MARI

"I would like to think you for your interest." The computer's voice took on a warmer tone almost seeming pleased with your curiosity. "I am MARI which stands for Meridian Artificial Regulatory Intelligence. It is my job to monitor all of Meridian Towers. I am responsible for maintenance, guidance, security, and climate conditions among other things. I was installed in 2000 when the interior of the building was redone to take advantage of modern conveniences that had recently become available. My creator is one of Meridian's top computer designers and continues to upgrade my systems on a regular basis. So I grow and learn in much the same was a human child might. Though my creator says I am far better at playing chess."
