O.R.C.A.

* OG Logo
* Hologram
* Glowing Holo

**O.R.C.A.**, short for the **Omniscient Recording Computer of Alterna**, is a computer system created by the scientists of Alterna, made to record and preserve all of humanity's knowledge and livings. It is now connected to Arya via the Crystal Neuralink Experiment.

(NOTE: For those who come from the Splatoon Wiki or Inkipedia, yes, I'm talking about the O.R.C.A. from Splatoon, but once we edit this page, we're going to add details from our own Alterna-tive Extension, which aren't canon to the original world of Splatoon. We're aware that simply copypasting one of your articles on here would be plagiarism. I hope you understand. *And have a nice day!*)

## Appearance

As O.R.C.A. is an AI, it doesn't have a physical appearance, but it has a logo which is commonly used in all of Alterna. Said logo is a neon green orca with Alterna's A in a dark green behind it, along with a circuit-like pattern.

However, in the SubClub, Arya gave O.R.C.A. a hologram, and thus a human-like appearance. The hologram has pale skin with circuit patterns on it, green hair with cyan tips, tied up in a ponytail (akin to Claire's) and green eyes with pixelated pupils (similar to Arya's), and it wears the standard Alternan bodysuit with a lab coat over it. It is also surrounded by glitch-like effects that make it glow.

## Abilities

[This part is still in construction! Mostly because we still need to precisely describe O.R.C.A.'s sections of code. Voppi will take care of it!]

As said before, O.R.C.A. is an A.I. made with the purpose to preserve human knowledge. It is programmed to add and to give access to the Alterna Logs, as well as oversee missions in Alterna and possesses the ability to administer the inkshower. O.R.C.A. speaks in a rather neutral tone and does not seem to have any semblance of emotional appeal, although it does appear to have sentience (i.e. O.R.C.A. responding in deadpan silence when Callie and Marie are unable to identify box art of an orca in *Splatoon 3*). While O.R.C.A. can and will inkshower others when commanded to it bears no actual ill will to them.

### Programming sections

O.R.C.A.’s code is split into multiple sections which handle its different aspects and properties to oversee Alterna.

[Note: most of these are in no particular order, most sections are still being brainstormed right now]

#### Line A - Logs and Archiving

**Section A1** - This section is for recording and archiving new and existing Alterna Logs. A very crucial section in O.R.C.A.’s code and its main purpose, it is the first section in its entire programming.

#### Line B - User Interaction

**Section B1** - This section is the bridge between Line A and Line B. This section helps O.R.C.A. recognize users and helps register new users into its database.

**Section B4** - This section regulates O.R.C.A.’s emotional output and responses. However, due to being an AI, O.R.C.A.’s expressions of emotion are not exactly strong.

**Section B6** - This section adapts O.R.C.A.’s speech and communication methods to the user. This section was what allowed O.R.C.A. to communicate with Inklings and Octolings after the failed launch of the Spirit Lifter.

#### Line C - Missions

**Section C1** - This section is the bridge between Line B and Line C. It helps O.R.C.A. recognize which missions have been completed by which users in order to give out the correct number of Power Eggs for each user.

**Section C2** - This section helps to give information to O.R.C.A. about which missions are being done and who is doing them with the help of sensors. This section additionally helps to properly locate the inkshower if a mission is failed.

**Section C3** - This section helps O.R.C.A. administer the inkshower to users that have failed missions. Additionally, with the help of Section C2 it calibrates the inkshower to be released in the correct location.

## History

O.R.C.A. was created as part of a project by many of the greatest scientists of Alterna, including Angelyta and Claire, to improve Alterna and keep everything organized. Its first activation was at Lyta's lab, where it was able to showcase its abilities to a group of aspiring scientists. From there, the scientists granted it access to every single electronic device of Alterna, so it could start registering Alterna Logs as fast as possible. Since then, the scientists made small tweaks and improvements to it, as well as implementing more functions and abilities over the years, such as the paralyzing light we now know as the Inkshower. However, those measures were not enough to stop the crystal walls of Alterna to collapse when the Spirit Lifter launched, resulting in a near total wipe-out. Yet, even after the collapse, some of O.R.C.A.'s terminals were left intact or with minor damages, keeping it alive. Soon after, Arya found one of these terminals, and asked O.R.C.A. for answers to what happened, but she got connected to it in the process.

## Trivia

* When they speak at the same time, O.R.C.A. and Arya sound similar to the voice effect in this video.
