ADA

ADA (Autonomous Digital Astrogator) is an advanced AI who controls the navigation and communications systems aboard the Unreliable. She is able to adapt and learn from the ship's operators to better anticipate their needs. As ADA was programmed to recognize only Alex Hawthorne as the legal owner of the Unreliable, the Stranger has no choice but to allow her to identify them as "Captain Alex Hawthorne" in order to circumvent the restriction.
