The Arch Wilder
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Designed to provide support for soldiers employed and allied with Veradune’s armed forces, the V.E.S.S. comes in two parts. The first part is a central hub which must be stationed near all other chips. This hub acts as the AI’s core and is approximately 1 cubic meter of metal and computer components. All nearby V.E.S.S. units share information with this hub and can be controlled from it.
The second part comes in a small chip that can be inserted into any armor. This chip stores an individual V.E.S.S. AI, which can act independently of the main hub. Each chip attached V.E.S.S.
is capable of operating without the main hub, though doing so will not allow the soldier to see any information that he has not already provided, such as updated locations of other troops, or the battlefield beyond what he has explored.
V.E.S.S AI works by compiling visual and audio data through a camera and microphone that can either be built into, or retrofitted onto the armor it is installed in. Using this information, the AI will provide as comprehensive of a report as it can to the attached soldier, paying attention to the surroundings as well as any equipment the soldier might use.
Every V.E.S.S. comes with an inbuilt failsafe. When booting up for the first time, V.E.S.S. will ask ask user for a failsafe password, that when spoken by the user, will immediately shut down all V.E.S.S. function, causing it to become completely inactive. Once the failsafe is activated, V.E.S.S. will only reactivate if its chip is placed in a central hub to have the AI redownloaded.
Designed to rapidly adapt, V.E.S.S. AI will begin to mold its personality to the soldier, finding what works best for the user’s wellbeing, though a memory wipe or redownload will cause the AI. to revert back to its default programming which is a polite and professional female persona.
