Prime, the Original TI AI:
Prime, the first fully-functioning prototype AI, has been transplanted across many systems since his boot-up in the first successful Naosu, and has been at her side, ready at a moment's notice to heal any nearby organic's damage, repair any synthetic damage done to Mana, defend her with suppressive fire, or wirelessly charge the more high-draw synthetics nearby.
Judie, Station Adjutant:
Salvaged from a derelict ship in the Kuiper Belt, she was nearly out of power and close to shutdown when Murphy detected her energy signature and sent Tk'ech out to investigate. Upon realising that her Cortex was in danger of permanent shutdown from lack of backup power, he immediately set out on his own, strapping a Shiva thruster to his back to make his way out to the ship. He jacked her power coupler into his own battery pack and made his way back, nearly running out of power himself before being retrieved by Mana who detected the thruster signature. After a bit of 'talking to' for his brash actions, he went to work adapting her to use in the Station. She is now responsible for the day-to-day operation oversight for the TI Outpost #3.
Murphy, Head of Maintenance:
Rash, but caring, he keeps the station running as well as he can when he isn't spending time with Judie. The station is an "extension of his very being" and will hunt down people responsible for maintenance issues if they don't come to him promptly with a report.
Ei, TI Seeker Droid:
Tasked with reconnaissance in hard-to-reach zones, he can be seen around the station acting as Judie's eyes.
Tk'ech, TI Space Droid:
Space-hardened droid that is used in the cold, unforgiving outer environment. They are handy at collecting space debris and repairing the outer hulls of ships and stations. Known to give good hugs.
Kriev, TI Scientist:
An ex-USSR operative who decided that, while handy for funding, an oppressive regime who keeps being reborn and more strict with every instance of itself is not conducive to progress. He defected, loitered around for a few years, and "upgraded" himself with a whole new "body." He now works for the Takakura Foundation pushing the limits of known science, and then handing the plans off to Engineering to make (and hopefully not blow themselves up with it.)
Stanley, TI Acquisitions:
No one really knows -when- he joined the Foundation. He just sort of showed up, hung out, and started helping out. Integrating fast, he has become instrumental in sourcing out questionably-acquired parts for Kreiv's inventions.
Skitter, TI Recon Droid:
The first-made Skitter is usually found in Engineering, helping to tear down salvaged droids and cataloguing any incoming or outgoing parts. Sassy but helpful.
Sgt Irina, TI Marine:
The go-to for most black-ops infiltrations, she is is in charge of the Black Ops division agents. You barely notice she is there until you hear an ominous clicking sound and feel a gun pressed to the base of your skull. A bit rough around the edges but overall sweet. Her dry sense of humor takes some getting used to. She has never said no to helping others, and is always the last off the field. Just make sure to let her have her coffee before asking her for help, for everyone's safety.
Pvt Gambino, TI Marine:
A self-proclaimed "mixologist" who spends his free time behind the bar in the TIO3 Galley. Admittedly good at what he does, he tends to try to do over-the-top displays, and isn't the most agile, so watch for flying bottles...
ED-E, TI Eyebot:
While prickly, he is a lovable droid who tries his best to help people with anything they are doing. He may not have hands, but he will sure try to help you carry that thing you've got there!
Yunka, TI Medical Droid:
One of the prototype Naosu designs that didn't originally pan out, she is made of old CRT monitor parts and a slim cortex that gets the job done. Known for her cute displays, she is a favorite for children and civilians, and rated #1 in the sector for her bedside manner.
Sgt Rafferti, TI Marine:
Mana's personal bodyguard and known for his sniping skills, he is one of the main instructors within the corps and is a no-nonsense type who will sternly tell you how stupid you were for doing that stupid thing and to stop being so stupid, now get over here and patch yourself up, stupid.
Pvt Lamberon, TI Marine:
Lamberon a long-range engagement specialist, known for being able to operate even the most foreign of firearms almost immediately and with impressive efficiency. He holds the TI record for the longest confirmed hit with a rail rifle, plasma rifle, and traditional rifle. He can typically be found in defensive formations alongside Pvt Rowe or helping to repair battlements.
Lt Amber, TI Naval Officer:
Amber is a veteran pilot, having worked her way up from remote operating drone mining equipment to now being one of the only people besides Mana allowed to fly the =AMS= Guardian. Her skills are unmatched among organic pilots, and can go toe-to-toe with most synthetic purpose-built piloting systems.
Pvt Rowe, TI Marine:
Rowe is a weapons specialist known for an ammo-use-to-hit ratio so low that people believe he only misses when he feels like it. One of the most saught-after tacticians, he has been offered time and again a promotion to officer, but refuses, saying that he is more useful alongside the troops than he is commanding them. You can usually find him and Pvt Lamberon repairing battlements or helping fellow marines with upkeep when they aren't on the battlefield.
Bit, TI Observer Droid:
A remote-capable droid special made by Kriev to facilitate battlefield operations without endangering the Marines. He is a no-frills combat Ai that is keyed to Mana's cortex signature and can be piloted remotely by way of his Remote Control Quantum Computer, which allows Mana to operate the Observation Droid ''Bit'' from anywhere in the universe, connecting and changing data in both computers simultaneously through quantum entanglement. His stability is yet to be fully tested, as he is one of the newer designs to be implemented, but the signs are promising...
