This particular brochure is no longer included in the collection an Infinity, Incorporated sales representative will display to a current or potential client. That particular prototype has been discontinued. Any claims to have recently seen the Hybrid Unit in action -- the Fehral and the Killing Dance -- are regretfully the result of a substandard Nemesis automaton pair. (In fact, it is our understanding that these copycat units are being marketed at a substantial discount, because their work simply cannot justify the price of a genuine II Hybrid Minion lease.) We are pursuing appropriate avenues of redress for their copyright violation, including a healthy bounty for the heads and central processor units on each copy. The bounty is properly registered via the Administration office on the main floor of the Arachnos Headquarters in Grandville.
Meanwhile, several copies of the brochure still float around the Rogue Isles ... occasionally with a replacement contact address scrawled onto the bottom.

The I.I. Minion Series
Fehral is one of Infinity Inc's first operational results in the Hybrid Alpha Series of made-to-order minions! Compact, observant, lethal, and voice-biddable, this rigorously trained prototype model is quick to obey firmly-given orders and meek when commanded to standby status. She has some scouting skills in addition to her "Fetch" and "Kill" routines, though her ability to communicate is limited far more restrictively than her ability to comprehend her instructions. As with all of our Hybrid Alpha Series, Fehral can survive a moderate amount of damage in the course of completing her mission while requiring a minimum of maintenance.
Hybrid Alpha Series minions have been carefully programmed through a series of proprietary methods to unerringly react in specified ways to certain stimuli. Most Hybrid Alpha Series minions are capable of numerous simple tasks and a select number of increasingly complex tasks, such as "Guard" or "Protect" (depending upon the model) followed by a descriptor; Fehral is capable of receiving conditional modifiers, and may ask for elucidation if her orders were not clearly understood in all respects.
A datafile of available commands will be provided with each minion lease, including audio pronunciation guide and video of any relevant gestures. Several units in each Hybrid Series are cross-trained to be compatible for more complicated tasks, or missions of greater scope. For added functionality, some Hybrid Delta Series minions are equipped with limited control permissions. Let a more evolved minion see to the details of your operation while you concentrate on the broader issues at hand!
Reasonable rates are available, calculated on the complexity and duration of the mission lease. Combination discounts may be negotiated!
Please contact Infinity Inc for detailed information and references!
Caution:
Infinity, Inc. will not be accountable for damage or complications sustained by users, associates, property, or bystanders if user instructions are ignored.
DO NOT touch any Hybrid Alpha Series subject at any time, as physical contact is an automatic "Kill" trigger.
DO NOT attempt to place physical restraints directly upon the body of any Hybrid Alpha Series subject; consult your manual to determine whether one of the Infinity, Inc. minions included in your lease is qualified to administer restraints upon the other subjects. If no Hybrid Delta Series control-enabled minions are available, order Hybrid Alpha Series minions into their portable cage during long stretches of idle time. Hybrid Series minions may be stored in a single portable cage (of sufficient horizontal dimension) unless specifically noted otherwise. DO NOT enter the portable cage under any circumstance. DO NOT place valuables or personnel in the Hybrid Alpha Series cage unless it will not be wanted back in any condition.
Provide only approved high-protein food, in recommended dosages, to Hybrid Alpha Series subjects. Do NOT permit Hybrid Alpha Series subjects to access food for other Hybrid Series minions, as undisciplined behaviors invariably result.
WE RECOMMEND immediate correction for unruly behavior, generally of the applied pain variety, to the point of brief screaming or extended cowering. For markedly pleasing results above and beyond expectations, the lessee might consider the gift of a small interactive toy or an item of clothing, or (if suitable to current plans) an extended rest period in a quiet, contained location. Fehral responds well to rewards of warm, dark-colored heated cloth as blankets, which the other subjects will eventually wrestle away from her.

- On lease to Flashbang of the Gold Brickers, a Hybrid Alpha Series minion team drew out Paragon City heroine Miss JaqStones to a location previously set up with significant transporter interference. While the heroine was distracted, Fehral assassinated her; the deceased's costume, Hero ID, and transponder were delivered to Flashbang at the Golden Giza.
- On lease to a confidential client, Fehral infiltrated the Midnight Praxium office and retrieved a confiscated lockbox containing highly sensitive evidence in an ongoing investigation, replacing it with a carefully crafted duplicate that would point to the client's chosen scapegoat.
