"Welcome to the bridge's Orion Piloting Field," smiled a small, nondescript creature. It tilted its head slightly and asked, "I take it you're Miss Liron? I'm Starfire. Well, its A.I. anyways." A slight flicker went through it's body. "Dratted backup projectors. Anyways, it's nice to meet you." It suddenly looked really eager. With a shimmer, it appeared on an arm of the chair. "Can I tell ya the ship schematics? Huh? Huh? Can I? How about the features of the OFP? Ship map? Training simulations? Come on... It's been so boring since they brought me online..."

((OOC comment: The AI is a character for anyone to use, pending approval from the good maintainer. It's basically genderless, unless you specify the form you'd prefer for it to be in around you. It can be anywhere that there's a holoprojector, and is eager to learn about the new crew. Think along the lines of an eager and curious kid at first. It has emotions as well. As for customizing the hologram, the voice changes, and a few minor personality changes to adapt. It's generally playful in the off hours, and hates being bored. If lots of people are around, it'd probably revert to the neutral form, unless it starts liking a particular form. I probably made it a bit too complicated, but it's easier than it sounds. ^_^ -J. Altoo))
