P.E.N.

P.E.N.

Administrator P.E.N. is a regular pencil, which got put up as new Administrator for the Training Bot/CORE AI, after the previous admin Mr. Crimson of the Gamma Timeline died in the 1990 Incident at the Deep Sea Base.

The CORE controls the majority of Pine Island In the Gamma Timeline, and listens to the input of the administrator P.E.N. which as you might expect, doesn't act in any way, since it is a pencil. That is why the CORE acts passive-aggressively throughout its time in ACT III, until it launches a preprogrammed self-defense routine after Edward and PC tried to take over the CORE.

Information
After the 1990 Incident which killed Crimson, the CORE required a new administrator, and so it chose the nearest object, a pen/pencil to take the role it needed. After this decision, it took all control over the island and trapped the Time Agents to die who were working in the CORE room. P.E.N. Is protected in the CORE room with a glass casing to prevent it from being broken, stopping all commands from going to the CORE.
