UNSC Spirit of Fire AI Construct |
Serina is an artificial intelligence (AI) construct that is assigned to the UNSC Spirit of Fire, a modified Phoenix-class Colony Ship. She is set to be one of the main characters in the game Halo Wars, helping the players as they play the game.[1]
Overview
Little is known about Serina at this point other than the fact that she acts as a Military Advisory AI, which may, or may not be, her only function.[2] She is a smart AI, which is usually a sign of advanced memory capacity, like Cortana. In contrast, other AI's known throughout the Halo Canon exhibit only minor aspects of personality. Her avatar is a young female with long hair, clad in tight-fitting non-military clothing. Given that the Spirit of Fire was missing in action in 2531, and Smart AI only have about 7 years of run time before they "think themselves to death", she may become rampant before the ship and its crew return to UNSC territory. However, her sarcastic and dark personality already show some signs indicating rampancy. Given that the lifespan of a rampany AI is unknown, it is also unknown how long Serina may last for.
Trivia
- She is the first AI pictured in a game to wear clothes all over her body.
- "Spinning up FTL drives" is a reference to Battlestar: Galactica, which uses this phrase constantly when the Fleet enters Lightspeed.
- As said in the Halo Wars Manual, Serina seems to have a strange curiosity about chocolate.
- Serina, knowing the crew of the Spirit of Fire may be on a one-way trip, manufactured and delivered fake emails from family members to the crew celebrating Valentine's day. No one ever suspected her of this deception. [3]
- She has a very sarcastic and detached nature, so detached in fact that she even seems to disregard the lives of others (such as when the Flood infect Marines) and even her own ship's crew, (such as when the Spirit of Fire is slowly being pulled inside the shield world) almost always responding with some curious or even dark joke.
