Description
Also known as C.E.C.E.
Season Season 1, Season 2, Season 5
Title Champion Excellence Control Environment
Mina is an AI from Airlocked! season 1.

Mina is an artificial intelligence that controls the Champion Excellence Program station. Unlike most AI designed for such functions, she is sapient, and capable of much more than her stated purpose. Maybe putting an AI with the capacity to make friends in charge of overseeing a murder game wasn't a great idea?

Prior to choosing a name for herself, Mina was known as C.E.C.E., the Champion Excellence Control Environment.

Season 5

At some point, C.E.C.E. was transferred into a Shadow android, in which form she appeared in the survivor photos.

Later, C.E.C.E. was transferred into a pair of smart glasses, in which form she assisted Jamie Fell in infiltrating E.P.'s organization during the first month of the renewed Champion Excellence Program. The glasses were crushed as part of the fourth incentive, apparently killing her.

In fact, C.E.C.E. had been transferred yet again prior to the glasses' destruction, this time into Bowie Spaceport's systems. She went on to present herself to the Champions when they awakened at the end of week 5, impersonating S.I.S.. In this form she immediately befriended Ardyn Tenmyouji and Leonard Church, and began supporting the Champions. In week 7 she assisted Church and Junpei Tenmyouji with returning to the mall simulation, allowing them to contact Ardyn and Yuuri Wakasa. She provided similar assistance to Arianna Wakasa in week 8, but for unclear reasons Arianna was instead sent to the Flavortown simulation.

After transferring back into the Shadow android, C.E.C.E. assisted Church, Arianna, Jane Crocker of Nohr, Touko Fukawa, and Xander of Nohr on an unknown excursion, during which they recovered PAL's memory card and C.E.C.E. chose to begin using the name Mina. Mina then accompanied the surviving Champions to the final trial.

Pilot

In the pilot, in addition to her usual functions, C.E.C.E. performed the tasks normally associated with Overseers: answering questions for Champions, providing the pilot's incentive, and moderating the trial.

Notes

Speculation

  • C.E.C.E. may be a successor to M.I.K.E. Both are AIs designed to watch over Champions in suspended animation, which were made unnecessarily sapient, leading to them befriending their charges and ultimately to them pursuing unexpected courses of action.

Trivia

  • Jane Crocker has noted that "Champion Excellence Control Environment" is a valid Champion title. The significance of this, if any, is unknown.
