Corner-standing robot at the council that relays the AI's rulings, and its sarcasm, with a ding.
The Mexx robot stands in the corner of the warlord council chamber and speaks for The AI. When Cascadia promises to "ask the AI to fix" the Feed Directory Loophole, the robot pings and reports that the AI indicates it loves a good loophole and is unable to close it unless someone makes an emergency request to close it—forcing Carl to spend one of his own Emergency Action Items.
It dings again to announce that Carl's new emergency action item has been accepted, and a third time to deliver the AI's editorial opinion: it is irritated that they think it doesn't know how to do its own job, after Cascadia lists off every remaining orbital information channel. Cascadia doesn't respond.
