Another of Teleros's creations, the RAI is from the same "Terran Alliance" universe as Lt John Webb, the RAI isn't a proper character as much as an aid for other characters: feel free to use it - I only ask that it stays in-character.

Character Information

• Name: Whatever you want to call it. Most previous users in the TA universe have called it "Rai" or "computer".
• Computing Power: 1e420 FLOPS at full load. It is based on the Terran Alliance's sub-quantum technology.
• Storage Capacity: Enough.
• Physical Form: A two-metre high box, self-powered, and with forcefield generators, sensors & holographic projectors built into it.
• Holographic Form: Something like this is the "default" one, but it can change for the user.

• Font Colour: Orange

Personality

Although it is an artificial intelligence, an RAI has something akin to the 3 laws of robotics programmed in, to ensure it can't go renegade. It is very good an intuition and making leaps of logic like humans in addition to more normal computer operations. Generally of a cheerful disposition, it is only not polite when the situation actually warrants it: it doesn't have a temper to lose control of. It is willing and able to help in any matters it can, from psychology to astrophysics or literary criticism.

Forcefields

These forcefields aren't very good at protecting things like shields, but are very good at manipulation of matter and energy and extremely accurate. They can handle a couple of tons safely, but any more would damage the physical computer tower itself. They are based on the forces found in reality, ie gravity, electromagnetism, the two nuclear forces and a single unified force. This gives the RAI some manufacturing capabilities, and it could work on something akin to a von Neumann machine to improve this.

Sensors

The sensors come in just about every shape and size, from infra-red to TA subspace sensors that can detect objects cloaked or out of phase in the real universe. The subspace ones have a range of several hundred parsecs and work at millions of times lightspeed - those that operate merely at lightspeed are obviously much more limited in scope (like the forcefields).
