Readily Available Very Educational Network (RAVEN)
Syntax:RAVEN [query]
-avatar [query]
Description:
RAVEN is an interactive knowledge database. The system creates a holographic representation of the ship's computer that can then be spoken to directly.
To make a hologram appear or disappear, type RAVEN with no arguments.
To query the avatar, you can use the RAVEN command (RA for short) followed by your question or you can TALK <avatar name>.
To get a list of all topic keywords that a RAVEN knows (warning: spamming), query: 'What do you know?'
In addition to database queries, you can speak directly to the avatar to ask it a yes or no question, tell it a knock knock joke, or ask it what activity you should do. To speak directly, use the stage-talk command (either ` or -) followed by the avatar's name.
Examples:
For these examples, we will assume your avatar's name is 'a holographic representation of the ship's computer'
