The AI-driven system can manifest itself as a hologram on the bridge, or through a synthesized body. The computer room is located in an armoured room that is normally inaccessible. Since the system is involved in nearly all functions of the ship, it is vitally important. This was brutally clear to the crew of the YSS Yui (YD-30) when a seraph infiltrated the ship and destroyed the ship's MEGAMI, rendering the ship stranded and unable to call for help. Access to the computer room is only available to both the ship's captain and chief technician or technicians from SARA or KES. While not truly sentient, the CIES system is intelligent and intuitive, and usually interacts fairly well with the crew. | The AI-driven system can manifest itself as a hologram on the bridge, or through a synthesized body.

CIES is an extremely fast and powerful computer system. Characters will almost never have to wait on it to think things over or to reply. If you know or can find out the answer to a question your character asks CIES, it is okay (and even expected) to also post CIES's reply. | CIES is an extremely fast and powerful computer system.
