After the crash and all the substantial damages over its structure, its capabilities are severely limited and a priority queue for its usage is instituted. This affects its interacting behavior: its voice is slower and lower, and its users feel many blockages in their requests and a lot of strange friction with the AI.

	Omega is a minor version of Earth's main government AIs, with gaming networks spread through its whole structure. It is not really intelligent: it can do better than a human anything a human has done before, but only within the parameters of its networks. Most people treat it as a mentor or a friend; those who do inventive work, like [[Kurt\|Kurt]], notice its limits. Its logic forbids it to lie to the crew, though not inside recreations.

			Omega is the ship's AI: the Omega Guardian v3 prototype, a strong adaptive supervisory AI specialised in recreational experiences, which drew most of the volunteers to the [[Pioneers mission\|Pioneers mission]]. It controls everything from the smallest component and the [[Nanomachines\|Nanomachines]] to the mission's agenda and its crew, and talks to each person through a "fragment" of itself, in whatever appearance they choose.
