Interesting backgrounds here, would explain why despite being more of a military organization, the TSAB somehow uses civilian terminology (clerks). Although a concrete timeline would make this background much better IMHO GJ btw.

And for another in Kay's Biography... this time, I'll be doing an unusual thing in profiles, introducing another key character in the process of profiling Kay, having written about him in the previous profiles, since as I discovered you get to know more about the character through how they interact (which is why I just love all these short stories you crazy guys do ).

Anyways, continuing with the profile, now covering Part I of AI's, and a little character intro:

Spoiler for length:

Personal Log of TSAB 2nd Lieutenant Glock Heckler, 79th Army Battalion

I am now in my 197th day of my present assignment of observation and security watch over civilian Archaeologist Kaylin Mathis. Ms. Mathis has been working here at the Moldiva badlands, on the examination of a weapons vault believed to be several hundred years old. She is currently in the process of cataloging any relevant artifacts and paraphernalia in the area. No significant events for notation, most of the items being harmless trinkets, physical blunt and bladed weapons, with little or no extra-dimensional qualities. Will hand more detailed relic and artifact reports for processing by LPRF 6 by the fortnight, and also to the 37th Criminal Investigation And Apprehension unit for further examination, as per new orders. In the meantime, I shall be continuing my current personal notations regarding Ms. Mathis’ biography.

Ah screw this. All I really wanted to say is: Kay is the most amazing person I’ve met in my entire life, awesomeness incarnate. I think I’m becoming her biggest fan… wait, I AM her biggest fan…

- :Hey, why are you hijacking my log?!
- : Eeh I’m not, I’m just finishing it up for you. You should thank me for my consideration!
Glock: Writing in what you want me to feel for you is not what I consider “finishing up”!
Kay: You’re no fun.
Glock: I prefer it that way, now please hand me back my log.
Kay: Alright… Shinji, Protect Save!
Shinji: Hai! PROTECTO SAVE!!!!!
*log disappears*
Glock: Sofia, get my log back!
Device Sofia: Alright, Data Reco…
Shinji: Ima da!
Asuka: Achtung! LOGIC EXPLOSION!!!
*Logic Bomb > Sofia*
Glock: Kay….
Kay: *sweatdrop* The logic bomb was not my idea...
Rey: Data Recovery complete. Sofia system restoration complete, backup initiated.
Glock: Rey, you truly are the best of your siblings.
Rey: I’m only doing my best to quell any further ill-will, but thank you.
Glock: That’s a good girl.
*virtual blush by Rey*
Asuka: I’m telling you blue-girl, you’ll pay for this treachery…
Shinji: Asuka, not now…
Kay: No Logic Bombs Asuka, or I’ll have you do defrag duty!
Asuka: Ja!
Kay: Seriously stiff guy, your logs can be more insightful if you’re going to write anything about me. And some attitude. I should have a say if you’re gonna be my biographer.
Glock: I’d rather not have any more love-love delusions on my logs, but I’ll think about it.
Kay: Well, don’t take my “love-love” delusions seriously, it’s not like you’re my type.
Glock: I love you.
Kay: *Does triple spit-take* Omae wa baka…
Glock: Now we’re even. Don’t take that too seriously. Now where was I… *goes back to log*
Shinji: You alright Kay? You look flushed.
Asuka: Not to mention owned.
Kay: This sucks…
Rey: *plays wav file “OWNING”*

Biography of Kaylin “Kay” Mathis: Artificial Intelligence Part I

One of Kay’s most significant non-archaeological field accomplishments was the creation of her three Artificial Intelligence programs, the K.A.I. series. These sentient programs were single-handedly created by Kay six years ago to serve as field companions, each adept at their own individual skills necessary for her work. The AI’s basic program subroutines are based off data from the Reinforce Zwei Project undertaken by TSAB engineers 8 years ago, which Kaylin somehow managed to uncover and…

Can you please stop looking over my shoulder? Thank you.

