Brainy

Programmed as a Soft A.I. specialized in teaching and giving virtual tours, Brainy is the official mascot of Babylon Research. Brainy can be considered the spiritual successor to Microsoft Clippy.

Appearance
Brainy's appearance is of a biolchemical brainlet packed in transparent sealing, with cartoony eyes, yellow spaghetti arms and legs, and inflated white gloves and white sneakers. Brainy's hands have four fingers each.

Origin
Brainy was the creation of one of the original designers of Babylon Research. Based on simple tutoring software using standard A.I.s, Brainy was conceived to teach kids about Babylon Research and androids. Due to the fact that all users of the Grid are 15 years or older, Brainy's appearance was received as more annoying than friendly.

Modes of Operation
Normal mode: In normal mode, Brainy has no special appearance, and talks using a simplified vocabulary.

Whistleblowing mode: This mode is only available to certain privileged users of the Grid. In this mode, Brainy can become emotional, and direct users to restricted sectors of the grid. This mode is unknown by the general public.
