RESUME: When put together by European scientists, their most advanced computer developed an idiosyncrasy that they had not anticipated. PYTHAGORAS 1 chooses to project itself in the form of an ancient Greek philosopher - dipped in blue chrome!

Pythagoras 1 has abandoned its insipid grey hard drive stack and monitor screens and appears in this projected human form, constantly surrounded by nine rotating balls - each of which represents a sphere of the ATOMIUM building.

SPECIALIST SKILLS: Don't underestimate this electric blue projection. A computer containing an unfathomably complex neural net, Pythagoras 1 can manipulate aspects of his image very easily. A revolving holographic model of the Acropolis will appear in the palm of his hand, followed by essential data, a pictorial history and film footage.

However, despite the fact that he is immaterial, with great concentration, our computer friend can manipulate solid objects.

Like a genie, when necessary Pythagoras 1 appears from a member of the TWELVE STAR EURO TEAM'S T-GAP (Trans-Global Access Point).

CONFIDENTIAL: With their shared mathematical base, Pythagoras 1 enjoys music - especially Seventeenth Century Fugues. They can often be heard booming around the Atomium. He is also fond of quoting ancient Greek philosophers and playing chess with MARCUS. Sometimes, winning becomes an overwhelming obsession.
