Details
- Marked as an X5 (?).
- Most frequently seen being interfaced with in either
Main Mission in
Y1 or
Command Center in
Y2.
- The main processor(s) and hardware maintenance banks (?)
were in a separate, windowless(?) room elsewhere on base.
- Managed by
David Kano in
Y1 and
Maya in
Y2.
- Can be put on 'Essential Services Program' (minimum capacity).
("Black Sun").
- Not long before the Moon enters the "Black Sun",
shuts itself down.
- In Y1, has an artificial voice
(somewhat computer-like but somewhat feminine).
As far as the Editor is aware, did not use one in Y2
(story-oriented speculation: damaged program?).
- Heard on board Eagles as well, including in Y2? (e.g.
MOA?)
