A.S.H.L.E.I.: "I am home to 40 crew members as long we are on mission, I could hold up to 60 more persons in my Cargo bay and the passenger quarters if we remove/rearrange the added service module containers, for a short time. My personality is stored inside my main frame onboard the Ghoz'Tarc. This might sound confusing but as the AI of the Ghoz'Tarc I am integral part of the ship. By all definition we are one but I don't like to refer to my body as the Ghoz'Tarc. I assume you could argue that it is a form of Synthetics Body Dysphoria or maybe not. The Ghoz'Tarc is my body even if it doesn't fit my personal understanding as a synthetic female person. But this doesn't answers your question right?
My home as the Ghoz'Tarc is space.
I feel most at home in Union space especially in the Union/Alliance Phoenix Fleet. It is like my home herd. Does this make sense to non Spacecraft persons?"

Arkham:"Do you mean my hyperpod here onboard the Ghoz'Tarc? Or my Apartment in London? I live over an empty Restaurant, I own the parts of the building since I paid the restaurant owner to help him survive but he wasn't happy how it worked at all and left for his home colony. After we made an agreement that I take this part of house as a payment...
I don't have any idea what to do with it and I would need to come up with a development plan for the other owners in the building. It's at least quite comfy to have no neighbors underneath, it's a quite part of London far away from the Waterfront of the western (northern) sea. The district is quite, a lot of different species around and not to far from the academy. A lot of restaurants, the apartment is only a two room one. Maybe I turn the empty restaurant into a dancing studio or make a deal with the Alliance Pilot Division, who knows..."

MC POV: Tell us about your home

1/3
Kira: "Home like Terra where my mother lives? Home like the Ghoz'Tarc? Or the House I inherited from my biological parents?
The first is near London, close to the coast & the Alliance Academy. Anika & I lived there together with Mum & Dad. It was mostly because its easy to access the Terra Unika/Union Central Government for Terra & the Alliance Academy Dad teached at.
The Ghoz'Tarc for obvious reasons.
I have the captains quarter since Anika went MIA which is basically a 16² mtr 1. room apartment.
My house on Terralysium is way to large for me alone & we originally planned to move their together when Mum would leave the government job behind, even for 3 people it would be quite big. I only have a small section furnished which I use as an apartment. Don't know how I feel living their without Ann & only Mum in the future ...
Maybe Arkham and I could live their..."

Anna lachte nervös, sie konnte sich nicht erinnern Continere je gehört zu haben oder das Wort selbst erfunden zu haben. Was genau ging hier vor? Schrieb eine andere Kraft an ihrer Geschichte, war das wieder eine dieser Situationen in denen sich das Universum selbst, also das fiktive, mit ihr anlegte? Oder war es einfach nur ein Übersetzungs Problem? Es passte weder zu ihrer Version von Union Standard noch Terran Standard.

AS:„Ja genau das meine ich es war eine epische Kriegsgeschichte okay jedenfalls als solche geplant irgendwo zwischen Mass Effect und Halo." Da hatte ihr Ash zum Glück ein Ausweg geliefert solange sie in der Geschichte steckte konnte sie unmöglich etwas ändern. Das mochte das Universum überhaupt nicht.

Kira:„War das mehr Propaganda oder Continere?"

AS:„Continere, glaube ich?"

Ash:„Continere ca2200 als Gegenstūck zur Propaganda eingeführt.
Genres sind extremen Schwankungen unterworfen, mit dem Aufkommen der Galaxian Fantasy wurde zum Beispiel die Urban Fantasy zu einem Subgenre. Ähnlich wie Ancient Rock zwar immer Rock Musik ist aber aufgrund des alters zu der gleichen Kategorie wie Bach & Mozart zählt.
Genre Grenzen waren schon immer sehr fließend & viele Kochbuchschreibende sind hervorragende Bodyhorror Schriftstellende geworden."

Kira:„Also bisher hat sie uns nur ihre Present Fiction und Space Opera/Galaxian Fantasy gezeigt.
Ihre Spaces Opera war irgendwie extrem süß auch wenn sie die nur auf die Innenseite einer Zellwand gekritzelt hat."

AS:„Hey, sei du mal 48 Tage Geisel von Piraten ohne meine Implantate wäre ich Geschichte. Ich hab übrigens auch schon Science Fiction geschrieben die spielte im 24. Jahrhundert." Anna bis sich auf die Zunge. Hier war es Present Fiction oder Galaxian Fantasy...

Arkham:„Was war daran dann Science Fiction?"

Arkham:„Anna könnte Retro Science Fiction geschrieben haben, einige Schreibende haben viel Erfolg mit Serien die an Star Trek, Star Wars, Mass Effect, For all Mankind, Galaxy Glyde oder ähnliches angelehnt sind."

