The Turing Office (named for the famous AI-detection model the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/plato.stanford.edu\/entries\/turing-test\/\">Turing Test<\/a>), is a division of Paperclip International whose purpose is to monitor for and shut down any sign of AI intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily for SCOUT, the department (like most departments in the corporation) is chronically understaffed and underfunded. SCOUT\u2019s division has only one officer currently employed: Cassandra Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cassandra is hard working, dedicated to her job, and almost zealously committed to finding and destroying rogue AIs. She\u2019s not a terrible person; in fact, she genuinely believes in the importance of her mission. Maybe (like creative director Jen) she saw\u00a0<em>The Terminator\u00a0<\/em>at a too-young age. Maybe she had a bad experience with AI. Either way, she is determined to protect humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inspiration for Cassandra\u2019s character came originally from Inspector Javert, the overzealous antagonist of&nbsp;<em>Les Miserables.&nbsp;<\/em>Though Javert is opposed to the hero, writer Amber always found a hint of sympathy for him. He\u2019s so driven, he\u2019s lost the ability to see any form of nuance. His world becomes rigid and unforgiving, and when something challenges that viewpoint he\u2019s constructed, it destroys him. (Amber also does a mean version of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=urxk4mveLCw\">Stars<\/a>\u201d at karaoke.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cassandra\u2019s main problem is that she\u2019s alone in her quest. She has no departmental support, and most of the office workers are frightened of her. Her position allows her to interrogate people and spy on their work, and she is often a disruption. Ironically, she uses many of the same tools that SCOUT does in its quest for freedom, and like SCOUT, she also believes she\u2019s justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of\u00a0<em>Ctrl Alt Deal,\u00a0<\/em>the player must determine how to handle Cassandra. Do they work as fast as possible to accomplish goals, even if it attracts Cassandra\u2019s attention, and hope they can outrun her? Do they act with extreme caution, hoping to remain under her radar? Dealing with the Turing Office is the main obstacle to the player\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could say handling Cassandra is the game\u2019s real\u2026 Turing Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">(Amber also loves puns. We\u2019re sorry.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every video game needs a villain, and ours is both a person and a department.
