This is my attempt to create a pod morph worthy of a PC. I'm posting this before I head off to boardgaming. Currently this is a very rough draft which I hope to add to and refine later. Barreloid (Pod Morph) Billed as a modular bio-synthetic chassis the barreloid pod is one of the most mainstream and popular of LCDesigns offerings. The morph is designed to accept a variety of 'modules' or attachments allowing it to fulfill a variety of roles. Like most of LCDesign morphs the company generally grows/builds the morph in its own factories and ships to the client rather than give away trade secrets by simply sending blueprints. Still the company includes an extensive library of data on the morph for its buyers to allow them to customize and build their own unique 'add-ons'. Without any attachment it resembles nothing more than barrel of tough rubbery flesh with five large cybernetic sockets circling partially hidden by protective flaps. Its midsection and capped by rings of cybernetic sensors providing 360 degrees of vision and below those rings of other sensory organs. Inside the rings on either end there is a hollow with more than a dozen smaller cybernetic sockets. The hollow can be closed off with muscular flaps that can also serve as slightly clumsy fine manipulators in a pinch. Without any attachments the morph has little ability other than to roll itself along the ground in low to moderate gravity. Normally these pods are sold with five thick tentacle-like legs, each equipped with grip pads, that attach to the five ports around its midsection and an array of fine manipulator tentacles that fit into either end of the barrel. The morph's nervous system is designed to accept two cyberbrains making use of a form of Ego Sharing (see Rimward pg186), though it normally only ships with one. On the barrel ends the standard morph ships with four fine manipulation tentacles, one of which containing cybernetic fractal digit manipulators, and two sensory "eyestalks" each with sight, nanoscopic vision, hearing and smell sensory organs. With the ability to add more nano-manipulating tentacles this morph has some popularity in nanotech labs.
