K-7 (Kay)
K-7 (Kay)
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
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.
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.

Distinguishing features
Personality
12 traits and drivesKay 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.

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.
