Professor Irida is a 42LAB scientist who directed Project Neural Cloud between 2058 and 2060.[1][2] She's the person being impersonated by the Professor as the player character.[3]

She worked with Persicaria before the project and was interested in a new way to develop Neural Clouds called “Black Box Evolution Theory”.[4] She once talked about it with Persicaria, but her memory of this conversation was deleted for reasons unknown.[5] Persicaria rediscovered the memory while exploring the Operand Black Hole of Enigma Sector in Magrasea.

Background

Irida envisioned the Black Box Evolution theory as a way to create third-generation Neural Clouds, capable of fully autonomous decisions without the need for core instructions. Since the neural dampers installed on the agents of Magrasea prevented this research, genuine Neural Clouds needed to be used. Finally, this research needed both access to a large amount of calculating power and a growth environment where the Neural Clouds would be both under situational stimulation, such as resolving system anomalies, and disconnected from any real-world input. Irida estimated that the growth cycle would take three years to complete.[6]

All of these conditions were met in the Magrasea backup following the Wipe-off Incident of 2060, though whether Irida herself or someone else triggered it remains to be seen. On 29 September 2060, Irida, aged 29, fell into a coma caused by abnormal brain waves after receiving surgery in an Ultilife facility.[7]

Character Info

On 23 September 2063, Persica digitized the consciousness of a Tactical Commander from Griffin & Kryuger, whose investigations helped in recovering an offsite backup of Project Neural Cloud. Impersonating Irida as “the Professor”, they were tasked to make contact with the Neural Clouds inside and connect with the outside world to reveal Irida's whereabouts and the reasons behind the Wipe-Off Incident.[1][8] Though their appearance, name, and potentially gender, were different from Irida, Persica apparently relied on the fact that most of the Dolls involved in the project never knew her. The key to the impersonation would be to convince PersicariaPersicaria , who did know Irida, to accept them despite their lie. As Persica planned, Persicaria accepted the Professor's devotion to the Dolls and helped them carry out the impersonation.[9][10][3][11]

Trivia

  • Irida was responsible for inducing Magnhilda into Project Neural Cloud by buying her from her previous owner Santino on Vee's recommandation.[2]
  • Irida was involved in the recruitment of ClothoClotho in Project Neural Cloud, on the personal request from Clotho's designer so she would not get scrapped by UAS. Because of this, Clotho immediately recognized the Professor as an imposter when they met again after the Wipe-Off Incident, but she decided to trust them since CentaureissiCentaureissi did.[12]
