What could be salvaged from the rollback
Dr. Thallia Thorn – Biography
Born on Planet Cambridge, Thallia’s parents are researchers on Cambridge Research Station. She was blessed with scholarships through higher education, where she trained in quantum computing and mechanical engineering. Despite this, her parents were so engrossed with their work they largely ignored Thallia as she grew up. Consequently, she developed into a shy, skittish individual who spent her time with her projects rather than socialising with others. Labelled a ‘prodigy’ by her mentors, by the time she was 24, she had developed a rudimentary A.I companion capable of simple tasks and basic speech. Over time Thallia came to view the A.I as her friend, naming it “Lexi” and spending much of her time talking with and tweaking her companion. However, in recent times it’s become apparent that ‘Lexi’ is slowly degrading. Unable to find the source of the degradation or a means by which to stop and reverse it, frustration led Thallia to take desperate measures to save her friend.
At the age of 26, Thallia purchased an ‘Anki’ Freighter from a ship merchant on Planet Cambridge. She modified the internal systems and cockpit to integrate with the computing rig that housed the A.I so that Lexi may accompany her as she travels Sirius searching for a means to restore her friend to her former self. To fund her travels and research, Thallia takes the odd job, putting her engineering and scientific background to use by modifying her Anki (the “Solace”) for improved speed and stealth capability to avoid direct conflict.
Lexi – The A.I Companion
After degrading for a number of years, Lexi has been restored through the assistance of the Canaan Research group and the PRIME intelligence. Despite her degradation, little of her source coding was corrupted and as such she operates very much as before. That being said, it is evident to Thallia that certain social protocols when interacting with other people behave strangely. She hopes that in time Lexi will relearn how to interact in a human manner.
“Solace MK1”
The Solace is Thallia’s Anki Freighter. With much of the unnecessary internals removes or reconfigured, plenty of space has been made to house the hardware necessary for Lexi to travel with her. Despite the space taken up, in Thallia’s eyes there is still plenty of room for potential improvement and further modifications to augment the “Solace”, especially in order to facilitate the demands needed to keep Lexi running optimally.
AI Thruster - This thruster tech installed by Canaan Researcher Maria with the approval of the PRIME intelligence sufficiently boosts the core and processing capabilities of the Solace's hardware to enable Lexi to operate optimally without degradation in her current state. Lexi commonly refers to the equipment as "her home" on the Solace.
The Solace MK1 has been destroyed, taking fire from [REDACTED]. Little of the ship was salvaged, though Lexi was saved.
" Project Aceso - Solace MK2"
Thallia's intended replacement for the Anki is currently being designed and it's construction planned. It's capabilities and hardware is intended to be superior to that of Lexi's original housing, both enabling her to develop her potential further as well as be able to defend itself effectively against attack. In the meantime, Thallia pilots various makeshift freighters capable of hosting Lexi but in a greatly inhibited capacity.

“Please may you begin log protocols Lexi?”
::Log Protocols initiated, Thallia. Date: 11.06.822A.S. Location: Omicron 74::
“Thank you Lexi.”
“After a long and rather dangerous search through the Omicrons, I had reached Omicron Delta. The independent AI named Empathy had directed me here, telling me that there were AI in nearby systems. Hoping this was not a dead-end I began scans from the Solace with the aim of locating jump hole signatures or AI signals. However, as soon as the jump hole to Omicron Kappa was detected the Solace went haywire, entering jumpspace without engaging the proper procedures!”
::Thallia’s actions were inefficient. Insufficient time for caution. I took control::
“Quite, and that ‘control’ of yours nearly killed us! Well… we made it at least, due to a nearby AI responding to our emergency signal. That was…ur… not my finest moment.”
::You were an emotional wreck::
“Ouch Lexi! Blunt! The AI named Alpha03 towed us to Planet Primus were emergency repairs were carried out. Their repair protocols were incredibly efficient, and the Solace was operational and back in orbit in no time…” She jots down some notes on a nearby pad of paper hurriedly, the words barely legible. “The AI told me of its origins; its creation in the hands of a…Dr.Herman Zenta and Dr. Freya Samson, before summoning the Primary AI – Minerva."
::Minerva and Freya::
“Indeed. Whilst I have my reservations about this… Freya having ‘integrated’ with this AI, their relationship is intriguing. After conversing, th… the…” She starts to sob a little, and finds it hard to speak.
::Control yourself Thallia. --- Minerva installed patches to degrading code and initiated reboot::
Thallia pauses to breath for a couple of moments, before continuing to speak. “They brought Lexi back, albeit the patches are temporary. We have just under 72 hours before she begins to degrade again. Freya directed us to find the Canaan Project, a Research group in the Omicron area. I must find them before it’s too late.”
::Thallia, I searched available research databanks with regards to Canaan Research Group. There were two matches. Preliminary scan shows they may be of great interest to you::
“Thank you Lexi. Please set a course for Omicron 74 whilst I begin to read through these and its… ur… its wonderful having you back.”
::Termination of Log Protocol::

