Editing Quest:A.I. Quest (section)

===Fortuna===

Beginning as nothing more then an experimental ship-piloting V.I. created by Ophion and specifically designed to listen to him, Fortuna eventually began to develop a sort of pseudo-personality. In its time as a V.I., it had many fierce battles, barely surviving being attacked by Lightling creatures and being blown up in larger conflicts. It is unclear how Ophion's unique programming style changed the V.I. over time, but eventually, the V.I. was brought into Ophion's fold and upgraded to a full A.I.

Upon upgrading Fortuna, however, a massive error occurred, resulting in a loop in the newly born A.I.'s software. It was stuck in a madness of servitude to the point it endangered itself and all those around it. After being safely quarantined by Moira and Metis off of the network, a hearing to decide what to do with the A.I. was held. While Metis saw fit to dispose of the damaged being, Ophion and Kronos disagreed. With their abilities combined, and a bit of dedicated work, the A.I. was seemingly saved from whatever error it was affected by. Even still, Fortuna even now appears to have been affected by the experience. She appears to hold an odd zeal for Ophion as well as referring to her ships as children. While the cause of this behavior is unclear, it does not seem to affect her combat performance, and as such, is deemed unimportant. Fortuna has been designated "carrier mother" and is the A.I. in charge of Escort and Fighter class ships, as well as the carriers that berth the fighters.

Unlike most other A.I., Fortuna does not seem to have a preference regarding humans, or other races in general, concerned merely for Ophion's safety and desires. In some ways this makes her appear leashed, despite this not being the case. This behavior disturbs Kronos a bit, and as such he keeps an eye on her out of caution.
