Given the interests of the SG in keeping the AI functional and efficient, I somehow suspect there are anti-Jackie safeguards in place. Somehow.
Of course, there aren't any effective anti-Superball safeguards, since Terrence loaned out his password to him.

so, The AI got lose to... escape Superball? or maybe she wanted to see the world outside the base?

Y'know..Terrence would be a lil better than to let Superball have his password >.> or least change it after the first incident *mock glares at
Acyl's superball story in responce to Sweno's story of Smoulderin Decay lookin for love  ..or at least a good shag. And of course Terrence would
escape the base...eventualy even if he has to use his ouroboro's portal lol.

And I suppose the AI is going to end up with huge tracts of RAM..... And Terr, there's a typo in the Instructions. It should say "Please type in the last 5 digits of Pi."
This will be quite a character if it ever gets out of the Base. Would the AI have GPP? (Did we get it from the Serious Cybernetics Corporation?)

... okay, I could go on all day with the bad, geeky sexual innuendo, but I won't.
No, I will refrain from commenting on her high-speed interface ports (whoa!), her multitasking capability (the naughty wench), her virus scanners (for your
protection!), her attractive visual interface (now THAT's ergonomic!), her ... oh, crap.
Well, okay, I'm going to stop here, at least, even if I couldn't help but comment a little...

Well, bear in mind that any base AI would undoubtedly be the creation of the Base Architect and She Who Controls The Legendary Computer.
ie. Lora'Lai.
So our hypothetical base AI would, no doubt, call Lora... 'Mom'.
It's anyone's guess as to whether she calls Superball or Jackie 'Dad'.
I suspect she's more likely to call Evangelia and Shizuru 'Dad', all things considered. Figure the logistics of that one out for yourself.
(oh, if it makes a difference, I'm vaguely considering renaming my Peacebringer instead of rolling an FF defender. I mean, y'know, it'd achieve more or less the same visual effect. Floating glowing translucent energy girl inside a big energy sphere, with energy powers. 'cides, y'know, if her 'mom's' a Kheldian, it makes sense she'd look like...)
Anyway, collected name suggestions -
Open:
SHAVI (suggested name the last time we had a discussion about a base AI)
Troni (Starranger)
Rei Toei (Sofaspud)
Taken: (but alternate or 'number suffix' forms would obviously be possible)
H.A.N.N.A. - Heuristic Artificial Neural Networking Analog. (Logan)
S.H.I.V.A. - Solid Holograph Interface and Virtual Avatar? (Valles)
L.A.N.I. - Legendary Autonomous Network Inhabitant (Sofaspud)
Ge.N.i.E. - General Non-linear Extrapolator (Sofaspud)
L.U.C.I. - Local User-friendly Cybernetic Interface (Sofaspud)
V.I.K.I. - Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence (Sofaspud)
Mneme (Sofaspud)
...I have not included the CHRIST, GOD, and CORTANA suggestions, because I'd be generic'd so fast they'd feel the GM-hammer all the way over on the Champions servers.
Note that you CANNOT do A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. names with multiple periods in City of Heroes; you cannot use that many periods in a name. You can only use a single period, hyphen, apostrophe, etc. We shall all observe a moment of silence for poor -=xXm3g4_n00bXx=- who cannot, clearly, make the superhero he has always dreamed of. But yeah, the names I was checking on the 'taken' list were therefore the straight up versions. As opposed to alternative sexuality ones.
Currently, my favourites on that list are SHAVI (heck, we did agree on it?) and 'Troni' (pretty amusing for the visual gag).
'LANI-2', 'VIKI-3', and so on would all be, y'know, possible as well though. Thoughts?
Anyway. Look at me still talking when there's science to do... o/`

SHODAN is one of my all time favorite insane AI's, with GlaDOS a close second. But neither of those would survive.
The possible open ones are viable, they just don't have any humor triggers for me. Maybe it's because I don't know what SHAVI means.
There are experiments to run,
There is research to be done,
On the people who are... still alive. o/'
Still can't come up with other suggestions. Must be school that's leeching the
creativity out of me.
Edit: Took one look at the mousepad, and had an image of one's GF, wife, etc of choice walking in and seeing that beside your computer. She just
looks at you, and that's when you know you've just lost about fifty points.

So far - based on what's available, I'm leaning toward SHAVI being my favorite contender. I'm trying to figure out what SHAVI means/meant. I KNOW
it meant SOMETHING in an acronym sense. But damned if I can remember precisely what it was.
So - by process of guess and logic and elimination, I've come up with the following -
S (Solid?)
Heuristic (Holographic?)
Analog (Avatar?)
Virtual
Intelligence (Interface?)
I can see it several different ways, based on the above.

the easiest explanation is that she comes up with a different explanation every time someone asks what the acronym means..
