Andromeda AI in a nutshell (since I've only missed 1 episode in 1.5 seasons) When we first met the ship (pre fall), the AI was just in the computer and a hologram, but since the ship is so powerful (computing wise), it can separate them and have a discussion Now, since they got dragged out of the black hole, the crew that joined them has "one of the best engineers in the known universe", Harper, with them (what are the odds of that happening?), so, he converted one of the maintenance androids into the form of the AI, giving "her" the autonomy to walk about and retain the personality within it's own body - thus meaning they can have a 3 way conversation - the android also has the ability to take control of certain parts of the ship, so that the main computer doesn't have to concentrate on it In the first season, the AI was in love with Dylan (Sorbo), but this seems to have been dropped in the second season... although Harper still lusts after the android loads With me so far? Good Right, it's only on certain episodes that we find the strengths and weaknesses of the AI, like the battery life (when they got stranded on a planet), the fact that she's incredibly strong (during the Magog invasion of the ship, Season 1 finale and Season 2 start) Erm, I think that's about it, but I'm sure I've missed something For further information http://www.andromedatv.com http://www.adromedaascendant.com Blah blah blah Philip Arnold Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited T: +44 (0)20 8680 1133 "Websites for the real world" ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
