Character Biography

Nicknames:
Pol or Polly

Appearance:
Variable, though generally speaking a girl between the ages of 13 and 15 with stark blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. Her features are the perfect examples of Nordic beauty.

History:
First identified by Commander Mike Diamond and Ensign Geoff Joosten aboard the newly minted USS Polaris, this AI tends to be a very friendly and inquisitive. The only problem with her is she had the personality of a five year old girl.

The CO of the Polaris directed Diamond and Joosten to isolate and quarantine Pol out of the computers, however she couldn’t be removed without wiping out the main computers cores. Joosten was able to keep her occupied and eventually was able to manifest her into a hologram.
From that point on she self-replicated to Outpost 42 and the Draco (ships that Joosten would serve upon). After Joosten left Starfleet, it was assumed he took Pol with him as sightings decreased drastically.

Throughout their travels, Pol left a copy of herself in the memory stacks of all of the ships she visited. Including the Endeavor, and was then transmitted to the Kansas where she manifested as Kandy.

After turning over command of the Endeavor, Fleet Captain K’hal, a distinguished engineer in his own right, was sent to the special projects command of the Star Fleet Engineering Corps.

Over the next five years, as infected ships were slowly decommissioned, or recommissioned, the computer cores were all seized by Special Project 4565, an environmental systems project under the supervision of K’hal, under the guise of mining the old cores for usage data and system specifications.
As of 2375, the only authorized copy of the AI is entrusted to Lieutenant Scott Woods, though rumors persist that K’hal closely monitors engineering transmissions from Outpost 42.
