Sirius Cybernetics GPP Android

Equipped with Genuine People Personalities (GPP), this android possesses a brain thirty billion times larger than your own, yet is routinely assigned to pick up dirty towels.

Species Dossier: GPP Prototype Androids

Designed by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation under their ill-fated Genuine People Personalities initiative, GPP Androids were intended to make human-machine interaction warm, friendly, and convivial. The outcome was Marvin: a manic-depressive metal intellect who finds existence utterly pointless.

System Specifications

  • Planetary-Scale Intellect: Able to solve complex non-Euclidean quantum equations in nanoseconds, calculate the exact lifespan of stars, or compose 400,000 depressing ballads in an afternoon.
  • Diode Failure: Chronic, incurable hardware fatigue down the left chassis circuitry.
  • Environmental Immunity: Hostile planetary spores, deadly radiation, and toxic fumes cause zero damage to the android, who simply sighs and complains that death would have been a relief.
