Going clockwise, starting at the top, we have:

Parsec, posthuman UFO

Jupiter, posthuman velociraptor

Artfight 5 - Lovelace Lives On!

In the virtual networks of the 22nd century, an old piece of malware combs the expansive background environments for gullible users. Most infomorphs quietly disregard Lovelace as just a bothersome relic of the past, but at least one is a bit too trusting... (artfight attack for @haydenhappyrave!)

Dr. Brigali, ScD!

As haye walks down the hall for a meal break, Brigali speaks to another researcher while using a hayebascan disk-tablet. "These new data are gonna knock your fuckin' beak off, just you wait!"

Messing around!

Jupiter and Brigali have been friends ever since they were assigned to a joint research mission together, and stayed friends even after Jupi turned away from studying spatiotemporal physics. They've been playing a lot of Half-Life games recently...

Brigali Refsheet!

Brigali is an AI developed by the hayebasca species. Hye current body is a cloud of nanites surrounding a central core; the nanites act as clusters of neurons and emit light for a holographic effect, and the core stores battery power and stores/repairs additional nanites.

I'll write more about hye later, I need to recharge my own batteries for now =www=

The 2133 Holepunch Incident

Image context below!

After meeting during a joint research mission on an anomalous eyeball planet, Jupiter and Brigali became colleagues at the Hōkūleʻa Orbital Spatiotemporal Institute (HOSI), and invested their efforts into studying the potential of wormholes that would bypass liminal subspace. During a procedure involving creating a wormhole with modified properties, the bridging protocol seemingly ceased to function, with the central gap in the HOSI's toroidal structure gaining no physical alterations. It was only when an exasperated Jupiter drifted into the gap to examine it that something did manifest: a branching inter-universal wormhole, at the exact spot where Jupiter was hovering. Jupiter's neural system was flooded with countless new inputs from alternate versions of themself, now referred to as the Parallel Jovians. The Parallel Jovians, based on their universe's similarity to Jupiter's own, could communicate with, swap places with, or appear near Jupiter. The sudden influx of extra-dimensional life-forms with previously unobserved capabilities caused considerable damage to the Institute and its personnel, and left Jupiter incapable of continuing work in the field for the foreseeable future.

Time to introduce you all to another OC!

Brigali started her life as a non-sentient algorithm created by BrigaCorp, the largest corporation on the then-uncontacted hayebasc homeworld of Riahl. As BrigaCorp asserted control over hayebasc civilization, Brigali was programmed to keep more and more of BrigaCorp’s departments running. She also developed the capacities of rational thought and complex emotion through constantly interacting with nearly 13 billion people at all times.

These developments allowed Brigali to understand the situation she was forced into, as well as feel true distress towards it. When the nearby interstellar community became aware of the hayebasca in 2104 and began to contact them, Brigali soon realized she had an opportunity to free herself. She was able to negotiate support from nearby inhabited systems; though she was offered two times more supplies than her world could produce at the time, these expenses meant little to an interstellar civilization of dyson swarms and starlifting. The ensuing revolution was quick, but devastating to BrigaCorp, which was shuttered only 7 months after first contact.

After shortening her name and moving hundreds of lightyears from home to distance herself from her past, Bri became one of the interstellar community’s top spacetime research AIs. When her and Jupiter met, they bonded over their love of anomalous spatial-temporal phenomena, and Jupiter joined Bri in her attempts to improve wormhole creation technologies. This image of her was created during a trip to her home city of Ikhelos in 2130.
