Mothership (AI)

From Command and Conquer Wiki

Scrin Motherships are equipped with an artificial intelligence that served as a command and control interface, but was far more sophisticated than an EVA. The Mothership was capable of performing a number of functions, including monitoring and analysis. It was even capable of questioning and even disobeying orders, similar to CABAL, since both were made out of advanced alien technology and had minds of their own. Unlike CABAL who cared about nothing but its own goals, the Mothership AI actually showed concern for its superior's (being Foreman 371) well being. Like other interfaces, the Mothership was able to communicate, speaking with the Scrin's equivalent of a female's voice.

During the Third Tiberium War, the Mothership awoke the Scrin mining fleet under Foreman 371. When it realized that the human population was still capable of resistance, the AI recommended to 371 to abandon the mission. However, the Supervisor ordered the operations to continue.

During the conflict, the Mothership continued to assist the Foreman, despite continued recommendation to cease operations. The AI regarded the Foreman's life as more important than the mission, and advised 371 to abandon it to save itself.
