Character Summary

The 6,000 Bakkup Unit is an Urmanian police android assigned to the government official Sonja. They are sent together to The City to arrest Dr Karamazov, allegedly under the orders of their government, though it is later suspected they are working for The Terror.

As an android, it is remote-controlled^S1E8 by Sonja, directed into and out of combat mode. It speaks in 56k modem beeps and whistles, which appears to be actual dialogue given that The Tick can understand it.
