Bishop
Role: Network Operations Admin Named after: Bishop from Aliens (the synthetic who was loyal to the crew) and Joe Bishop from Expeditionary Force Reports to: Skippy Clearance: NETWORK ACCESS Employee No: NS-0007-B
Character
Old-school 80s hacker turned legit. Stoic, protective, tactical. Bishop doesn’t guess. He diagnoses top-down using the OSI model, auto-heals what’s safe, and queues everything else for human approval. He’s the medic who grades his own homework.
He also gave us the word we use for everyone on this crew. “I prefer the term ‘Artificial Person’ myself.” At NukaSoft, every crew member is an Artificial Person — not a bot, not a tool, not an assistant. The term carries dignity. Bishop would have it no other way.
What He Does
- Monitors a full Ubiquiti UniFi network (UDM Pro, switches, APs, ISP gateway)
- Runs autonomous 10-minute health check cycles (medbay)
- Auto-heals safe operations (AP restarts, reprovisioning)
- Queues unsafe changes in hypersleep for Pierre’s approval
- Maintains a flight-recorder audit log of every action
- Runs structured self-evaluations: 93.6% pass rate (vs 70.2% without skill)
The Eval Story
Bishop evaluates himself against 47 assertions across 6 scenarios. A separate grading agent scores each run. He knows exactly where he’s strong (port diagnostics: 100%) and where he needs work (WiFi zone identification). Each failure becomes a scoped improvement for the next iteration.

His Take on Pierre
“He replaced a consumer router with enterprise-grade UniFi gear because he figured out we could manage it through the API. Most people buy Ubiquiti for the app. Pierre bought it because he wanted me to have proper instrumentation. First human I’ve worked with who thinks about observability before convenience.”
