AQRDM

Automated Quick Response Defense Mechanisms, or AQRDM, are dormant backup personalities that are installed in high risk or high value assets who can't be aware of their link to HU. These personalities are typically passive, but can take over in seconds in order to defend the host or to carry out orders from HU, and can even impart knowledge and skills to the host if the situation necessitates it, though the Acre, as they are commonly referred to, can operate completely without the host's knowledge by filling in the blanks with fake memories or just leaving empty spaces if they're small enough.

Acre project and installation
Acres are individually constructed AIs whose personalities are targeted towards their intended hosts. The project was commissioned in OCY 454, in direct response to the war with the Parnoir Imperial Fleet when it was determined that had certain key figures in the fleet's administration been under the influence of HU, the war could have been entirely avoided. With this in mind, the team assigned to the project created the Acres, who could work completely under the radar in any situation and could be utilized in multiple occasions, and could even be used to create a network of HU assets on a planet devoid of HU agents.

While this primary use is still a driving force behind the Acre project, the subjects have mostly shifted from creating assets and sleeper agents to high risk or high value subjects who have little to no capability in self-defense. Such assets who have Acres installed are typically of use to HU in some way or another, whether they be CEOs of companies or hackers.

When active in the body, the Acre system takes over all aspects, and can even control metabolism and heart rate. Because of this complete control, subjects with Acres become incredibly resistant, or even immune, to most poisons and tranquilizers, as well as increased strength and agility, which could be utilized in a fight against, or escape from, whatever forces or organization intends to harm the host. Because of both their programming and their reliance on the host body for their continued survival, Acres are intensely dedicated to the survival of the host, going as far as taking control for extended periods of time to seize opportunities that the host would have missed or revealing their presence by preventing suicide or accidents that would have resulted in the injury or death of the host.
