ALEPH



"That's ALEPH. It's a single artificial intelligence that oversees a Human Sphere computer network, including most major international technological systems. I can smell some Undead Alliance bastards mistreating everybody else in here. I guess it's the right time to save 'em right now."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Stench

ALEPH is the name of the single artificial intelligence that oversees the data network of the Human Sphere and most major international technological systems. The scope of its responsibilities is so broad that, in service of humanity and under O-12 supervision, a whole organizational structure has been created around it to assist in its functions. To fulfill its mission, ALEPH oversees a sizable fraction of all human activity as a sort of friendly, inconspicuous Big Brother whose only goal seems to be aiding them. And yet ALEPH does have enemies. The Nomad Nation has a bitter hatred for the only legitimate AI, convinced that humanity is but a hapless puppet furthering its secret agenda. And there is also the Evolved Intelligence, whose confrontations with ALEPH are clashes of titans on an epic scale.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, it is a member state of the Grand Alliance due to the Undead Alliance's mistreatment among many ALEPH citizens.
