Character Information ;
Name: Intelligence Program Delta

Canon/AU/Original: AU (Red vs. Blue from these logs).

Reference: Here is his wiki page; here is one on AI in the Haloverse.

Canon Point: Post-Out of Mind; post-second log linked above.

Setting: It is the middle of the 26th century. Humankind, once spread out over many successful worlds by faster-than-light Slipspace travel, came under an attack by an alien Covenant of races whose religion declares their very existence anathema. The Covenant was better organized, better equipped, and far larger in population than the humans, and we have been losing the war world by world for nearly three decades. The United Nations Space Command, or UNSC, has been trying desperate strategy after desperate strategy to get some kind of advantage, but few have ever shown any successful results. As the aliens spread their reach ( ... )

Personality: Delta is logical. The entire purpose of his creation was to separate the logic from the emotional centers of the original AI so it would not realize what was occurring as it split. So, while he is not pure logic as a "dumb" AI might be, he is unfamiliar with and at times uncomfortable around strong human emotions. As clearly shown in the last episode of Out of Mind, he is strongly attached to his partner; even when given an opportunity to work with the top-rated Agent in the field, he prefers to stay with York and be deleted rather than let him die alone and in pain. This decision is noted as kind by Tex, to which Delta responds "It's just part of what makes us human" - ironic, of course, as he had earlier noted the human perspective as flawed, yet he recognizes the tendency to react emotionally in severe circumstances within himself as well. Another example of this trend is noted later in canon, when he remarks to Church that, once part of the Meta, he may not want to help Church and his allies anymore ( ... )

He cannot transmit himself over radio waves like Omega or Alpha, however, so he must have some kind of interface with a system to manipulate it (such as through York's armor). Delta is highly vulnerable to EMP and physical damage to his chip, and if York's armor shuts down he will return to an "asleep", encrypted state until recovered. He is also "weak" in another sense: being a creature of logic, Delta rarely understands the nuances of human society or conversation. He frequently asks for clarification from York regarding irrational human behavior. Lastly, he is forced by his programming to obey override commands issued by someone of sufficient UNSC rank. While York's commands take precedence over other Freelancers, there are others including the Director whose commands will override York's.

Inventory: His entire physical form is one business card-sized AI chip. It has a miniature holographic tank for small-scale projection.

Appearance: See picture linked under "Inventory". Delta is also capable of projecting a ( ... )

Log Sample:
It was beginning to seem as though they would not, in fact, have enough time to reach the teleporter before the dinosaur would catch up to them.

"Bear left," he advised York, his holographic form "running" in the air to keep pace with him. It was not necessary to do so, but long ago Delta had found that it was easier for York to accept a running form than a stationary one - it made him think of Delta as more "real" somehow. And as it took minimal effort to sustain, Delta was more than happy to comply.

Taking a left led them through an area of forest where the trees were closer together, hopefully impeding the progress of the Allosaurus amplexus following them. Still, it was a temporary solution at best, and it was not leading them any closer to a teleportation device. Delta ran a quick but detailed analysis of the map of this garden section, hoping to find a landmark or other means of gaining the advantage over the dinosaur. Finally, he seized upon a useful-looking ravine ( ... )
