anging from detecting infections and administering concentrated antibiotics to basic treatment ofinjuries to advanced operations such as appendectomies, laparoscopic ablations and Caesarian sections.Directions were given over a voice input system.The device was mounted on an adjustable titanium base and had an operating table equipped withan airtight operating shield as its central element. An arch structure mounted over the table housedvital sign sensors. Integrated medical devices included computer-controlled robotic arms, a laserscalpel system directed by a 3D anatomical scanner and a liquid spray anesthetic. If necessary, thepatient could be fixated with comfortable limb restraints. A major drawback of the MedPod 70i wasthe fact that it had to be calibrated to a specific gender and the automatic systems would not complywith a gender the device was not set up for. However, one was able to override the gender setting byspecifying the request in a gender-neutral manner. (PR, PR:PM, PR:WIW)Mechtech: An android manufacturer in business during the 23 rd century.

(A:NE)Millburn: A male human and a biologist who was part of the Prometheus mission in 2093. Had anoutgoing, carefree character.When Millburn was briefed about the mission objective after the Prometheus had reached LV-223,he was initially skeptic of the notion that extraterrestrial beings may have influenced the evolutionof life. Millburn was among the first scouting party that explored the pyramid found on the moon'ssurface. After the team had found the remnants of a decapitated Engineer, Millburn quickly grewdisturbed and took the opportunity to prematurely return to the Prometheus together with the geologistFifield. However, the two scientists got lost on their way back and were forced to remain in thefacility overnight due to a storm raging over the site. During their further exploration, Millburn andFifield discovered more dead Engineers and the remnants of skin shed by a Hammerpede. Eventually,they ended up back in the room where the team had found the Black Goo Ampules. There, theyencountered two Hammerpede creatures. In a fatal lapse of judgment, Millburn approached one ofthe creatures, only to be attacked by it. After wrapping around his arm, the Hammerpede broke thebiologist's arm, creating a hole in his suit through which the creature entered Millburn's mouth, suffocatinghim in the process.

(PR:WIW)Morse, Robert: A male human and one of the prisoners involved in the Fury 16 incident takingplace in 2179. Had a cynical character and sported many gold teeth as a trademark. Was a firm believerin the cult that had formed among the inmates during the years preceding the Fury 16 incidentand the only friend of Golic.When Ripley was salvaged from the crashed EEV and brought to the penal colony, Morse reactedwith resentment to the news, invoking his vow of celibacy. Even as the Xenomorph threat becameknown, he blamed Ripley for bringing the creature to them and at first refused to help. He latermade the mistake of releasing Golic from the infirmary, inadvertently causing the Alien to be freedby his insane friend. Although he would have preferred to dig in and wait for the Weyland-Yutaniteam to arrive and finish off the Xenomorph, he eventually became the first one who agreed to participatein Dillon's and Ripley's plan to trap the Alien in the blast furnace. By this time, Morse hadcome to terms with Ripley and grown to respect her for her determination to prevent the Alien fromkilling more of the prisoners. Even though he was injured by a gunshot from one of the Weyland-Yutani soldiers, he was able to bring the catwalk in place for Ripley to let herself fall into the furnaceand kill off the Queen embryo with her. Morse was the only survivor of the incident afterwhich he was presumably relocated to another prison. Some time after the incident, Morse wrotedown an account of the incident and distributed it in an unknown quantity. Although his accountwas officially banned, copies of the text still existed in the 24 th century.

Usually ahigh-powered ultra-sound scanner using doppler-shift discrimination to distinguish moving elementsfrom stationary ones. The range of a motion tracker can vary from up to 20 meters on handhelddevices to up to 1000 meters on perimeter-mounted trackers. The method of feedback also varies,from a simple sound-based system to computer displays delivering detailed information aboutthe position and movement of an object. As motion trackers are vulnerable to environmental inter-
