You are on a spaceship.

Most of your time will be spent on the bridge, which is exactly as fancy as you’d expect it to be — it looks a little like this. (The chairs are super comfortable!) Your brand new artificial intelligence — which, if you investigate, you’ll find is housed in a small computer chip — has been implanted into the computer terminal on the back wall. The diagnostics readout displayed along the bottom of the screen tells you that the AI has only been outfitted with the most basic of Stability Cores, and is currently Critically Unstable.

Of course they did. I wouldn't have been the last one in a series if they all failed. [ ha. ] And the military used a bunch of them even before my time.

Hmmm....

Does the AI do...better?

Re: ROUND 1

I guess it depends on personality. Or... what's in both of their heads.

Can someone who compartmentalize well keep an AI from digging into memories?

Re: ROUND 1

[3g]

Doubt it. You could ask it nicely, though. If it was me and someone told me not to go digging? I'd listen. Mostly.

...I could do that. I do seem to charm AIs. [Winks at him.]

should we see 'bout stabilizing the AI first if I do donate? Also we were thinking I could whip up a program to dig around for diplo-merc jobs on the interwebs.

Re: ROUND 1

[3g]

Yeah, definitely. Uh, I've got, er, experience in unstable AI. Don't risk your brain yet.

Right! So....maybe just buy the high quality core and worry 'bout profit later?

Bet between you and me, we could find a good core on the black market.
