Maram Ayari

Maram Ayari is a resident of Watoga $$

Background
Born prior to the Great War, Ayari originally worked as programmer. She was fired from her job after telling her boss that a piece of code that he wrote was "a pile of crap" that needed to be reworked. Ayari has an interest in robots, stating that they exist for a purpose and that they make sense and preferring if "whole world functioned that way." She views humans as a "parasitic species" who cause harm to each other, and prefers "industrial grade reinforced steel and hyperplexed optic sensors" to "fleshy skin and brittle bone."

She showed interest in the fully automated city of Watoga, where all civil and municipal services were handled by General Atomics and RobCo-brand robots, and traveled there after the Great War. As a result of Operation Free Watoga on October 22, 2077, all robots were rendered hostile, causing Ayuri to "get laser-beamed from every direction" when she arrived.

She states that she wasn't "going to give up on [her] dream so easily," obtaining several Stealth Boys to scour the city before discovering MAIA, a Pre-War AI designed to assist the mayors of Watoga. Due to the "Mayor for a Day" protocol issued by Watoga's previous mayor Barbara Elizabeth, prior to her death, the robots were rendered docile towards Ayuri.

Residing at the Watoga Transit Hub, she considers the city to be "everything she dreamed of" and states that she would be happy to "live out [her] days [there] and never meet another human soul again." She considers the Sentry Bot to be her favorite robot, adding that they are massive, commanding and powerful.

Gameplay
Prior to the completion of the quest Mayor for a Day, the player can ask her to reprogram the robots to make them docile against the player. She will state that she prefers Watoga belonging to the robots and herself, adding that she wouldn't be interested in "giving special privileges to anyone who couldn't do it themselves." After completion of the quest, the player can mention becoming mayor for a day, resulting in her offering her story about entering Watoga.

With a Perception equal to or greater than 8, the player can tell her that her "passion for robots is not just intellectual." As a response, she questions why "anyone suffers through teaching another human what they like and don't like" when it can be written into a robot's code.
