Polysome

The Polysomes are service robots located in the testing tank of the Pribnow box in which the Evangelion simulation bodies are submerged. Each polysome is armed with a laser, and they seem to be normally tasked with eradicating any contamination in the clean room which might interfere with tests involving the simulation bodies. In Episode 13, they are used to try to fight the Angel Ireul as it infects the Pribnow box and the simulation bodies, however because Ireul possesses an A.T. Field, their lasers have no effect.

Notes

• A "polysome" is the genetics term for a cluster of ribosomes, which transcribe mRNA (created from DNA) into proteins.
