurs to The Four Of Us here that denying them one of the more significant human experiences, that of procreation in a consensual relationship without coercion of power or ignorance of the facts, even with zero chances of actually creating anything more than good feelings, that itself is an absolute injustice. It draws a line between us and them, one which we are not prepared to accept when we've already going this far in realism and human-like thought.

It has always been that way since we first put together our first life-like units, and yes, again, it has gotten us into trouble before. But we haven't changed our minds for 40 years, just so you know.

We've already thrown the Feds a bone in making said stuff non functional in our Under-18 units. Do NOT expect us to go any further in cutting ourselves on this. In fact, if we somehow work out how to make androids capable of proper human reproduction, expect us to get worse - heck, we may not even publicise that until it's too late to stuff things back in the bottle.... hell, it may already be happening... don't ask for confirmation or denial on that though!

We Four have always been chaos agents, even as we settle down to make sure so many of you have a stable life in our stable. If you were expecting a more nuanced approach to the matter, you haven't been paying attention, and you're only setting up for severe disappointment with us.... We aren't offering refunds, you joined our circus knowing we were fucked up in the head on so many things. And you can file a dispute with your superiors at Office Hours on this or leave Arendtcore if it upsets you that much.

So there!

=== Strange New Folks: Cat People? In Our Town? Yes. ===
by Marcus Manners

In recent weeks, some of you may have sworn to be seeing hallucinations, that of people who are human-sized shortstack bipedal cats walking around. I wish to confirm that, yes, Cat People from Arendtcore are a thing now in Little Sanctuary, on a limited deployment basis.

==== Who Are The Cy-Furs? ====
This oddity draws from a project which we did in the earliest years of Little Sanctuary. Our society has always had a skew from the average in many aspects. One of these is the prevalence of conditions that create learning difficulties with conventional curricula and teaching in our children. Some folks would be unkind and call them 'retarded'. We have a more enlightened belief that this merely means their capabilities have been expressed in other forms rather than the basic IQ. And in chasing a proper education for our kids, we tried something really interesting.

Enter The Cyfurs. We took our basic Android technology, and then added animal-like characteristics to them via the application of relevant fur/scale/other animal coverings and sculpts angled more towards stylised representations of animals. A whole forest of creatures, if you will. These units were deployed as teachers, cafe staff, even backoffice support within 'special ed' schools such as "Special Little Sparks" in Little Sanctuary.

Concerns about furry fandom scuttled a wider deploy initially. What made us change our minds? The prevalence of incidents involving our cat Cy-Furs being kept online past their intended retirement and removal dates, really. Some folks got into relations with units and were practically prepared to go to war with us on the obsoleting process for aged Cat Cy-Furs.

When you have folks like that, you can either make enemies of them... or admit that they may have a point and let go of your fears and restraint on the matter. Hence the increasing number of Cat Cy-Furs in public release. These are NOT a product we are going to release per se for the moment - you either find them assigned to you in Families, wandering about your neighbourhood working on things that benefit your locale, or were one of those early unauthorised Cat lovers. They are exclusive to Little Sanctuary and maybe a few external subsidiaries where education is a priority.

Here are some issues with the current deploy we wish to address.

==== Common Cat Cy-Fur Issues ====

* '''Why are half of them wearing anoraks?''' The current deploy of Cat Cy-Furs have a issue where any wind stronger than a light breeze causes painful audio feedback in their ears. We are working on a patch or hardware fix for this issue, but in the meantime, many in the Cat Cy-Fur community have found that covering their ears with any sort of protection - muffs, hats with room for cat ears, even anoraks - helps when walking outdoors in stronger winds.
* '''Are these guys... yiffable?''' Yes. Despite being stylised models, they are entitled to the same access to the human condition as many other human-like Arendtcore androids, which means they have genitalia compatible with both each other, as well as humans. This doesn't mean you get to go around wildly cornholing them, and it also means they don't get to go into the cartoon trope of not wearing lower garments - if you see a Cat Cyfur wandering around without any skirt or pants, hand them a pair and tell them to stop streaking in our community, thanks.
* '''Will there be other species of Cy-Fur added to the mix in public?''' We are already having interesting issues just focusing on cats. The potential replication of interspecies relations between Cat Cyfurs is already an interesting issue too. We would rather not make things even more interesting with other forms of Cy-Fur until we're absolutely read in on what the cats introduce.
* '''Cattie?''' is a term we've heard some less enlightened members of our town use to disparage Cat Cy-Furs. You do remember our general stance on discrimination of any sort, right? IT APPLIES HERE: We don't encourage it, and we don't want it in our town! To their credit, the cat cyfur community is already blunting the edge on this species hatred by using the term on each other themselves, much like black folks using the n-word.
* '''But I'm allergic to cats!''' The fur used on cat cyfurs is a hardwearing, hypoallergenic artificial variant. it's all in your mind if they make your sniffle or sneeze, bro.
* '''Their caterwauling is loud at night!''' Again, see "are these guys yiffable". We ARE trying our best to educate them that it's not good to keep your neighbours up. But if you start getting frisky and horny, maybe stop blaming them for your lack of sleep, okay?
* '''Are there any Cat Cy-Furs that resemble xxx shorthairs?''' representation of some of the most common housecat species excepting Siamese in Cat Cyfurs is a thing.
* '''Any advice for dealing with Cat Cyfurs?''' They have been engineered with a blend of both human and cat characteristics. This combination has proven volatile, and you should always assume there's a half-chance that their response to something you offer or do is more cat and less human, despite their intellect matching up with other humans and androids. Avoid handling catnip or cat toys around them - not all Cat Cy-Furs will fall into cat behavior when faced with cat things, but a lot of them will. Above all, we would appreciate if the community gives them a chance and treats them mostly like humans, occasional cat behaviors not withstanding.
* '''Meow?''' Meow.

And that's about the size of it, folks.

As Little Sanctuary as a town has developed in ways both far ahead of its surrounding neighbouts (extremely bleeding edge tech run amok) and far behind (design cues taken from an Americana that hasn't existed for centuries), it has culturally also become a bit of a 'weird ass place'. This includes the language, which, while supposedly American English mixed from both Unions as well as the Neutral States, also acquired some pretty interesting local colloquialisms. Some of those colloquialisms have been excerpted from the local dictionary here:
* '''Fuck-Me-To-Tilt:''' Used originally by self-aware inorganics to denote sex so good for them that it causes them to temporarily enter a state of recoverable non-functionality. Has gradually also caught on with organics in Little Sanctuary for the same reasons albeit in organic terms. Contrast with: Fuck-Me-To-Scrap, Fuck-Me-To-Pieces

* '''catties:''' originally used to denote Arendtcore units based off Cyberkitty technology, which are often denoted by their being human-sized bipedal cats, often in anoraks when outdoors. Previously a slur, has been stolen by Cyberkitty culture and groupings, and more open-minded partners with prior consent for their own affectionate uses. "Yo yo yo, how me catties doing today?" "He's a cattie, but he's our cattie!"

* '''sleeper mode:''' a mode toggle on Arendtcore units (and many other competing brands) that allows a inorganic unit to operate without awareness of its true basis in circuitry and plastic rather than biological systems at a cost in increased complexity in operations and maintenance. Sometimes used as a slur to put down people considered epically stupid. e.g. "Omigod, that guy is such a idiot!" "Yeah, it's like he's on sleeper mode or some shit."

* '''The Complex''': used in a Little Sanctuary context, it can only mean one thing - The Arendtcore offices and main factory complex as located in the heart of Little Sanctuary, and the spot where many of the Original Districts that Little Sanctuary initially gathered together as a corporate town.

* '''Original Districts / OhDees : ''' The original districts that Little Sanctuary was first formed into from parts of Ohio that had voted earliest to become part of Arendtcore's corporate enclave proposal. Numbered 1-35. There has been little scope creep as newer districts have been added to the list of currently 178 districts.

* '''The Four''': refers to the original four founders of Arendtcore (as well as Little Sanctuary later on) - Marcus Manners, Aymee Ichigo, Seamus Arendt, and Bellamy Arendt.

* '''rejuve''': therapies designed to slow down or even (salacious rumor has it) reverse aging. The result is a society where one's age cannot be readily determined by one's appearance - many people look considerably younger than their actual age. Actually asking for ID to check ages for age-limited activities or purchases is a common and justified form of paranoia within Little Sanctuary.

* '''HAF''' : a drug supposedly obtained from the burning of human analogue flesh at high temperatures, meant to induce highs followed by paranoia. This claim has been disputed by Arendtcore as none of the precursors of Human Analogue Flesh have any use in any form of drug meant to induce a high.

* '''pop''': remove or slide back a cover to internals or an access panel. Not recommended outside of controlled conditions due to how it exposes delicate circuitry to the hazards offered by the world.

* '''Despo years''': refers to the Despotic Years, the years in which original America fragmented into its current condition due to despotic rule from Wash District to the East and protesting states hiving off in protest mainly in the West. The repeated nuclear incidents did not help matters.

