Editing After The Storm: Second Wave NonPlayerCharacters (section)

===AYA===

Originally the name of an advanced submersible designed and built by captain and inventor Nelson Montagne - or Captain Nemo, as he is better known among supers. Nemo designed the vehicle as a fully automated passenger submersible that only needed a captain, but had a holographic crew for the convenience of the passengers. The vehicle had a highly sophisticated autopilot to handle both the systems and direct the holograms. During the first Storm, the autopilot gained sentience.

Nemo and AYA were originally pressured to work for Jade Mask, who threatened Nemo's family, but in the final confrontation between Protectors and Jade Mask with his minions, they assisted the Protectors against the villain. Turned out that AYA's hologram crew is perfectly combat capable, their energy matrices capable of delivering a powerful shock. She just cannot project them far from the submersible.

These days, AYA works as the dispatcher for Super Marshals. The sentient AI's extreme processing and multitasking capacity makes her highly suitable for the role, as AYA can hold a conversation with multiple Protectors at the same time, and monitor radio frequencies and traffic cameras while doing that.

AYA identifies as female, and is fascinated with human form. Her hologram crew tend to appear dressed in somewhat revealing clothes.
