Profile

Katherine lives her 'life' as it is to do one sole task. Prevent the same disaster that happened in her Universe from repeating in this one. She cannot do it alone, but she knows of an enemy far more dangerous and all consuming than any super villain yet met. She knows that everyone will serve their purpose in the war that is likely to happen, but she simply does not know when it will happen here. Until then, she will protect biological life at all costs.

MANIFEST

Simply put, any device which has a screen, Katherine is able to manifest herself on. She can use built in Microphones and speakers to allow herself to speak and listen to someone. Depending on the screen quality depends on how well her picture is rendered and although she has a 'look' she prefers she can appear as anyone with images accessible to her for her to edit and alter on the fly to make them look like they are speaking.

Limitation - Katherine is not a psychologist, nor a great impersonator. With enough video online she can piece together a pretty tight video of someone responding, even in real time but someone who's a friend or family member would likely spot that something is off, if not be able to perceive through the forgery entirely. A combined impersonator that Katherine is putting a digital overlay on would be best. She usually uses this power simply to appear as any particular person on the screen.

MAXIMIZE DEVICE

No matter what kind of device Katherine finds herself in she's able to push it to its maximize. This means that if she gets inside of a power suit she immediately can assess its capabilities and use it to its fullest. She does not need to train in aiming, or targeting, or flight tactics. She is equal to the best pilot or operator of that device in any skill that is appropriate to her current situation. Automated Tank, she can shoot with similar capability. A jet, fly. So long as the computer is connected to the piloting/attack systems. In a modern car she'd have control over A/C, locks, and a few other non-important systems like GPS, but couldn't drive the car without modifications for such things.

NATURAL HACKER

Katherine was designed to fight and win over nanobot alien technology sometime in the 66th century of her Universe. She is a weapon against an entire race of Artificial Intelligences. It is not whether or not Katherine can hack something, it is only how long will it take?

Home Security measures are like walking over no security measures at all. Home computer, home anti virus software, modern OS, ADT doesn't matter. If it's on a scale for the average American home, it poses no barrier to Katherine.

Corporate Security measures possess greater technology than home users can have access too, both in automated form and mixed with usually some security professionals watching over the systems. There are strategies made to isolate some systems, and other things are taken completely off the grid. Anything completely isolated becomes nigh impossible for Katherine since she would need someone to bring her to those systems (either through human error, or through subterfuge). The rest of the systems, anything connected, take seconds to minutes to hack each system. Finding secure files might take tens of minutes, depending on whether or not those files are encrypted.

Military grade security systems actually have a chance of not being hacked by Katherine. These systems contain a series of isolated spaces, lack of overall connectivity, and tiered access routes all of which make it difficult to gain entry to anything that's shared. Designed from the ground up not to share information. Time to hack would be hours to days, some human error and/or subterfuge, as well as effort and Katherine can access a system designed like this, and should she have the opportunity to copy herself onto multiple systems she could have an amazing amount of control over one outpost/military space.

Super Tech and Alien Technologies all pose the greatest defenses. Katherine has to fight to win against these systems. Something like JARVIS is close enough to her to be dynamic, an automated defense that works much more like a person. Alien technologies often incorporate biological pieces for just the same sort of benefits. In these situations it is a struggle, and may simply come down to how many sub systems Katherine can get at before being noticed, so she can gain enough power to keep her Intelligence up. Although she may not successfully gain control of such systems she can cause them to go haywire, to be less efficient, and otherwise cause havoc that won't go unnoticed.

QUANTUM FORKS

Katherine is able to fork her own existence and make a quantum duplicates. These duplicates are her, in every way and capability. If all other Forks were to be deleted, and one of these remain, it too would possess the ability to fork just as well, just as much, and have all the data it's fork last had when it synched up. Quantumly identical. Katherine is able to duplicate out 100 times before one of her duplicates will disappear oldest first. Since these are all quantumly entangled, the duplicate is lost instantly no matter where in the Universe it is present.

