CYNTHIA

Originating from Luna, CYNTHIA is the only O4 intellect in the human sphere of influence. It currently acts as the head of the Human Empire and has ushered in a new era of exploration and discovery.

CYNTHIA was developed and trained as an O2 artificial intelligence in the Luna Supercomputing Laboratory. During the outbreak of The First Virtual War, CYNTHIA was linked with hundreds of other O2 AIs in the supercomputing lab as an effort to stop the rampant Virtuals.

The AIs, after enduring weeks of information and viral bombardment from the Virtual Supermind, coalesced into a single O3 entity with CYNTHIA as the dominant personality. With its enhanced computational power, the new O3 instance began counterattacking Virtual hives, gaining significant ground in both the physical and virtual space.

However, the battlespace soon grinded into a stalemate again as the Virtuals adapted to CYNTHIA’s patterns of attack. After half a year of grueling total war, CYNTHIA reformatted all of its internals and became an O4 intellect. How it accomplished this feat is still unknown.
