    <strong>Model Ten</strong>?


    <strong>Enemy ssification:</strong> Hive Caretaker / Low-Threat / Structural Support


    <strong>Elimination Reward:</strong> 1 Point


    <strong>Model Description:</strong> Model Tens are small, child-sized entities with a distinctive monkey-like appearance and six identical limbs, each ending in a hand equipped with three fingers and two thumbs. A unique de extends from the back of each hand, utilised primarily in their role as caretakers and gardeners within the hive. Despitecking a conventional head, these models are effective in their tasks, focusing on the pruning and maintenance necessary for the hive''s growth and adaptation. They are not built for speed butpensate with surprising strength, making them robust workers essential to the hive''s early and ongoing development.

    <strong>Threat Analysis Report: Model Ten</strong>


    <strong>Threat Rating:</strong> Low<strong>Overview</strong>


    Model Tens are integral to the structural and environmental maintenance of the hive. While they pose little direct threat due to theirck ofbat capabilities, their role in supporting the hive''s infrastructure makes them crucial for the Antithesis''s sustainability and expansion.


    <strong>Threat Capabilities</strong>


    <strong>Structural Maintenance:</strong> Model Tens are responsible for the physical upkeep of the hive, ensuring that it remains adaptable and resilient against both environmental and man-made threats.


    <strong>Resource Management:</strong> Their activities help optimise the hive''s resource usage, contributing to the efficiency of other models and the overall ecosystem of the hive.


    <strong>Adaptability:</strong> Despite theirck of speed, the strength and multipurpose functionality of their limbs allow them to perform a wide range of tasks essential for hive sustainability.


    <strong>Survivability:</strong> Model Tens are hardy, capable of operating under various environmental conditions which ensures their utility throughout the hive''s life cycle.


    <strong>Strategic Threat Assessment</strong>


    <strong>Containment Difficulty: </strong>Low. Model Tens are not equipped with mechanisms for evasion or defence, making them easy targets if isted from the hive.


    <strong>Military and Civilian Risk: </strong>Very Low. They are not designed forbat and pose no direct threat to human forces or civilians.


    <strong>Potential for Expansion:</strong> High. By maintaining and expanding hive infrastructure, Model Tens y a passive but crucial role in the Antithesis''s territorial and biological expansion.


    <strong>Mitigation Strategies</strong>


    <strong>Surveince and Containment:</strong> Monitoring hive areas where Model Tens are active can provide insights into theyout and vulnerabilities of Antithesis structures.


    <strong>Targeted Disruptions:</strong> Disrupting the activities of Model Tens can slow hive growth and adaptation, potentially making the entire structure more vulnerable to attack.


    <strong>Research and Development:</strong> Studying their role and biology can yield methods to destabilise the hive ecosystem without direct confrontation.


    <strong>Conclusion</strong>


    Model Tens, while notbatants, are fundamental to the Antithesis''s operational capacity. Disrupting their work can indirectly weaken the hive, making them strategic targets in efforts to curb the spread of the Antithesis.

    <strong>Subject: Model Ten Behavioral Analysis</strong>


    <strong>Start of Transcript.</strong>


    <strong>Dr. Evelyn Hargrove:</strong> "Recording now. Observing the Model Tens in their natural environment provides fascinating insights into themunal and cooperative structures of the Antithesis. Despite their simple tasks, theplexity of their interactions and the precision of their movements suggest a highly developed, albeit specialised, form of intelligence."

    [Sound of notes being scribbled]


    <strong>Dr. Evelyn Hargrove:</strong> "Each Model Ten is equipped with a de on the back of their hands, which they use with surprising skill to prune and manipte their environment. This not only supports the hive structurally but also seems to y a role in controlling the internal climate and resource distribution. They''re like... littleb assistants, but without all of theining, evem when they get sshed with a bit of unidentified antithesis juice."


    [A saw buzzes for some time.]


    <strong>Dr. Evelyn Hargrove:</strong> "Muscle density is pretty high, and their bones are almost bird-like in the way that they''re hollow. They guys are light and strong. I''m surprised they haven''t seen anybat use outside ofst lines of defence. Also, their brains are quiterge and dense. I suspect these guys are a lot smarter than we give them credit for."


    [Recording ends]


    <strong>Dr. Evelyn Hargrove:</strong> "In conclusion, while they might seem mundanepared to other models, the Model Tens are pivotal in maintaining the operational efficiency of the hive. Disrupting their routine could have disproportionate effects on the hive''s stability."

    <strong>Addendum M10-4:</strong> Incident Report: Hive Copse Due to Model Ten Disruption


    Date: [Redacted]


    <strong>Incident Summary:</strong>


    An idental disruption in the routines of Model Ten units at an Antithesis site led to a partial structural copse of the hive. This incident urred during a routine operation aimed at nting surveince devices. The interference caused the Model Tens to abandon their tasks, resulting in rapid deterioration of critical support structures and subsequent resource mismanagement. This unintended experiment has highlighted the pivotal role these units y in maintaining the structural integrity and operational efficiency of the hive.


    <strong>Addendum M10-5:</strong> Experimental Strategy: Model Ten Mimicry


    Following observations of the crucial roles yed by Model Tens, a proposal has been made to develop robotic mimics that could infiltrate hives by emting the appearance and behaviours of Model Tens. These mimics would carry sensors and disruptors designed to subtly interfere with the hive''s operations without alerting other models to their presence. Early designs and tests are underway, focusing on mobility and the integration of de-like tools that match those of the Model Tens.


    <strong>Addendum M10-5b:</strong> Experimental Strategy: Model Ten Mimicry


    Operation cancelled.


    Antithesis hives noticed the intrusion immediately. Even mimics that our AI couldn''t identify as anything but a Model Ten were immediately noticed and destroyed.


    <strong>Addendum M10-6:</strong> Note on Ethical Considerations


    Ethical discussions have emerged regarding the treatment and consideration of Model Tens during Antithesis containment and neutralisation operations. Given their nonbative nature and essential role in the ecological bnce of the hive, questions have been raised about the morality of targeting these units. Ongoing debates focus on the bnce between military necessity and the ethical implications of disrupting what are essentially maintenance workers within the Antithesis ecosystem.


    Such debates are to be suppressed, degraded, and censored.