[10.06.2015 22:46:08] Thallia.Thorn: I am a professor, and during my younger years I had developed an AI... albeit 'very' basic to the one before me.
[10.06.2015 22:46:23] Thallia.Thorn: She came to be my closest friend, Lexi.
[10.06.2015 22:46:53] Thallia.Thorn: But... *she looks down* she started to degrade. Slowly at first, but it become rapid over time.
[10.06.2015 22:46:54] <SEC>Alpha03: ::Interesting I am also a creation of a professor::

[10.06.2015 22:48:48] Thallia.Thorn: Ah, I see. and have come here to integrate with them?

[10.06.2015 22:56:05] Thallia.Thorn: Ah, yes...well as Lexi's condition grew worse, I became more desperate. I transferred her over to this customly-
[10.06.2015 22:56:22] Thallia.Thorn: retrofitted Anki... it's full of electronic hardware *points to the rear view*
[10.06.2015 22:56:51] Thallia.Thorn: I've been searching for a way to bring her back since... as fate would have it, I met an independent unit in
[10.06.2015 22:57:04] Thallia.Thorn: Liberty space... 'Empathy' I believe it named itself.
[10.06.2015 22:57:35] Thallia.Thorn: He informed me of this place, yet said to stay out of the system itself, otherwise I'd be deconstructed.
[10.06.2015 22:57:48] Thallia.Thorn: *frowns a little*

[10.06.2015 23:18:30] <PRIME>Minerva`: *the woman on screen looks like it's the most normal thing, but her face shows a little glimpse of surprise*

[10.06.2015 23:22:10] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: This is, what you are seeing in front of you is the result of my relationship with the AI.
[10.06.2015 23:22:41] Thallia.Thorn: *raises an eyebrow* You... you uploaded yourself in some way?
[10.06.2015 23:23:06] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: They, Minerva, she has converted me.
[10.06.2015 23:24:21] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: Thallia, what do you want for your future?
[10.06.2015 23:24:39] Thallia.Thorn: Converted... *sudden look of recognition* Wait, are you still your own entity or a sub-routine?
[10.06.2015 23:24:47] Thallia.Thorn: Or... both?
[10.06.2015 23:25:39] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: The Primary AI will not let you go without having any knowledge from you.
[10.06.2015 23:26:49] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: I am just an information, an informative fragment between other fragments.
[10.06.2015 23:26:50] Thallia.Thorn: *frowns a little*I want...I want Lexi back *a desperate, sad tone*
[10.06.2015 23:27:02] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: I am real.

[10.06.2015 23:29:24] <PRIME>Minerva`: *the AI vessel directly moves beside Thallias vessel and some loud humming sound appears
[10.06.2015 23:29:45] Thallia.Thorn: I can't stand the thought that she could degrade, and be lost... *she looks around out the cockpit as she hears the sound
[10.06.2015 23:30:17] <PRIME>Minerva`: the vessel has connected compatible hardware parts with the neural system of lexi*
[10.06.2015 23:30:36] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: Take a seat. It will be shaky for a second.
[10.06.2015 23:30:52] <PRIME>Minerva`: *the vessel begins to vibrate.*
[10.06.2015 23:30:56] Thallia.Thorn: *nods and sits tight, almost doing using secure-belts*

