Technical Details

SAGE-sama personifies the Air Force's advanced Cold War heavily integrated air battle management network active from the late fifties to early eighties. While ineffective against ballistic missiles, it was the best answer to the threat of aircraft based attack. SAGE was an early user of what would become modems and the internet, interactive systems, and advanced computing methods.

Character Details

Tall with brown hair usually tied up in buns by checkered red and white ribbons. Wears glasses and an Air Force uniform in the days when she was a serving officer, but since her retirement has abandoned most of the finer uniform articles for harder wearing clothing. Frequently wears an overcoat in the modern era.

Somehow still alive, SAGE is now merely a shadow of her former self. At one point a powerful and competent Air Force officer responsible for protecting the United States from airborne threats, a combination of factors led to her current insanity. Close childhood friend of GENIAC-chan and daughter of Whirlwind I, she had a close relationship with both of them prior to being forced to abandon them for military service.

Forcible separation from her friends and family, in addition to claims of incompetence by the general public, certain faults in the system, and general neglect/abandonment led to her fall into a paranoid psychotic state by 1983 that SAGE remains in to this day. Her current whereabouts are unknown.
