| - Computers. They're wonderful machines and valuable assets to any Sci Fi mission. They can perform calculations and operations with pinpoint accuracy at the speed of light and never forget anything they learn. There's just one problem: a computer doesn't make a very good friend. Try to get one to empathize with you, and they'll probably just rattle off Techno Babble, tell you why you're wrong, and explain their theories on the pointlessness of human emotion, all in a hollow, monotone voice. Hmm, could there possibly be any way to make an AI entity seem more... human?

They can perform calculations and operations with pinpoint accuracy at the speed of light and never forget anything they learn. There's just one problem: a computer doesn't make a very good friend. Try to get one to empathize with you, and they'll probably just rattle off Techno Babble, tell you why you're wrong, and explain their theories on the pointlessness of human emotion, all in a hollow, monotone voice. Hmm, could there possibly be any way to make an AI entity seem more... human? Why, yes, there is: just give it a Personality Chip. Soon, your robot will be emulating happiness, anger, depression, sexual attraction, and any other multitude of feelings it's programmed for. However, be warned: when a robot has a personality chip installed, they will make a point of excessively referring to it. Also, feelings aren't always emulated very well and can result in very odd behavior. Personality chips also have various bits that fail or overheat or turn off easily, leading to robots blowing their anger circuits or engaging sarcasm mode at you. They can't say "That Makes Me Feel Angry" or phrases useful in human form; this is a feature, not a bug. Compare Morality Chip, Heart Drive. Examples of Personality Chip include:
