Biv E. Ridge[1] is a drink tester robobrain operating in Appalachia.
Contents
Background
Biv is a drink tester robobrain found in the backroom of The Nukashine inside Big Al's Tattoo Parlor. Biv was acquired by Lewis, whose mother worked for General Atomics International before the Great War. Whether Biv was acquired legally was never explained by Lewis to Judy Lowell or the rest of Eta Psi.[2]
Lewis planned to use Biv to test Nukashine.[3] This was likely the best course of action, as a human who consumed that amount of alcohol from each drink would die from alcohol poisoning. It is unclear as to whether Biv's drunken manner of speech is a result of alcohol taste-testing, or if he was originally programmed to always sound a little intoxicated.
