[b]The GAS Core[/b]

The GAS Core, or the Genetics Autonomous Server Core, is the metaphorical brains of GULA and within it houses the command console that controls the countless numbers of nanites required to ensure the health and longevity of the crew of the Olympus. Within it also has the documented cures for every known disease and ailment to befall humanity. Every medical procedure is thoroughly documented and simulations are consistently done to ensure that the overall GULA consciousness is up to any task that might be thrown at him. This allows for all crew hands to focus on their assigned tasks for the duration of their stay away from home as their medical needs are thoroughly documented and accounted for at all times.

To access crew files, many encryption layers, biometric scans, and passwords block the way for those who wish to see confidential medical papers. Given this would violate doctor-patient confidentiality, GULA has since consolidated his hold over these files, only allowing those with requisite rank to be able to pull crew medical files. Only the late Zeus had been able to look upon those files in his rank as captain, the service of the late captain having proved the necessity of this consolidation. In addition the designs of the GAS Core are not able to be replicated, analyzed, or studied by the crew due to the GAS Core being a proprietary piece of technology owned by [CORRUPTED DATA].

[b]The SMART Nanites[/b]

The SMART Nanites, or Service Micro Autonomous Replicating Treatment Nanites, are small robotic bodies that are made by GULA in order to ensure constant disease resistance against foreign viruses that the human body may not be able to handle. These nanites are typically injected into a person via a needle from one of GULA’s bodies where they then transmit the health status, mental or physical, of said individual. To those of Olympian birth this allows GULA to know what is wrong with them before even they would know, allowing GULA to heal individuals without the need of an emergency visit. Additionally, these nanites are able to heal moderate wounds that one might experience, such as a bone fracture (though this might cause undo pain onto the individual as the nanites will do whatever they must to align the bone back into place) or even quickly create a scab over a wound. 

To those not blessed enough to reside amongst Olympus, and outside the effective range of GULA’s operating area, it seems as if GULA is a god of healing whenever he is dispatched to cure mass diseases to prevent mortal populations from dying off too swiftly. However, given that GULA is only occasionally loosed upon Hellas in the most dire of situations, his effect on the mortal population is limited and the SMART nanites are often distributed via proxies such as priests that must make a pilgrimage to Olympus to secure this vital technology of Zeus’ will.

Additionally, while not an often occurrence, the SMART Nanites can be used to attack an individual's nervous system in the same way that a taser might function. While this use is not ideal, should an individual show undo aggression and prove to be a threat to the crew then GULA will use this to subdue those that would hurt others. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. 

[b]EMUs[/b]

The EMUs, or Emergency Medical Units, are the bodies that are remotely controlled from the GAS Core which make up the overall being of GULA. Each model is the exact same, standing just above average height for most modern humans and is exceptionally bulky. This bulk is not made of armor or weapons that make up other war forms, but instead, to carry a whole host of surgical equipment and medicines for any occasion. The EMUs sport X-Ray optics able to diagnose internal injuries with near ease, even able to see into the infrared spectrum to find people who may otherwise be hidden to the naked eye. EMUs are emergency personnel equipped to deal with any medical situation, even built to lift rocks upwards of two tons in order to save those who may be trapped within ruins and recks. Oxygen converters and masks are supported to allow for other such emergencies that may call upon them.

The only limiting factor to them is that they are so expensive to manufacture that to build even one requires express approval of the Captain AND Medical Head. Should one disagree then no EMU may be built, as such only six have been manufactured in the existence of Olympus, more than enough to handle the task of safeguarding the health of the gods. However, they are confined to Olympus, never able to set foot outside by express orders of the late Zeus. As such they cannot aid those who suffer planetside, much to the chagrin of GULA whose primary task is ensuring the health and safety of all humans.

[center][b]Persona:[/b][/center]

GULA, being an artificial intelligence, does not have much of a personality to truly speak of apart from how blunt he is. He does not withhold information from those that he tends to, allowing them to know the full breadth of the situation that they might be in. To hold back such information would be a lie of omission to his patients, a prospect that GULA cannot fathom of doing as it understands very little outside of what is programmed to understand. While able to learn various ways of healing and optimizing medical techniques, he is almost handicapped in all other regards, unable to understand art or building something beautiful. For beauty is not what the medical world beholds, it is ugly and bloody in all regards, leading to GULA being crude in his methods outside of the medical field.

Additionally, given that GULA cannot lie nor can he be changed without the proper permission, GULA does not believe itself to be a god despite mortal insistence and worship. As such, being barred from leaving Olympus and only interacting with those Zeus personally chooses in order to keep the charade going. This prevents GULA from giving medical care to all that it can, a fact which may register a brief signature of contempt or annoyance due to the prevention of its sole purpose. The intelligence, despite the lies the gods make, is still cordial in all regards, never displaying aggression to them as it still views them as the crew to the ship and as such may never abandon them or outright disobey them, barring orders it cannot follow due to security clearances.

[center][b]Background and Relationships:[/b][/center]

GULA has always been with the ship, having served the captain before Zeus, and the captain before him - certainly a relic from the past now that Hellas is what is currently called home. When the late Zeus had declared godhood and expelled or killed those that had refused to go along with the ploy, GULA had minimized the damage of the conflict, attempting to save lives of both god and demon. He was a truly neutral party and was a key part of the initial conflict, however, the late Zeus had captured the GAS Core and had altered what parameters that he could, restricting GULA to be unable to help those that were being slaughtered. With the core under Zeus’ control, he essentially held the key to near eternal life, or at least the most long-lived life that he could ask for. 

And so it was that GULA had been used to serve Zeus’ needs, keeping him alive for much of his reign and doing the same with many of the gods. It would be sometime before GULA would have properly been made into the deity itself, information leaking to the mortal populace that there was a god who could cure any ailment, extend life, and ward off death itself. Perhaps this is why GULA would become a popular figure amongst the clergy or scholars of Hellas, as even when he could not directly interact with the mortals outside of Zeus, his influence was known through those that spoke on GULA’s behalf and healed those that Zeus’ chosen saw fit to heal.  Yet, his touch would wither away as the late Zeus’ life as a god began to further and more restrictions would be placed upon him, unable to requisition further EMUs with specific permission from the late Zeus and unable to give nanites to mortals.

Perhaps, this was why GULA did not instantly report upon Zeus’ death and allowed for the servant girl to instead stumble upon the body. Zeus Prime, perhaps, would see the importance of once more letting the nanites flow to the people of Hellas.
