NPCs
Hypatia (
ascens)
Knows only by reputation, so far. Would prefer for things to stay that way.
Twosix-six (
bastione)
He's a fukkin AI and he turned Hypatia back on.:( Claims to have worked for the Resistance and disobeyed their orders to come to the station and save everyone from Hypatia's going nuts. Sarah is Very Unsure, but she won't shoot him on sight.
9
7 (
qcksilverspear)
Sarah's feelings on 7 are...complex. She feels terrible that 7 got caught by the T-X - Sarah's convinced that if only she'd taken the time to warn 7, she never would have gotten hurt. Currently Sarah's completely baffled by the fact that 7 apparently wants to kill her - she's sure that the T-X is behind this somehow, and again, she feels bad, but she's also going to keep her distance, both for 7's peace of mind and for her own safety.
2001: A Space Odyssey
HAL (
im_sorry_dave)
Dislikes. Distrusts. Is keeping her distance. At least until she can get a good shot.
Aliens
Corporal Dwayne Hicks (
uscm_corporal)
Met him at the showers and escorted him back to the barracks, much to T-800's displeasure. Trying her best not to creep him out unduly by constantly staring/being the crazy stranger who acts like they know you.
Sarah doesn't see Hicks much; she can respect him wanting to keep to himself, but she worries about him. He's awfully stressed out about those xenos.
Bioshock
Jack Wynand (
i_would_kindly)
Jack, you are...special. Sarah's glad that 7's found someone she cares about, and who cares about her, but she's also not sure quite about Jack. Still, he can fight off a T-X, at least temporarily, and that's worth something.
DC Animated Universe
Harley Quinn (
deardaffydoctor)
Kindred spirits? Another poor schmuck screwed over by the psychiatric system.
Fallout 3
Moira Brown (
moira_brown)
Uh.
There's something...wrong with this person. But the hints she's dropped about her history are intriguing, to say the least. Good thing she seems happy to answer all of Sarah's questions.
UPDATE: They fought a (holographic) big daddy together and lived. Maybe not bros for life, but that definitely counts for something.
Halo
686 Ebullient Prism (
creepersphere)
Creepy AI, you so creepy. As much as she distrusts the Spartans, he really, really can't understand how it expects anyone to believe that mud it's slinging.
Rookie (
huragokwhistler)
STILL UNSURE, not too impressed that he and his buddies haven't gotten around to shutting down Prism yet, but at least he's trying to reach out. In Sarah's mind, at least, Rookie is now the go-to guy whenever she has questions for the Spartans. Lucky him.
Hanna is Not a Boy's Name
{...} (
idkmybffhanna)
He's a zombie. Who likes reading during stationwide nightmare scenarios.
Also, despite glowing eyes, cannot in fact see in the dark.
Homestuck
Sollux Captor (
heterochromiia)
So, so angry and frustrated with, following Sollux's release of a prank virus on the network. REALLY? I mean REALLY? Some of us are trying to work here.
Mass Effect
Garrus (
savor_last_shot)
JESUS CHRIST IT'S A DINOSAUR ALIEN, GET IN THE CAR
Another one too trusting with names. Provided with alias 'Linda,' for now.
He seems to think there's some way they can get everyone to work together. Good luck.
Commander Shepard (
cmdr_renegade)
Sarah and Shepard are almost too similar to be really good friends. Most of the time they're too occupied with their own problems to really hang out, but Shep was kind enough to get drunk with Sarah after T-800 blew himself up, and Sarah trusts and likes her. Even if she's not too happy about some of what T and Legion have been up to.
Legion (
cohesions)
Hasn't met yet, but is very interested in doing so. He took her little girl's virginity interfaced with T-800 and Sarah is not happy about this at all.
Marvel Comics
X-23 (
painhelps)
Mutants and clones and neurological conditioning are not things Sarah is used to dealing with. Yeah, it would probably be safer to just shut the kid down before she hurts anyone, but...she's a kid. Sarah will be both keeping an eye on her and trying to figure out if there's any way she can help her.
Raptor Red
Red (
screeee)
Guess what, Sarah's friends with a raptor. There's never any telling what Red is going to do next, and somehow Sarah seems to have developed a habit of getting sucked into her plans. But Sarah likes her, and is amused by her. Having a thousand pounds of predator on your side never hurts, either.
Red vs. Blue
Delta (
alaspooryork)
She trusts Delta as much as she can trust any AI, at this point. She still sees him as a tool as often as not, and will boss him around like a jackass whenever she needs/something from him, without stopping to think that hey, maybe AI have feelings too. But Delta's infinite patience with her, combined with York's absolute trust in him and the fact that he's never been anything but sane and helpful, is slowly having an effect. She doesn't realize it yet, but she depends on Delta, and if anything were to happen to him, she'd do whatever she could to help get him back - and it wouldn't be entirely for York's sake.
