Guard UltimateGatecrasher JoseCabrera

Everyone knows that synthmorphs are tougher and better equipped for serious combat than biomorphs. However, many people in the inner system are not comfortable with using hulking synthmorphs as bodyguards or security personnel. Instead, some choose this subtle and extremely deadly alternative. This morph’s enhanced senses allow it to more easily detect any threats to the person the user is guarding, and the built-in weaponry and moderate armor make it highly resistant to damage. The synthetic mask disguises it quite effectively as an olympian or fury morph.

|Eludere: Last op I was on, we had to arrange a private conversation with a triad boss. His three sylph companions turned out to be guards who put up a lot more of a fight than we expected. Our quiet snatch job turned into a shredded club and loads of collateral damage. Had to resleeve two of my team. Lesson learned: scan those bodyguards thoroughly next time.
Pivo: The trick to spotting a shell with a synthetic mask is to really take a look at the thermal signature. On a close analysis, you’ll find hot and cold spots that deviate from standard biomorph sigs. They did a pretty great job getting it right on these guard morphs, though it depends on the manufacturer and model.
