ANALYZING…   FILE TYPE: Marathon Archives Entry PERIOD: Colony Era TOPIC: UESC Marathon Support AI SUMMARY: Annotated overview of the three ship-based AI written by UESC Marathon Captain Clemente di Roxas during the voyage to Tau Ceti IV. Notes and errata present in original document. =================================================================== UESC MARATHON SUPPORT AI specifications Type: Strong Logic Core size: 64 RB Manufacturer: Traxus OffWorld Industries Inception date: 2409 Series: Traxus IX-A Family suite: Hermes Identity / Function: Leela / Command, Oversight Tycho / Science, Communications Durandal / Infrastructure, Maintenance [pass through DOC for cleanup] The UESC Marathon houses three of the strongest Artificial Intelligences ever produced by Traxus OffWorld Industries—Leela, Tycho, and Durandal. [DOC append "at the time of its construction" or similar phrasing to avoid sounding like we're marveling at the equivalent of steam engines] These three advanced intelligences represent the first strong AI ever built to operate a single vessel. They represent the newest trio [same as earlier] in the Traxus IX-A line of artificial support intelligence systems, and comprise the entirety of the Hermes family suite collective. While they have now been performing their roles for decades, the AIs remain as reliable as the day they were installed. [wish I could be so lucky] Leela acts as something like the leader of the other ship AI. During the voyage, her duties of command and oversight run parallel to the ship's executive officer. She interacts fully with leadership and the ship's crew daily to ensure that the Marathon is operating efficiently and is prepared for any emergency. [and is great at generating summary paragraphs] Tycho not only facilitates communication with Sol but also supervises the numerous scientific experiments that take place on the Marathon. Once we arrive in the Tau Ceti system, he will aid in the long-term observation of the planet and coordinate with the colony-dedicated AI to help ensure all efforts to build the colony are foundationally sound. Durandal oversees the operation and maintenance of the UESC Marathon itself, a task not very far removed from AI's planetary management roots. His basic responsibilities afford him close connections to the crew. [feels insignificant, come back and add more] Together, they carry the hopes and dreams of Sol into a bright and wonderous future. —Captain Clemente di Roxas =================================================================== TYPE: TEXT [X]; AUDIO [ ]