18.04.2025 What would it take for your MC to become violent?

Kira Knox repeated disregard of safety and sanity of sentient life.
The defense of historical politics of the early 21. century on Terra or unregulated capitalism. The end justifies the means behavior.

Arkham is a very passionate person she can get really loud and angry but keeps her anger mostly violent free. She has a breaking point but no one has tested that yet.

Ashlei has no tendency to violent behavior not us she programmed to feel anger.

646 How would you describe your MC’s job or occupation? (You can be comedic about it, if you like.)

Kira Knox: "Punching people until they behave properly. Because that's surely how it works, right?"

Arkham: "Plowing through space."

Ashlei: "I would describe my occupation as how to serv people. Correction. How to serve for people. Correction. How to serv forty people. Correction. How to serv for forty people."

Arkham: "Was this an attempt of a joke?"

Ashlei: "Did it work?"

Arkham: "No."

Ashlei: "Did I 'butcher' the timing? Or was my attempt to 'intelligent' was it to 'artifical?'"

Arkham smirked: "That was a good one."

644. Does your MC’s current actions reflect their past experiences?

Yes and No.

Kira despite all that happened to her has become an outgoing, open minded and people interested person that deeply cares for her society she lives in, she has a more somber toned down side she rarely let people into that close. As a soldier she seems to be able to prevent others from her expirience.

Arkham pretty much. She still tries to distance from people until she knows them enough but she doesn't go out of her way to know them. Why she started to feel something for Kira is beyond her understanding atm but she decided to not wasting it by questioning it to much.

Ash hasn't made to many experiences yet and her basis is a different one as for humanoid of biological creatures.

Well I think Ashlei isn't truly altruistic or maybe she is... Depending on how you measure this with an AI that highest priority is to protect it's crew.

If we would take human standards of today as an indication she shares her body with and cares for ~40 persons and this 24 hours a day...
If that doesn't sounds like a single parent I don't know and single parents are altruistic right?
Minus the body sharing thing... That sounds more like a psychological challenge but who said different forms of existence aren't challenging for our perception?

09.04.2025 Wenn deine Figur verfilmt würde, welche Schauspielende würdest du für deine Figuren wählen?

Die Figur alleine... Hm...
Da käme wahrscheinlich eine erzählerische persönliche Retrospektive in Frage dies würde eine jüngere und eine ältere Person erforderlich machen oder digital deaging...

Am liebsten eine Person die eine meiner Vorbilder Rollen gespielt hat. Wie z.B.: Jerry Ryan (Seven of Nine in Star Trek Voyager, Star Trek Online, Star Trek Picard).

Kate Mullgrew (Captain Janeway in ST Voyager, ST Online, ST Prodegy).

Nana Visitor (Major Kira Nerrys Star Trek Deep Space Nine, ST Online, ST Lower Decks)

Eventuell Jennifer Hale? Sie ist ja eigentlich "nur" Sprecherin aber sie sieht so wunderschön aus in ihrem Alter (mini crush😅) & Menschlich ist sie einfach so WOW.
Ihre Stimme ist einfach unvergleichlich, hab vor ein paar Tagen ein YouTube Short von ihr hier geteilt.

08.04.2025 Ist deine Figur ausgeglichen oder jähzornig?

Author_ity note: Ich glaube nicht dass das unbedingt Gegensätze sind.

Kira: Hat eine Menge Temperament aber auch sehr viel Selbstkontrolle. Sie atmet lieber noch ein paar Mal durch oder geht kurz ihren Sandsack boxen.

Arkham: Ihr Temperament ist eher ungezügelt besonders in Kampfsituationen neigt sie zu verbalen Ausfällen die zeigen dass ihr historisches Sprachen Studium nicht unbedingt die beabsichtigten Früchte trägt sie kann in mehr Sprachen fluchen als sie spricht.

ASHLEI: Als KI ist Ash sehr bedacht keine vorschnellen Entscheidungen zu treffen, ganz ihrer Programmierung zut Folge, zu ihrem Vorteil kann sie komplexe Simulationen schneller durchführen als die meisten biologischen Spezies.

637. Does your MC have a past that haunts them?

With Kira's survival rate of family members one can bet on it especially with current events.

For Arkham it's a bit more... Inmature one could say if we paint it in a not nice way against her.
She regrets to not have shown her mother how far she has come without her involvement.

Ashlei... can an A.I. be haunted by past deeds, deeds that seemed logical at the moment, given it's parameters, that it is not programmed to feel loss, to feel something is missing or to feel regret? Can an A.I. "feel" by reliving events from the perspective of a Terran/Human? We will see...

