 === 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.

Perseus was state-of-the-art at the time of the //Hazen's// refit in the late 2100s and remains a venerable ship control system compared to smaller craft. While AIs fitted to more recent capital ships have eclipsed Perseus's performance, InterCore scientists project that hardware and system upgrades will keep the system operating efficiently and competitively for at least another decade.

 === 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.
+//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. Prophecy breaks this limitation by utilizing a vast network of programmable logic processors (not unlike a modern-day [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-programmable_gate_array|FPGA]]). Although this system is perhaps not quite as efficient as a nanotechnological approach, Prophecy's ability to generate its own advanced hardware-level logic gives it a significant learning capacity, and is capable of expanding its knowledge organically.
+InterCore unveiled Prophecy to the public in early 2202, and to this day it is still recognized as one of the leading machine intelligences in Recom space. Prophecy provides significant assistance for in-house scientific and R&D projects for InterCore, and processing time is also leased to other companies for scientific research. Students studying computer science in Oceanian universities enjoy free (though restricted) access to the AI as well.
+The success of //Operation Prophecy// has led to an even more ambitious off-shoot of the AI, the //Pathos Project//.
