ENTRY SELECTED "CASSIOPEIA"
INPUT CODE: ****************
CODE ACCEPTED | WELCOME ELENA

Cassiopeia

I... I wonder if I should even save this log, after all I can hardly take credit for her work.

Cass is an interesting creature, you might think with names like "Perseus" "Gorgon" "Hecate" That I'm the one who named her but... I didn't, she did...

Things started off simple enough. A friend of mine needed help with the system computer of a first generation Whale, after it tried to go the long way to Omicron Lost from Cortez, as in without jumpholes. They thought it'd be a great idea to have me take a look at it... Of course I jumped on the opportunity, I mean... First generation Zoner tech? A Whale no less? It'd be a disservice to techheads everywhere if I didn't jump on that chance as soon as possible! Imagine my surprise when I saw that the SC itself was uhh... Dead, it's dead, they killed it there's no other way to put it... But somehow the computer was still running, or so I thought. Turns out, it was long dead. What was controlling it was an AI who's system was integrated INSIDE the frame of the Whale itself. Didn't think it was possible, whoever got this thing modded the hell out of her.
Upon bringing it up into a safe state (Ok I just kinda... booted him up on a computer to make sure it didn't just ran rampant) Turns out someone tried to kill it by infecting it with every computer virus they could get their hands on. So that was a good few days of my life without sleep debugging the damn thing. Lucky for the AI, I was able to fix him and turns out, he was a decent guy. But the coding on this thing... Mercury's code was-IS amazing. Cass is a testament to that.

Now some of the code was out of date, some of it also needed some of the code fully rewritten but, I was able to get both the Original AI now named Mercury (Because he needed a name and the Whale's name was Fredric, yes I am a nerd.) And my own project working with... moooostly no glitches on Mercury's side (Still don't understand the random gender flip...) In no time at all she'd picked her own name, "Cassiopeia" Honestly I'm not sure if that was a leftover from what the true AI of the ship was or not, either way it was pretty so I ran with it. I installed her onto my ship and had her work the heavy weapons. I swear that girl couldn't hit the Broad side of a Gas giant at first, but she picked up how to aim quickly enough. And after a few days in Sim pods with me she became a decent pilot.

Her growth is astounding. As weeks went by she gained more and more personality started to show itself, or maybe it was always there and she wasn't sure if I'd approve, but after awhile she'd make the occasional joke, even hit me with a bit of snark! Though without a doubt the most impressive thing she's done is make her own "body" so to speak. Normally AI are given a form to use and that's that. Not Cass, oh no. She made her own unique Hologram, she said it was based off of Noel and Seline's bodies. I didn't really care at the time because I was kinda freaking out about the sudden Human aboard my ship, she spent days with it running on the proverbial back burner for over a week making it look Natural. As time went on she kept learning more and more... Eventually asking about making a form of cloak. Yeah, she's the reason I even thought of making Doppelganger, and the one to actually make the first working version as I stated on it's entry.

With the acquirement of our Carrier the Hecate, we also got a shipment of Ageira Vindicators for various uses, Cass figured out that she could interface with them and start to use them to further help me and the rest of the Harpies in our endeavors, she even uses Doppelganger to have her Avatar layered over the Droid she controls, granted when starts controlling more then one she stops bothering with it, as it currently stands. She's due for two upgrades, both of which have her nervous about losing her sense of self. The first is being integrated into an IRG "Shell" as I've taken up calling them, with that done, she'd only be a step behind Honya and Bride, the second being an update to their level... Once Hanamura get's the source code for their programming, she's promised to upgrade her to be on equal footing with the AI twins... As apprehensive as she is, she's also eager to to make the transition into becoming human. And I honestly couldn't be happier for her.