* '''incomers''': refers to newcomers who have just made it past the gates of Little Sanctuary for long term purposes such as emigration or employment in Little Sanctuary

* '''indies''': refers to people who live in Little Sanctuary for the purpose of employment at a business not directly related to Arendtcore or its subsidiaries. As such businesses are officially not permitted to exist within Little Sanctuary, "indies" are very rare to encounter outside of very small local businesses such as grocers, hairdressers, independent fashion and artists, for whom the payment of taxes to Little Sanctuary is considered a "license fee" for limited rights to the Arendtcore brand, in order to skirt the requirement of direct employment within the Arendtcore family as a conditon to live within Little Sanctuary

* '''spousal''': refers to inorganics issued to a Arendtcore employee under the Families programme to function as a spouse (hence the term)

* '''rat''': not quite the demeaning term or yucky animal most people think of them as. Usually refers to Greater Minnesotan Rats, which when properly bred and vaccinated can function as pets or food. Much of the meat you see in Minnesota is rat. Much of the meat you see in Little Sanctuary is rat processed into a deniable state.

* '''square''': a central location for groups of several districts, where many shared facilities and shops are emplaced to both serve the districts and foster engagement and closer ties amongst residents. Often host to interesting activities such as the Charity Pie Bake Contests, the Live Art Concerns, and the Humors and Rumors news and comedy events.

* '''Five Minute Love''': a corruption of the Five Minute Hates of 1984, where one person points out something 'worth loving' and the rest of the grouping spend the next five minutes or so following on with more declarations of how it is loved, or staying silent. To protest against a FML is considered impolite in Little Sanctuary society unless the item in question is clearly the subject of much opprobium e.g. Great Leader Drurutus of the True American Union, or pineapple pizza, or even the overuse of the color blue in some districts (such as 47). Rumored to have originated as a practice on ancient social media systems.

* '''bar mitzvah/bat mitzvah''': corrupted from its original use as a Jewish celebration of a child approaching the age of reason - in Little Sanctuary this usually refers to Child Units issued under the Familites Programme celebrating reaching a major stage in their aging (9-10, 11-12, 13-15, 16-17, 18+), mainly to update others who know them of their new form and identity. Has gradually also spread to organic children, though parents in this case may not be as strict about the stages defined.

* '''Originals''': refers to people who can lay claim to being part of the first wave of people who formed Arendtcore and established Little Sanctuary.

* '''fibrovasculars/fibros''': a term that has entered popular usage somehow, despite being a very technical term. Refers to the elements that make up the iris and provide its color in organics originally, now refers to the entire iris of an eye. "That girl has some amazing deep blue fibros." Has been partially corrupted by the introduction of false similar elements into visual sensors intended to be lifelike.

* '''power cells''': corrupted by the regular use of breasts in female organic units as power storage volumes, now refers as slang to boobs on female inorganics or organics now except when otherwise clearly indicated. "Wow, check out the power cells on that chick." Also see: fuel belly, charge dong.

* '''Angels''': a popular local equivalent to Hooters. Irish-American Diner theme, lots of blue and white sky colors, regular limited time specials on foods made from edible invasive species in America renamed to the same angel theming. Also refers to its waitresses in subtly skimpy angel-themed dress outfits. For some curious reason, the same three waitresses can be seen in all 6 outlets around Little Sanctuary, and multiple instances of the same waitress can even be seen next to each other occasionally. The mananagement siply explains this peculiar occurence as "they just want to be with all of you at once", but this is more likely to be due to the use of template-based waitress androids.

* '''Former Child Unit''': refers to Child Units that have been gradually aged into adulthood (presenting as 18 or older) and qualifying for the privileges and responsibilites of normal adulthood within Little Sanctuary society, including registration as a new generation of Spousal Units

* '''Lastditch (without the space)''': Refers to the LASTDITCH Project, a last effort to build a realistic lifelike android funded on the last dollars that Arendtcorp had at one point in time that proved wildly successful and revitalized the company into a massively acquisitional coglomerate. See also: Final Fantasy, Hail Mary Plays, Success Or Bust

* '''Holograph''': the use of lasers to produce an image in midair. In Little Sanctuary, refers to inorganics whose main appearance is projected by a holographic emitter rather than being based in actual physical matter.

* '''Ciphers''': a corruption of the word Cy-Fur, referring to Arendtcore's growiing range of androids based off stylised bipedal animals. Groups with heavily specific focuses may opt to use a different slang to refer to themselves (e.g. catties, woozies, burrs)

* '''Nothing to the East, Nothing to the West''': a mentality espoused by certain dumber descendants of earlier generations to settle in Little Sanctuary. The continued intake of new talent and ideas into, and continued journeys and exports from Little Sanctuary only disproves this generally-frowned-upon philosophy.

* '''sixie''': slang, denotes an inorganic based on a platform that allows reversible disassembly into six or more discrete pieces (hence the terming) for the purposes of easier transport and storage. Used to be a slur denoting lower intellect as many such platforms used to house lower computational power, obsoleted by recent advances in computing power on such systems.

* '''brought my wife to a gun fight''': corruption of 'bring a knife to a gun fight'. References the awkward reality that some newly immigrated members into Little Sanctuary did not come from peaceful places, and is a warning not to underestimate or bring strife to immigrants from other places because they may literally be packing a wife with actual cannons built in or other survival skills designed to cause regret.

User:Handle2/Arendtcore Employee Package Excerpts

Handle2: /* Internal Company publications */ Appearance of Cat cy-furs in Little Sanctuary Addressed by article added.

== Introduction ==
This page contains declassified and publicly available random snippets of info as provided in the Employee Packages to all new Employees of Arendtcore Minnesota and its subsidiaries. It does not include any data that is still considered company secrets or that requires specifically contacting Arendtcore staff members or gaining specific internal company clearances as noted in the original documents. To reduce size, most items are transcribed as text and only photos or pictures relevant to the interests of FembotWiki and not infringing on site rules are made available.

== Newbie Employee Package ==
=== Housing Programme ===
An Arendtcore Employee should not be homeless or sleeping in the back of their jalopy except during camping trips or long drives through places with problematic access to proper accomodation. The Company also believes that a proper home can forge deeper ties between an Employee and the Company and Little Sanctuary community As such Arendtcore Minnesota provides free housing to all employees of the company or its subsidiaries (at any level of importance or job level). The following conditions must be met to access the Housing Programme. Failure to do so will result in a probationary period to gain eligibility to the Housing programme or a valid waiver to access the Housing Programme without meeting its requirements, followed by retrenchment and exile from the Little Sanctuary corporate region.

# '''2 Adults in Consenting Relationship of any close nature, or''' - The company will accept at least two consenting adults in a relationship as valid for participation in Arendtcore Housing. The main holder MUST be a Arendtcore employee, but the other adult can be either another Arendtcore employee with proof of committment of at least 2 years to a proper relationship with said adult such as boyfriend/girlfriend pairings or marriages. Children cannot be counted for the purpose of this clause, but will be taken into account when assigning housing as another member of said relationship.
# '''Bunk with at least one Familes Programme - provided unit.''' - in the event that there is only one adult in a housing unit and no other adult is available to form a relationship, the Company will require you to accept at least one Spousal unit matching your sexual preferences and Psychological Profiling / specified desired traits either for free or at additional cost depending on choosiness. You may elect to add on at least one Child Unit on top of said Spousal Unit as a long-term salary garnish option. Again, actual children in the relationship will not be accepted as counting towards the '2 Adults in a Consenting Relationship' rule.
# '''Your sexual preferences are NOT our concern. Mostly.''' - it's your life to live how you want. We do not believe in discriminatory laws and will often turn a deaf ear through the profligate use of lawyers and legal writ. If you're trans, homo, ace, pan, bi, omni, or some other color of the LGBT flag, you're welcome to find a House and be a neighbour to others, the nature of your 'Consenting Relationship' will not matter in Rule 1 as long as it is not explictly defined as illegal in Minnesota state law (which is extremely lenient and forgiving as of 2040 onwards )
# '''You will not have a say in what house or location you get (Exceptions Noted)''' - Housing is randomly alloted based on the requirements of each family, not even the top level staff of Arendtcore get to leap over the AI that makes the decisions in this matter. Exceptions MAY be granted if one can prove that the family requires it for medical or religious reasons.
# '''Quitting? Turn in your keys.''' - Any Arendtcore Employee retrenched will be granted 30 days to find a new home and job outside Little Sanctuary, or a new job within the Company for either themselves or another Adult member of the company. At the end of 30 days, any relationship grouping without any Arendtcore employment will be required to turn in their keys and find a new home and job outside of Little Sanctuary. Exceptions may be granted temporarily or otherwise for genuine medical-related unfitness to work, or need to care for at least one child under 18, or to participants granted access under the Refugee Programme clauses.
# '''No extensive renovations''' - to avoid unhappy neighbours, please clear with your Housing Programme coordinator any significant renovations you wish to make.
# '''Castle Doctrine''' - alarm systems and less-lethal repellent devices are legal for use in Little Sanctuary, and intruders may be shot with less-lethal devices of any type by the owner of the house being intruded into.
# '''We'll ask first''' - in the event that a home is required for Company purposes, the Company will give at least 7 working days of notice to the house holder. The holder may reject the request unless it is related to work-related matters during work hours. This is NOT an invite to include unreasonable requests - please alert your Housing Coordinator if you feel this clause is being abused to gain unjustified access to your home.