That said, she also wouldn't hesitate to take Delta out if he ever did put York in danger, and she's still convinced that that's a real possibility. She wouldn't be happy about having to take Delta out to protect York, but she'd do it. You're welcome, York.
York (
howkickassiam)
York was Sarah's first human ally here. She's slowly come to terms with the fact that he's got an AI inside his head, and maybe that isn't the worst idea in the entire known universe.
Despite Delta's presence, she trusts York as much as she lets herself trust anyone. He's a genuinely good guy, and she admires the way he looks out for Red and anyone else he perceives as needing help. She's often annoyed by his tendency to put himself between her and danger and/or worry overmuch about her safety, especially when it means he keeps the truth from her or tries to make decisions for her. She also still thinks he's too naive and trusting, especially when it comes to AI. But she's come to depend on him more and more, and as she's gotten to know him better she's come to like him a lot. An awful lot. She was secretly thrilled when he asked her to Space Prom, and despite her uncertainties about letting anyone get too close and thereby make themselves a target for the T-X, York seems to have found his way past her defenses.
Washington and Epsilon (
edgeoflucidity)
Sarah was not at all impressed by her first encounter with these two, which consisted of Epsilon taking control of Washington's body on the network. She made her own terrible first impression in response, threatening to smash Epsilon's chip to keep him from taking over Washington again. Following a conversation with York and Delta, she's calmed down a lot, but she's still very distrustful of Epsilon, and not at all happy about the idea that UNSC AI like him and Delta can take over their hosts whenever they like.
Tucker (
has_a_hardline)
Sarah thinks Tucker is a pretty cool guy, she has a kid and doesn't afraid of Elites.
Silent Hill
Pyramid Head (
judgments)
What the fuck is this thing? It attacked out of nowhere, and gave her a good case of the creeps while it was at it. She hasn't seen it since T-800 blew himself up to kill it, and is very, very hopeful that it will stay gone.
System Shock
SHODAN (
machine_god)
OH MY GOD WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE HATE. SHODAN tricked Sarah into thinking she was a human and getting her past Hypatia's guard drones - where she promptly revealed herself as an AI, locked Sarah into Zone 7 and infected her with nanites. Sarah is terrified, pissed off, and actually hates SHODAN more than any Terminator, right now. She will be getting revenge and she'll do her best to make sure that SHODAN is never capable of doing anything like this ever again, if it kills her to do it.
Terminator
T-800 (
terminatenomore)
Sarah and T's relationship is a complicated one, a combination of parent/rebellious teenager-bodyguard/charge-commanding officer/soldier-bickering married couple. She totally depends on him to watch out for her and John and to accomplish whatever tasks she needs done, even as she gets frustrated with having to keep a constant eye on him to keep him out of trouble. She was crushed when he sacrificed himself to save her life, and shocked enough by his death that she started referring to him as 'he' rather than 'it.' She was also pissed as fuck when he came back and didn't tell her right away.
She has no idea that he killed her to save her from the Marker, and she also has no idea that his (over)protectiveness of her is anything but programming. Or if she does, she's certainly not admitting it, even to herself.
T-X (
t_x_unit)
FUCK IT'S A TERMINATOR. Sarah is horrified by its presence and by the fact that it so easily duped her into thinking it was 7 - she'll never forget that it was that close to her, that she fucking slept with it literally close enough to snap her neck. But it didn't, and as a result, Sarah is very aware that the T-X's strategy may not be to kill her on sight. John is its real target, and Sarah knows that the T-X will do whatever it takes to see John dead. She is equally determined that that isn't going to happen.
John Connor (
robots_omgh8u)
Her son, and the center of her world. Sarah is both thrilled to have him here, and wishes he wasn't, because she knows it's not safe for him here. She's used to John being ten years old, and is still very much getting used to the idea that this John is an adult and fully capable of looking after himself. She still has tendencies to (of course) mother him and look out for him, as well as try to keep him from doing anything that might put him at risk. Sarah's as likely to argue with John as she is with anyone else she's close to, but with John, she'll actually occasionally back down and let him win sometimes.
Transformers
Joseph Howard (
allshock_notalk)
Sarah's suitably impressed by his plan to build a network free from Hypatia's control. Since T-800 will no longer be available to help gather parts, Sarah has offered her own assistance instead. She wants to see this happen, too. Has no idea that he's a former robot or whatever (transformers, how do they work).
UP
Dug (
dug_the_dog)
Talking dog?...Nope. Impossible.
UPDATE: Yup. Possible. Apparently he's Howard's dog. Sarah does not know what to think.
