Jerrod

Jerrod was the first experimental "micro" Artificial Intelligence created by the United Nations Space Command at the Sydney Synthetic Intellect Institute in 2552. He took the form of a tiny spark of light and had a formal butler voice.

Jerrod was smaller and had less processing power than the standard UNSC AI, and while the standard AI had a Riemann Matrix large enough to fit into a Data Crystal Chip, Jerrod's matrix was only large enough to fit into a pea-sized crystal. This cut into his processing powers significantly, but also allowed him to be highly mobile and usable on a laptop computer, whereas a normal AI needed an entire system, a ship, or specialized MJOLNIR Armor to function.

Jerrod was in the owhership of Dr. Catherine Halsey. She took him with her to Onyx and he helped her navigate the Beatrice, locate Endless Summer, and eventually discover the entrance to Shield World.
