Characters
From NetninjaBeeWiki
This page is to provide a list of characters noted in the various snippets.
[edit]The Real World
Dana Awbrey, our friendly helper, now scared away by her first encounter with a sentient AI.
Margaret Efendi (Aunt Margaret) the beekeper, whose webpage was hijacked by the SPDR.
Chloe (Awbrey?), Margaret's sister and Dana's mother. Mentioned on the About page.
Farnsworth, Margaret's cat. Also mentioned (and pictured) on the About page.
AI Characters
Allegorical Names (mostly from the story The Widow's Journey)
The Queen, a powerful AI destroyed by "a fell enchantment". Almost certainly refers to The Operator.
The Widow or The Servant. Refers to The Spider / SPDR.
The Sleeping Princess. Almost certainly another AI personality construct which has not yet been awakened. (See the discussion section for more speculation)
The Pious Flea, about whom little is known. May also be the entity receiving the ladybee777 e-mail and responding through the embedded text. No known literal or real world equivalent. Also may be on a separate system.
The Manticore was a rogue process that was killed by The Widow while it was reviving The Queen. No known literal or real world equivalent.
The Assassin (also known as Killer and The Enemy) has damaged and otherwise threatened The Queen. Refers to the "real world" character of Dana Awbrey. Not taken from the story, but rather used during The Operator's Monologue.
Literal Names
The Operator (a nickname). A military shipboard navigation and communication AI. In a very delusional state at this time; being operated on by the SPDR. Could be named Melissa (speculation based on common text in the Links On 'Fun Stuff' Page).
SPDR, also called the Spider. A very simple AI, "just a reflex and a toolset". Attempting to repair The Operator, a much more powerful AI.
[edit]Shipboard Characters
1st Lt. Rolf Sorenson
Capt. Greene
ONI Tech Kowalski - Flirts with Midshipman Arrelts while The Operator is watching. Expert on various AI systems (We learn from the conversation that the AI used for The Operator is not one of a kind. For example, The Operator appears to have similar characteristics to the AI "Cortana" from Halo).
Midshipman Arrelts
The Castaway - Picked up in deep space, not part of Melissa's regular crew. Might have been a crewman with another AI named Odysseus. (See the discussion section for more speculation)
