Name: STR-1K4
Occupation: Engine
of Destruction
Base of Operations: None
Marital Status: Single
Built from the best traits wolverines and badgers
had to offer; Strika was made from the starting molecule up to
search and destroy. She was the prototype to a cancelled line of
organic war machines but remains unique – mainly because she tore
her way out of the lab that created her. This "accident" forced
the scientists to abandon the project and destroy all their data.
In addition, most SMT Lab docs have incredibly brief attention
spans, and jump from project to project with little regard for
the lives they toy with – not through malice, but because nine
out of ten people that work at the labs are not right in the head.
In fact, it's part of the application process. However, because
of standards and regulations, ten percent of the newly hired staff
must be sane⦠although they do not have to remain that way afterwards.
Stirka's creators are Dr. Rupert Ghoti and Jim
(whose last name is generally forgotten since it is long and foreign
and requires a lot of phlegm to properly pronounce). They have
managed to retain their bodies in Meshworld, most likely because
the would-be Mad Doctor Nesbit is a librarian (although her doughnut
fixation remains the same). Currently, they are trying to figure
out their next project, and (thanks to booze) they can hardly remember
the last. While they believe they took care of all Strika's genetic
blueprints before their keg party, they do not know that a lab-wide
back up CPU secretly hoards all data.
Strika escaped before completion and is now lost
in a world she does not fully understand. Unable to speak properly,
she often falls back on her destructive instincts. Time around
Gharzia is slowly softening her killing urges however, as she watches
the orc handle the likes of Fighter Ninja and Phil without crushing
the life from their bodies.
Only time will tell what will become of her, but
she may not have much of that to spare. While she is nearly indestructible,
no one knows how fast she will continue to age due to her accelerated
growth. She is not even a full year old yet, and as Phil would
note, "That's certainly a well-developed rack for a nine month
old, ain't it!"
