The House

The House isn't just an AI. It's a powerful AI, and it's used to tracking down vast amounts of information, from a network much, much larger than the port's, and processing it in a matter of seconds or minutes, maximum. The House is also very good at hacking.

But! It doesn't care about most people, it has stuffy ideas about privacy and politeness, and if worst comes to worst, the Core can interfere. So this is both a perms post for you and an info post for me.

If you DON'T want the House to dig up details about your muse on the network, please tell me so I can figure out how to keep it in the dark/distract it from research.

If you're okay with the House doing a bit of homework on your pup, especially if they've interacted (which would pique the House's interest), I'd really appreciate a short summary of the kind of information it would find by analyzing your character's NV use history, including what you do and don't want me to let it hack.

ETA: If your character has discussed their favorite foods on the network, this is the kind of info the House will actually pay attention to. Because it wants to feed you the right kind of cookies.

So...this is a freaking weird character to play.

If you think I'm failing at making the house too human/not human enough/something is just wrong, please let me know! Alternately, if you just want more info on its obscure canon (The Risen Empire and The Killing of Worlds by Scott Westerfield) or to discuss SF issues or characterization or plotting or just about anything, feel free to shoot me a PM or leave a comment here.