=== Families Programme ===
The Families Programme is a system run to help loners in Little Sanctuary meet the most basic requirement needed to access proper housing and keep Arendtcore employment in Little Sanctuary. It is NOT a dating service or whorehouse, though elements of it do actively seek to pair biological males and females together as a first preference. Our aim here is to help people forge roots to keep them in Little Sanctuary in tougher times.

Sadly, we're a bit of a sausage factory, so that isn't possible for a marked majority of our members...

# '''Try to pair up''' - Ideally, we would like actual human men and women to get to know each other and cohabitate, if not outright marry each other and start having real kids. This has always been our Priority 1, despite the major advancements in provision of our alternative choices. Demographic Collapse is real, and we are trying our best to fight it on our end, just like the rest of the world. This is one of the purposes of efforts such as company gatherings and events as well as dating circles sponsored by Arendtcore outside of the office.
# '''Failing which, would you like a spousal unit?''' - we provide a wide range of Arendtcore-engineered solutions to resolve loneliness where 100% biological cohabitation is not an option. All Arendtcore employees may access one Spousal Unit for a period of at least 50 years, including free or cheap medical care for themselves or their new loved one. This unit is provided based on a careful psychological assessment of desires and needs, in many cases can be given free of charge or at a competitive prepaid or salary garnish rate, with basic Cooking/Cleaning/Cardio/Callisthenics/Companionship/Coitus capabilities. Optionally, one may add child units as well as a low-priced ongoing salary garnish option to expand the family further.
# '''Not Necessarily human-like or Arendtcore based''' - in recent years, we have explored providing options for Spousals or Child Units that are not necessarily human-like or based primarily on Arendtcore tech or designs. If we determine that your psych profile fits such an assignment we will stretch somewhat to fill it accordingly. This includes imports from other brands, and provision of proper Medicalcare for such units. Such units will more likely be heavily subsidised as a prepaid or salary garnish option rather than free.
# '''Not a wife swap service''' - while we allow for one or two swaps initially as one finds a fitting Spousal or child unit, this is not a service that lets you change your Spousal or child units like jalopies every few years. Upgrades and aging are possible, but not swaps of units on a regular basis. Swaps of units entering the end of their support or operating life are possible, but we try to offer a seamless or less seamed transition path to newer models as much as possible.

===The Replacement Goldfish Red Flag Rule===
by Seamus Arendt

I recognise that some of you amongst our robotics order and production divisions are asking about this weird rule that is in the Company Code. Let me explain exactly why we forbid any production that replicates a person, living or otherwise, who is related in some way to the customer.

Replacement Goldfish are basically ordered to replace someone the customer may have loved. This unfortunately guarantees disappointment with the final product sooner or later. maybe it's a visual flaw, maybe it's a problem in the way they move not matching up. maybe it's a difference in the way they process and make decisions not matching up to the original.

We are not going to produce a unit that is bogged down with prior expectations. When we put a unit into the hands of a customer, it is with the expectation that it will enhance their life and provide them with some form of satisfaction for years to come. Creating a unit that is guaranteed to disappoint however hard we push the envelop on technical quality is a fool's endeavor and will do neither of those things for the customer. They say the Customer is Always Right. I need to stress that that only applies to selected aspects of the order. If that order is wrong in other ways the maxim doesn't cover, we should look out for them and advise against such orders.

If you disagree with me on a particular order, please feel free to file a protest with Legal for review, and cc a copy of it to Psychology. 9 times out of 10, I guarantee a rejection. The one time you get the go ahead, it is only because Psychology determines that the production WILL improve the customer's life contrary to usual expectations... But what I have just stated is the usual expectation, and it will stand up pretty well. Can't hurt to try asking though, we HAVE nade exceptions a few times with great care.

And that, folks, is my thought on this matter for today.

===The Demographic Disaster===
by Seamus Arendt

To understand my long-term goals in creating Arendtcore initially as a robotics company and pushing the envelope continuously on so many aspects of our products, one starts from the problem I think we all have.

Since 2040, when I was a wee laddie corralling my brotherhood of kindred in a dinky frat house in Minnesota National Institute of Technologies (MINT), there has been an ongoing demographic collapse around the world. For every 10 natural women capable of the full range of human capability including reproduction for a new generation, there are 90 men out there. In some places, this imbalance is even more out of kilter such as Little Sanctuary, Singapora, the Chinajapese Empire's holdings or even New Russia. We can see the earliest attempts to deal with this post-Despotic Years quandry in the earliest super-realistic sexdolls these places began to produce: finely sculpted, but crude effigies based on materials we would never dream of using now for their potential healthrisks or lack of durability or flexibility. But these efforts did happen, and we must acknowledge them.

Ideally, I would like to find some tech that lets us resolve this quandry - actual women with actual capabilities to love and have pregnancies balancing out this imbalance. But I've roamed the world for ages, funding various efforts. Many good and genuinely intended projects, perhaps my share of con jobs, and so far, I have to sadly admit my luck at finding a scalable solution that isn't just chucking embryos into souless artificial birthing chambers or oppressing women into becoming breeding mules has NOT matched my fervent desire to solve the demographic disaster.

In the interim, it is rather unfortunate, but I can only focus on what I ''can'' do. I can engineer stopgaps. My brother Bellamy has excelled at creating lifelike AI constructs since we partied and he needed the cash to meet his school fees and enjoy his emo music. Marcus Manners is a sculptor par excellence, and Aymee Ichigo has always been great at seeing the potential issues each of our decisions could cause - we do regret it a little that she has gone on to greater heights and left us a little blind, really.

Throw these four lunatics and a few million in inherited wealth, and what does one get? Excellence in inorganic people.

Yes, I'm aware some of our staff are women who have opted for malebots for company, and that is being addressed whenever we can by our various programmes to encourage the pairing of actual biological adults together. But that loneliness inherent in a vast majority of the global male population, our town included, needs to be temporarily subsumed by something or other or it will potentially destroy our species even faster, in my humble belief. The True American Union and Europa threw their over-population of young adult men into a destructive conflict to whittle the numbers. China and Japan going to war wasn't about land, but about attrition between men with no way to sublimate their desire for female companionship into hatred for each other's flags.

War works in the short term to address the overbias of our world towards men, but in the long run, war between our places will only kill all of us.

Frankly, I'd rather give every man someone to love instead, even if I have to resort to artificiality and pretense to ease the pain. At least that way, if the descent is inevitable, it will be a slower, more quiet death for our species. Heck, maybe I'll get lucky and the robots will replace us gradually and nothing of value will have been lost by the time they become sophisticated enough to do this exactly.

And that, folks, is my thought on this matter for today.

=== Does She(He) ''Really'' Need a Working Vagina(Penis)? ===
by Bellamy Arendt

Some folks are slightly disturbed by the fact that whenever we engineer a humanlike android, we always provide them with at least a semblance of a vagina or penis based on their designated gender, if not actual fully working (albeit non-reproductive) units. Heck, we've even gone to war with the Federals over our child units having non-functional but sculpted genitalia, though this is mainly a settled matter now.

Is this risk even necessary? Short answer: yes.

Long answer: let me explain something we really try hard to do when we make humanlike androids - we try to humanize them as much as possible. They are not your disposable plastic people. They are people who will have a life of some sort outside of their duties, and perhaps even a post-retirement phase where they find new duties to accomplish.

if that outside life includes the whole spectrum of human experience, it occurs to The Four Of Us here that denying them one of the more significant human experiences, that of procreation in a consensual relationship without coercion of power or ignorance of the facts, even with zero chances of actually creating anything more than good feelings, that itself is an absolute injustice. It draws a line between us and them, one which we are not prepared to accept when we've already going this far in realism and human-like thought.

It has always been that way since we first put together our first life-like units, and yes, again, it has gotten us into trouble before. But we haven't changed our minds for 40 years, just so you know.

We've already thrown the Feds a bone in making said stuff non functional in our Under-18 units. Do NOT expect us to go any further in cutting ourselves on this. In fact, if we somehow work out how to make androids capable of proper human reproduction, expect us to get worse - heck, we may not even publicise that until it's too late to stuff things back in the bottle.... hell, it may already be happening... don't ask for confirmation or denial on that though!

We Four have always been chaos agents, even as we settle down to make sure so many of you have a stable life in our stable. If you were expecting a more nuanced approach to the matter, you haven't been paying attention, and you're only setting up for severe disappointment with us.... We aren't offering refunds, you joined our circus knowing we were fucked up in the head on so many things. And you can file a dispute with your superiors at Office Hours on this or leave Arendtcore if it upsets you that much.

So there!

=== Strange New Folks: Cat People? In Our Town? Yes. ===
by Marcus Manners

In recent weeks, some of you may have sworn to be seeing hallucinations, that of people who are human-sized shortstack bipedal cats walking around. I wish to confirm that, yes, Cat People from Arendtcore are a thing now in Little Sanctuary, on a limited deployment basis.

==== Who Are The Cy-Furs? ====
This oddity draws from a project which we did in the earliest years of Little Sanctuary. Our society has always had a skew from the average in many aspects. One of these is the prevalence of conditions that create learning difficulties with conventional curricula and teaching in our children. Some folks would be unkind and call them 'retarded'. We have a more enlightened belief that this merely means their capabilities have been expressed in other forms rather than the basic IQ. And in chasing a proper education for our kids, we tried something really interesting.

