PER Unit

Preprocessing Existential Reaping units (colloquially known by their abbreviated nickname, PER units) are a type of automaton designed, manufactured, and utilized by the Outer Autismax.

PER units are deployed within the walls of the Detrimentus Perimeter, a massive facility containing the Sublime Detrimentus and the Detrimentus pit. PER units are designed for and fielded to harvest any newborn Autistic Deities which crawl out of the Detrimentus pit, and are tasked with harvesting them and transporting them to Conditioning Hatcheries.

PER units are derived from ER units, and are distinguished from their more military-oriented cousins by their nonlethal weaponry and the components that glow with Autistic energy - purple signifying a low power level, with red signifying a high power level -.

Functionality
PER units are a relatively unknown phenomenon to the general public of the Outer Autismax, and are fielded solely in an agricultural role. PER units are exclusively seen within the inner walls of the Detrimentus Perimeter, patrolling around the Detrimentus pit and harvesting newborn Autistic Deities. PER units are outfitted with nonlethal DAKKA (Dildonic Anti-Killing Kewl-ass Actuator) stun blasters to immobilize any Deities attempting to flee from them.

PER unit subtypes are identified by their outward appearance and abilities, and are formally identified via their model numbers and assigned nicknames. PER units fall under two main subclasses:
 * H0L3 - "PeePER" - A tall machine balanced on long, stilt-like legs, the PeePER is a modified version of an existing PER unit, the A55 "SlappER". The PeePER is not capable of harvesting newborn Deities, though it excels at weeding them out and alerting nearby GroPER units due to it's sophisticated sensor technology.
 * T1T - "GroPER" - A stout crab-like machine, the GroPER is equipped with two grasping claws and a stasis cage on it's back. Slower than it's taller PeePER cousin, the GroPER specializes in being called to locations by PeePER units in order to harvest any newborn Autistic Deities that have been discovered. It is also the PER unit responsible for delivering captured Deities to the Hatcheries.
