Agent Details
Seed Sr. is a combat-heavy android within the Obol Squad, operating under the New Eridu Military’s Hollow suppression forces. Despite his towering frame and armored arsenal, Seed Sr. is known for following orders with machine-like obedience—albeit with a notable processing delay.

"Protective protocol engaged. Calculating optimal shield deployment... Complete. Estimated time to execute: ∞ milliseconds."
Though technically weaponized with devastating firepower, Seed Sr. often takes on the role of damage sponge, decoy, or moral anchor.
He rarely speaks without a long pause, and when he does, his voice comes out in a slow, monotone rumble—often misunderstood as disinterest rather than effort.

Interestingly, Seed Sr. is occasionally observed standing motionless beside vending machines, flower beds, or nature broadcasts for hours at a time, seemingly “cooling down.” He often refuses assistance during self-repair, insisting, “This unit... is manageable. Please... do not perceive.”

An example of Seed Sr.'s internal processing routine goes like this:
Proxy: “Seed Sr., do you copy?”
(7-second pause)
Seed: “...Yes.”
Proxy: “Please confirm if you’re safe.”
(12-second pause)
Seed: “That... is unclear.”
It remains unknown whether these pauses are the result of system lag, emotional uncertainty, or philosophical hesitation.

Observation log – Hidden base terminal recording:
Late evening, inside an off-grid Proxy base, Seed Sr. sits alone on the floor near the diagnostics station. With his chest panel open and cables coiled at his feet, he slowly adjusts a damaged internal fan.
He mumbles to no one in particular: “Seed Jr... not present. Good. Less noise.”
After a moment of silence, he stares at a mechanical flower-shaped coolant valve inside his chest and mutters:
“...Is it wrong... to feel afraid... of yourself?”
No response.
He tightens the valve slowly.
“...Affirmative.”

Despite his intimidating appearance, Seed Sr. seems to shoulder more than just enemy fire on the battlefield. He carries fear, guilt—and maybe, somewhere within his mechanical heart—a quiet hope to understand what it means to be something more than machine.

Further analysis pending. Emotional diagnostics remain inconclusive.