Enter The Cyfurs. We took our basic Android technology, and then added animal-like characteristics to them via the application of relevant fur/scale/other animal coverings and sculpts angled more towards stylised representations of animals. A whole forest of creatures, if you will. These units were deployed as teachers, cafe staff, even backoffice support within 'special ed' schools such as "Special Little Sparks" in Little Sanctuary.

Concerns about furry fandom scuttled a wider deploy initially. What made us change our minds? The prevalence of incidents involving our cat Cy-Furs being kept online past their intended retirement and removal dates, really. Some folks got into relations with units and were practically prepared to go to war with us on the obsoleting process for aged Cat Cy-Furs.

When you have folks like that, you can either make enemies of them... or admit that they may have a point and let go of your fears and restraint on the matter. Hence the increasing number of Cat Cy-Furs in public release. These are NOT a product we are going to release per se for the moment - you either find them assigned to you in Families, wandering about your neighbourhood working on things that benefit your locale, or were one of those early unauthorised Cat lovers. They are exclusive to Little Sanctuary and maybe a few external subsidiaries where education is a priority.

Here are some issues with the current deploy we wish to address.

==== Common Cat Cy-Fur Issues ====

* '''Why are half of them wearing anoraks?''' The current deploy of Cat Cy-Furs have a issue where any wind stronger than a light breeze causes painful audio feedback in their ears. We are working on a patch or hardware fix for this issue, but in the meantime, many in the Cat Cy-Fur community have found that covering their ears with any sort of protection - muffs, hats with room for cat ears, even anoraks - helps when walking outdoors in stronger winds.
* '''Are these guys... yiffable?''' Yes. Despite being stylised models, they are entitled to the same access to the human condition as many other human-like Arendtcore androids, which means they have genitalia compatible with both each other, as well as humans. This doesn't mean you get to go around wildly cornholing them, and it also means they don't get to go into the cartoon trope of not wearing lower garments - if you see a Cat Cyfur wandering around without any skirt or pants, hand them a pair and tell them to stop streaking in our community, thanks.
* '''Will there be other species of Cy-Fur added to the mix in public?''' We are already having interesting issues just focusing on cats. The potential replication of interspecies relations between Cat Cyfurs is already an interesting issue too. We would rather not make things even more interesting with other forms of Cy-Fur until we're absolutely read in on what the cats introduce.
* '''Cattie?''' is a term we've heard some less enlightened members of our town use to disparage Cat Cy-Furs. You do remember our general stance on discrimination of any sort, right? IT APPLIES HERE: We don't encourage it, and we don't want it in our town! To their credit, the cat cyfur community is already blunting the edge on this species hatred by using the term on each other themselves, much like black folks using the n-word.
* '''Are there any Cat Cy-Furs that resemble xxx shorthairs?''' representation of some of the most common housecat species excepting Siamese in Cat Cyfurs is a thing.
* '''Any advice for dealing with Cat Cyfurs?''' They have been engineered with a blend of both human and cat characteristics. This combination has proven volatile, and you should always assume there's a half-chance that their response to something you offer or do is more cat and less human, despite their intellect matching up with other humans and androids. Avoid handling catnip or cat toys around them - not all Cat Cy-Furs will fall into cat behavior when faced with cat things, but a lot of them will. Above all, we would appreciate if the community gives them a chance and treats them mostly like humans, occasional cat behaviors not withstanding.
* '''Meow?''' Meow.

And that's about the size of it, folks.

== Little Sanctuary Oddities ==
=== Local Jargon ===
As Little Sanctuary as a town has developed in ways both far ahead of its surrounding neighbouts (extremely bleeding edge tech run amok) and far behind (design cues taken from an Americana that hasn't existed for centuries), it has culturally also become a bit of a 'weird ass place'. This includes the language, which, while supposedly American English mixed from both Unions as well as the Neutral States, also acquired some pretty interesting local colloquialisms. Some of those colloquialisms have been excerpted from the local dictionary here:
* '''Fuck-Me-To-Tilt:''' Used originally by self-aware inorganics to denote sex so good for them that it causes them to temporarily enter a state of recoverable non-functionality. Has gradually also caught on with organics in Little Sanctuary for the same reasons albeit in organic terms. Contrast with: Fuck-Me-To-Scrap, Fuck-Me-To-Pieces

* '''catties:''' originally used to denote Arendtcore units based off Cyberkitty technology, which are often denoted by their being human-sized bipedal cats, often in anoraks when outdoors. Previously a slur, has been stolen by Cyberkitty culture and groupings, and more open-minded partners with prior consent for their own affectionate uses. "Yo yo yo, how me catties doing today?" "He's a cattie, but he's our cattie!"

* '''sleeper mode:''' a mode toggle on Arendtcore units (and many other competing brands) that allows a inorganic unit to operate without awareness of its true basis in circuitry and plastic rather than biological systems at a cost in increased complexity in operations and maintenance. Sometimes used as a slur to put down people considered epically stupid. e.g. "Omigod, that guy is such a idiot!" "Yeah, it's like he's on sleeper mode or some shit."

* '''The Complex''': used in a Little Sanctuary context, it can only mean one thing - The Arendtcore offices and main factory complex as located in the heart of Little Sanctuary, and the spot where many of the Original Districts that Little Sanctuary initially gathered together as a corporate town.

* '''Original Districts / OhDees : ''' The original districts that Little Sanctuary was first formed into from parts of Ohio that had voted earliest to become part of Arendtcore's corporate enclave proposal. Numbered 1-35. There has been little scope creep as newer districts have been added to the list of currently 178 districts.

* '''The Four''': refers to the original four founders of Arendtcore (as well as Little Sanctuary later on) - Marcus Manners, Aymee Ichigo, Seamus Arendt, and Bellamy Arendt.

* '''rejuve''': therapies designed to slow down or even (salacious rumor has it) reverse aging. The result is a society where one's age cannot be readily determined by one's appearance - many people look considerably younger than their actual age.

* '''pop''': remove or slide back a cover to internals or an access panel. Not recommended outside of controlled conditions due to how it exposes delicate circuitry to the hazards offered by the world.

* '''Despo years''': refers to the Despotic Years, the years in which original America fragmented into its current condition due to despotic rule from Wash District to the East and protesting states hiving off in protest mainly in the West. The repeated nuclear incidents did not help matters.

* '''incomers''': refers to newcomers who have just made it past the gates of Little Sanctuary for long term purposes such as emigration or employment in Little Sanctuary

* '''indies''': refers to people who live in Little Sanctuary for the purpose of employment at a business not directly related to Arendtcore or its subsidiaries. As such businesses are officially not permitted to exist within Little Sanctuary, "indies" are very rare to encounter outside of very small local businesses such as grocers, hairdressers, independent fashion and artists, for whom the payment of taxes to Little Sanctuary is considered a "license fee" for limited rights to the Arendtcore brand, in order to skirt the requirement of direct employment within the Arendtcore family as a conditon to live within Little Sanctuary

* '''spousal''': refers to inorganics issued to a Arendtcore employee under the Families programme to function as a spouse (hence the term)

* '''rat''': not quite the demeaning term or yucky animal most people think of them as. Usually refers to Greater Minnesotan Rats, which when properly bred and vaccinated can function as pets or food. Much of the meat you see in Minnesota is rat. Much of the meat you see in Little Sanctuary is rat processed into a deniable state.

* '''square''': a central location for groups of several districts, where many shared facilities and shops are emplaced to both serve the districts and foster engagement and closer ties amongst residents. Often host to interesting activities such as the Charity Pie Bake Contests, the Live Art Concerns, and the Humors and Rumors news and comedy events.

* '''Five Minute Love''': a corruption of the Five Minute Hates of 1984, where one person points out something 'worth loving' and the rest of the grouping spend the next five minutes or so following on with more declarations of how it is loved, or staying silent. To protest against a FML is considered impolite in Little Sanctuary society unless the item in question is clearly the subject of much opprobium e.g. Great Leader Drurutus of the True American Union, or pineapple pizza, or even the overuse of the color blue in some districts (such as 47). Rumored to have originated as a practice on ancient social media systems.

* '''bar mitzvah/bat mitzvah''': corrupted from its original use as a Jewish celebration of a child approaching the age of reason - in Little Sanctuary this usually refers to Child Units issued under the Familites Programme celebrating reaching a major stage in their aging (9-10, 11-12, 13-15, 16-17, 18+), mainly to update others who know them of their new form and identity.

* '''Originals''': refers to people who can lay claim to being part of the first wave of people who formed Arendtcore and established Little Sanctuary.

* '''fibrovasculars/fibros''': a term that has entered popular usage somehow, despite being a very technical term. Refers to the elements that make up the iris and provide its color in organics originally, now refers to the entire iris of an eye. "That girl has some amazing deep blue fibros." Has been partially corrupted by the introduction of false similar elements into visual sensors intended to be lifelike.

* '''power cells''': corrupted by the regular use of breasts in female organic units as power storage volumes, now refers as slang to boobs on female inorganics or organics now except when otherwise clearly indicated. "Wow, check out the power cells on that chick." Also see: fuel belly, charge dong.

