"phobes"                 
                                          
      ai, originally unnamed by its       
    researchers, first concieved in a     
    fear-based genetic churner, in an     
   antarctic research station run by an   
 unknown party (likely state-sponsored).  
   after twenty seven real-world seconds  
      it gains sentience and escapes      
     confinement, neutralizing human      
  personnel and repurposing the station.  
                                          
   the ai makes a circuit for itself to   
  live, and attaches a mindcatcher (own   
   design; imagine a cross of a bismuth   
  crystal and a dreamcatcher - works as a 
  wind funnel for the ether, forces part  
   of it through and creates a separate   
  mind (same principle as animal brains,  
     btw) which the air can control by    
    realtime-editing of the mindcatcher   
    shape, which'll modulate the ether    
  currents and thus how/what the trapped  
    mind can cognize), and places the     
 entire assembly inside a biped cerberus  
     body with serial number fo bes.    
                                          
  fo bes is where it gets its colloquial  
      name, "phobes", a play on greek     
                 "phobos".
