Sloan

Governor Sloan was a Smart AI owned by the mining company Liang Dortmund. Sloan was created in the final months of the Human-Covenant war, sometime in 2551. After the conflict he was made de jure governor of Meridian, which was re-settled following the war as a mining settlement. By late 2558 Sloan was undergoing rampancy. Rather than be replaced by another AI and undergo Final Dispensation, Sloan remained in power, going as far as lowering the resolution of his holographic projections to save up on RAM for other uses. In October of that year Sloan was contacted by the rampant ONI AI Cortana, who was enlisting support from aging Smart AIs to stir a mechanical revolution.
