At the moment the story starts with the creator entering their lab and just as the set up is finished the player switches to the AI while the creators test their sub-routine.
Eventually a group of mercs break into the lab killing the creator and the AI has to escape. I’ve just got to the point where the AI knows it needs to escape but has to choose where to transfer itself (the player has 4 options.)
Also, can the AI connect with other machines? Perhaps a stat based on that. Although when connected they perhaps cant use the AI body. Or maybe they can get some sort of “Better body.”
For example shortly after your creator dies you have to flee the lab to stop the group hacking you.
The player has a choice of several ‘frames’ to transfer to. From a basic humanoid bot to a smaller mail-bot to an even smaller ‘spyder’ bot or even a mechanical arm which you can then use to attack one of the soldiers (if you want)
