"Dig This": A Halo 3 Machinima
Supascury for Palooka (PAL 10054-7)
Palooka is an AI assigned to Charlie to assist him with his mission, to Charlie’s inconvenience. He is calm and collected, primarily focused on technical and statistical information. His interactions with Charlie bring him out of that mindset, leading him into thinking processes other than what he was programmed for. Palooka possesses a few handicaps. One main handicap is that certain actions require authorization from an approved officer. The other main handicap is personalization. For example, Charlie makes use of this and gives him the name Palooka. Despite his limitations, he is still a powerful asset. He is used to communicate with the crew of the Aegis Fate and other research teams since the Ark is such a vast installation, and regular radios don’t have the range necessary. He is also useful in processing vast quantities of data that Charlie can’t do as fast on his own, bringing Charlie to need his services reluctantly and not wanting to admit so.

"In the event of a more substantial threat, the Aegis Fate will be utilizing the Web Doctrine. The frigate will be orbiting over the central point of the Ark. If a research team calls for military support, the frigate will arrive personally to provide extra firepower and reinforcements."
"Doctor Hudson, this is the first day I have spoken to you in any capacity. I’m surprised you feel this way so quickly. I have only the purest of intentions. My task is to assist you by any means with your mission. You’re fortunate enough as it is to have only me. If we are to be efficient together, we need to achieve some semblance of synergy."
"Considering the extensive unforgiving wasteland here, the Covenant fleet being decimated, and the cataclysmic event the Halo’s activation caused, in all likelihood they are “sleeping with the fishes” as they say."
