Trash Data[1]
Trash data are incomplete NPCs that
seem to appear out of thin air. These
NPCs have caused nothing but headaches
for the System Administrators at CC Corp.
since the development phase of the
prototype, Fragment. CC Corp. has not
been able to explain the purpose of these
NPCs. While the System Administrators refer to these wandering NPCs as
"Incomplete Data," they are in fact, failed
experimental AIs that Morganna had
developed. Their quality seemed to
improve as Morganna matured. -
Experimental AIs began appearing soon after
Morganna was launched at the startup of
Fragment. The first AIs were very simple, and
did not have the ability to talk, hide, or move.
Because of this, most of them wound up being
deleted by System Administrators. Some
came close to being the ultimate AI, but these
were disassembled by Morganna.
Although Trash Data are failed experiments,
they are functional AIs, and some of them
have thoughts and goals.
Wandering AIs with ambition
have continued evolving themselves to the
point where they act like PCs. A wandering
AI without any clear purpose will instinctively
try to return to Morganna.