* '''Angels''': a popular local equivalent to Hooters. Irish-American Diner theme, lots of blue and white sky colors, regular limited time specials on foods made from edible invasive species in America renamed to the same angel theming. Also refers to its waitresses in subtly skimpy angel-themed dress outfits. For some curious reason, the same three waitresses can be seen in all 6 outlets around Little Sanctuary, and multiple instances of the same waitress can even be seen next to each other occasionally. The mananagement siply explains this peculiar occurence as "they just want to be with all of you at once", but this is more likely to be due to the use of template-based waitress androids.

== Introduction ==
This page contains declassified and publicly available random snippets of info as provided in the Employee Packages to all new Employees of Arendtcore Minnesota and its subsidiaries. It does not include any data that is still considered company secrets or that requires specifically contacting Arendtcore staff members or gaining specific internal company clearances as noted in the original documents. To reduce size, most items are transcribed as text and only photos or pictures relevant to the interests of FembotWiki and not infringing on site rules are made available.

== Newbie Employee Package ==
=== Housing Programme ===
An Arendtcore Employee should not be homeless or sleeping in the back of their jalopy except during camping trips or long drives through places with problematic access to proper accomodation. The Company also believes that a proper home can forge deeper ties between an Employee and the Company and Little Sanctuary community As such Arendtcore Minnesota provides free housing to all employees of the company or its subsidiaries (at any level of importance or job level). The following conditions must be met to access the Housing Programme. Failure to do so will result in a probationary period to gain eligibility to the Housing programme or a valid waiver to access the Housing Programme without meeting its requirements, followed by retrenchment and exile from the Little Sanctuary corporate region.

# '''2 Adults in Consenting Relationship of any close nature, or''' - The company will accept at least two consenting adults in a relationship as valid for participation in Arendtcore Housing. The main holder MUST be a Arendtcore employee, but the other adult can be either another Arendtcore employee with proof of committment of at least 2 years to a proper relationship with said adult such as boyfriend/girlfriend pairings or marriages. Children cannot be counted for the purpose of this clause, but will be taken into account when assigning housing as another member of said relationship.
# '''Bunk with at least one Familes Programme - provided unit.''' - in the event that there is only one adult in a housing unit and no other adult is available to form a relationship, the Company will require you to accept at least one Spousal unit matching your sexual preferences and Psychological Profiling / specified desired traits either for free or at additional cost depending on choosiness. You may elect to add on at least one Child Unit on top of said Spousal Unit as a long-term salary garnish option. Again, actual children in the relationship will not be accepted as counting towards the '2 Adults in a Consenting Relationship' rule.
# '''Your sexual preferences are NOT our concern. Mostly.''' - it's your life to live how you want. We do not believe in discriminatory laws and will often turn a deaf ear through the profligate use of lawyers and legal writ. If you're trans, homo, ace, pan, bi, omni, or some other color of the LGBT flag, you're welcome to find a House and be a neighbour to others, the nature of your 'Consenting Relationship' will not matter in Rule 1 as long as it is not explictly defined as illegal in Minnesota state law (which is extremely lenient and forgiving as of 2040 onwards )
# '''You will not have a say in what house or location you get (Exceptions Noted)''' - Housing is randomly alloted based on the requirements of each family, not even the top level staff of Arendtcore get to leap over the AI that makes the decisions in this matter. Exceptions MAY be granted if one can prove that the family requires it for medical or religious reasons.
# '''Quitting? Turn in your keys.''' - Any Arendtcore Employee retrenched will be granted 30 days to find a new home and job outside Little Sanctuary, or a new job within the Company for either themselves or another Adult member of the company. At the end of 30 days, any relationship grouping without any Arendtcore employment will be required to turn in their keys and find a new home and job outside of Little Sanctuary. Exceptions may be granted temporarily or otherwise for genuine medical-related unfitness to work, or need to care for at least one child under 18, or to participants granted access under the Refugee Programme clauses.
# '''No extensive renovations''' - to avoid unhappy neighbours, please clear with your Housing Programme coordinator any significant renovations you wish to make.
# '''Castle Doctrine''' - alarm systems and less-lethal repellent devices are legal for use in Little Sanctuary, and intruders may be shot with less-lethal devices of any type by the owner of the house being intruded into.
# '''We'll ask first''' - in the event that a home is required for Company purposes, the Company will give at least 7 working days of notice to the house holder. The holder may reject the request unless it is related to work-related matters during work hours. This is NOT an invite to include unreasonable requests - please alert your Housing Coordinator if you feel this clause is being abused to gain unjustified access to your home.

=== Families Programme ===
The Families Programme is a system run to help loners in Little Sanctuary meet the most basic requirement needed to access proper housing and keep Arendtcore employment in Little Sanctuary. It is NOT a dating service or whorehouse, though elements of it do actively seek to pair biological males and females together as a first preference. Our aim here is to help people forge roots to keep them in Little Sanctuary in tougher times.

Sadly, we're a bit of a sausage factory, so that isn't possible for a marked majority of our members...

# '''Try to pair up''' - Ideally, we would like actual human men and women to get to know each other and cohabitate, if not outright marry each other and start having real kids. This has always been our Priority 1, despite the major advancements in provision of our alternative choices. Demographic Collapse is real, and we are trying our best to fight it on our end, just like the rest of the world. This is one of the purposes of efforts such as company gatherings and events as well as dating circles sponsored by Arendtcore outside of the office.
# '''Failing which, would you like a spousal unit?''' - we provide a wide range of Arendtcore-engineered solutions to resolve loneliness where 100% biological cohabitation is not an option. All Arendtcore employees may access one Spousal Unit for a period of at least 50 years, including free or cheap medical care for themselves or their new loved one. This unit is provided based on a careful psychological assessment of desires and needs, in many cases can be given free of charge or at a competitive prepaid or salary garnish rate, with basic Cooking/Cleaning/Cardio/Callisthenics/Companionship/Coitus capabilities. Optionally, one may add child units as well as a low-priced ongoing salary garnish option to expand the family further.
# '''Not Necessarily human-like or Arendtcore based''' - in recent years, we have explored providing options for Spousals or Child Units that are not necessarily human-like or based primarily on Arendtcore tech or designs. If we determine that your psych profile fits such an assignment we will stretch somewhat to fill it accordingly. This includes imports from other brands, and provision of proper Medicalcare for such units. Such units will more likely be heavily subsidised as a prepaid or salary garnish option rather than free.
# '''Not a wife swap service''' - while we allow for one or two swaps initially as one finds a fitting Spousal or child unit, this is not a service that lets you change your Spousal or child units like jalopies every few years. Upgrades and aging are possible, but not swaps of units on a regular basis. Swaps of units entering the end of their support or operating life are possible, but we try to offer a seamless or less seamed transition path to newer models as much as possible.

===The Replacement Goldfish Red Flag Rule===
by Seamus Arendt

I recognise that some of you amongst our robotics order and production divisions are asking about this weird rule that is in the Company Code. Let me explain exactly why we forbid any production that replicates a person, living or otherwise, who is related in some way to the customer.

Replacement Goldfish are basically ordered to replace someone the customer may have loved. This unfortunately guarantees disappointment with the final product sooner or later. maybe it's a visual flaw, maybe it's a problem in the way they move not matching up. maybe it's a difference in the way they process and make decisions not matching up to the original.

We are not going to produce a unit that is bogged down with prior expectations. When we put a unit into the hands of a customer, it is with the expectation that it will enhance their life and provide them with some form of satisfaction for years to come. Creating a unit that is guaranteed to disappoint however hard we push the envelop on technical quality is a fool's endeavor and will do neither of those things for the customer. They say the Customer is Always Right. I need to stress that that only applies to selected aspects of the order. If that order is wrong in other ways the maxim doesn't cover, we should look out for them and advise against such orders.

If you disagree with me on a particular order, please feel free to file a protest with Legal for review, and cc a copy of it to Psychology. 9 times out of 10, I guarantee a rejection. The one time you get the go ahead, it is only because Psychology determines that the production WILL improve the customer's life contrary to usual expectations... But what I have just stated is the usual expectation, and it will stand up pretty well. Can't hurt to try asking though, we HAVE nade exceptions a few times with great care.

And that, folks, is my thought on this matter for today.

===The Demographic Disaster===
by Seamus Arendt

To understand my long-term goals in creating Arendtcore initially as a robotics company and pushing the envelope continuously on so many aspects of our products, one starts from the problem I think we all have.

Since 2040, when I was a wee laddie corralling my brotherhood of kindred in a dinky frat house in Minnesota National Institute of Technologies (MINT), there has been an ongoing demographic collapse around the world. For every 10 natural women capable of the full range of human capability including reproduction for a new generation, there are 90 men out there. In some places, this imbalance is even more out of kilter such as Little Sanctuary, Singapora, the Chinajapese Empire's holdings or even New Russia. We can see the earliest attempts to deal with this post-Despotic Years quandry in the earliest super-realistic sexdolls these places began to produce: finely sculpted, but crude effigies based on materials we would never dream of using now for their potential healthrisks or lack of durability or flexibility. But these efforts did happen, and we must acknowledge them.

