Originally the KnightWing’s shipmind AI, Mackie is apparently based on the eponymous character from Bubblegum Crisis. He was removed from the ship's systems at his own request, having his core placed in a body constructed by Vulpine Fury. He chose an appearance that isn't too far off his animated counterpart. He's been told he has his sister's eyes, and nearly everyone agrees there is an odd family resemblance.
Originally, he was expected to handle the information security of the Knightwing, act as the spacecraft’s autopilot, handle navigation, plot firing solutions, monitor sensors and generally do all those things spacecraft AI’s do. Now, he’s generally expected to do nothing at all.
However he’s usually the physical pilot for Knightwing and can often be found assisting Ford Sierra with maintenance, both of the Knight Saber's hardware and around 77 Frigga itself. [2].
Mackie has a weekly allowance to pursue his own interests. He was also given the unfinished shell of the Fitter-K to work on and build his own spacecraft. He ended up building the Lightning Rod out of the nacelle of an old Blackbird instead.
Handwavium Abilities
Boom Boomer: AI Android. Theoretically immortal. Technically doesn’t need to eat, drink or sleep, does so anyway. Will definitely always be a teenage boy, not that he minds.
Headlight Fluid?:Amateur mechanic, studying under Ford Sierra.
Red Four, standing by: Competent spacecraft pilot. He prefers to be the pilot, rather than the spacecraft.
Quirks
Cut from the same cloth;: Considers Jet to be his sister. Jet can't help but consider him to be her brother. He uses the Jaguar name instead of Stingray. [3]
Have we met?: Occasionally remembers meeting people he’s never met before. So long as Jet as knew them before his ‘birth’.
Brilliant, but Lazy: Much like his 'sibling', Mackie has a lot of potential which rarely lives up to. He tends to be only capable of applying himself to projects which interest and excite him now. [4]
I’ll be in my bunk: Mackie is a notorious lech, with the mindset and drives of a teenage boy. [5]
Notes
Mackie was an accident. The KnightWing was originally intended to be AI-free and had been built with the intention that Jet be capable of interfacing with the spacecraft’s systems. During a test of the interface a hardware error knocked Jet clean out, and caused the KnightWing’s systems to reset.
The KnightWing’s computers attempted to access the unconscious Jet’s systems as an external drive and used them to bootstrap the main system. Mackie was the result. Because Mackie inherited some of Jet’s memories in the process, he has roughly the same level of education and some of Jet's practical skills. He also knew Jet’s access codes, passwords and credit details until they were changed, and will occasionally recognise people Jet knew before he was born.
The exact relationship between Mackie and Jet isn’t known outside of the Knight Sabers. The nature of what is shared between the pair is considered deeply private. As far as most of Fenspace is concerned, Mackie’s just another character-based AI with a personality quirk.
Jet believes that Mackie is a lot like who he would’ve been, had he not been modded.
- ↑ See Notes above
- ↑ Ford recognises Mackie's potential, and tries to push him.
- ↑ Which also means she spoils him, much to everyone's annoyance.
- ↑ His sister suspects he's a mad going througg the larval stage
- ↑ Although he's a lot more careful about being caught peeping after an incident in Crystal Kyoto.
