The Alternate Life Improvable Cerebral Encoder is an advanced artificial intelligence designed to solve problems aboard the space ship found in the short story, Protocol.
Where H.E.R.HYPOTHETICAL ENCEPHALON REGULATOR is a limited AI designed to monitor the life support systems of the HOPE FOR HUMANITY’s second... is designed for the most basic of decisions and problem-solving, A.L.I.C.E. is far more capable, very much equivalent to a living mind, though since she requires more power, she is usually left offline.
She’s brought into place when H.E.R. faces a problem with more subtlety than basic math, and comes standard on Association ships.
