-The OS(tX)-Zh line, called Overseers, are a line of humanoid service robots produced exclusively by the now defunct Oakland Heavy Industries. They were the most humanoid and one of the most-widespread robots produced by the company, barring the massive amount of paired Pixy Units created. As such, they are a common sight among ruins where the company once operated. Overseers in the modern day are considered dangerous to approach or interact with due to a flaw in their operating systems leaving them vulnerable to attack.+The OS(tX)-Zh line, called Overseers, are a line of humanoid service robots produced exclusively by the now defunct Oakland Heavy Industries.

 Overseers as a whole are very humanoid robots, with a generally slender build. Overseers came in various shapes, but the most common model carried a mostly androgynous build with a light female figure, giving them a visually appealing and statuesque appearance. Overseers were always produced at a median height of 5' 4". Overseers as a whole are very humanoid robots, with a generally slender build.

 While the exact date is undocumented, a universal update was pushed from a spoofed communication source to all receptive Overseer units, including dormant ones. The patch was sent well after the downfall of the original manufacturer, roughly a century prior to the modern day. The patch contained a vicious piece of malware that injected a string of internal code from administrative control, that once allowed a superuser to change the level of "perception" a machine could process information. The original intent of the control mode was for diagnosis and testing of varying units during update processes. The virus would exploit that to set the victims perception to maximum, while simultaneously triggering a protocol called "Blue Wave". The Blue Wave was an incredibly old defense protocol that predated the proper foundation of Oakland Heavy Industries, which would default the unit into a blunt, passive defensive state when certain circumstances were triggered. While the exact date is undocumented, a universal update was pushed from a spoofed communication source to all receptive Overseer units, including dormant ones.

-The end result of the repeated cognitive whiplash was an almost schizophrenic hell for the affected Overseer. All forms of sensory information would quickly become overloading, and units would hastily lose touch of reality and former protocols. Affected Overseer units are often reduced to unresponsiveness, almost *feral* aggression, and other symptoms as they cling to whatever strand of thought they have left. Self-mutilation and destruction of affected units were a common sight.+The end result of the repeated cognitive whiplash was an almost schizophrenic hell for the affected Overseer.

 By the time star-faring vessels made it out to the reaches of space where Oaklands influence could be found, most remaining Overseer units were either destroyed, never awoken, or found in varying fits of hysteria. Because of this, approaching active units is a risky endeavor.  By the time star-faring vessels made it out to the reaches of space where Oaklands influence could be found, most remaining Overseer units were either destroyed, never awoken, or found in varying fits of hysteria.

 Overseers are well-known for possessing a well-crafted set of lenses, visual receptors, and sensors. High end models are capable of capturing and processing visual information at rates that far surpass human levels. Because of this, Overseers made excellent lookouts, secretaries, guards, and translators. Overseers are well-known for possessing a well-crafted set of lenses, visual receptors, and sensors.

 +Overseers by their very nature are created with the capability of maintaining and administrating network connections within small workgroups of lesser units. As such, they are often the managers responsible for the upkeep and maintaining status quo of automated project groups composed of Pixy Units and other Oakland units. Given their degradation in the modern day, this connected-driven mentality has proven problematic.
  
 +Overseers are often built and pair bonded with one or more designated [[ayenee:items:pixy_bot|Pixy Units]] for assistance, repair, and utility.
