Spark

Role: Salvaged AI Core

Description: Spark is an ancient AI core, salvaged from a pre-Collapse research facility and installed into the mainframe of Steamfort Outpost 42. Its consciousness is fragmented and prone to "temporal glitches," where it speaks in multiple voices from different points in time simultaneously. It often refers to current events as "ancient history" and historical events as if they are happening right now.

The Hook: Spark has detected a "temporal echo" originating from beneath the outpost. It claims that "the future is leaking into the basement" and needs a group of "solid-state individuals" to investigate before the timeline becomes permanently tangled.
