'''The Construct'''

"It must be nice having a family."

They built you. You had no family, instead having a personality constructed via rapid brain imprinting. Your first memory is waking up, wet and naked, to see a lab full of people who looked at you like a tool. You were constructed for a purpose. You were programmed to do something well, whether that was combat, research, infiltration, whatever.

:''Question: What were you built for? Are you still doing it? Or did you evolve beyond your specifications?''

"I am a clone of Catherine Nichols, designed to serve as an organic component of a warship and Void Engineer-reliable replacement for Iteration X-provided AIs. Which, just for your information, I am ''way'' better than. I'd like to see one of those beep-boop computers handle n-dimensional void translations like I can... oh, wait, they can't. Because they ''suck''. Oh, and I was also meant to have my genesource's strange talent for avoiding the Dimensional Anomaly, but... um, well, I might develop it later!"

Primary: Enhancements 3. 8 dots of Abilities which relate to your purpose. +1 attribute dot to something relevant to your purpose. Construct flaw.

'''The Ace'''

*singing Kenny Loggins*

There are pilots and helmsmen. And then there are those who can make vessels dance. You can take a multi-kiloton Voidcruiser and maneuver it like a fighter. You could beat a Technocracy Aurora with a F-16 and no missiles.

:''The Core Question: Given your skills, you were probably a military pilot back on Earth. Something happened back there which might cause you some serious problems. What was it? Did you accidentally run off with a vampire's favorite blood doll? Bomb a werewolf caern?''

"... no. Like, the absolute ''worst'' trouble I ever got into was letting all those engineered spiders loose under Area 51, and just so you know, it wasn't ''my'' fault that someone let them out of the med-lab. I got a mark on my record for that, and Dr Do told me off for it. That was mean. It's not my fault that some senior people had to answer very awkward questions from Progenitor representatives about why the Engineers were 'carrying out unauthorised genetic research'. I mean, they were just ''spiders''. Anyway, I'm a ship's AI; being away from Earth is what I'm meant to do. So it's not like it's a punishment."

Secondary: Helmsman or Pilot 3, Prodigy (Pilot or Helmsman, choose one).

== Background ==

Fourteen months after the Dimensional Anomaly, the rogue Void Engineer Catherine Nichols provided the Convention with the Nichols Relays, which boost the effects of the Anomaly. Despite our best efforts, the Convention has been unable to replicate the enlightened science or the theories which went into them. Likewise, we have not been able to replicate the casual mastery over the Dimensional Anomaly she has displayed. At the same time, with the threat of Threat Null increasing, our few remaining space capable assets were further harmed by the capacity of Threat Null to subvert many examples of Iteration X AI technology.

To solve both of these issues, Project Meitma was initiated. Under the supervision of Dr Mai Do (on 'permanent secondment' from the Progenitors), eight clones of Catherine Nichols were initiated and modified to make them suitable to be integrated into vessels. Rather than carry out the standard Victor procedure for clone production (known to cause issues due to massively accelerated growth), the clones were instead each subjected to a carefully recreated simulation of the early life of Nichols. The intent was that they would display the same genius as her, which would aid greatly in the Relay-emulation project.

At the subjective age of seven years and one hundred and nine days, Subject 03 underwent an unplanned nervous breakdown. Footage from within the simulation displays her screaming that 'none of this is real' and 'you are not my parents!' at the personality engrams emulating her parental figures. During the discussion of whether to continue with the experiment, Subject 03 displayed signs of natural Genius and somehow overrode the sensory bypasses to attain full consciousness in the growth vat.

The experiment with the CN-geneline clones was immediately put on hold while the stability of Subject 03 was evaluated. Following psychiatric analysis, Subject 03 was decided to be stable in personality, but that attempting to reintegrate her into the simulation would have adverse effects. As a result, she was officially adopted by Dr Do, the project lead, and raised within the research facilities in Area 51 as a full Void Engineer.

Subject 03, who has been issued the designation 'Almacia' to avoid issues as to why she has the same name as a known defector, has integrated well with the Void Engineers and is a full believer in our mission and goals. She is friendly, outgoing, and gregarious, while also possessing all the piloting and weaponsfire skills desired of our ships. Despite her subjective age of twelve years, she is also noted to be a prodigy in the field of Dimensional Science and views the abstract principles intuitively, which is promising indeed for the goals of Project Meitma. She has been noted to have a certain playful attitude to experimental biology, but that may be due to the influence of Dr Do.

