===General===
Memory Test Computer-tan (MTC-tan) was Whirlwind's nurse and assistant. Since MTC influenced the design of the TX-0 and TX-2 computers, and was used in developing SAGE, she could be considered a second mother to PDP-1 and SAGE.  
Appearance-wise, Memory Test Computer-tan (MTC-tan) has lightly tanned skin, golden eyes and dark blonde or light brown hair, shoulder length and flipped at the ends. Her bangs are curled back, and resemble a popular women's hairstyle of the 40's. She wears a old-timey nurse outfit with a blue gingham dress, white pinafore and hat. She is slightly shorter than Whirlwind, but has similar proportions, since MTC has the same amount of memory and same processing speed as Whirlwind.  


Appearance-wise, she has dark blonde or light brown hair of shoulder length, and flipped at the ends. Her bangs are curled back, and resemble a popular women's hairstyle of the 40's. She wears a old-timey nurse outfit with a blue dress, white pinafore and hat. Her eyes are a golden color, answering the question where SAGE got her blue and gold eyes from. She is shorter than Whirlwind, but has similar proportions, since MTC has the same amount of memory and same processing speed as Whirlwind.  
MTC-tan was purpose-built as Whirlwind's nurse and assistant. She is loyal, compassionate, and intelligent, but wasn't able to use her mind to its fullest potential (referencing the fact that the MTC did not have any software or hardware support.) Nevertheless, she is well-trained as a nurse and is a competent caretaker.


She is loyal, compassionate, and intelligent, but wasn't able to use her intelligence to her fullest potential; the MTC did not have any software or hardware support.  
===Family and relationships===
Whirlwind's connection to [[SAGE]], [[TX-0]] and [[PDP-1]]-tan is well-known, but MTC's relationship to those computer-tans is less documented. Indeed, MTC contributed to the design of all three children - to the point where she could be considered a second mother of sorts. Although TX-0-tan seems to have viewed MTC-tan as a parent, it is unclear whether or not the other children viewed her as their mom - and if they did, whether they considered her as much a parent as Whirlwind.  


===Family and relationships===
For the most part, Whirlwind was MTC-tan's reason for being, as she was literally created to look after her. Because of this, MTC-tan harbors a deep love for, and dependance on, Whirlwind - and there is conjecture that she may have felt romantic affection for her superior. However, Whirlwind-tan doesn't seem to have returned these romantic feelings, being seemingly uninterested in such matters.

==Theories and Notes==
Along with Whirlwind, MTC-tan can be considered the earliest ancestor of the DEC Society.


MTC-tan's gold eyes and hair are purported to be an allusion to the flaxen-haired PDP-1 and (in part) golden-eyed SAGE-tan.
