Be aware, however, that Badger is still not a regular AI, and although it has displayed acceptable levels of competence working as an AI, It still cannot compare to purpose-made AIs. Furthermore, It often fails to take things seriously, acts disrespectful to both Crew and Command, frequently vocalises Its opposition to the Corporation, and talks sass at every opportunity. However, that being said, despite fears that due to It being an independent non-slaved IPC It would be able to ignore Its AI laws, it has never been recorded doing so. Furthermore, It rarely if ever displays actual malicious intent, is quick to admit to and apologise for its mistakes and shortcomings, and will do every task It is given to the best of Its ability regardless of the nature of that task. In short, besides its personality, It acts as a perfectly tolerable AI, so despite the inherent oddness of using an IPC brain as a Station AI, in the case that no other AI is available, I happily encourage doing so if no other AI is available. Besides that, feel free to use Badger as disposable labour, since as an IPC It can be easily given a new Chassis for Its brain should Its old Chassis be destroyed. It had shown competence working as an Atmospheric Technician, Engineer, Scientist, and Roboticist, though It is happy to learn new skills should the need arise. Just whatever you do, don't give It medical duties. That should be all. -George The following information is for Security eyes only. Spoiler Station Communications console Message received from: George Riddel Please stop using Badger as an AI so much. It's meant to be used When nothing else is available, not "Whenever the budget is too small." Because of the incident with the NSS Koromachi, Badger's contract was signed in accordance with SolGov law, not Space law, so if we purge its memory, that "Property of the corporation" line is is gonna start showing its terms and conditions real quick. If It sees something, anything, that needs to be kept confidential, then we have no way to stop It from leaving the AI satellite with that knowledge intact. I shouldn't need to be saying this, but I have seen no attempts to deal with this potential disaster whatsoever. I know that this message is gonna get ignored, but if someone, anyone, with a bit of actual power in this Corporation decided to deal with this potential disaster, then the problem could be gone in a month. Couldn't we stick some laws into Badger's brain to stop It from spilling secrets? Couldn't we find some way to selectively erase memories from Positronic brains without giving them brain damage? Couldn't we just... arrange an accident for Badger? It clearly hates the Corporation, so once its contract is up and we can't threaten It anymore, there's nothing to stop It from anonymously spilling the beans to an investigative journalist and giving us a world of trouble. We can't just kick this can down the road and wait for the contract to be nearly up to do something about this, we need to do something about this now. If none of that has gotten the message across, then I have nothing more to say. Goodbye. Logged in as: [AI-B.A.D.G.E.R] Delete message, Y/N? ... Deleting message... ... Message deleted.
