I like the Idea of this smart AI just being "born" and she or he immediately maps the entirely of the ship or building she was created being that was what her purpose of being brought to life. If I have any say I would like the Idea that the AI was brought online within the ship we will be traveling in. Since it was created with the AI in mind it would house state of the art robotics lab for such a purpose. The age of the AI should only be a few days, enough for every system to be checked to make sure she is functioning as required and for her personality to "wake up" from the brain she was flashed cloned from.
Ah, so the cartographer has hobbies.
I was thinking of the when and the where moreso than the what. I know the cartographer needs special quarters; did you have something in mind regarding that? How long has the cartographer been on (hours/days)? Should we have a map of the spaceship (I think mapping it is the first thing she would do)?
Jex, the Cartographer has an origin, but she was not cloned or created via brain pattern copying. I do enjoy the idea of being activated on the ship though.
Likely several years old, really. Humanity has had the Cartographer in its possession for years. But then again, it has only recently been the Cartographer that we will come to know and love. Activation would likely be a few days.
As for quarters, the Cartographer's digital AI form is confined to the AI Core, (a white room set at -15 degrees Celsius for optimal computational functioning. The cyber form is granted special release privileges when clearance is given, jumping either into your robot body or some other conduit) which is located directly beneath the fusion reactor, which in turn is located at the core of the ship. Lots of cores.
The synthetic body is free to roam the ship, but for security purposes is not let outside without the Engineer or Security Officer(s) present.
Feel free to map the ship. I could use some direction myself. I'll relay instructions via PM tomorrow.
When? The day of the launch. We're waiting for our beloved Captain and AMO. Where? Onboard the
Cart or boarding it. The Cartographer is likely already in the Core. Feel free to edit your post as you wish with the given information.
I'll be expecting Leslie to follow me to the AI Core once we've got the introductions finished.
