Everett

The Everett is the spaceship which functions as the setting for Quantum Suicide's story. The Everett was dispatched from the Earth in the year 2092, following a period of cataclysm which threatened humanity's continued existence. The ship is a military spacecraft capable of 1/8th faster-than-light (FTL) travel. Its mission has been to locate, reach, and terraform a suitable new planet, classified as Gliese 832c. Following the planned terraforming, the crew is expected to inhabit and populate this world, thus ensuring the survival of the human species.

Recently, the Everett's artificial intelligence system, known as A.I., has experienced a major wave of corruption, resulting in the system developing a kind of split personality. The original personality continues to be called A.I., while the new, malevolent one calls itself "D.A.I." This has resulted in the emergence of the "Deletion Game."
