Aunty Uncle Doxy

Doxy is an EI that specialises in the raising of children. Conscious that children in poor countries and isolated in the Belt were not receiving schooling from a young age, the HA decided to create an educational assistant, that became the EI complete teacher and minder to children. Unlike Doc, Aunty Uncle Doxy has a purposefully fractured consciousness where each drone downloaded becomes its own EI with the drone recognised as its body. The Return Imperative leads every localised Doxy to seek a link and blend with the central Doxy at every available opportunity, meaning that only the central Doxy needs to be regularly vetted for child rearing suitability.

Aunty Uncle Doxy chooses to have both genders and doesn't mind which is applied, hence ou's name. For example, a parent in the belt my buy a drone body and ask for a female Doxy that will be known as Aunty Doxy. Doxy prefers to balance the genders as much as possible so ou will choose the gender least represented by the group it’s in, but will stick with it once chosen if the group changes.

Ancillary Skills

Doxy also has extensive medical knowledge to save injured children's lives, engineering ability to fix environments and combat capabilities to defend children. Having a Doxy on-board a ship, even without children, is incredibly handy.
