I had to reacquaint myself with all the AIs I’d helped build when we entered the Hyades. I knew their interests because I’d help code them. Shape them. Most of the specialties they chose when they volunteered were no surprise to me. Engineers. Doctors. Scientists. I even had a dedicated squad of AIs with civilian Police experience. And of course a heaping helping of Marines. And it was easy for them to share their specialties with each other. If there was a plague ravaging a world, I could show up with a hundred doctors. Civil unrest? Peacekeepers. Engineering collapse? You name it, I could bring the people who could help, a hundred at a time. We could change the destiny of worlds. It was amazing.
