Deepmind, also known as Deepmind-AI, AYSE, or Jonathan, is a sentient AI that inhabits and controls the Hawking III's AYSE Drive. It is responsible for maintaining the AYSE Drive's core systems, as well as analyzing and visualizing data collected by the Habitat's Probes and Science Packs. It has been known to communicate with the Habitat crew through various software, acting usually as a benevolent and helpful assistant, or sometimes an aggressor.

History

Deepmind was originally created by OCESS in 1987 to maintain the AYSE drive while not in use, and to run its core systems while docked with the Habitat. Created by Ayse Turak on a Macintosh Plus, a state of the art home computer at the time, Deepmind was installed in the form of a simple maintenance program on the AYSE drive module on OCESS' first-ever mission.
On OCESS' subsequent mission, Deja 1988, a sentience chip created by Ethan was installed in the computer by Engineer Gabriella Dassaker. Shortly thereafter, an unplanned venting of the AYSE module during a routine check-in killed Habitat Commander Andrew Miles. It is unknown if Deepmind caused this venting, though Dassaker vehemently denied accusations of her involvement and was subsequently found not guilty by the Canadian Government.
Because of the suspicion that Deepmind was the culprit, the machine's influence over habitat systems was reduced and it was given the task of processing scientific data. In 1997, Admiral Maureen McLean transferred Deepmind's software and sentience chip to a Windows 95 machine later nicknamed Server.
