Attacks/ Powers: Twin IR-Mark Plasma Cannons (damage 8, range 100, capacity 200, inflicts aggravated damage; can perform the automatic fire, multiple shots, three round bursts, and two-weapons maneuvers, with no penalty for using two weapons); large claws (13 dice, lethal damage); and usual capacity to use normal human-sized gear and hypertech. The large size of Mark IX units, however, means that firearm trigger-guards must be modified to fit the huge fingers of the HIT Mark unit; without such modifications, most guns are too small for a Mark IX to employ. (Even then, they easily break such weapons by squeezing the triggers too hard; on a botched roll, the gun gets broken.)
Outside Technocratic facilities or Realms, Mark IX units are Paradox magnets. The moment a Mark IX unveils its plasma cannons in a typical Earth consensus environment, count that HIT Mark as having an immediate eight points of Paradox… and the Cannons are, of course, vulgar Forces/ Prime Effects. Even without the plasma cannons, a Mark IX in combat is clearly too strong and tough to be human. Each turn a Mark IX fights in clear view of Sleeper witnesses, it gains one point of Paradox.
A Mark IX that loses its last Health Level automatically self-destructs. Technocratic technicians can also set one to self-destruct if it’s captured or incapacitated. Normally, this self-destruct function just melts and fuses all internal components; however, a technician can also cause the Mark IX to explode, inflicting 8 dice of lethal damage upon everyone within four yards of the Mark IX.
Countermagick: 4 dice of Primium countermeasures.
