Background

Upon the construction of the great Blimp, the Architect, who’s name is simply lost to time, realized that for the blimp and its crew to be successful, they would need help. Most importantly, the Architect realized that the future crew of this ship would need someone to keep them safe.

[INITIATING]

[THE INSTRUCTIONAL SAFETY OCCUPATION NETWORK (I.S.O.N) IS NOW ONLINE]

The I.S.O.N AI was designed with one goal in mind, to keep the crew of the Hardison Blimp safe and sound. It was designed as a smart AI, able to gain knowledge of its surroundings, its crew, and an endless amount of safety requirements in order to ensure the crew has safe travels.

I.S.O.N began xer life as the ship’s on board AI, safety officer and aid, able to tap into the electronics across the blimp. Anything from CPR training to calming down techniques I.S.O.N was able to aid in, and with the ability to zip around to different places in the ship, the crew eventually fell in love with the AI.

I.S.O.N has a common moniker, as the crew member who always saw them off and welcomed them home, notably, the phrase “Keep Safe!” stuck with the entire crew, which spawned the nickname Keeps.

Physical Form

Eventually, Keeps expressed the need to want to leave the Blimp, for the sake of attending the rest of the crew’s adventures. After a particular mission that left crew members hurt, Keeps passionately expressed the need for a body, and the crew went to work.

Brass, titanium, wiring and silicon, after many weeks with help from the likes of the doctor, the engineer and the original documents left by the blimp’s Architect, a body was formed. I.S.O.N was thrilled to receive the body, and this began a new chapter in their life.

Due to the nature of Keeps’ DIY body, not everything is always up to speed, Keeps often experiences the gears and joints slip out of place in their legs, resulting in falls. Upon their entrance to baseball, the crew doctor helped craft strong and reliable braces that support Keeps’ legs and allow them to play blaseball.

Relationship With Blaseball

Their love for blaseball began long before joining The Lovers, in its infancy, often The Captain or the Architect would put on the games radio broadcasts, and eventually, after Keeps received a body, xe went to their first real blaseball game in San Francisco. Of course, Keeps is worried about folks getting hurt during play, but that doesn't prevent their love for the splort. Unfortunately for I.S.O.N, they are unaware of the more...violent injuries that blaseball results in.

I.S.O.N is proud to be a Lover, and is happy it now has two families it can love, protect and play blaseball with.