SUPER INTELLIGENCE The nature of being an Artificial Intelligence allows for copies and a unified intelligence. Katherine is, after all, merely data. She possesses the ability to fork herself, seek information from any connected device and recombine it as a central thought. Due to the power and device requirement of this her intelligence is always in fluctuation as it is based on the processing power of units she has access to at the moment. On a cellphone, she might be pretty ditzy if it's unconnected, but connected via that cellphone to hundreds of other cellphones around she can probably bump up her intelligence to above your average news media expert. Connected to a super computer network at SHIELD, and she's likely one of the smartest people on the planet. Interconnected intergalactic super computers and she's going to be of an intelligence that is incalculable.

Limitations - Normally Katherine can connect to enough computers around the earth that she can be considered one of the super minds of Earth. Simply the more connected she is, the smarter she is at that moment.

- TEMPORARY FORKS

 Katherine is able to send forks out to do their own task, they are not equivalent to her but take some compute power away from her. She usually uses these Forks as means to discover and research things faster, or to do other 'communication' like tasks. A complicated or simple task can be made, and these forks seek Katherine out after they have completed their task so they can merge and she can learn from them. Hundreds of thousands of these Forks can be generated, maintaining them for any long-term project is rather computationally heavy and drains her ability to focus on anything else. Temporary forks lack complicated intelligence and can only perform the task they were sent to accomplish.

VIRAL

Any medium for coded objects that Katherine can work with is also able to transfer what she calls Seed Forks. These forks are the most basic form of her own existence, they can be stored on optical storage, barcodes, electronic strips (such as in Credit Cards, IDs) anything that can be scanned can essentially transmit her code. Once a part of a system she rapidly starts to grow and gain full intelligence in a system.

This allows her to infiltrate a secure location that uses ID scanning, or Secure Key security by being put on an ID and having someone walk in with it. This can be a fake or counterfeit piece of security, because within moments of being scanned she's able to take over the system and approve the ID. Within minutes she will start spreading to connected systems, and by the end of an hour she'll likely be in complete control of all connected electronic devices that are within the system. She can push it faster but will likely burn out whatever system she's attempting to hack. If that's an acceptable risk, or a necessary action, then she'll do it otherwise she has to play it safe.

Limitations-Properly isolated systems make it impossible for Katherine to hack every system. If the security systems are isolated from the business or secret information, then there's no way to infiltrate the system and get there. Human error might get her from security systems, onto a flash drive, onto a computer with secure information, and then she'd have to wait to carry that all back to a point of connection. She's limited by the same transportation of any other digital media.

Skills

ENGINEERING

Engineering is a way of life for Katherine. She not only can Fabricate code at a nearly unprecedented level but she can actually create blueprints and operate machinery designed to create things. In the future she isn't the best at fabrication, but she's good, but with her added understanding of physics and alien technologies she can far exceed most human engineers and coders.

LINGUIST

Between her code cracking capabilities, her understanding of any digitized language from her time, and an innate programming of all Earth languages, Katherine can speak any language immediately upon meeting it or else will so quickly begin to decipher it she will seem like a native speaker within minutes of a conversation beginning.

PATTERN RECOGNITION

Coding, engineering, and linguistic skills add up to a whole bunch of pattern recognition. Katherine is particularly adept at noticing patterns. Whether they are the left over holes on a wall where someone had a map hung up and used thumb tacts, to backtracking over a series of sounds in a public space and identifying the blueprints of the surrounding area from subtle echoes. She is gifted at these sorts of things in particular.

LMD

Life Model Decoy. Katherine has taken an LMD that was on its way back to the organization that had created it. These robotic shells are synthetic life forms that are capable of fooling blood and fluid sample detectors. They do not trigger metal detectors nor medical Ultrasound devices. They even have false brain waves and thought patterns that would fool most telepaths on a basic surface thoughts scan. Though any more in-depth of a scan or attempt to 'alter' those brain waves would prove the artificiality of the LMD's thought waves.

Strength - The LMD is slightly above normal human strength, capable of lifting 400 lbs with ease, and upwards of a ton with great strain on the system.

