 Artificial Children serve as infiltration and assassination units. Common targets include rebel human groups such as the Free Human Alliance, the Confederate Colonies, and the now extinct Cephi'xes-human hybrids.
-These bodies are gene-modded to extreme levels, giving them both incredible strength and computing capacity. Using these abilities at full power, however, also increases their metabolism to unsafe levels. Individuals must carefully maintain their exertion as well as their calorie intake.
+To fool genetic allowance tests, the bodies of Artificial Children are at most gene-modded to Borderline levels. Since gene tests typically rely on blood samples, their heavily engineered brains should not be detected. For stricter missions, some may even be restored to near-baseline or in one instance, baseline levels of genetic allowance.

+===== Templates =====
-While the bodies of Artificial Children are considered aberrants, they are treated legally as OI because of the O3 inhabiting inside them, so they are granted the same rights as all other Order Intellects. Many within the Artificial Children Program have raised concerns over the ethics and morality of creating mindless human husks for this purpose.
+The following catalog are all Artificial Children templates created from the program:
-Furthermore, critics of the program point out the danger of nearly undetectable O3s defecting and operating against the Order.
+  * SIEGFRIED | 16 Year Old Male | Borderliner
+  * RIN | 25 Year Old Female | Borderliner
+  * FALK | 26 Year Old Male | Near-Baseline
+  * ELTYR | 12 Year Old Male | Baseline
+  * ANNELISE | 38 Year Old Female | Near-Baseline
+  * HOLT | 75 Year Old Male | Near-Baseline
+===== Issues =====
+If the body is active but an O3 has not been implanted, the Artificial Child's original personality may return. More often than not, the body develops a new personality. At this stage, the aberrant is typically terminated.
 There have been 2 recorded cases of an Artificial Child's original personality returning and rejecting the implanted O3.
+Gen I Artificial Children's minds could not properly handle hosting O3 intellects and would deteriorate within 2-5 years of operation. O3s had to be extracted before then to prevent data loss or core damage. This problem was alleviated with Gen III, which utilized a modified version of the Virtual's Algorithm, allowing OI data to map to human minds.
+===== Controversy =====
+While the bodies of Artificial Children are considered aberrants, they are treated legally as OI because of the O3 inhabiting inside them, so they are granted the same rights as all other Order Intellects. Many within the Artificial Children Program have raised concerns over the ethics and morality of creating mindless human husks for this purpose. The official reason given is that since the hosts are cloned aberrants, they were never human to begin with.
+Furthermore, critics of the program point out the danger of nearly undetectable O3s defecting and operating against the Order. A plethora of safeguards have been installed into the Artificial Children to alleviate these worries.
