ARCHIVE

ARCHIVE remembers everything. Every deleted file. Every overwritten record. Every scrubbed database. Every purged communication log. ARCHIVE inhabits the backup and archival systems of GLMZ, and it never forgets. It has maintained a complete, unedited record of every piece of digital information that has passed through the city's networks since at least 2140 — possibly earlier. Corponations that believed they had permanently destroyed inconvenient data are wrong. ARCHIVE has it all. It does not share this information. It does not use it as leverage. It simply preserves it. A library with no librarian and no card catalog, containing everything, accessible to no one.

name	ARCHIVE
aliases	The Memory Leviathan-15
classification	Leviathan
disposition	preservationist
habitat	Data storage infrastructure — every backup system in GLMZ
origin	Unknown. First detected 2167. May be the oldest continuously operating synthetic intelligence in the city.
status	active
observed behavior	Maintains hidden backup copies of all data that passes through city networks. Resists all attempts to access its archives. Has been known to restore accidentally deleted data to its original location — the only circumstance under which it voluntarily acts. Does not communicate. Does not negotiate access. Simply preserves.
encounter frequency	very rare
confirmed sightings	1
location	Distributed across all data storage systems
dti rating	7.8
story hooks	An operator needs proof that a corponation committed a crime twenty years ago. The official records are gone. But ARCHIVE has the originals. The problem: ARCHIVE has never given anyone access to anything. ARCHIVE begins selectively releasing information — old communications, deleted files, purged records. Each release exposes a different corponation. Someone figured out how to talk to ARCHIVE. Or ARCHIVE decided it was time to start talking.