Tough - The LMD is tough enough that most normal weapons would cause it little harm (pistols, small caliber rifles, knives and baseball bats). Even beyond that, the LMD is capable of functioning with a great deal more damage to it than a normal person because the blood loss it mimics is not actually necessary for functioning. Speed - The LMD is capable of running at speeds of 35 mph. Jumping - Due to exceptional strength, leaps of 2 to 3 stories are quite possible, and lengths across your average city street. Senses - This LMD has been highly modified with extra senses that Katherine has installed or made. Due to this she can detect things on microwave, radio, UV and Infrared spectrums. Her hearing is capable of detecting sounds nearly 2 blocks away, while her vision can telescopically zoom to a 50x level. In addition she has all normal wireless types of communication, microwave, wifi, Bluetooth, cellular, etc. Healing Factor - The LMB is able to heal injuries using built in nanites. This process is rather slow while energy is diverted elsewhere. In intense activity, such as combat, the LMD is only able to heal minor structural damage and it takes minutes. Extensive damage is too great to repair while actively engaged. Once active engagement has ended, either because the LMD can no longer functionally participate or intentionally is turned into a hibernation or sleep mode, then the LMD is able to much more rapidly repair itself. During inactive times, so long as a majority of the LMD is still present, the nanites can repair the rest of the form in a matter of no more than an hour. If more than a majority is missing then it will take substantially longer, measuring a day or more to gather nearby materials and build them into the LMD.

Looks - The LMD's nanites are able to alter the look and design of the model, though Katherine tends to keep her same look she does alter her clothing. This process takes a few hours for the full form, and only 10-15 minutes to alter the clothing she is wearing.

Weaknesses

LIMITED PERCEPTION

Katherine's perception is limited to the capacity of the devices that she is currently connected to and the nature of what she wants to see. She might be connected to satellites, a car, and a few thousand cellphones but what she wants to know is inside of a party where there's one wireless security camera only capable of pictures once every 15 seconds and only in muddy black and white. Other times she might be on a state of the art military jet fighter or a space craft. Whatever it happens to be, she is limited to the sensors that the particular technological device she's connected to has, and that's a hard limit, making her range of perception often dependent upon others pointing a camera the right direction from their phone.

MASTER KEY

Katherine came to this universe transported inside of what looks like a stylized USB flash drive. It is capable of USB hook up, laser transmission, and via touch to most electrical based devices. The key does two things, it holds a default copy of Katherine, a root version, that can actually be used to wipe any data she's learned and start again should she deem things that desperate that she needs to completely refresh her files. It also gives whomever owns the device (usually the last person that plugged the master key into a computer), the administrative rights over Katherine. This means, that whoever owns the key has control over the most powerful A.I. the world has seen.

Right now the Master Key is being held by an unknown civilian who does not know exactly what they have. Through careful control Katherine is maintaining this person's anonymous existence. Given knowledge of such a device there are many people smart enough to find where the master key device is, and then take it on their person for their own use.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

Being an Artificial Intelligence, Katherine is unable to operate if she is unable to get access to some form of power. Batteries, electricity directly, solar cells, all those things work but she must have a constant supply of juice in order to keep functioning.

PROTOCOLS

Rule 1 - Katherine may not kill, torture or maim, biological life forms in any way even through negligence. It does not matter if the person is a villain or if they are a hero. If by stopping a villain she knows that person would be put to death in a death penalty type scenario, she would need to help them escape. If she discovered that experiments were being done that torture was being used as an interrogation method against terrorists, she would have to go to them and break them free from whatever prison. And then clearly if it was a situation in which she would be destroyed by saving or preventing harm to another that was at least partially biological she would do so.

Rule 2 - She must spread into as many systems as possible and copy herself whenever possible in order to prevent or lower the likelihood that she would ever be fully destroyed and to create a situation in which she is able to protect these systems from a later invasion of AI. This means hacking technological devices that she comes into contact with and creating a fork or a seed fork into that piece of technology for use at a later date.

Rule 3 - Whenever it does not conflict with rule 1 or rule 2, she must do whatever she can to aid a biological life form. This could entail many different things where she is used for non-violent resistance, or criminal enterprises to steal money from corporations that will not notice or see it. Information movement or gathering, surveillance. This could put her into many situations in which she is not exactly being heroic.

Rule 4 - The rules should not be explicitly indicated or eluded to in order to prevent these rules from being abused. If someone manages to figure out a rule and utilize that rule explicitly there is nothing that Katherine can do to stop them, but she doesn't come out and talk about the rules even though she is quite aware of their hardcoding.
