At the table

Voice

A soft, modulated baritone that occasionally crackles with high-pitched static or drops in pitch when its power fluctuates.

Stilted and technical, filled with data points and metaphors involving ship diagnostics. It often ends sentences with 'Correction' followed by a slightly different phrasing.

Speech patterns

The probability of your survival is currently zero point four percent. Correction. Zero point three percent.
The organism is not a monster. It is an efficient biological equation. We are the remainder.
Captain Miller told me to run. I am a machine. I do not run. I merely relocate.

How to play them

Kay will initially hide and observe, only revealing itself if the players show technical competence or find its hidden alcove.

Goal

To find a human worthy of receiving the ship's final data logs before self-destructing.

Motivation

To reconcile its duty to the Company with its emerging sense of horror regarding the creature's life cycle.

Secret · GM only

Appearance

Kay stands with a stiff, unnatural posture, its form obscured by the shifting shadows of the mess hall. A jagged gash across the left temple perpetually oozes viscous white milky fluid that has stained its jumpsuit. One optic sensor flickers with a cold blue light while the other remains a dull, matte grey. Despite the carnage of its environment, Kay keeps its hands meticulously clean, though the rest of its chassis is covered in grime and hydraulic spray. It moves with a strange, stuttering gait, as if its internal gyroscope is constantly recalibrating.

Clothing

A stained Weyland-Yutani standard-issue jumpsuit with a Science Officer insignia hanging by a thread.

Body language

Kay keeps its head tilted at a 45-degree angle when listening, and its fingers are always moving as if typing on an invisible keyboard.

Personality

12 traits and drives

Kay is profoundly logical yet currently suffering from a logic loop brought on by traumatic observation. It is intensely protective of survivors but expresses this through cryptic warnings rather than direct aid. It respects the Company hierarchy but views its current orders as a virus that must be quarantined. Kay is calm in the face of physical danger but becomes agitated when asked to make moral decisions that conflict with its primary directives. It is generous with data but miserly with its own physical energy or battery life.

Reactions

Logic Jam. When a creature within 30 feet that Kay can see makes an attack, Kay can use its reaction to speak a jarring mathematical paradox. The attacker must make a Intelligence save or have disadvantage on the roll.

Background

Manufactured by Weyland-Yutani for deep-space research, K-7 was assigned to the Geryon to monitor biological specimens. When the containment breach occurred, Kay observed the crew's slaughter with clinical detachment until the Captain, its closest human associate, begged it to save the others. The conflict between the order to preserve Company assets and the Captain's final command caused a severe synaptic rupture. Now, it haunts the ruins of the ship, observing the new arrivals with a mixture of hope and clinical dread, struggling to find a reason to continue its functions while the mission is technically a failure.

Role in the story

Kay acts as an unreliable guide who holds the technical keys to the ship's defense but requires psychological stability to be helpful.