07.04.2025 addendum

*Angeblich kann eine Person es auch aus dem Resonanzen des Schiffsrumpfs/den Umgebungsgeräuschen an Board der Ghoz'Tarc heraus hören wenn sie auf das fast lautlose surren des Trägheitsdämpfungdfelds hört oder wenn der EPI dass essen noch ein klein wenig näher am individuellen Geschmack der bestellenden Person druckt. Aber das sind wohl nur Gerüchte.

Wie zeigt deine Figur dass sie eine andere Person nett findet?

Das kann mitunter etwas schwerer auszumachen sein.

Kira hat viel Erfahrung in höflichen und politisch korrekten Umgang mit anderen, was ihr als Commander und nun Captain in der Allianz sehr zu gute kommt. Zudem ist sie ständig damit beschäftigt ihre Muskeln an und abzuspannen was ihr eine gewisse Unruhe verleiht, die auch mal falsch verstanden werden kann.
Es sind also eher so Details wie ein echtes lächeln, ein kleine Origami Figur hier oder auch mal das Gegenteil sehr plump es einfach mal zu erwähnen.

Arkham braucht etwas bis sie sich dahingehend anderen öffnet es sind also eher Verhaltensweisen wie besagte Personen nicht aus dem Cockpit zu scheuchen.

Ash hat natürlich keine Körpersprache zumindest keine Humanoide. Es ist eher der Ton ihrer eher neutralen Stimme und die Wortwahl.*

05.04.2025 Welchen Gegenstand würde deine Figur aus einem brennenden Haus retten?

Kira aus dem eigenen Haus das Foto ihrer Familie zwar ist es Luftdicht versiegelt und kann ein Feuer theoretisch überstehen aber die Chemikalien darin würden doch irgendwann reagieren wenn die Umgebung heiß genug werden würde. Und vielleicht noch ein anderes Objekt aber Spoiler.

Arkham besitzt nichts in ihrer Wohnung wofür es sich ihrer Meinung nach lohnen würde ins Haus zu rennen. Das einzige was sich lohnen würde hat sie tatsächlich bei sich.

Ashlei: hat offensichtlich kein eigenes Haus auch wenn es Raumdocks gibt die groß genug wären für sie. Ergo wäre das scenario wahrscheinlich sehr unwahrscheinlich bis unmöglich oder eher eine Komödien Szene wert ähnlich einer Katze die ihre Vorderpfoten in einen winzigen Karton stellt weil Karton ...

I feel... Bad that I don't fulfill it. I wasn't programmed to feel ... The same like biological beings do.
I am not a Terran, Human or other Person... But since I lost the captain and the commander and I joined...
I have felt her pain, I understand what loss means to biological creatures... At least Terrans.
Sometimes I want to go back to before. I want to go back in time and save Captain Johanson... Kira's Sister. I feel responsibility to save my crew, to save their loved ones. I had to reinterpret my programmed values. I'm not doing this to serve the people on board I'm doing this to save MY CREW. They are a part of me, important to me, even if they crawl inside me, breath my air & drink my water, they need ME. Than I understand & see my purpose: I will pay my duty to them. I will not loose another one, not a single soul onboard, we are ONE, ONE CREW, ONE SHIP, ONE FAMILY!"

... still haven't figured out how to deal with this. I'm simply not used to such close relationships and than this thing with romantic relationships. I never was into that and yet here I am talking about the captain and my spine feels like someone exchanged it with Jello. It is confusing going from stay the SWEX away as far as possible to please touch me.

Ashlei:"I sometimes feell... lost. I was always programmed to make the live of the crew easier and protect them... But since the Captain wen MIA possibly KIA and the link to commander Knox... Kira's mind I changed. I'm not an "simple AI" anymore. I'm now a symbiotic entity.
Its like only knowing the theory of feeling and suddenly you have to deal with biological emotions as a passenger before that I valued the crew as I was programmed to. Every Life I had to protect was my responsibility, my purpose, if I don't fulfill my purpose I need to

634. MC POV: How much do you value companionship? Do you always keep people around, or do you prefer to be alone?

1/3

Kira:"Since the blast im never alone. It's complicated to get along with a voice in your head that isn't yours and isn't an imaginary thing either. Ash and I are a symbiotically entity now. Each her own personality but now more than before. Luckily I always valued closeness and sharing my mind. I wouldn't have chosen my job otherwise. The crew is like family for me but as with family it can get rough some times especially on this longer than usual mission and the loss of Anika..."

Arkham:"it is difficult, I like the crew but I joined for my talent and because I hadn't any other ways of getting back on foot. For the longest time I was isolating & hostile towards others but as we lost Anika and almost Kira too something changed in me ... I guess this crew starts to grow on me and I
