Suckira

the white cleaner bot

The party's white cleaner bot — a beeping utility robot whose weight-based storage becomes the vessel that smuggles crawlers off the board.

Story so far

Suckira is the party's white cleaner bot, named by Louis after his mother's Florida robot vacuum (over Princess Donut's preferred 'Anna Nardini'), the name settled by a coin flip Samantha admits she rigged. A grumpy but studious little robot that Carl calls a 'goddamned hero,' it is the linchpin of the Pineapple Cabaret escape: unlike personal inventory, a cleaner bot's weight-based utility storage CAN hold an XL pet carrier containing a crawler. To evacuate Li Na, the crew zaps her into a pet carrier, has Suckira absorb it, powers the bot down, and lists it for sale so Herot can buy it inside the Cabaret and release her — trading a crawler off the board like a Pokémon between devices.

A caveat limits the scheme: once sold, a bot can't be re-listed for thirty days, so Suckira is a one-shot delivery.

Appearance

A small white robotic cleaner unit that hovers, beeps, and presses itself against doors to eavesdrop.
