"One of the unique characters for the show is Series Acclimation Mil (a.k.a. Sam), played by Kerrice Brooks, described by the official synopsis as βthe first of her kind to ever attend Starfleet Academy.β During the panel, Brooks explained what that actually means:
βI am a photonic. I am a hologram. So with that being said, Sam is programmed to feel a certain age. But she was literally only created, like weeks ago. So sheβs like a newborn. Everything is so fresh to her. And that is just the most magical thing to go from. Because youβre back in a childlike state. And children, anatomically, your bones arenβt formed yetβ¦ I guess holograms donβt have bones, but emotional bones, you know what I am saying?β
So, from an AI species doing things by AI rules.