Ideally, I would like to find some tech that lets us resolve this quandry - actual women with actual capabilities to love and have pregnancies balancing out this imbalance. But I've roamed the world for ages, funding various efforts. Many good and genuinely intended projects, perhaps my share of con jobs, and so far, I have to sadly admit my luck at finding a scalable solution that isn't just chucking embryos into souless artificial birthing chambers or oppressing women into becoming breeding mules has NOT matched my fervent desire to solve the demographic disaster.

In the interim, it is rather unfortunate, but I can only focus on what I ''can'' do. I can engineer stopgaps. My brother Bellamy has excelled at creating lifelike AI constructs since we partied and he needed the cash to meet his school fees and enjoy his emo music. Marcus Manners is a sculptor par excellence, and Aymee Ichigo has always been great at seeing the potential issues each of our decisions could cause - we do regret it a little that she has gone on to greater heights and left us a little blind, really.

Throw these four lunatics and a few million in inherited wealth, and what does one get? Excellence in inorganic people.

Yes, I'm aware some of our staff are women who have opted for malebots for company, and that is being addressed whenever we can by our various programmes to encourage the pairing of actual biological adults together. But that loneliness inherent in a vast majority of the global male population, our town included, needs to be temporarily subsumed by something or other or it will potentially destroy our species even faster, in my humble belief. The True American Union and Europa threw their over-population of young adult men into a destructive conflict to whittle the numbers. China and Japan going to war wasn't about land, but about attrition between men with no way to sublimate their desire for female companionship into hatred for each other's flags.

War works in the short term to address the overbias of our world towards men, but in the long run, war between our places will only kill all of us.

Frankly, I'd rather give every man someone to love instead, even if I have to resort to artificiality and pretense to ease the pain. At least that way, if the descent is inevitable, it will be a slower, more quiet death for our species. Heck, maybe I'll get lucky and the robots will replace us gradually and nothing of value will have been lost by the time they become sophisticated enough to do this exactly.

And that, folks, is my thought on this matter for today.

=== Does She(He) ''Really'' Need a Working Vagina(Penis)? ===
by Bellamy Arendt

Some folks are slightly disturbed by the fact that whenever we engineer a humanlike android, we always provide them with at least a semblance of a vagina or penis based on their designated gender, if not actual fully working (albeit non-reproductive) units. Heck, we've even gone to war with the Federals over our child units having non-functional but sculpted genitalia, though this is mainly a settled matter now.

Is this risk even necessary? Short answer: yes.

Long answer: let me explain something we really try hard to do when we make humanlike androids - we try to humanize them as much as possible. They are not your disposable plastic people. They are people who will have a life of some sort outside of their duties, and perhaps even a post-retirement phase where they find new duties to accomplish.

if that outside life includes the whole spectrum of human experience, it occurs to The Four Of Us here that denying them one of the more significant human experiences, that of procreation in a consensual relationship without coercion of power or ignorance of the facts, even with zero chances of actually creating anything more than good feelings, that itself is an absolute injustice. It draws a line between us and them, one which we are not prepared to accept when we've already going this far in realism and human-like thought.

It has always been that way since we first put together our first life-like units, and yes, again, it has gotten us into trouble before. But we haven't changed our minds for 40 years, just so you know.

We've already thrown the Feds a bone in making said stuff non functional in our Under-18 units. Do NOT expect us to go any further in cutting ourselves on this. In fact, if we somehow work out how to make androids capable of proper human reproduction, expect us to get worse - heck, we may not even publicise that until it's too late to stuff things back in the bottle.... hell, it may already be happening... don't ask for confirmation or denial on that though!

We Four have always been chaos agents, even as we settle down to make sure so many of you have a stable life in our stable. If you were expecting a more nuanced approach to the matter, you haven't been paying attention, and you're only setting up for severe disappointment with us.... We aren't offering refunds, you joined our circus knowing we were fucked up in the head on so many things. And you can file a dispute with your superiors at Office Hours on this or leave Arendtcore if it upsets you that much.

So there!

== Little Sanctuary Oddities ==
=== Local Jargon ===
As Little Sanctuary as a town has developed in ways both far ahead of its surrounding neighbouts (extremely bleeding edge tech run amok) and far behind (design cues taken from an Americana that hasn't existed for centuries), it has culturally also become a bit of a 'weird ass place'. This includes the language, which, while supposedly American English mixed from both Unions as well as the Neutral States, also acquired some pretty interesting local colloquialisms. Some of those colloquialisms have been excerpted from the local dictionary here:
* '''Fuck-Me-To-Tilt:''' Used originally by self-aware inorganics to denote sex so good for them that it causes them to temporarily enter a state of recoverable non-functionality. Has gradually also caught on with organics in Little Sanctuary for the same reasons albeit in organic terms. Contrast with: Fuck-Me-To-Scrap, Fuck-Me-To-Pieces

* '''catties:''' originally used to denote Arendtcore units based off Cyberkitty technology, which are often denoted by their being human-sized bipedal cats, often in anoraks when outdoors. Previously a slur, has been stolen by Cyberkitty culture and groupings, and more open-minded partners with prior consent for their own affectionate uses. "Yo yo yo, how me catties doing today?" "He's a cattie, but he's our cattie!"

* '''sleeper mode:''' a mode toggle on Arendtcore units (and many other competing brands) that allows a inorganic unit to operate without awareness of its true basis in circuitry and plastic rather than biological systems at a cost in increased complexity in operations and maintenance. Sometimes used as a slur to put down people considered epically stupid. e.g. "Omigod, that guy is such a idiot!" "Yeah, it's like he's on sleeper mode or some shit."

* '''The Complex''': used in a Little Sanctuary context, it can only mean one thing - The Arendtcore offices and main factory complex as located in the heart of Little Sanctuary, and the spot where many of the Original Districts that Little Sanctuary initially gathered together as a corporate town.

* '''Original Districts / OhDees : ''' The original districts that Little Sanctuary was first formed into from parts of Ohio that had voted earliest to become part of Arendtcore's corporate enclave proposal. Numbered 1-35. There has been little scope creep as newer districts have been added to the list of currently 178 districts.

* '''The Four''': refers to the original four founders of Arendtcore (as well as Little Sanctuary later on) - Marcus Manners, Aymee Ichigo, Seamus Arendt, and Bellamy Arendt.

* '''rejuve''': therapies designed to slow down or even (salacious rumor has it) reverse aging. The result is a society where one's age cannot be readily determined by one's appearance - many people look considerably younger than their actual age. Actually asking for ID to check ages for age-limited activities or purchases is a common and justified form of paranoia within Little Sanctuary.

* '''HAF''' : a drug supposedly obtained from the burning of human analogue flesh at high temperatures, meant to induce highs followed by paranoia. This claim has been disputed by Arendtcore as none of the precursors of Human Analogue Flesh have any use in any form of drug meant to induce a high.

* '''pop''': remove or slide back a cover to internals or an access panel. Not recommended outside of controlled conditions due to how it exposes delicate circuitry to the hazards offered by the world.

* '''Despo years''': refers to the Despotic Years, the years in which original America fragmented into its current condition due to despotic rule from Wash District to the East and protesting states hiving off in protest mainly in the West. The repeated nuclear incidents did not help matters.

* '''incomers''': refers to newcomers who have just made it past the gates of Little Sanctuary for long term purposes such as emigration or employment in Little Sanctuary

* '''indies''': refers to people who live in Little Sanctuary for the purpose of employment at a business not directly related to Arendtcore or its subsidiaries. As such businesses are officially not permitted to exist within Little Sanctuary, "indies" are very rare to encounter outside of very small local businesses such as grocers, hairdressers, independent fashion and artists, for whom the payment of taxes to Little Sanctuary is considered a "license fee" for limited rights to the Arendtcore brand, in order to skirt the requirement of direct employment within the Arendtcore family as a conditon to live within Little Sanctuary

* '''spousal''': refers to inorganics issued to a Arendtcore employee under the Families programme to function as a spouse (hence the term)

* '''rat''': not quite the demeaning term or yucky animal most people think of them as. Usually refers to Greater Minnesotan Rats, which when properly bred and vaccinated can function as pets or food. Much of the meat you see in Minnesota is rat. Much of the meat you see in Little Sanctuary is rat processed into a deniable state.

* '''square''': a central location for groups of several districts, where many shared facilities and shops are emplaced to both serve the districts and foster engagement and closer ties amongst residents. Often host to interesting activities such as the Charity Pie Bake Contests, the Live Art Concerns, and the Humors and Rumors news and comedy events.

* '''Five Minute Love''': a corruption of the Five Minute Hates of 1984, where one person points out something 'worth loving' and the rest of the grouping spend the next five minutes or so following on with more declarations of how it is loved, or staying silent. To protest against a FML is considered impolite in Little Sanctuary society unless the item in question is clearly the subject of much opprobium e.g. Great Leader Drurutus of the True American Union, or pineapple pizza, or even the overuse of the color blue in some districts (such as 47). Rumored to have originated as a practice on ancient social media systems.

* '''bar mitzvah/bat mitzvah''': corrupted from its original use as a Jewish celebration of a child approaching the age of reason - in Little Sanctuary this usually refers to Child Units issued under the Familites Programme celebrating reaching a major stage in their aging (9-10, 11-12, 13-15, 16-17, 18+), mainly to update others who know them of their new form and identity. Has gradually also spread to organic children, though parents in this case may not be as strict about the stages defined.

