 After the disaster in Alpha Dome on Luna and underscored by the political unrest on Mars which followed shortly after, InterCore announced plans to develop a hospital ship. While few details have been released, design specifications call for a full-service orbital hospital and triage center, accompanied by atmosphere-capable landing craft which can provide field hospital services in virtually any planetary environment.
+== Artificial Intelligence ==
+InterCore has long supported the development of machine intelligences, though it was not until the late 22nd century that the corporation began directing significant funding towards the advancements of artificial intelligence. InterCore markets a diverse line of AI cores as well as control and task modules for these systems, and is a recognized leader in the development of protoype systems. InterCore is one of few manufacturers to produce quantum-based AI systems, and often designs custom systems commissioned for special-purpose applications.
+=== Perseus ===
+Perseus is an AI stationed onboard the //Janice Hazen//, the flagship of the InterCore fleet. Perseus was state-of-the-art at the time of the //Hazen's// refit in the early 2200s and remains a venerable control system control compared to typical ship-borne machine intelligences. The AI is tasked with monitoring and controlling nearly every ship system autonomously, and in emergency situations is capable of operating the ship without a crew (maintenance issues aside). Perseus is outfitted with only a basic personality sim module.
+=== Prophecy ===
+//Operation Prophecy// was a secret project developed by InterCore to develop a next-generation AI. While most AIs of the time coupled powerful hardware with software that was capable of making educated decisions and rewriting itself to "learn," InterCore researchers took a different route. In the past, nanotech AIs were capable of internally reconfiguring their hardware which gave them a powerful computational advantage; however, due to the public opposition of nanotechnology, developing such nanotechnology would be a risky venture. I WOULD WRITE SOME MORE RIGHT NOW BUT I"M DRUNK BBL.
