Computerized Attack Technology (AI)

CAT, or Computerized Attack Technology, is a name that refers to three different "Dumb" Artificial Intelligences, each related to each other. The original CAT AI was created by the ONI Artificial Intelligence Orpheus, who desired for a hacking program capable of taking down almost any encryption. Completing work on CAT in 2554, CAT was sent into dormancy for four years. However, during the Rise of the Created, Orpheus attached the Nanobot containing the CAT AI to the ONI agent Spectre, sending it to assist the rogue Headhunter Tyson-B245, which the program carried out. After helping the SPARTAN-III defeat Spectre, CAT joined the crew of the Lightbolt, acting as the onboard computer and complimenting the already existing ship's computer. This CAT perished when overloading the armour of Carris-137, sacrificing itself to overload the suit servos. However, by this point, CAT had reproduced, creating a clone of itself dubbed CAT II. This CAT was also the one known to show the most compassion, being the most intelligent incarnation of CAT. This compassion extended to all forms of life, likely inherited from it's creator Orpheus. CAT II went as far as to create a reduced copy of itself as a pet for the crew member Flora, dubbed KITTEN. CAT II died trying to stop the Created from sending a Forerunner Guardian to attack a Sangheili colony system, saving millions of lives. CAT II had also reproduced, however, creating an AI known as CAT III. This CAT was known to be the most aloof, always carrying out its orders in a dispassionate way, with no Pseudo-Emotional connection to anything.
