Description: Silicon Fists were invented prior to the coming of Scaxathrom and were employed for security work in dangerous areas where mistakes and weaknesses would prove to be fatal. These beings are entirely self-sufficient, needing only sunlight and distilled water to power their onboard microfusion generators. Unfortunately, most Silicon Fists remain at their post, guarding ruins and forgotten buildings - they are often completely unaware of the destruction of their ancient masters. They assume nearly everyone who enters their territory is a foe and must be disposed of accordingly. Sometimes, this involves questioning or imprisonment, but usually death is the sentence for entering the high-security areas the Silicon Fists guard.

Silicon Fists appear as blocky, armoured humanoids with a small, long-range sensor dish mounted atop their head. They make a distinctive, machine-line noise as they walk, and they will always announce the arrival of intruders and then ask for obscure passwords from them. This usually means that the invaders will be sentenced to die, but the Silicon Fists will usually attack Mathematicians last since their former masters were Mathematicians.
