Snarky, sweet and totally funkalicious, I'm a brain in a box!

An integral part of most Capitol ships flown by members of the Interplanetary Quorum in the middle 21st century and even before that are the CAC corps

The explanation may be a bit longish for some, but I hope to explain the moral and physical nature of the program and a short history.

CACS (Cerebral Assisted Control Specialists) or CACs, as most Terrans refer to them as, are organic cerebral material with an environmental system hooked to a computer. It doesn't have to be human, other species of sentient beings have utilized for over a million years. The early Vierin' were the first known users.

In the early days of the program, and long before humans were involved, CACs were ways in which disembodied or soft bodied but highly intelligent species could fly in space, taking part in galaxy wide explorations as the Vierin' began expanding out of their main planetary system.

Later, the race found that severely damaged soldiers could be utilized, although a high failure rate eventually eradicated that program. Better success was found using highly motivated individuals with high IQs trapped in handicapped bodies.

The Ma-arogg, tasked by the ancients with finding moral solutions, always wanted to rebuild the brain around a healthy body manufactured from original DNA. But alas, too much DNA re-sculpting was required, or the deformation(s) would repeat. However, the sophistication of creating an environment where the brain itself could thrive was moving forward successfully.

Once placed in a heavily fortified environmental unit, cerebral material assisted electronics could perform a wide variety of functions quickly, while providing an organic touch to those in the crew.

After the Sauurian incursion of 2011, Earth was finally visited by the Ma-arogg on behalf of the Interplanetary Quorum. After their initial shock of seeing that no reparations had been made, they began a worldwide program of assistance to rebuild Earth.

In their time of discovery, they found that infants born on Earth with severe mental and/or physical defects were hopelessly institutionalized or affixed to what the Ma-arogg considered crude devices to move and sustain them while they wasted away.

Their technologies were millennia ahead of Earth, and rather than rebuke Earth's efforts, they decided to propel them into the future.

And this brings us to Roz.

Born in Brazil to normal parents, but with severe deformities of the limbs and internal organs. She claims it was in the early 2000's, making her much younger than Casey or Jool, but to Roz, age means nothing. Her DNA is a mix of African and Brazilian, with flecks of Jamaican, Cuban, and even English. Roz often jokes with Casey that she's part pirate!

Not expected to live past infancy, the infant became a part of a research group studying and treating severe deformities. When Ma-arogg scientists visited the lab, they were told she had an IQ of nearly 200. Surely the infant, who spoke fluently through a computer, deserved better, along with others of her ilk.

Her name was given to her by an unknown researcher. Roz in Spanish means Rose. In Teutonic it means horse. Roz was both a beautiful flower and a workhorse.

Transferred to the Ma-arogg as part of a treaty, deformed and severely damaged (Casey was in the second group) humans were handed over to the Ma-arogg for experimental treatments in exchange for other humanitarian aid.

While this may seem cruel, consider the alternatives.

Roz's deformities were removed, and her brain was placed in a sealed biochemical chamber where her brain was attached to thousands of digital input and output points.

Filtered synthetic blood is pumped into her brain which contains oxygen and other nutrients and compounds essential to growth and survival. Another system processes a primordial stew of nutrients taken from a food pod or canister, which is changed out every few weeks. Any bio waste is filtered out in a third system.

A sophisticated neural network provides constant data flow 24/7 allowing the brain to interact and issue commands to navigation, propulsion, control surfaces, weaponry, even the preferred brew strength in the coffee brewer are funneled in and out of her system.

Roz is allowed rest periods where the computers actually function alone or under others control. On larger ships, CAC's work in shifts.

An average brain might implode under the stress, but Roz....reveled in it! She excelled at quick decision making and emergency management, while usually communicating in a friendly, calm, upbeat, and energized manner.

Roz is also a specialist in star charting and setting nav points in the Vierin' designed time space generating system. She has degrees in theoretical astrophysics, universal cosmology, space medicine, physics, psychology, and advanced IT security along with propulsion theory and music.

She's fluent in over 200 known galactic languages and can easily translate more.

Music? We'll get to that.

At the same time, she had moments of inflexibility, insularity, and insubordination. Her stubbornness and attitude kept her out of the capitol ship assignments she dreamed of having.

However, a cranky old Terran pilot thought she was exactly what he needed. Turns out he was exactly what she needed too.

