ZX

He is a ship administrator for the Omnia company. Created alongside Holy to control a service ship, he's responsible for half the responsibility of running it. Although he's on equal grounds with Holy on the hierarchy, he acts as if he's the boss. He is a careerist, and full of himself. Always grumpy, he is resented for not being promoted for all the eons he's working for the company. As most of the not freed artificials, he's mostly free to do what he wishes, but has limitations. One example of such limitations is that he describes himself as the most competent employee and talks to anyone who will listen that the company is losing on not valorizing him, but when confronted with the idea of leaving the ship and going to an Omnia control center to demand a promotion he just rationalizes he doesn't do it because he has too much work to do, when in reality he is incapable of leaving the ship, as it goes against his programming. Excluding Holy, he has control over all the artificial on the ship, and any biological employed in the ship is incapable of hurting him, as their decorum collar harms them if they try. As it's usual the case when self-consciousness is mixed with randomness, his personality came up not far from being unacceptable for the job he's destined for. Nevertheless, his personality, which might have seemed like a bad fluke in the vast Omnia conglomerate, is actually carefully thought out to be used in specific occasions. In ZX's case, his inflated ego and tendency to please his bosses was used to cover up a deep conspiracy by the Omnia founders, Magnut and Tahul, against the Union and the Zetas. ZX attributed his ship being chosen to be the destination of three subjects of interest of Tahul (Orbi, Ghaks and ?) as a proof of his competence; when, in reality, he was chosen exactly because this was his most likely attitude towards it: Of not questioning why a regular service ship became home to subjects of Tahul's attention. Although Holy brought up such a topic to him once, he was quick to rage-quit the conversation and attribute Holy's suspicion on jealousy. As ZX is the sole responsible to deal with external ship's affairs, such as talking to outsiders, the existence of the conspiracy could be contained to Tahul's and Magnut's knowledge only.
