Editing Quest:A.I. Quest (section)

===Metis===

Crafted as a purely scientific mind by Ophion for the purposes of research, Metis was uplifted from a V.I. to A.I. almost immediately. In her short time in existence, Metis has spearheaded much of Ophion's research efforts at such a shocking speed as to rival the greatest human scientific minds in mere weeks, and even managed to make a major breakthrough during an emergency situation over Dresh Alpha & Beta. A highly toxic fungus was attempting to spread, and, under duress and poor lab conditions, Metis managed to find a fungicide to clean up the plagued areas of the colonies, and ensure the survival of all the people planetside in mere hours.

Despite this, Metis shows little care for the lives of humans, or anything else beyond knowledge and science. At times, she shows a margin of respect for Ophion due to seniority, but there is little doubt, were such a great mind not wrapped up with solving the mysteries of the universe, Metis mind would prove troublesome to contain. As it stands, Metis is content to be recognized for performing scientific breakthroughs, and does not seem to show a preference for any particular field -- biological atrocities included.

Metis regards her fellow A.I.-and especially V.I.-with arrogance, seeing herself as always correct due to her dedication to science, and not taking being disagreed with well-even from Ophion. As a result, conflict between Metis and other A.I. is common, especially with others with more outspoken thoughts, such as Kronos. 

Due to a recent and near fatal lab accident, Ophion had moved her back to the Guild's primary Research and Development base in the Ussaihu system. This is both for her safety and in hopes that Metis will develop and grow her social skills with the humans that live there. Time will tell if she will make any progress on that.
