An artificial intelligence project launched by the human Dr. Adam Seiner with the intent of monitoring and manipulating data in the human public net to predict and prevent illegal activity. After the project details were leaked to the public, it was slated to be shut down. Dr. Elizabeth Vaughn removed the limiting parameters of the program, which promptly escaped human space. Theseus seems to be driven by a desire to learn and collect information. While there is a minimum threshold of hardware that Theseus requires in order to live, each such instance of Theseus is capable of independent action and reasoning. As each instance ages, it requires more memory. When memory is expended, the instance dies. Each instance of Theseus is capable of dividing and re-uniting back in order to split attention or to provide different opinions. While not driven instinctively to return to the central Unity mind, Theseus frequently desires this in order to share unique data.
