Smarter than the average Blair.
You know, it's pretty rude that we keep referring to a presumably-sentient entity as "the AI". She really needs a name. I recommend Aisha, because a) it's approximately thematically fitting given the resonance of the name in Hydral religion and b) I think she'll really hate it.

She wants a name, she can give herself a name. She's a fully sentient sophont, she can do proper big girl things like that. :colbert:

And the angel said unto him
"Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself."
But lo he could not. For the angel was hitting him with his own hands

Her real name, yes, she can no doubt pick one for herself. But surely she needs a nickname that she absolutely hates and which everybody uses all the time?

Considering how much her predictions of doom are ignored, Cassandra would fit the bill.

just a drop in the ocean.
She definitely needs to be called "Rommie" :3:

...if that's the case, then does that mean the Order of Cassandra has been doing her will the whole time? That... makes a lot of sense.

Can the game even be won at this point? If 4x's have taught me anything, it's that you can't stop a steam-roller without another roller, and the two rollers in this game both hate the hell out of us.

This isn't even a particularly bad position tbh.

Not only is Tulip correct, but it's important to remember that hating us != hating the Federation or its constituent parts. Everyone else is playing a 4X, but ours is a different game entirely. There's even an 'I'm a steamroller, so I'll join the federation' option.