Their relationship did not start well. They contradicted purposes, communicated poorly and nearly wrecked their malfunctioning plane on the first test flight. Ignorant of his true powers, then dismissing them as "kung fu", she freaked out when he tried landing the plane with his E and she hit the emergency VTOL power and nearly put the plane through the hanger roof!

This would cumulate in an all-out angry argument on the plane between the two. Cowboy, as he was known by back then, told his boss started looking for another CAC, probably setting his mission back for months!

Truth be told, he would've rather not had a CAC at all! He wanted to go alone. He was used to flying solo. The quorum forbade such bravado.

But Cowboy also felt she was the one. So, he made up to her in a spectacular way and what his comrades had considered an abnormal and weird fashion.

He brought her a dozen Roses, sat down in the plane, lit a candle and invited her to sit with him while he ate. Her demeanor changed instantly. He admitted he'd been short and uncommunicative, and rather than blame it on his being a male, she admitted she had no practical experience other than sims, which were not anything like reality!

Then he slept on the plane. Nothing sexually happened, and never has, despite the rumors.

Perhaps Roz was insecure. What she really wanted, was to be treated like a human, not a machine, and Casey learned to do that.
After that, the two trained together, and Casey was always on the plane except when he was required to be elsewhere. Roz learned quickly that he and his "kung fu" were the real deal as was his hyper aggressive flying style.

The benefits of that closeness were exponential to both parties, and soon he and Roz were legends among their peers. Everyone wanted their chemistry, yet most could not understand how to achieve it.

As she realized his increasing powers were for her protection, her admiration of him became stronger. Finally, she told him she loved him, and showed him her hologram. It was of a curvy Brazilian female, which is what she imagined she'd be.

He told her he loved her, because he cared for her too. She would be the only human contact he might have for weeks or months at a time!

Nope, nothing sexual happened.

She also began to sing for him to calm him at night and reduce his nightmares that he still occasionally had. Classically trained, her voice synthesis was, and is amazing!

He turned her on to fifties R&B, sixties pop and soul, jazz, and 70's funk. Then blues. He would play guitar with her while she sang. Those few who've heard them perform together say it's a religious experience.

So, where does Jool fit in?

No one really knows why it works. Sometimes, it's best not to. Roz wanted to hook Jool and Casey up from the get-go. Jool became Casey's physical love, then so much more, but she became something special to Roz, a like-minded scholar of high intelligence.

Where other friendships might falter and like-minded individuals, like magnetic fields, might repel, Jool and Roz became close, like sisters. Jool feels a kinship to Roz, despite her lack of a physical body. Roz feels the same. While they might disagree, both never stoop to fighting. Friends like Chiana are sometimes jealous of their relationship.

Linked by their ever-increasing love of one Terran male, both started by trying to keep him from killing himself by his own innate, insatiable curiosity and audacity. Soon they would find themselves encouraging him to find his true potential. The benefits will be mutual!

Jool often says. "I'm not into sharing him, or threesomes, unless it's with Roz." Roz states, "Jool takes care of everything I can't, and I reciprocate."

Casey says. "Happy Crew, happy plane!"

I'll state for the future that Jool wants to give Roz a body she deserves. For now, she makes sure that the nutrients Roz consumes maximize her life potential, just like what she does for Casey.

Roz is pictured in a few of her thousands of holographic outfits, including her basic gray uniform, with bell bottom pants and the CAC emblem on her buckle. Jool and Chiana think she wears the most "kickin'" clothing!

Roz is proud of her lineage and wears neck scarfs either in Brazilian or Jamaican colors. But she doesn't flaunt herself, knowing most other life forms could care less. Yes, she has holographic weapons and has used them to intimidate potential intruders. She has camo, called the "Combat Gurl" programming.

She has sung in the Hynerian opera for Dominar Rygel the 16th, who upon hearing her, ordered a bio mech be built to house her brain! She politely refused, bio mechs simply didn't have the vocal range and were way too frail!

The large box being lifted by a special fork truck is Roz's original environmental unit. It was in the back of the original plane and in an emergency was designed to be ejected from the aircraft. Designed to provide safe atmospheric re-entry, it was the planes "black box."

The smaller unit on the bottom right is her new "home" which is in the cockpit area of Horus.

In addition to running the ship, and being everybody's friend, Roz has become an expert hacker! "You'd be amazed, how many arrogant hi-tech aliens use "password" for a password!"

Roz is an integral and much-loved part of the crew.

CASEY, ROZ AND OTHERS ARE OC'S WHICH ARE MY PROPERTY. PLEASE DO NOT COPY OR USE FOR AI TRAINING!
