EDI | Mass Effect

1: Bug in the Computer
EDI's mobile platform is, unexpectedly, transported separately from the larger mass of her primary processor. It's an interesting view, and she takes her time wandering, examining with interest the function and form of the massive computer in which she has been placed.

But if she sees someone in distress, well. There's no reason not to help, of course; she can always come back later. She's very friendly, and for all her mechanical appearance is very different indeed from the blunt and square-edged machines all around them.


2: Skeletons in the Closet
Tonk, tonk, tonk, tonk... Meta feet make her (eventual, delayed) passage through the more organic-friendly hallways obvious. EDI's body might have been built for infiltration, human-shaped as it is, but she is making no effort to conceal herself. Indeed she is, with considerable patience, mapping the turns, twists, and crossroads of these corridors; she seems otherwise unhurried, perfectly at-ease.

"Hello," She is a shining silver figure amongst all the ferrous dust and corroded years. EDI smiles at you, "Do you require assistance?"

3: Skipper's in the Wardroom
Meanwhile, the rest of EDI is parked in the shipyard. The Normandy SR-2, as the name on the side of the ship proclaims, is an enormous stealth-frigate painted in silver, blue and black. Despite its low profile, it stretches over two hundred meters of the shipyard, sleek and avian and (unlike many of the vessels present) humming with nascent life.

Not human life, not organic in any case, but the FTL core, and the power generators are all online, and the airlock is closed. EDI is not merely a humanoid robot, the largest part of herself is embodied in the ship itself. She is the Normandy, and the Normandy is her.

And anyone who approaches the ship, is probably going to eventually have to deal with that.


4: Crewmates in your Area
[Tell me a little about yourself.]
I am the Enhanced Defense Intelligence, an Artificial Intelligence originating from the human Systems Alliance. My friends prefer to call me "EDI".

[Are you a LEADER or a FOLLOWER?]
At current time, I prefer to follow.

[What is your best feature?]
I have many excellent features. For example, I am equipped with an FTL drive of significantly higher range than the norm, and my processors are capable of executing trillions of requests simultaneously. However, my best feature is clearly

My eyes.
