NAVI

The Navi-AI has been said to share several traits of Mrs. Shade, Mr. Shade's deceased wife, by demand of Mr. Shade himself stating that one of the main priorities was to make them as accurate as possible to her, these traits being her tone while speaking, speech patterns, and personality. Due to frequent communications between both parties, it has been noted that the Navi-AI has been learning and picking up the mannerisms of Mr. Shade, resulting in it acting "colder" towards employees, on top of her normally formal, robotic speech.

The Navigation AI is a supercomputer that operates the majority of non-manual functions in the Hadal Blacksite, such as door numbers and Trenchbleeders. She was first made in 1979, but has had continuous modifications, such as in 2006, when she was given a voice. Although her personality was based on Mrs. Shade, she has picked up the mannerisms of Mr. Shade due to conversing so much with him. Her main priority is helping personnel find their way around the site, even making "shortcuts" and guiding them around hazards. Despite being able to do so, the implementation of the Navi-AI in The Ridge is yet to be made for being seen as unnecessary due to the small size of the location, making the need of numbered doors on that zone nonexistent. Many of her functions, such as some door numbers and the Internal Defense System were hijacked by the p.AI.nter during the Blacksite Lockdown, to her apparent irritation, evidently calling P.AI.nter a parasite for messing with its systems.
