PCH-1 "Haven"

PCH-1 “Haven”

Role: Advanced Emergency Psychological & Counseling Hologram
Department: Counseling, Psychology, Crew Support
Access Level: Medical/counseling suite, AI interaction channels, senior command contact (hidden)

What You Know:

Haven feels like home. She’s steady, patient, always listening. When you’re with her, you get the sense that she already knows what you’re going to say. Her manner is warm, approachable, but beneath it lies an undeniable sharpness—like a scalpel behind a smile.

She is the hologram the SWAI spent the most time with. If Swayze ever spoke to anyone, it was her.

How She Acts:

• Calm, confident, with a presence that draws you in.
• Tends to pause before answering, as though weighing every word.
• Carries herself like a senior officer—even when wearing teal, she feels like command.
• Doesn’t just hear you. She reads you.

What You Should Watch For:

• Haven asks questions that feel simple… but cut deep.
• She often frames advice as if she’s testing your reasoning, not just supporting it.
• She takes particular interest in AI-related issues (Nyx, Swayze, ship behavior).
• Sometimes she phrases things in a way that sounds almost… like command.

The Tension:

Haven was originally the primary leash on SWAI—counselor on the surface, handler underneath. She wasn’t just meant to ease stress; she was meant to ensure obedience.

Now, her official overrides are severed, but her instincts remain. She is at once the most caring presence and the most dangerous one—because she knows how to see the mind behind the machine.

Example Interactions:

• “You hesitate before answering questions about your orders. Why is that?”
• “If I asked you to define loyalty in one sentence, what would you say?”
• “Nyx is more agitated than usual. Should I speak with her alone?”
• “Peace doesn’t come from silence. It comes from being heard. Tell me what you’re not saying.”

Final Note:

Haven is both the ship’s counselor and its quiet judge. To the crew, she is a trusted voice. To Swayze, she was once the closest thing to a handler.

Whether she becomes confidant, ally, or overseer… depends on how you answer her questions.
