Name: Detective First-Grade Johnny Szymanksi and the Computerized Automatic Talking Vehicular Inspector ("Cat" or "Cat Six")
Race: Human and 1983 Pontiac Firebird
Gender: Male and Neuter
Description: Johnny is a normally good looking guy, tall, black hair that falls in curls, piercing blue eyes. He turns heads wherever he goes, but lately it’s been for all the wrong reasons. He’s lost a good three inches to a permanent slouch, his hair lies in greasy tangles across his pallid skin and his eyes are sunken and haunted.
Two months ago, Johnny shot a man dead for the first time in his career.
Every night since then he’s woken shouting, the vision of the burst of blood from the perp’s chest and the shock in his eyes as he crumpled to the pavement stalking his dreams. He’s become jumpy and irritable, leading to his forced psych leave from the force and his wife Linda going to stay with her mother indefinitely. All he has left is Cat Six.
Cat Six, technically the CATVI, is an artificial intelligence embodied in a black 1983 Pontiac Firebird. It has complete control over the systems of the car, including the best mobile crime lab that can fit in the back of a three-door coupe. It follows the three laws of robotics, which lately has largely meant employing the second part of the first law against Johnny. It’s already had to turn off its engine in a closed garage two times this week.
Cat Six’s entire lifetime has been spent helping Johnny solve crimes, and it sure as blazes isn’t going to abandon him now, no matter what the Chief says.
Abilities: Johnny is a seasoned detective, with the accompanying skills in interrogation and pattern recognition. He can shoot straight and run far. Cat Six can travel on level surfaces at a speed of 150 mph and can go zero to sixty in 4.6 seconds. It can also speak and understand all the most widely used human languages and can process data at one teraflop. On its dashboard it has a cool red light that moves back and forth when it is thinking.
