User:S.S Matt/Sympathy

Sympathy is the caretaker of a forerunner structure on the planet Petra that was designed to destroy or deactivate any technology within range of it's pulse wave. His true 'name' is unknown to all but Lapideus, who refers to him simply as "Sympathy". This most likely is a shortened version of the A.I's actual name, although this can not be proven since he refuses to tell anyone even when ordered (he is rampant), and Lapideus passed away 16 years before the arrival of the humans to Petra.

Many believed Sympathy to have been destroyed in the artifact's pulse, because the device on Lapideus's wrist that he spoke through was disabled. What the Nian didn't realize is that it was only a communications device and a weapon, but not the A.I himself. Sympathy later reveals himself to Niran upon the arrival of the Reclaimers.
