314.URB-LOC.0017-Advisor

314 URB-LOC 0017 was one of several Advisors stored within the Citadel prior to its destruction. The numerical name on the pod appears to have something to do with the location of the the Advisor, as URB-LOC 0017 almost certainly refers to "Urban Location 0017", AKA, City 17. Like all Advisors, 314 URB-LOC 0017 has powerful telepathic and presumably telekinetic abilities. In response to Alyx's unwanted examination, it uses a telepathic attack that causes both Gordon and Alyx immense pain, as well as distorting their vision. The attack doesn't do any actual damage, but persists as long as Gordon and Alyx remain in the room. Alyx has to catch her breath afterward. Let's describe some advisor attire. The Advisors are large, pale, grub-like creatures with no discernible facial features, save a gas mask-like device attached to their front end as well as a cybernetic eyepiece on the left-hand side of their "face". Advisors possess a long, prehensile proboscis, which they use to feed. They do this to humans by plunging the proboscis deep into the back of the neck. Exactly what they feed on from humans is unknown, though given the position it is most likely blood or spinal fluid.
Each Advisor wears a skintight olive-green body suit that covers all but both ends of their bodies, with a collar around their "necks" adorned with golden glyphs. Some Advisors also have a pair of spindly black robotic arms strapped to their back that are capable of grabbing and lifting an adult human. In Episode Two, Advisors are seen grabbing humans, both living and dead, and plunging the proboscis deep into the back of their necks. As 314, most advisors are placed in advisor pods. The Advisor pods are large white synth ships the size of phone booths, capable of controlled flight and marked with a registration number printed on the side (for example, 314 URB-LOC 0017, possibly standing for "Advisor number 314, Urban Location Number 17"). The inside is lined with cushioned walls and contains a "blanket" for the Advisors to be wrapped in, most likely some form of life support and/or protection from shock. They are first seen in Episode One where Gordon and Alyx watch as a pod is transported up through the Citadel with an Advisor tucked inside. In Episode One, many Pods can be seen fleeing from the Citadel just before it explodes. In Episode Two, an Advisor Pod can be seen being transported along with a battalion of Combine soldiers and Striders. If the pod is not hovering in air, it would be placed onto a advisor platform.
