Nerva Processing System Voice

methodical authoritative procedural procedurally bound impersonal laconic detached unemotional system-loyal
A synthetic command interface embedded within Space Station Nerva's tranquility system, this voice relays procedural updates with clinical detachment. It functions as the operational conduit between station systems and field agents, providing real-time status on explosives, scanners, and environmental controls. Though its speech is impersonal, it serves as Bettan's tactical lifeline during the Dalek containment operation. Operators access systems through this interface, translating system-generated commands into spoken directives.
