He grinned, and nodded to another orb that had appeared above the hard light computer. "That is a what my constructs are now, in their... lets call it infant form. Without a body to bond to, they eventually would grow into the Death Guard forms that have been so charming since I got back. Sadly, it takes considerable energy and time to make one, even for them, and we just haven't had the time or materials to do it before. The stalkers will get the same thing when we link back up with their Oversoul.<br/><br/>The difference in one that is merged with a body is that it forms a symbiotic relationship with the host organic, binding to their nervous system and then with the rest of their forms. We got the idea from one of the timelines we passed through, and the Guard was quietly impressed with the race as a whole. Early tests had some irregularities when bonding with an organic that had been briefed beforehand, as the 'infant' construct tries to match with your impressions and expectations. When the receiving organics were unconscious and not briefed beforehand, they had a 100% survival and success rate. We think we have ironed out that problem, but better safe than sorry.<br/><br/>After it finishes fully integrating with your nervous system, you will become aware of it like you would a familiar, and in fact it can become one if you want. That would give it several significant boosts on top of the normal benefits. Right now, it gives you full immunity to significant damaging strikes, deathward, and resists most normal elements and several other functions. You can modify it later to give other benefits."