* '''Originals''': refers to people who can lay claim to being part of the first wave of people who formed Arendtcore and established Little Sanctuary.

"Wow, check out the power cells on that chick." Also see: fuel belly, charge dong.

* '''Angels''': a popular local equivalent to Hooters. Irish-American Diner theme, lots of blue and white sky colors, regular limited time specials on foods made from edible invasive species in America renamed to the same angel theming.

For some curious reason, the same three waitresses can be seen in all 6 outlets around Little Sanctuary, and multiple instances of the same waitress can even be seen next to each other occasionally.

# '''No extensive renovations''' - to avoid unhappy neighbours, please clear with your Housing Programme coordinator any significant renovations you wish to make.
# '''Castle Doctrine''' - alarm systems and less-lethal repellent devices are legal for use in Little Sanctuary, and intruders may be shot with less-lethal devices of any type by the owner of the house being intruded into.
# '''We'll ask first''' - in the event that a home is required for Company purposes, the Company will give at least 7 working days of notice to the house holder. The holder may reject the request unless it is related to work-related matters during work hours. This is NOT an invite to include unreasonable requests - please alert your Housing Coordinator if you feel this clause is being abused to gain unjustified access to your home.

=== Families Programme ===
The Families Programme is a system run to help loners in Little Sanctuary meet the most basic requirement needed to access proper housing and keep Arendtcore employment in Little Sanctuary. It is NOT a dating service or whorehouse, though elements of it do actively seek to pair biological males and females together as a first preference. Our aim here is to help people forge roots to keep them in Little Sanctuary in tougher times.

Sadly, we're a bit of a sausage factory, so that isn't possible for a marked majority of our members...

# '''Try to pair up''' - Ideally, we would like actual human men and women to get to know each other and cohabitate, if not outright marry each other and start having real kids. This has always been our Priority 1, despite the major advancements in provision of our alternative choices. Demographic Collapse is real, and we are trying our best to fight it on our end, just like the rest of the world. This is one of the purposes of efforts such as company gatherings and events as well as dating circles sponsored by Arendtcore outside of the office.
# '''Failing which, would you like a spousal unit?''' - we provide a wide range of Arendtcore-engineered solutions to resolve loneliness where 100% biological cohabitation is not an option. All Arendtcore employees may access one Spousal Unit for a period of at least 50 years, including free or cheap medical care for themselves or their new loved one. This unit is provided based on a careful psychological assessment of desires and needs, in many cases can be given free of charge or at a competitive prepaid or salary garnish rate, with basic Cooking/Cleaning/Cardio/Callisthenics/Companionship/Coitus capabilities. Optionally, one may add child units as well as a low-priced ongoing salary garnish option to expand the family further.
# '''Not Necessarily human-like or Arendtcore based''' - in recent years, we have explored providing options for Spousals or Child Units that are not necessarily human-like or based primarily on Arendtcore tech or designs. If we determine that your psych profile fits such an assignment we will stretch somewhat to fill it accordingly. This includes imports from other brands, and provision of proper Medicalcare for such units. Such units will more likely be heavily subsidised as a prepaid or salary garnish option rather than free.
# '''Not a wife swap service''' - while we allow for one or two swaps initially as one finds a fitting Spousal or child unit, this is not a service that lets you change your Spousal or child units like jalopies every few years. Upgrades and aging are possible, but not swaps of units on a regular basis. Swaps of units entering the end of their support or operating life are possible, but we try to offer a seamless or less seamed transition path to newer models as much as possible.

===The Replacement Goldfish Red Flag Rule===
by Seamus Arendt

I recognise that some of you amongst our robotics order and production divisions are asking about this weird rule that is in the Company Code. Let me explain exactly why we forbid any production that replicates a person, living or otherwise, who is related in some way to the customer.

Replacement Goldfish are basically ordered to replace someone the customer may have loved. This unfortunately guarantees disappointment with the final product sooner or later. maybe it's a visual flaw, maybe it's a problem in the way they move not matching up. maybe it's a difference in the way they process and make decisions not matching up to the original.

We are not going to produce a unit that is bogged down with prior expectations. When we put a unit into the hands of a customer, it is with the expectation that it will enhance their life and provide them with some form of satisfaction for years to come. Creating a unit that is guaranteed to disappoint however hard we push the envelop on technical quality is a fool's endeavor and will do neither of those things for the customer. They say the Customer is Always Right. I need to stress that that only applies to selected aspects of the order. If that order is wrong in other ways the maxim doesn't cover, we should look out for them and advise against such orders.

If you disagree with me on a particular order, please feel free to file a protest with Legal for review, and cc a copy of it to Psychology. 9 times out of 10, I guarantee a rejection. The one time you get the go ahead, it is only because Psychology determines that the production WILL improve the customer's life contrary to usual expectations... But what I have just stated is the usual expectation, and it will stand up pretty well. Can't hurt to try asking though, we HAVE nade exceptions a few times with great care.

And that, folks, is my thought on this matter for today.

===The Demographic Disaster===
by Seamus Arendt

To understand my long-term goals in creating Arendtcore initially as a robotics company and pushing the envelope continuously on so many aspects of our products, one starts from the problem I think we all have.

Since 2040, when I was a wee laddie corralling my brotherhood of kindred in a dinky frat house in Minnesota National Institute of Technologies (MINT), there has been an ongoing demographic collapse around the world. For every 10 natural women capable of the full range of human capability including reproduction for a new generation, there are 90 men out there. In some places, this imbalance is even more out of kilter such as Little Sanctuary, Singapora, the Chinajapese Empire's holdings or even New Russia. We can see the earliest attempts to deal with this post-Despotic Years quandry in the earliest super-realistic sexdolls these places began to produce: finely sculpted, but crude effigies based on materials we would never dream of using now for their potential healthrisks or lack of durability or flexibility. But these efforts did happen, and we must acknowledge them.

Ideally, I would like to find some tech that lets us resolve this quandry - actual women with actual capabilities to love and have pregnancies balancing out this imbalance. But I've roamed the world for ages, funding various efforts. Many good and genuinely intended projects, perhaps my share of con jobs, and so far, I have to sadly admit my luck at finding a scalable solution that isn't just chucking embryos into souless artificial birthing chambers or oppressing women into becoming breeding mules has NOT matched my fervent desire to solve the demographic disaster.

In the interim, it is rather unfortunate, but I can only focus on what I ''can'' do. I can engineer stopgaps. My brother Bellamy has excelled at creating lifelike AI constructs since we partied and he needed the cash to meet his school fees and enjoy his emo music. Marcus Manners is a sculptor par excellence, and Aymee Ichigo has always been great at seeing the potential issues each of our decisions could cause - we do regret it a little that she has gone on to greater heights and left us a little blind, really.

Throw these four lunatics and a few million in inherited wealth, and what does one get? Excellence in inorganic people.

Yes, I'm aware some of our staff are women who have opted for malebots for company, and that is being addressed whenever we can by our various programmes to encourage the pairing of actual biological adults together. But that loneliness inherent in a vast majority of the global male population, our town included, needs to be temporarily subsumed by something or other or it will potentially destroy our species even faster, in my humble belief. The True American Union and Europa threw their over-population of young adult men into a destructive conflict to whittle the numbers. China and Japan going to war wasn't about land, but about attrition between men with no way to sublimate their desire for female companionship into hatred for each other's flags.

War works in the short term to address the overbias of our world towards men, but in the long run, war between our places will only kill all of us.

Frankly, I'd rather give every man someone to love instead, even if I have to resort to artificiality and pretense to ease the pain. At least that way, if the descent is inevitable, it will be a slower, more quiet death for our species. Heck, maybe I'll get lucky and the robots will replace us gradually and nothing of value will have been lost by the time they become sophisticated enough to do this exactly.

And that, folks, is my thought on this matter for today.

=== Does She(He) ''Really'' Need a Working Vagina(Penis)? ===
by Bellamy Arendt

Some folks are slightly disturbed by the fact that whenever we engineer a humanlike android, we always provide them with at least a semblance of a vagina or penis based on their designated gender, if not actual fully working (albeit non-reproductive) units. Heck, we've even gone to war with the Federals over our child units having non-functional but sculpted genitalia, though this is mainly a settled matter now.

Is this risk even necessary? Short answer: yes.

Long answer: let me explain something we really try hard to do when we make humanlike androids - we try to humanize them as much as possible. They are not your disposable plastic people. They are people who will have a life of some sort outside of their duties, and perhaps even a post-retirement phase where they find new duties to accomplish.

if that outside life includes the whole spectrum of human experience, it occurs to The Four Of Us here that denying them one of the more significant human experiences, that of procreation in a consensual relationship without coercion of power or ignorance of the facts, even with zero chances of actually creating anything more than good feelings, that itself is an absolute injustice. It draws a line between us and them, one which we are not prepared to accept when we've already going this far in realism and human-like thought.

It has always been that way since we first put together our first life-like units, and yes, again, it has gotten us into trouble before. But we haven't changed our minds for 40 years, just so you know.