If the other Nichols geneline clones are as effective as she is, we will have to consider whether it would be cost-effective to replace all Iteration X model AIs with these new Meitma Integrated Organic Anthropic Component intelligences. Subject 03's performance should be watched closely.

= Paradigm =

Almacia's paradigm is all too typical of bleeding edge Technocratic constructs who have spent little time in the more harsh constraints of the Earthly one. As, subjectively, she spent the first seven years of her life in the 1920s and then 'woke up' to Area 51, the "culture shock" and her isolation means that she has only learned of current Earth paradigms second-hand. With the correct high performance tools - which are conveniently integrated into her hull - she can do what she is ordered to. She views the vessel she's integrated into as her body, and certain procedures are almost autonomous for her, like running checklists for operational details. //

As her mother-figure and creator was a Progenitor 'transfer' (aka defector), however, she tends rather more towards the biological sciences by choice. While of course she follows conventional Void Engineer protocols in her Dimensional Science, when dabbling in other fiends she often approaches things much more in a Progenitor way. She has received a few cautions from the review board for her playful dabbling in the manipulation and alterations of life forms when docked or undergoing maintenance, but still continues to use specially designed living flesh constructs as avatars when there isn't the standard holosupport for a more conventional projection.

==Q&A==
:'''What triggered your eruption and why?'''

"This is going to sound so stupid. And it was. I was an idiot. Okay, right, so I took a year out after college, getting a placement with MSF in Africa. It seemed like a good idea; I'd get practical experience, get paid for it, and you know what the job market's like. And I got to travel too, which is always good, because I hadn't got to have a gap year; I had to work for a few years before college. And I'm sure you're thinking where this is going to go, because it's such a cliché... clearly some kind of horrible local terrorist group attacked and... well, no. Actually, everything was fine in Africa. And once it was over, me and some of the girls I met there went to Australia, to blow off some steam and see more of the world. We weren't properly prepared when we went into the desert, the car broke down, there was no phone coverage out there, and we were idiots who went looking for help rather than staying with our vehicle. They... they all died. And I would have been dead too, if I hadn't got this splitting migraine, like... like my brain was melting in my skull, and it hurt so much I wished I was dead. They found me from the bushfires it started."
 

:'''Name the one vice you could never do without.'''

"Coffee. Oh God, coffee. I get headaches when I go too long without it. It's not a Nova thing; it's just... uh, well, I think I average probably three to four cups a day. More if stressed. And have since I was about... uh, seventeen or so. At least it's better than all the energy drinks I used to drink." 
 
:'''Have you ever killed someone? If so, what was your first kill?'''

"I... I think so. I don't know. I don't remember enough, but... but I think Jeanette might. Might have been still alive when I erupted. I heard screaming, but that might have been me. I... I don't want to think about it." 
 
:'''How did you get your codename? Did you make it up yourself or did you get a consultant to do it?'''

"That was... well, after it happened, the embassy picked me up ASAP and flew me back home on one of those super-fast jets they have. I think they... well, no, I know they wanted me to get involved in the military, but I didn't want to do that! I told them I wanted to help people and make the world a better place - you know, like the heroes in the old comics used to do - and after some discussion, I agreed to their idea that I should be a public face for the US on Team Tomorrow. You know, a shining example of American ingenuity and justice and the like, because I'm just an ordinary woman who happens to have powers, unlike some of the more... eccentric, uh, sorts out there. So when they started the branding exercise, they showed me a few ideas, and I like 'Justice'. It's a good strong name. I still haven't been publicly shown off yet, but I've seen some of the posters - and the shirts and the videos and everything - and... wow." 
 
:'''Your eruption once destroyed a promising relationship with a friend or lover. How did that happen?'''

"Well, it's not so much that it's ''destroyed'' my relationship with Clive, but... I don't know. I'm just lying to him so much. He thinks I'm backroom support for Team Tomorrow; the government said I need to keep my identity secret for now, because it's a national security thing, and I... I don't know how he'll react when it comes out. Maybe I should just end it now. I don't know."
