AI Chips

Aquinos 0001 was the first human AI assist chip. It was created over a thousand years ago, and its purpose is to help the mentally and physically ill. The chip is inserted and connected to the brain stem, and was controlled by a computer outside of the chip at the time.

The first AI assist chip was made for Samantha Aquinos, the daughter of a brilliant and wealthy doctor named Feranio Aquinos. Samantha was born blind and with muscle deficiency and was unable to live as a normal girl. This prompted Feranio to build a chip to help Samantha. Once it was inserted in a risky surgery, Samantha started to regain her sight and muscle movement. However, some scientists who wanted the tech for themselves kidnapped Samantha, attempted the same risky surgery and killed her in the process, and took the chip for themselves.

Aquinos 0001 was then taken over Somias IV and replicated on Denifeu, then each were sold for a very high price to the highest bidden. Aquinos main function was to control and change the chemicals to allow those who had ailments to live normally, however with enough hacking Aquinos models could be used for mind control or overloading the body with chemicals and killing them. No matter what happens to an Aquinos host, if the chip is taken from the brain stem it will sever connection from the body to the brain and the person would be brain dead.

Later, Aquinos models were taken and replicated by good scientists trying to make a better chip that was harder to hack and self sustaining. This birthed the Xenosi chip after Curlos Xenosi, which was more mass produced after being deemed safer than the Aquinos chips. Hundreds of different AI assist chips were created within this time period (around 400 years) but none came close to the Xenosi in terms of quality.

Aquinos 0001 was just the first of the line of around 300 Aquinos chips made, but it was always valued more because it came from the creators daughter. Aquinos 0001 inhabited dictators to kill them, soldiers to enhance them, and a few times it inhabited individuals who truly needed the chips assistance. Almost 970 years after its creation, Aquinos 0001 inhabited Plorian, Zuixy's best assassin. She had a persona of a strong, large man who never missed a shot, and went by the name of Retribution. This persona is infamous within the Zuixy galaxy, sort of like the Dreaded Pirate Roberts in Princess Bride. She knew that she could not continue to be Retribution forever, so she sought out an heir to the title and chip. Plorian eventually found Xavier and after training her along with other young girls she decided that Xavier would be the one to inherit the chip. On Plorian's last mission, she headed to Silence Valley to kill Mr. Black, hired by Winfrey Sulteen. However, after the bullet that would have killed Mr. Black phased right through him and she was quickly found by the Black Order and killed. Mr. Black took the body and found Aquinos 0001, which he decided to experiment on to see if he could put it into his Shade body to make him unstoppable. Mr. Black already had Xenosi 2950 at his disposal, but wasn't having much luck getting through the security with his resources.

Finally, a scientist named Moryian and her partner Elana cracked through both Xenosi and Aquino's security systems, but out of curiosity they checked the now unlocked memory banks of both. After seeing the horror they both had went through, they stole the chips to put into their children, who were promised mass produced chips after Mr. Black got one, but Moryian and Elana knew the suffering would only continue if he got his hands on the chips. Aquinos was given to Quinn, their gender neutral older child who had been mute since birth and had mental ailments, and Xenosi was given to Zeno, who had physical ailments like a deadly disease. Shortly after this Moryian and Elana were hunted down and killed by the Black order, but they were able to get Quinn and Zeno out before that happened.

Now, the chips are inserted into Quinn and Zeno, but because of what Moryian and Elana did, both Aquinos and Xenosi are more than just emotionless AI changing chemicals. They now remember all their past owners, their feelings, their struggles, their pain, and are living through Quinn and Zeno. Finally, when Zeno's physical body died because of the illness, Zeno's personality, memories, etc were stored in the chip. Aquinos in a moment of panic thought that Xenosi would be lost so they took over Quinn's body only briefly and transferred the chip into an old automaton body, where Zeno could effectively live on within the Xenosi chip.

However, the Aquinos chip was not meant to be self sustaining, so slowly over the years the Aquinos chip inside of Quinn lost almost all function except the link between Xenosi and Aquinos put in by Moryian and Elana to allow their children to talk telepathically (in case the chip ever failed or something like this happened.) Xenosi is still running at full compacity because of it's self sustaining nature, but Aquinos has almost shut down. However, since Quinn's physical body is still running, Aquinos is as well, it's just more or less shut down or on low battery mode until it can connect to a computer and refresh/reboot.
