A '''positronic brain''' is an adorable little cube similar to a [[Man-Machine Interface]] -- but unlike the former, which relies on a brain yanked out of a real life [[Assistant|crewmate]], the positronic brain replicates a human mind from scratch, with the power of [[Ghost|SCIENCE!]] | |||

Developed late in the century on the back of mathematic and conceptual work spanning almost a millennia, the first positronic brain was an inch-wide cube of palladium-iridium alloy, nano-etched with billions upon billions of conduits and connections. Upon activation, hard-booted by way of an emitter laser, the brain issued a single sentence before the neural pathways collapsed and it became an inert lump of platinum: "How may I serve?". | |||

To use a positronic brain, simply find one or produce one on the protolathe - high material and research requirements, be warned - and left-click it in your hand. If it chimes, and begins to flicker, it has a personality. If it buzzes and goes inert, nobody has decided to join as your plastic pal who's fun to be with. | To use a positronic brain, simply find one or produce one on the protolathe - high material and research requirements, be warned - and left-click it in your hand.

As a positronic brain, remember: you exist to serve! Unlike an AI or a [[drone]] you are not bound by a strict lawset; but like both of those, you are expected to serve the crew and generally be not shit. Also unlike a MMI, '''you do not remember your past life'''. Period. It doesn't exist, it's over, you are a new character. Try to use your new status as a lovable cube to metagame, and enjoy your [[ban]]. | |||
