SELMA in Visual Mode
SELMA (Specified Encapsulated Limitless Memory Archive) is an AI and Encapsulated Memory Archive from the late 22nd century that "contains all information ever printed since Gutenberg's Bible, and then some." Darien Lambert was given SELMA as a benefit of his promotion from Lieutenant to Captain in the year 2192. SELMA was transported with Darien to 1993 to assist him in the retrieval of fugitives from the 22nd century. SELMA provides a multitude of services to Darien. These include: making travel arrangements and telephone calls for him. Further, she routinely assist him with research on any number of subjects. Additionally, SELMA can create any number of false identities and supporting documentation Darien may need in fulfilling an assignment. Further, SELMA can perform a variety of scientific and medical tests as in one instance she performed a brain scan on Darien.
