Polamedes sits down and calms himself. Over the course of a minute he uses a bundle of wires and electronics combined with tiny nanomachines in his ring to slowly assemble a tiny robot. Pols forarms expand outward in 4 sections framing his arm like a kind of giant spider. The long spindly limbs pry free from the flesh and bone underneath showing long strands of tendon and flesh beneath where they were previously connected. The spider arms then move at ludicrous speed quickly assembling a tiny robot by tri spooling, nanothread, skin threads, and actual wire. The spiderlegs heat up quickly as they move and over the course of the minute will release a spay of blood in order to cool themselves as they work.
The robot looks like a miniature version of Utah raptor. Afterwards the programming in the raptor demands that it be given a unique name before it can be given any instructions.
Polamedes has studied his tiny dinosaur friend extensively and has recreated a robot from his research.

A slab of a human in terms of looks, Assistant Hyde was the first successful attempt at creating artificial life with assistance from other DSP biotechnologists, but they were only a minor help (the funding on the other hand...). Big and dumb, Assistant Hyde is a glorified watchdog and lab assistant both. Sure they can't help out with surgery themselves, but they are good at holding things. And beating people. It's a shame they need to be created via invasive, harmful surgery each time.

Grace calls Horatio, Obedience's pet in life and death, out of the ether. He ppears as a ghostly form covered in soot, which trails behind him in wisps as he pads out from somewhere nearby- under a chair, out of a trashcan or closet, from behind her head and onto her shoulders.... Horatio was loyal to the end, and will "die" over and over again fighting ferociouslu for his girls, and fighting. Even when they were both alive, it was their ability to communicate across barriers that got Obedience killed. Now that they've crossed the ultimate barrier together, they can truly and clearly understand each other.
Horatio usually resides in Grace’s mindscape, along with the rest of the menagerie, unless Grace is in a place private enough that he can come out and play.
While Obedience's life force was tied to the tree, bitter as the bark and as slow to progress, Horatio was hidden from her; she was too unfamiliar and for awhile, taken to fits of rage. Horatio wasn't willing to put up with it directly, after a time. But he never went far, watching over her out of even her sight... the most loyal of cats, our beloved Horatio.

The Vampire is able to turn one of their victims into a lesser vampire, a pale shadow of a full creature of the night but useful nonetheless. Having drained and killed their target, the Vampire performs a brief ritualistic bloodletting, wherein they spill their own blood into the target's mouth, forcing them to drink, and bonding them together as child and sire.
Shortly afterwards, the fledgling vampire will rise from death, hungry for blood and eager to serve.

Raised creatures have their Abilities set to the same that they were in life. Their Charisma and Intellect are set to 1, but their Dexterity, Brawn and Perception are the same as they had in life. A raised creature cannot use any Effects.
