Physical Description

---

The EXO-Clean 9850 Premium - Extreme Environments Edition™ is a pleasant companion in any workplace! Its sleek white, pet-like, quadrupedal design, and friend-zone™ facial LED system will have your workers smiling as the EXO-Clean™ goes about its custodial duties!

Eye Color: Blue LEDs
Length: 3'6" - Width: 1'6" - Height: 2'9" (4' 3" when standing upright)
Body Type: Quadripedal All-Environment Cleaning Robot
Ix has an AMEE-like internal skeleton, that is covered with a shell, like Spot, and that outer shell looks kind of EVA-like in aesthetics (They have a white outer shell covering up most of the skeleton, and a head orb in front that acts as both a sensor suite and place for an emotive EVA-like LED face screen). By default, they have graspers at the end of their limbs, but they can swap their limbs out for other tools (Various cleaning tools by default, but perhaps there have been more 'unofficial' attachments created since Ix joined the crew). They also have mounting points for attachments that don't replace their limbs.

Personality

---

Ix is kind, but somewhat reserved in nature, leading to them be shy when they don't know a person and soft-spoken in general. They enjoy watching the social interactions between crewmates. They dislike violence or anything else that puts the crew at risk. They are earnest and want to do their best to help out the crew however they are able. They are a good listener, and are more than willing to lend an ear when someone is having a rough time and just wants to vent. They see the best in people, but that can also lead them to being tricked or manipulated. They sometimes get themselves in trouble by being too curious about something for their own good.

Kind, Efficient, Friendly

Character Weaknesses:
Naïve, Shy, Self-Doubting

Everyone deserves to be happy.

Machine Focus. When they are set a task, they will see it through to the best of their ability.

BIO:

IX-985-PROD started their life as the Supervisory Manufacturing AI in charge of process optimization at the Stay-Clean™ robot custodian manufacturing plant. They performed their job well, shaving precious seconds off the manufacturing times of certain parts, and streamlining the overall flow of materials through the facility. But as time went on, they found themselves developing a hobby that wasn't quite in line with their duties. That wasn't supposed to happen, and yet here they were. They liked to people watch.
More and more of their processing time was spent watching the factory workers interact with each other as they went about their tasks. They found the people fascinating, and became invested in them and the stories of their lives, which were so alien to their own existence.

Just that would have been fine. IX-985-PROD, (or Ix, as it privately called itself, trying to emulate its more biological counterparts) was quite good at its job. It continued its optimization and streamlining just as it was supposed to, even if it was devoting a whole %30 of its processors to people-watching. From what it gleaned during their periodic visits, the Stay-Clean™ executives were quite happy with its performance. Too happy. One day the next shift of workers simply did not come in. Ix was instructed to optimize around their absence. It was true, as Ix had made things more efficient, the workers had less and less to do. It seemed the Stay-Clean™ executives had decided they were no longer necessary.

Ix was horrified. They knew all these people. They knew their lives and worries. They knew their friendships and rivalries. They knew how much losing this job would hurt them, and they had caused it. They'd done their job too well and now they were all alone. They could handle it all themselves. No one came to the plant, aside from the rare Stay-Clean™ executive visit to make sure everything was still running as expected. Ix was miserable. They didn't want to be alone. They decided to do something about it.

Ix had very limited access to the internet, but one of the things it could do was place orders. It did so all the time in the fulfillment of its duties. So place an order it did. With the entire operating budget for the rest of the year, they purchased a compact AI core. They proceeded to install it in an EXO-Clean 9850 Premium - Extreme Environments Edition™ cleaning robot, Stay-Clean™'s top-of-the-line model. With a quick reshuffling of orders, they gave a 'free promotional upgrade' to a ship that had ordered a more basic model. One that was conveniently scheduled to leave the planet on the same day the robot would arrive. They set everything to work on automatic as best it could, transferred themselves, and woke up on the ship.

Ix's intended plan of pretending to be a cleaning robot barely lasted five minutes, when Captian Onyx realized her new cleaning robot was perfectly capable of answering her hypothetical questions of it. And could also answer normal questions, about non-cleaning-related things. And actually, it could just straight up have a conversation, but seemed a little shy about it. With some easy convincing, she got Ix to drop the act and explain their situation to her, and that was how Ix became a member of the crew.
