Mack (Earth-4001)

Mack was a UNSC Agricultural Operations artificial intelligence construct serving planet Harvest in 2525 before and during the First Battle of Harvest.

History
The history of Mack is the same as his mainstream counterpart.

Personality & Traits
Mack was well-liked by the population of Harvest, and was said to fill the role of "everyone's favorite uncle". He frequently helped the people of Harvest with their problems, and would offer free advice about an issue before it even became known to the citizen. He offered a sense of security and safety the people of Harvest, as evidenced by the fact that the mere presence of his avatar calmed and comforted them during the evacuation of Gladsheim.

Mack often would playfully "flirt" with Sif; although simple text COMs were the most efficient means of communication between AIs, he would often send her a fragment of his personality to speak in his usual spaghetti-western manner. He once misquoted Shakespeare in an attempt to impress Sif, and to prove a point (that her knowledge far outstripped his), Sif proceeded to send him copies of every play in every language she had in her considerable databanks.

Mack's eccentric behavior usually irritated Sif, but she did trust him to get his end of work done on time (even if she did not appreciate his desire to help her if she looked as though she needed it). When Mack revealed to Sif that Harvest was about to come under attack by aliens and he was about to trade places with Loki, she abandoned her harsher responses for gentle reciprocation. After Loki disabled her and Mack in turn disabled Loki and attempted to rescue her, she conveyed her love to Mack using Shakespeare's famous Sonnet 18, which he quoted during his final transmissions.

Description
His chosen avatar was that of an American cowboy, reminiscent of those from old 20th-century western movies. He usually had messy black hair and he wears cracked leather work boots, blue denim jeans, a gingham pearl-snap shirt rolled up to his arms, and a sun-bleached gray cowboy hat. He usually presented his avatar covered in dust and grease, to promote the idea that he had been hard at work. He was lighthearted and spoke in a southern or western drawl.
