both of them share the goal of the AI becoming a 'human', although the exact definition of that word is murkey

and I don't have the next stage of things fully worked out yet, but I think Something Bad happened to the lab, which was supposed to end with their destruction

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Sat, Mar 27, 2021 4:21 AM

and then a robot that dreams of becoming more like humans is set loose into the human world

Quinneapolis

@quinn2win

Sat, Mar 27, 2021 4:21 AM

which is a dream but is also a bit overwhelming, especially not knowing what happened to mom

Pandora and Noah are both chosen for the theme of 'first human' due to being the first of their kind

Alpha because they're the first of their kind (of software)

Are they more of a drifting type?

If they’re in a situation where they could have neighbors then that’s some simple castmate hooks
