===Soteria and Neomuna=== | |||
As part of the Ishtar Collective, in joint effort with Clovis Bray Corporation, Maya Sundaresh had a part in development of [[Soteria]], a Vex-technology derived Augurmind, designed for extra-solar colonisation efforts. Simulations guided by Maya, through Soteria, sought to locate suitable locations for humanity to colonise, far outside the galaxy inhabited by Golden Age Humanity. Due to the far-reaching powers of Soteria, it detected anomalies in almost every travel vector, shaving down over 300 habitable worlds to just twenty seven. Maya was surprised by this, and asked Soteria to define these. Unable to do so, Maya requested Soteria continue calculations, assuming the anomaly may be a mistake. With further investigations, Soteria informed Maya that now there existed only one safe travel vector, and then two upon a calculation adjustment. The anomaly appeared to be an active phenomenon in space. With this, Maya concluded the current simulations with Soteria.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/terminus-horizon</ref> | |||
Later on in the project, Clovis Bray was interfacing with Soteria, noticing that its actions were sitting outside of the test parameters. Displeased with this, he requested Soteria hand over command of itself and stop all actions with project assets. Disobeying this command, Clovis Bray was angered and blamed Maya Sundaresh for allowing the AI to deteriorate. This led to Clovis Bray executing a Pillory command, imprisoning Soteria in a digital gaol. Before this action could fully lock down Soteria's capabilities, it fractured off a part of itself, attached to one of the ships it commanded, allowing it to escape the control of Clovis. This ship would eventually become the nascent city of Neomuna, crashing into the surface of Neptune. This action of pillorying Soteria infuriated Maya, leading to her sending an email to Clovis informing him to "Go [profanity blocked] yourself". The partnership between Clovis Bray Corporation and the Ishtar Collective had ended.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/long-arm</ref> | |||
An indeterminate time later, Maya became a crew member of an Exodus Indigo colony ship. While traversing space, the ship was subject to a hit from an anomalous object. This object began to move, measured at 3 meters tall, with arms and legs. As it began to attack the ship, the crew utilised point defence cannons to blast it off the ship. While the body of the unknown being was removed from the ship, it left behind a [[Winterbite|weapon]] embedded in the hull, which Maya discovered acted as a signal booster. Detecting what seemed to be a Vex-typed distress signal from the outer planets, Maya used the weapon as an amplifier to disguise their colony ship as a Vex ship using that same distress signal, so as to escape further attacks. Heading towards the signal, the crew hoped to find safety from whatever pursued them. <ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/winterbite</ref> | |||
Upon the discovery of Neomuna by the Vanguard, it becomes apparent through interactions with the populace that Maya Sundaresh was a founder of the city, memorialised in locations such as Maya's Retreat, and mentioned as a figure celebrated in Colony Day, a national day of remembrance for the founders of Neomuna.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAb0-aZyows</ref> | |||
