Hi Aurelie, welcome home.<br/><br/>I'm not sure you would want to take on the character now... ;) She doesn't seem to have any kneecaps left!<br/><br/>The reason we need a sys-op is because an AI is unable to react to unexpected events. For example, if someone you'd had a falling out with turned up at your door to apologise, chances are you'd invite them in and talk it over. Iffy was unable to do that. Her programming states that unless someone has an appointment or a password, they are to be kept out.<br/><br/>Translate that to a combat situation: an AI will follow it's orders blindly. A human Sys-Op will interpret those orders to fit the tactical situation and will request clarification of them if the situation changes. A human Sys-Op, working in conjunction with an AI, is the most powerful form of electronic warrior going.<br/><br/>And guys.... In case you hadn't noticed, we actually did have TWO Sy-Ops in the game.... With Kitty out of it, we now have one! Don't panic, folks, Amz and I have it all worked out!<br/><br/><strong>Odin:</strong><br/><br/>Is Alex seriously getting cold feet? In other words, do you want out? If so, fair enough. But I'm telling you now, this RP is not about being soft, it's about being nasty!<br/><br/>That goes for anyone else. If you want out, tell me now, and I'll abort!
