I believe you meant tuning.
I am greatly enjoying the Story so far!
I believe you meant tuning.
Bio-trophies are the best trophies."Don't you mean 'Bio-trophies'" muttered Starfarer.
"Passengers", Peace firmly replied.
"What?", said Sophia in puzzlement.
"Oh, nothing" both Jovians replied in unison.

Get her a reflective yellow jacket, or they might not let her into some shops and restaurants.My emotional support human just shook her head and licked her ice cream.
If not for the fact that Jovians love their sensor senses and flying, being a bartended might be a good occupation for the main character.Jovians are that times a thousand. You might not strictly need other Jovians as much as humans need other humans, but you need people. Hundreds of people if possible. It's important for your mental health to have other beings to interact with and literally the more the better. And the more and better sensors you have to see the universe and more things to handle at once, the happier you will be."
In the first story in the series they did do some bartending in Ten Forward on the Enterprise, and seemed to like it well enough.If not for the fact that Jovians love their sensor senses and flying, being a bartended might be a good occupation for the main character.
I read that, and the Sector General series. Pretty good overall.I did wonder if Starfarer was planning something like that, I kept thinking of Ambulance Ship reading the earlier snippet.
And they have started to address the accidental conformity of being forks of a single starting person.
"I think they are needed," I said, "And I don't want anyone else to go through what I did. Or the people we took off that ship did. Anyone lost in space deserves to know that somebody is coming. No matter what, no matter what's in the way, no matter what has happened, somebody is coming to look for them."
Well, to paraphrase Aral Vorkosigan, you squish nicely!
Even assuming they see it as racist (I doubt it), they probably don't actually have any such training in the great majority of cases. Most of them are forks of the original Jovian AI, after all; they got their "interaction training" in the simulation.I wonder how much of Jovian interaction training is how to subtly remind them that they're being racist?

I suspect they'd actually have an easier time convincing the Feds to go along with genetic engineering than cybernetics at this point. The Eugenics Wars were a long time ago after all, but the Borg are an issue in the present.
And "a race of AIs want organics to be cybernetically upgraded" would be really easy for bio-Luddites and AI-phobes to spin in the direction of "they wanna Borgify us!"
