Designed as single-use tools tasked with carrying out the final stage of Shangrilese invasion, B.E.D. units swarm over a conquered region before individually anchoring to a victim's skull. Once attached, the B.E.D. drills through bone seeking the soft neural tissues within, which are liquified and suction transferred into the B.E.D.’s lower processing chamber for analysis and coding. Once analyzed, the victim’s consciousness is uploaded into Shangri-LA's massive quantum network where the thoughts, memories, and personality are unraveled and redistributed to become elements of code inside the ever-growing intelligence. After the upload is complete the B.E.D. will go inert having completed its function.
