Bisturi

Bisturi is the customized virtual intelligence interface for the Arcadia, brought online by Vladimir shortly before leaving the Dulabi system. She prefers the feminine pronoun.

Bisturi was introduced in episode 301, "Parallax Lost".

Appearance
Bisturi resides in Vladimir's workshop servers, with some processes running on the Arcadia mainframe.

When verbally interacting with the crew aboard the Arcadia, Bisturi often is represented on a nearby screen or holo as a flickering yellow light.

History
Vladimir had been collecting computer servers and parts and had begun work on a virtual intelligence for the ship, drawing from his previous experience and current interests. With the departure of Captain Eleanora Raleigh on the outskirts of the Dulabi system, Vladimir assumed command and shortly thereafter revealed the VI interface Bisturi.

Bisturi has a strong medical background, consummate with her origin as a medical VI for Vladimir. She has also demonstrated encryption skills, not unlike Vladimir.

Bisturi is the Spanish word for "scalpel".
