Service Record:
Aki Luttinen born 2028, Hollingsdall Norway, of shopkeeper parents. Studied at Oslo University, earned Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Programming, Masters in Computer Science, Ph.D. Computer Science and Computer Age Philosophy. Became expert with C* and C** programming languages; joined Zakharov Research Institute three years prior to launch of Unity. Assigned to Alpha Centauri crew as expert computer tech.

Details are unclear, but evidence exists she initiated an unauthorized experiment in pre-sentient algorithms, using dormant bandwidth on the Unity computers, possibly on the orders of Prokhor Zakharov. She designed the experiment to run for 40 years, hoping for some interesting results over that unprecendented time frame. However, upon awakening, the crew found a a system crash message dated from launch +3 months, along with an auto-stack dump that indicated program failure. Luttinen received disciplinary action for her part in the experiment.

She was stricken with rheumatic fever three weeks prior to arrival. Unaccounted for and presumed lost in hospital bay during Unity crash. Reappeared soon after on Planet surface, now calling herself Aki Zeta-5.
  

Psych Profile: Emotionally Detached
Though details are unclear, best estimates are that Aki Luttinen is now Aki Zeta-5, a sentient algorthim spawned during aforementioned experiment. How the algorithm entered body of Luttinen is not known; nor is it known how much, if any, of her memories and personality still exist. Post-Planetfall functioning exhibits symptoms of Bipolar Disorder, characterized by erratic behavior.

Her strong emphasis in logic and reason cause her to sacrifice emotion and intuition for pure practicality. High degree of treachery likely. Appeals to emotion, past, and humanity unlikely to succeed. Dangerous in the extreme.

 


Visions of Alpha Centauri 

The Cybernetic Consciousness evolved from a rogue algorithm in the Unity comupters, and offers exceptional intellectual powers to any human who acts as a host for a subroutine of the Consciousness. This faction is dedicated to the promotion of rationality and logic over backward human emotions. They possess exceptional research abilities, and arrive on Planet with knowledge of Polymorphic Software,. The Cybernetic ability to communicate and co-ordinate actions confers an efficiency bonus for this faction as well. However, they find it difficult to promote human reproduction, resulting in growth penalties, and they lack any kind of warrior spirit, decreasing troop morale. The Consciousness cannot make the Eudaimonic social engineering choice, but they are immune to the negative efficiency penalties for the Planned social engineering choice.
