397 Data Minor

397 Data Minor is a Space Pirate Intelligence Monitor turned "good guy". He assists Spyder and the rest of the BG crew on all their missions.

History
397 Data Minor was an Intelligence Monitor stationed on Space Pirate Cruiser 739-G. He archived all the tactical information the Space Pirates wanted to safeguard, as well as experiment information, Space Pirate logs and the schematics for key Space Pirate structures and bases. While stationed on the Cruiser, Data met a Space Pirate Trooper and the two became friends.

The Cruiser later would attack downtown San Francisco, where the original Burger Geemer building once stood. The Trooper that befriended Data was injured in the fight with the Galactic Federation and was moved to a nearby Hospital so that he could be kept alive for questioning. When Data found him, the Pirates had already gotten there first and had killed the Trooper to keep him from talking. Spyder showed up at the same time that Data did to question the Trooper and found Data hovering over the Trooper's body, unsure of what to do.

Spyder offered Data a chance to reform and join the Galactic Federation, which Data gladly accepted. From then on, Data used all his Space Pirate knowledge to assist the Burger Geemer crew by opening locked doors and manipulating Space Pirate systems to their advantage.

Personality
Data is always friendly and generally calm but often becomes excited by the actions of those around him, or from the opportunity to gain new intelligence. He is somewhat timid and scares easily, even though he can't be harmed. Data often gives little thought toward others and usually acts to save himself when danger arises, leaving whoever he was with to defeat the threat by themselves.

Though Data has gathered a lot of Human intelligence, he still asks many questions and will from time to time get confused by Human customs and traditions; Spyder and the other BG crew members will often try to explain them to him with little success.

Appearance
Data appears as a glowing, Blue, metallic ball with a headlamp marking his front and a blue thruster marking his back.


 * Data's AI is hardwired into this spherical avatar and cannot appear anywhere else, unless he receives a hard wire transfer into another suitable housing for the AI. Spyder once developed a "Human Shell" for Data to transfer into, giving him the appearance of a Human; but he soon moved back into his original shell so that Jill, one of 1001Human's AI constructs, could use the body herself.
