===Cawthorne=== [[Wikipedia:Cawthorne|Cawthorne]] is a town in England that was once said to have a dragon nearby which would fly away when disturbed.<ref>http://www.wyrm.org.uk/ukdracs/cawthorne.html</ref><ref>[https://books.google.ie/books?id=DvYWDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA78&lpg=PA78&dq=Cawthorne+dragon&source=bl&ots=kTS_81D5A6&sig=aIKhiBpHJ8iaVtMk3fhmn0MT4xU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjU6qaz75bZAhUDa8AKHYmZCE4Q6AEIYjAN#v=onepage&q=Cawthorne%20dragon&f=false Encyclopedia of Beasts and Monsters]</ref> The Cawthorne<ref name="I10.5 e1">To Dragon, it was as if no time had passed from the moment she deployed the Cawthorne rapid response unit and the moment she found herself back in her laboratory. - [[Interlude 10.5]]</ref> is Dragon's rapid response unit<ref name="I10.5">[[Interlude 10.5]]</ref> designed for speed rather than durability or firepower.<ref name="10.4">[[Parasite 10.4]]</ref> It had a squat, segmented, snakelike body, with a tail and four legs. Four engines mounted on the upper body doubled as weapons arrays, bristling with turrets and missiles.<ref name="10.4"/> The suit was equipped for fighting serious threats at a moment's notice, and thus carried mostly lethal weaponry. The "engines" could spray containment foam, a gas that dissolved the foam, and fire-retardant chemicals. The feet were broad metal talons, and could be electrified and leak the same foam-dissolving gas. The mouth sprayed a burning fluid of some kind.<ref name="10.5">[[Parasite 10.5]]</ref> She deployed an unnamed suit, possibly the '''Mark One''' or '''Mark Two''', against [[Leviathan]]. A durable creation that contains multiple layers, heavy weaponry and the ability to release a spray of blue-white liquid "flame" from its mouth. It also features missile turrets and the ability to shed and detonate its outer casing.<ref name="8.y"> [[Interlude 8.y]]</ref><ref name="8.3">[[Extermination 8.3]]</ref> The '''Mark Three''' was seen later described as a sleek model resembling a cross between a dragon and a fighter jet, mounted with four engines around the ‘shoulders'.<ref name="I15"/> Primarily armed with containment foam sprayers.<ref name="16.2"/><ref name="16.3 e77">“I can send them in, I can tell them where to go or when to stand by, but they do what they’re programmed to, and they’re programmed to avoid attacking civilians and local heroes.”<br><br>“That didn’t stop the foam-spraying-” Regent started.<br><br>“The Cawthorne model,” the Director interrupted.<br><br>“Sure. That didn’t stop the Cawthorne thing from shooting Trickster when he had Kid Win hostage.”<br><br>“I expect Dragon accounted for the fact that you might take hostages and use the nonlethality restrictions of the A.I. against it. She would have given the machines tools or strategies to work around it.” - [[Monarch 16.3]]</ref><ref name="16.1"/> [[Skitter]] and [[Tattletale]] identified it as an updated version of the same suit used against Leviathan.<ref>The first of the reinforcements arrived. I recognized it as the suit that had been deployed against Leviathan. The same one that had gone after Tattletale, unless she had more than one. This one had the foam sprayer. - [[Monarch 16.2]]</ref><ref>Tattletale replied. “She was piloting an updated version on the thing she used against Leviathan. Spewed containment foam everywhere. My guys hammered it with rocket launchers and bought me time to run. Maybe lost half my squad, depending on how things went. Only Minor and Brooks have returned so far.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/24/monarch-16-1/ excerpt] from [[Monarch 16.1]]</ref>
