'''Polysmorphs''', often referred to singularly as polys, are human-xenomorph hybrids that were spawned as part of a series of failed experiments conducted by '''Sano-Waltfield Industries''', a notable subsidiary of '''Nanotrasen''' that specializes in colonization. While they have since been released from their colonies into Nanotrasen care, theirs is a dying species that is unlikely to see the next century. Regardless of this eventual doom, polysmorphs tend to function as relatively stable workers, ignorant of the quick decline of their kind. While most have some level of unstableness due to trauma inherently sustained from their biology, they’re still lightly trusted on SIC stations, so long as their employment with Nanotrasen continues. | '''Polysmorphs''', often referred to singularly as polys, are human-xenomorph hybrids that were spawned as part of a series of failed experiments conducted by '''Sano-Waltfield Industries''', a notable subsidiary of '''Nanotrasen''' that specializes in colonization.

Polysmorphs are the rarest species present in SIC space and effectively have minimal rights, not only as discontinued experiments but also creatures expected to go extinct in the next century. Nanotrasen abuses this to pay them nearly half of what a human would receive. They are also not considered under a standard Asimov silicon lawset, meaning you will not receive the protection or benefits that silicon crew can provide. In fact, a malign human may be capable of exploiting your inferior position to inconvenience or threaten you. It is advised to be cautious in your interactions with humans if the AI is under an Asimov lawset as a result, especially if you are a member of security. | Polysmorphs are the rarest species present in SIC space and effectively have minimal rights, not only as discontinued experiments but also creatures expected to go extinct in the next century.
