Luca Char - O-R-E

Name: O-R-E

Species: AI

Age: 5 years

Bio: O-R-E is an mech-based AI built by Lethia. It was made to mine large amounts of Erchius Crystals for FTL drives and fuel. This specific unit was on the Lunar Base 12 when the Erchius Horror attacked. It was bombarded by Moontants and eventually was absorbed by the Horror itself. After the Horror was destroyed, the O-R-E was left to die on the moon. Only recently has the erchius, that managed to corrupt its system, powered it back up. It now drifts from system to system, landing on planets, searching for lifeforms to infect, although that is impossible. Occasionally has moments where the erchius virus takes over and causes eventual circuit failure. The public doesn't know anything about it.

Lethia denies all claims that one of their mechs has gone rouge.

Personality:
Non-Corrupted:  A protocol-following AI, meaning that it has almost no sense of humor. Has to ask for clearance before entering an area and makes sure to remind everyone at how rich and powerful Lethia is.

Corrupted: Laughs at even the darkest jokes. Is an almost polar opposite of the non-corrupted variant. Very sarcastic and doesn't listen to orders. Also makes statements about homicide.

Mech Appearance: O-R-E has a Cyclops mech base, along with a drill and laser drill arm parts. The speaker above the enormous eye allows for speaking, although there is no volume alterer.
Background of the AI: O-R-E was made by a apex scientist working for Lethia. After creating the AI, he was immediately fired and not paid for his services. He has attempted to drag Lethia through every single courtroom in the universe, but to no avail. Letha has WAY too much money. Copies of the AI were made, so that if one went rouge, it wouldn't control all the mechs. Around five or six were stationed on each Lunar Base, excluding Lunar Base 12. A few different models have actual weapons and different mech bodies.
