Nelson II

Neuro Electron Lead System Organizing Navy II

Mothermachine and SII Cybertronics are working on NELSON II that is expected to go online in 5020 and replace NELSON. The original system is despite its upgrades no longer able to process the googol byte data streams generated. NELSON II will then be the most sophisticated Omni-Tronic, equal to Mothermachine in almost all aspects, but NELSON II is carefully kept Non Sentient. Although it is capable of simulating a Personality and is represented via an Humanoid Avatar Projection modeled after the Name sake of the machine Admiral Nelson. As for its simulated personality it is said to have been modeled after Richard Stahl. (by initiative of Mothermachine and without the actual knowledge and consent of Stahl).[1] An Emergency Switch routine can be implemented to either activate NELSON II fully and make him sentient or completely shut it down in case the Ego Development fail saves don't catch. Building such a large and intelligent system and not make it become self aware is very tricky and required the full expertise of Mothermachine and the best Intelligence System engineers the Union had to offer. Sentient super systems are not stable in most cases and become rebellious and do not want to serve but to be served. Even Stable super systems must remain the exception as the moral and ethical questions are not answered in a satisfactory way. By Assembly Decision, only Mothermachine may produce sentiment Machines.

NELSON II will replace NELSON and assist Fleet Command pressing the Data Flood generated. One of the declared main tasks of the new System is Report processing and filtering. Thus it is hoped criminal organizations such as the Worm can be completely eliminated from within the fleet.

[1] It is a simulated personality as how Mother Machine percieved Richard Stahl. The result is a very serious, straight laced personality that is fanatically law abiding and correct in all things.