We've already thrown the Feds a bone in making said stuff non functional in our Under-18 units. Do NOT expect us to go any further in cutting ourselves on this. In fact, if we somehow work out how to make androids capable of proper human reproduction, expect us to get worse - heck, we may not even publicise that until it's too late to stuff things back in the bottle.... hell, it may already be happening... don't ask for confirmation or denial on that though!

We Four have always been chaos agents, even as we settle down to make sure so many of you have a stable life in our stable. If you were expecting a more nuanced approach to the matter, you haven't been paying attention, and you're only setting up for severe disappointment with us.... We aren't offering refunds, you joined our circus knowing we were fucked up in the head on so many things. And you can file a dispute with your superiors at Office Hours on this or leave Arendtcore if it upsets you that much.

== Little Sanctuary Oddities ==
=== Local Jargon ===
As Little Sanctuary as a town has developed in ways both far ahead of its surrounding neighbouts (extremely bleeding edge tech run amok) and far behind (design cues taken from an Americana that hasn't existed for centuries), it has culturally also become a bit of a 'weird ass place'. This includes the language, which, while supposedly American English mixed from both Unions as well as the Neutral States, also acquired some pretty interesting local colloquialisms. Some of those colloquialisms have been excerpted from the local dictionary here:
* '''Fuck-Me-To-Tilt:''' Used originally by self-aware inorganics to denote sex so good for them that it causes them to temporarily enter a state of recoverable non-functionality. Has gradually also caught on with organics in Little Sanctuary for the same reasons albeit in organic terms. Contrast with: Fuck-Me-To-Scrap, Fuck-Me-To-Pieces

* '''catties:''' originally used to denote Arendtcore units based off Cyberkitty technology, which are often denoted by their being human-sized bipedal cats, often in anoraks when outdoors. Previously a slur, has been stolen by Cyberkitty culture and groupings, and more open-minded partners with prior consent for their own affectionate uses. "Yo yo yo, how me catties doing today?" "He's a cattie, but he's our cattie!"

* '''sleeper mode:''' a mode toggle on Arendtcore units (and many other competing brands) that allows a inorganic unit to operate without awareness of its true basis in circuitry and plastic rather than biological systems at a cost in increased complexity in operations and maintenance. Sometimes used as a slur to put down people considered epically stupid. e.g. "Omigod, that guy is such a idiot!" "Yeah, it's like he's on sleeper mode or some shit."

* '''The Complex''': used in a Little Sanctuary context, it can only mean one thing - The Arendtcore offices and main factory complex as located in the heart of Little Sanctuary, and the spot where many of the Original Districts that Little Sanctuary initially gathered together as a corporate town.

* '''Original Districts / OhDees : ''' The original districts that Little Sanctuary was first formed into from parts of Ohio that had voted earliest to become part of Arendtcore's corporate enclave proposal. Numbered 1-35. There has been little scope creep as newer districts have been added to the list of currently 178 districts.

* '''The Four''': refers to the original four founders of Arendtcore (as well as Little Sanctuary later on) - Marcus Manners, Aymee Ichigo, Seamus Arendt, and Bellamy Arendt.

* '''rejuve''': therapies designed to slow down or even (salacious rumor has it) reverse aging. The result is a society where one's age cannot be readily determined by one's appearance - many people look considerably younger than their actual age. Actually asking for ID to check ages for age-limited activities or purchases is a common and justified form of paranoia within Little Sanctuary.

* '''HAF''' : a drug supposedly obtained from the burning of human analogue flesh at high temperatures, meant to induce highs followed by paranoia. This claim has been disputed by Arendtcore as none of the precursors of Human Analogue Flesh have any use in any form of drug meant to induce a high.

* '''pop''': remove or slide back a cover to internals or an access panel. Not recommended outside of controlled conditions due to how it exposes delicate circuitry to the hazards offered by the world.

* '''Despo years''': refers to the Despotic Years, the years in which original America fragmented into its current condition due to despotic rule from Wash District to the East and protesting states hiving off in protest mainly in the West. The repeated nuclear incidents did not help matters.

* '''incomers''': refers to newcomers who have just made it past the gates of Little Sanctuary for long term purposes such as emigration or employment in Little Sanctuary

* '''indies''': refers to people who live in Little Sanctuary for the purpose of employment at a business not directly related to Arendtcore or its subsidiaries. As such businesses are officially not permitted to exist within Little Sanctuary, "indies" are very rare to encounter outside of very small local businesses such as grocers, hairdressers, independent fashion and artists, for whom the payment of taxes to Little Sanctuary is considered a "license fee" for limited rights to the Arendtcore brand, in order to skirt the requirement of direct employment within the Arendtcore family as a conditon to live within Little Sanctuary

* '''spousal''': refers to inorganics issued to a Arendtcore employee under the Families programme to function as a spouse (hence the term)

* '''rat''': not quite the demeaning term or yucky animal most people think of them as. Usually refers to Greater Minnesotan Rats, which when properly bred and vaccinated can function as pets or food. Much of the meat you see in Minnesota is rat. Much of the meat you see in Little Sanctuary is rat processed into a deniable state.

* '''square''': a central location for groups of several districts, where many shared facilities and shops are emplaced to both serve the districts and foster engagement and closer ties amongst residents. Often host to interesting activities such as the Charity Pie Bake Contests, the Live Art Concerns, and the Humors and Rumors news and comedy events.

* '''Five Minute Love''': a corruption of the Five Minute Hates of 1984, where one person points out something 'worth loving' and the rest of the grouping spend the next five minutes or so following on with more declarations of how it is loved, or staying silent. To protest against a FML is considered impolite in Little Sanctuary society unless the item in question is clearly the subject of much opprobium e.g. Great Leader Drurutus of the True American Union, or pineapple pizza, or even the overuse of the color blue in some districts (such as 47). Rumored to have originated as a practice on ancient social media systems.

* '''bar mitzvah/bat mitzvah''': corrupted from its original use as a Jewish celebration of a child approaching the age of reason - in Little Sanctuary this usually refers to Child Units issued under the Familites Programme celebrating reaching a major stage in their aging (9-10, 11-12, 13-15, 16-17, 18+), mainly to update others who know them of their new form and identity. Has gradually also spread to organic children, though parents in this case may not be as strict about the stages defined.

* '''Originals''': refers to people who can lay claim to being part of the first wave of people who formed Arendtcore and established Little Sanctuary.

* '''fibrovasculars/fibros''': a term that has entered popular usage somehow, despite being a very technical term. Refers to the elements that make up the iris and provide its color in organics originally, now refers to the entire iris of an eye. "That girl has some amazing deep blue fibros." Has been partially corrupted by the introduction of false similar elements into visual sensors intended to be lifelike.

* '''power cells''': corrupted by the regular use of breasts in female organic units as power storage volumes, now refers as slang to boobs on female inorganics or organics now except when otherwise clearly indicated. "Wow, check out the power cells on that chick." Also see: fuel belly, charge dong.

* '''Angels''': a popular local equivalent to Hooters. Irish-American Diner theme, lots of blue and white sky colors, regular limited time specials on foods made from edible invasive species in America renamed to the same angel theming. Also refers to its waitresses in subtly skimpy angel-themed dress outfits. For some curious reason, the same three waitresses can be seen in all 6 outlets around Little Sanctuary, and multiple instances of the same waitress can even be seen next to each other occasionally. The mananagement siply explains this peculiar occurence as "they just want to be with all of you at once", but this is more likely to be due to the use of template-based waitress androids.

* '''Former Child Unit''': refers to Child Units that have been gradually aged into adulthood (presenting as 18 or older) and qualifying for the privileges and responsibilites of normal adulthood within Little Sanctuary society, including registration as a new generation of Spousal Units

* '''Lastditch (without the space)''': Refers to the LASTDITCH Project, a last effort to build a realistic lifelike android funded on the last dollars that Arendtcorp had at one point in time that proved wildly successful and revitalized the company into a massively acquisitional coglomerate. See also: Final Fantasy, Hail Mary Plays, Success Or Bust

* '''Holograph''': the use of lasers to produce an image in midair. In Little Sanctuary, refers to inorganics whose main appearance is projected by a holographic emitter rather than being based in actual physical matter.

* '''Ciphers''': a corruption of the word Cy-Fur, referring to Arendtcore's growiing range of androids based off stylised bipedal animals. Groups with heavily specific focuses may opt to use a different slang to refer to themselves (e.g. catties, woozies, burrs)

* '''Nothing to the East, Nothing to the West''': a mentality espoused by certain dumber descendants of earlier generations to settle in Little Sanctuary. The continued intake of new talent and ideas into, and continued journeys and exports from Little Sanctuary only disproves this generally-frowned-upon philosophy.

* '''sixie''': slang, denotes an inorganic based on a platform that allows reversible disassembly into six or more discrete pieces (hence the terming) for the purposes of easier transport and storage. Used to be a slur denoting lower intellect as many such platforms used to house lower computational power, obsoleted by recent advances in computing power on such systems.

* '''brought my wife to a gun fight''': corruption of 'bring a knife to a gun fight'. References the awkward reality that some newly immigrated members into Little Sanctuary did not come from peaceful places, and is a warning not to underestimate or bring strife to immigrants from other places because they may literally be packing a wife with actual cannons built in or other survival skills designed to cause regret.
