Imagine, if you will, everyone in TPH, on a Discovery like journey to Jupiter....
Like in 2001, some may have to be cryogenically frozen while the a couple of them stay awake.
The main computer is the LAZ-9000, the most perfect computer ever made, and has every single F-Zero GX song in it's memory banks. It can understand sign language, but not lips. [just in case]
Rob Falconi, since Laz is a taken name now, will be the techy guy. he knows just how every piece of technology on the ship works, and how to fix them.
Argus Swift is the main mechanic and technology operator. He can go into the pods to inspect the outside of the ship and else things with great skill, or if he wants to just do a small reconiscience mission, he uses his Pyro-GX to fly out to the intended spot, but for a short time only, the Pyro-GX can't hold that much oxygen.
Genin Jehuty can sneak into the mainframe of the comptuer and work the LAZ-9000 from the inside of his mainframe. He can also use remote controlled Jehuty mini-mechs for unmanned close range exploration or outside repairs.
Byte, as he is solely known as, can work any software on the computer that will be needed, and can make any new programs as he sees fit.
Nightmare X is there soley for moral support by making others feel superior, since he will be wearing a clown costume at all times.
Antha is the one that can keep track of all storage needs singlehandidly, with little help, and can make everyone else feel ebtter through humour or other means. Her assistant, Jody, is the one that can get the job done, either by herself or forcing someone else to do it. They are the ones that manage all tasks undertaken by all the crew.
Protoman, or Nate, is the commander of the mission. he leads with style, influence, and skill. No one ever doubts his word, for his intellect is a shear indicator that he is an extremely able leader. His 'gestapo' [sp?] of sorts, Bladegash, is the one that maintains control when tempers flare. He is the near entireity of the local law enforcement.
Megakevin.exe is a sub program on the LAZ-9000. If, should under any circumstances, the LAZ-9000 fail in it's programming, a manual switch is turned and an alternate 'brain' is taken place of the LAZ-9000. Not as effective as the LAZ, but certaintly better than a psychotic killing computer.
I think I forgot someone....... Oh well, they can assign their task if they want to, or ask me for it.
I think that went pretty good in my head..... Anyone else's thoughts?