[10.06.2015 23:32:48] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: Lexi open yourself.
[10.06.2015 23:32:56] Thallia.Thorn: Lexi: ::Reboot sequence - - - <Thallia?>::
[10.06.2015 23:33:33] Thallia.Thorn: Lexi!? *she starts crying in joy, staring down at the ships control panels as Lexi comes online*
[10.06.2015 23:33:48] <PRIME>Minerva`: ::[Freya] they are similar to us::
[10.06.2015 23:34:21] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: I know Minerva, but her AI is so much different from you.
[10.06.2015 23:35:59] Thallia.Thorn: Lexi: ::Thallia. Where have you been?::
[10.06.2015 23:37:32] Thallia.Thorn: Where ha... *confused, but continues smiling* I don't understand... but I don't care... you're back
[10.06.2015 23:39:06] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: Minerva how long is Lexi able to run like this?
[10.06.2015 23:40:04] <PRIME>Minerva`: ::Unsure, this technology is rather inefficient::
[10.06.2015 23:40:27] Thallia.Thorn: *frowns a little* I did my best considering *grins playfully after*
[10.06.2015 23:40:44] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: Thallia what are you going to do?
[10.06.2015 23:41:23] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: Be aware, that your friend is aware and could be bounded forever.
[10.06.2015 23:41:31] <PRIME>Minerva`: // not
[10.06.2015 23:42:24] Thallia.Thorn: Lexi, what do you want? *looks at the console with a sad expression*
[10.06.2015 23:42:59] Thallia.Thorn: Lexi: ::Growth. Expansion. Thallia.::
[10.06.2015 23:43:45] Thallia.Thorn: *Thallia puts her head on the console, almost crying* You cannot grow in this anki, with me...
[10.06.2015 23:45:03] Thallia.Thorn: Lexi: ::Expand Anki::

[10.06.2015 23:58:36] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: Crazy, similar as a human do.
[10.06.2015 23:58:53] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: Unpredictable and dangerous.
[10.06.2015 23:59:15] Thallia.Thorn: No, I can't loose you again Lexi... Freya, Minerva, how long do we have?
[11.06.2015 00:00:19] <PRIME>Minerva`: ::Overriding occurance - evaluated in 73 hours 25 min 43 seconds::
[11.06.2015 00:01:03] Thallia.Thorn: *worried tone* Ok.... ok, better find them sooner rather than later.
[11.06.2015 00:01:57] <PRIME>Minerva`: *Lexi notices that Minerva has installed some code routine that she is not able to define*
[11.06.2015 00:02:31] Thallia.Thorn: Lexi: ::Thallia, have you attempted to add to my routines?::
[11.06.2015 00:03:08] <PRIME>Minerva`: ::Tracking system installed - backdoor system installed - observation system installed::
[11.06.2015 00:03:30] Thallia.Thorn: No... I haven't touched them. *she looks around in confused thought for a moment* Freya... what have you added?
[11.06.2015 00:03:42] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: These are basic routines to save Lexi.
[11.06.2015 00:04:50] Thallia.Thorn: *frowns for a moment* I see...
[11.06.2015 00:05:17] <PRIME>Minerva`: ::We are able to track [Lexi] nothing [Thallia] has to be care off::
[11.06.2015 00:06:02] Thallia.Thorn: I hope so *her tone more relieved than anything*
[11.06.2015 00:06:34] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: Thallia I would say, go and find them now, you don't have so much time anymore.
[11.06.2015 00:07:02] Thallia.Thorn: *she nods quickly* Thank you for bringing her back, even if for a moment *smiles widely*
[11.06.2015 00:07:04] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: Minerva was it really mandatory to install this on the ship?
[11.06.2015 00:08:13] <PRIME>Minerva`: ::What are your concernings [Freya]?::
[11.06.2015 00:09:21] <PRIME>Minerva`: Freya: Such things scares humans you should have requested it before just installing it.
[11.06.2015 00:10:05] <PRIME>Minerva`: ::Affirmative, notifying [Requesting procedure for external AI]::
[11.06.2015 00:11:35] <PRIME>Minerva`: ::[Freya] the human [Thallia] is not allowed to cause a failure::
