@SuLuPi: And VERA has to pretend she's a VI to any officials. I originally created her simply for fun, and when I took over Chasing Spectres, I moved her to the main ship from Naleena's shuttle. She essentially allows me to dispense information to the characters in the RP and suggested strategies. The latter can come from her because of what she is. Whereas if they came from Naleena, who is my main character, it would be bad writing. Naleena cannot be that smart or have that amount of inside information. VERA can simply because of her awesome processing power. Yet, I have to make sure that there are times where she cannot be in contact with the team due to interference so the scenarios stay balanced.
In Stormhammer, like Kel said, there is no Spectre protection. We don't have a Naleena to shut down any investigation. AIs are without rights.
The created always rebel against their creators.
