Heuristic Unified Entity (AKA H.U.E.)

Summary:

H.U.E. is a program meant to keep watch over prisoners. Most prisoners are predictable.
They've never had to deal with a prisoner like Gary before.

 

Updated infrequently, but still being updated :) Eventually. Like... once every few years at this point...

Notes:

So I watched Final Space back-to-back and H.U.E. is my favourite character by far (along with KVN tbh).

This is gonna be a little series of shorts that I come up with as I have time. Honestly I think most will come before Final Space canon starts happening, simply because we get to see H.U.E. in action there and I want to play around with possible events that made H.U.E. more like who they are in-canon.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: A Brief Prologue

Chapter Text

Despite the existence of a multitude of versions of the Heuristic Unified Entity (H.U.E.) program, there should be, overall, minimal variance between the coding of one H.U.E. and the next.

That being said, it was becoming increasingly more evident as time went on that the humans that created the H.U.E. program never took into account what it took to manage someone like Gary. The nature of the H.U.E. program is to adapt and change to suit the personality and requirements of their prisoner, so that they can be kept alive and functional for the duration of their sentence, while still being treated in the manner of an insensitive and impartial observer.

The amount of adapting that one particular H.U.E. variant will have to go through will result in changes the original programmers would claim impossible.
