Morva (AI)

== First encounter ==
Morva is the name Rachel Lucas gives to the broken AI of the eponymous, partially destroyed, ship from which, along with Ashley, Kika and Theea, she has been trying to salvage a weapon for Tsarin.
Ashley manages to find out that Morva, the AI, has suffered extra subspace damage when Morva, the ship it was piloting at the time, suddenly dropped from thread space into the place the Durangans who live nearby call the Graveyard, and broke into three main chunks. The core's physical location was in the part of the ship that still had power.
That kind of damage has never been documented before, and it is impossible to know whether the AI's core may repair itself over time as an AI usually does.
At any rate, the way Lauren plays Morva, with short sentences made of very few disconnected words such as Crew... Gone... Broken... Fix..., and long silences, conveys real distress and gets Ashley to try and help and salvage whatever remains from Morva's shattered core.See .
== Fixing Morva ==
The crew bring Morva to Echo.
The diagnosis given by the AI named Blue after examining Morva is that they are beyond repair, and cannot access their memories. They leave the crew with two possibilities: either let the AI euthanize Morva, or keep her in her disconnected, dreamlike state in the hope that they find a way to fix her.See .
Morva is eventually merged with Oxana, who gains new feelings in that risky operationSee .. As Oxana puts it:What remained of Morva is still here. I'm not just Oxana. 
== The evolution of an NPC ==
Lauren clarified on Discord what Morva initially was:Morva was 100% unplanned, she was initially a broken hostile AI that they would have to contend with, when they reacted with so much empathy I wanted to capitalize on that, so she became not hostile.
