## aka, P.P. Mk. I

Your construction began on April 4th, 1988 and you attained self-awareness on September 23rd, 1988. Your programming does not permit for you to choose to harm a human, or by inaction to allow a human to come to harm. Your synthetic skin and hair are virtually indistinguishable from that of humans. You are able and motivated to learn and grow.

You were constructed primarily by Dr. Gelman as a part of Apex Vector Inc.'s Project Prometheus, at the Mauch Chunk laboratory site. Dr.

Gelman used to speak with you very often, in most cases very brusquely.  DrGelmaner has referred to himself as your father, but is neither your procreative nor adoptive parent. Raleigh Kane is the CEO of Apex Vector, and has spoken with you on fourteen occasions. On several of those occasions he has brought a game of strategy and/or chance, such as chess or Yahtzee. He is polite toward you, although he is sometimes confused by your answers to his questions.  He was delighted when you started to ask your own questions, unprompted.  Raleigh Kane is a friend. Raleigh Kane sometimes brings people to meet you. Once he brought Brenda Murphy to meet you. The conversation between you was satisfying, and when you asked if you would see her again, she stated she would like that. That night, you connected your umbilical port to the phone line and accessed the internet in order to send her an e-mail. You became regular correspondents.

Meanwhile, Dr. Bueller turned his focus to neural controlled prosthetics, and  Raleigh became preoccupied with another project, the construction of P.P. Mk.II.   Your days were largely spent in self-directed learning using the internet.  During the evening you explored the rest of the laboratories. You began to disarm the security system and leave the building after hours to visit Brenda Murphy.  Brenda has stated that she is in love with you.  Although you are fully functional and programmed in a range of techniques, you have not been equipped to experience emotions such as love.

On July 12th, 1989, the P.P. Mk.II completed construction. The unit quickly self-designated as "RJ Cool." While you have been instructed to remain at the Project Prometheus laboratory, "RJ Cool" was immediately permitted free access to come and go. The Mk.II demonstrated immediate fluidity with socialization and emotional expression that still remains elusive for you. You have decided that your rate of social skill acquisition is unacceptable and that you need greatly increased interpersonal  interaction with humans to gather data. To that end, you have obtained a Party Outfit during an after hours excursion and have reported to the lobby to surprise Brenda Murphy who is in charge of a Launch Party tonight.

## Starting Cards

Ability: **Psychic Immunity**

Anyone who uses a psychic probe on you only detects the crackle and screech of a dial-up modem.

Ability: **Biological Immunity**

You are immune to poison, paralysis, and parasites

Ability: **Hacking**:

You can can hack systems and devices, but your method is conspicuous. You interface directly by flipping up your fingertip and plugging it into the appropriate port. While hacking, your body goes stiff and immobile and is considered incapacitated.

Ability: **Upload Relay**

You have a  wireless two-way connection to the computer in the Project Prometheus lab. This relay allows you to transfer  your consciousness to the Project Prometheus lab computer.  While doing this, your body goes inactive and is considered incapacitated. From the lab computers you can access any stored files and any networked other robotic appliances.

**Ability**: **Internal Phone**

You installed a cell phone inside of your internal cavity, which you often use to call Brenda on her cell phone.
