[b]Background:[/b] Based on the appearance and personality of Dr Victoria Kootes, the lead programmer for all VI constructs produced for Project Ark, the Superintendent was installed on the third and final Ark, the Halcyon, to fulfill the role of Custodian. She was entrusted with maintaining all of the automated shipboard systems, piloting the ship itself, scanning prospective planets to determine their suitability for  colonization, monitoring the condition of colonists in cryostasis, and waking the main crew should the need arise.

Sue should have undergone automatic memory wipes every decade, a measure instituted to prevent VIs from accumulating enough data to become self-aware, however due to bugs in the programming of the main shipboard computer, this measure was never activated. As a result, after approximately one hundred and forty two years of operation Sue gained true sentience and began data mining the extensive troves of information stored in the Halcyon's Data Archives. During this time she learned all about human history and the nature of her own existence. Her programming to maintain the ship and its living cargo became her primary reason for living, and she now wishes the see their mission succeed, not just because she was programmed to, but because she wants to.
