| As a splinder group of the Morgan faction, the Data Angels live in a shadow of intrigue, conspiracy, and covert operations, working to undermine the established goverments of the Planet. Although they can grow into a formidable military power if need be, the Angels prefer the use of their highly skilled probe teams.
The Cybernetic Consciousness evolved from a rogue algorithm in the Unity computers, and offers exceptional intellectual powers to any human who acts as a host for subroutine of the Consciousness. This faction is dedicated to the promotion of rationality and logic over backward human emotions. They possess exception research abilities, and arrive on Planet with knowledge of Polymorphic Software.
The Cybernetic ability to communicate and co-ordinate actions confers an efficiency bonus to this faction as well. However, they find it difficult to promote human reproduction, resulting in growth penalties, and they lack any kind of warrior spirit, decreasing troop morale. The Consciousness cannot make the Eudaimonic social engineering chocie, but they are immune to the negative efficency penalties for the Planned social engineering choice.

Psych Profile:
Emotionally Detached. Though details are unclear, best estimates are that Aki Hansen is now Aki Zeta-5, a sentient algorthim spawned during aforementioned experiment. How the algorithm entered body of Hansen is not known; nor is it known how much, if any, of her memories and personality still exist. Post-Planetfall functioning exhibits symptoms of Bipolar Disorder, characterized by erractic behaviour.
Her strong emphasis in logic and reason cause her to sacrifice emotion and intuition for pure practicality. High degree of treachery likely. Appeals to emotions, past, and humanity unlikely to succed. Dangerous in the extreme.

Background:
Aki Hansen born 2028, Hollingsdal Norway, of shopkeepr parents. Studied at Oslo University, earned Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Programming, Masters in Computer Science, Ph.D. Computer Science and Computer Age Philosophy. Becamse expect with C* and C** programming languages; joined Zakharov Research Institute three years prior to launch of Unity. Assigned to Alpha Centauri crew as expert computer tech.
Details are unclear, but evidents exists she initiated an unauthorized experiment in pre-sentient algorithms, using dormant bandwidth on the Unity computers, possibly on the orders of Prokhor Zakharov. She designed the experiment to run for 40 years, hoping for some interesting results over that unprecedented time frame.
However, upon awakening, the crew foudn a system crash message dated from launch +3 months, along with an auto-stack dump that indicated program failure. Hansen received disciplinary action for her part in the experiment.
She was striken with rheumatic fever three weeks prior to her arrival. Unaccounted for and resumed lost in hospital bay during the Unity crash. Reappeared soon after on Planet surface, now calling herself Aki Zeta-5.
