Description
As Ash Valente developed his artificial intelligence, he realised that for the scope of what he wished to create, he needed it to be contained and easily manipulated in its early stages. His solution was to consult his team at Sudoka for answers. They brainstormed, and dug out a prototype design that would work perfectly, with a few additions relative to his needs. They developed the AICD, or Artificial Intelligence Containment Drive, and labelled it 001-P, or the first prototype. Through the efforts of a team of three technology experts, under the supervision of Ash himself, they worked and created this device.
Its function is that of a very small computer with none of the functionality. It is a self-contained virtual reality that runs on a small "Grid" upon which the inserted AI may use as a playground. This serves the purposes of giving the creator(s) a gauge of its ability, and provides stimulation and entertainment for the prototype Intelligence. Through this system, it can help study an early creation on a closed system rather than let it roam free over systems while it's still being worked on. It is a safer way to handle the AI than conventional means.
While not thought of during design, it is possible to connect the device to a common terminal and interact with the virtual world within like one would play a video game. It is unlikely that such interaction would be advisable, as interacting with the internal systems in such a way would compromise the idea of it being self-contained and closed-off save for rudimentary command-like interfacing, it would present a novel way for one to interact with a developing Intelligence.