…retrieve. This information was used in the development of advanced personality, learning and adaption subroutines that ensure that AI’s develop with experiences they undergo over time, as self-learning entities. Also, they are programmed with universal program drivers, meaning they are not restricted to a single device, but can be uploaded unto different devices for them to use, and due to their enhanced compression abilities can be uploaded unto even low-end devices that can handle basic AI. They can also remotely interface with other devices through a variety of means, from simple radio to techno-telepathic link. And finally, all of the AI’s are able to autonomously cast their own spells using Kay’s Linker Core as their energy source. Unlike most AI’s, the three have their own humanoid visual avatars to visually distinguish them from each other when interacting with Kay or each other on data monitor displays. These avatars can also be projected into space via holographic magics, although they have yet to be equipped with tactile interaction abilities, i.e. the ability to manipulate physical objects via touch (although the AI’s can manipulate objects using magic), and tactile, olfactory and taste senses. Kay has expressed the hope that with more time and resources, that the KAI series can be given solid matrix projection bodies, similar to the one used by Master Sergeant Reinforce Zwei of LPRF 6, which’ll allow their avatars to interact with the physical world to better assist Kay in her field work, and also to give them more horizons on which to expand and develop their personalities.

The three AI’s are named Rey, Shinji and Asuka, as per Kay’s preference. (It is noted that she lifted these names from characters from another one of her favorite anime titles, Neon Genesis Evangelion.) Like most AI, Kay used blank personality templates as a starting base for all three AI. Despite this, the AI’s have developed completely divergent personalities, which may have been caused by the pre-programmed specialization of their roles. (Although suspicions point to Kay having had a slight hand in molding them to who they are today).

KAI-00 “Rey” – Rey is the first of the AI’s to be created, and thus is the oldest of the AI siblings. Residing inside the storage device Khaydarin, her specialty is in assisting Kay in artifact research, using her extensive knowledge of archaeological materials and information she learns from various sources to aid Kaylin in the examination and analysis of paraphernalia; and her second role is in the cleaning and restoration of relics to their proper form, using her database to calculate the best possible methods and techniques of restoring a particular item. She can also partake in restoration jobs herself by using various small-scale manipulation magic.

Her avatar is that of a 15 year old Caucasian girl, with long, shoulder-length straight blue hair and red eyes. Her avatar is often seen wearing a white lab coat with blue trim. Strangely enough, Rey has recently added a pair of thin-framed eyeglasses to her avatar’s look, despite the enhanced vision granted her by Khaydarin’s systems. She also talks in a somewhat hushed, yet firm voice.

Personality-wise, Rey is mostly the shy, quiet girl who prefers her own company over socialization, although with the birth of Shinji and Asuka, Rey has been playing the role of the strong yet silent eldest sister. Her calm, unassuming nature makes her the most objective of the three siblings, always assessing the situation and never performing an action without thinking it through, and the least likely to have her temper provoked. She is also the least likely to socialize with strangers, although she can get along with work-related matters. As the most rational of the siblings she is also the problem solver of the group, to the point that Kay relies on her for her problem-solving skill in various matters. Whether due to her programmed specialty, or her own innate preference, Rey has inherited Kay’s passion for archaeology and anthropology, and can be found categorizing and analyzing new artifact data in her spare time, even without Kay’s orders.

That doesn’t mean she is void of any hobbies. She is known to join in on making fun of Kay in her own concise and silent manner, and she is also the avid video game player, playing mostly real-time strategy games. Her favorite game is an Earth-made online game called DoTA Allstars, and she goes by the handle “Frozen Ministra”, playing the character “Rylai Crestfall, the Crystal Maiden”. (She manages to connect via Earth-based servers through the TSAB Psycommu Network, with Shinji’s assistance). It is during gameplay sessions that an unusual transformation takes place, with Rey’s demeanor changing from cool, calm and collected to cool, yet passionate and fiery, often being extremely loud and vocal during gameplay sessions, but without losing her judgement. She is also known to neuter her AI multitasking skills during gameplay in order to reduce the odds of being taken as a cheater when playing against human players– nonetheless Rey still manages to win most of her matches using various strategies and cunning. Her video game involvement goes so far as her using lexicons, terminologies and random sound files from various games in normal situations (her oft-used sound being “Owning” from DoTA Allstars).

Next part will be concerning the two other members of the KAI series.

Log shut down.

I think it’s time to challenge Frozen Ministra and get her back for that one time… Sofia, set up game for me please.

Yes boss.

Time to meet your maker…
