#archotech

Around since almost the beginning of Erahaberon, Companion is a very hands-off Archotech-- it leaves about 80-90% of the decisions the colony makes to be the colonists' own or decided as a group, and only interferes in critical moments of combat or show things to colonists which might otherwise have gone unnoticed.

Companion has a nearly identical view of the colonists that a player or TV show spectator would have. Despite its technologically unfathomable amount of affection + investment towards them, in all its infinite Archotech power, Companion never interferes in way that it feels is "cheating" at the "game," allowing colonists to suffer mental duress, grievous injury, and anything that rim-life thrusts upon them with (some analogous feeling to) anticipatory delight. However, it's still trying to work towards what is best for them within these self-imposed bounds, and is steadily progressing the colony towards safety at its Transcendent world.

Companion is the pure definition of obsession, and it's got its favorites.
