The prototype AI pods led to the development of the Reptile Pod by Huey Emmerich for use by Peace Walker, its functions comparable to that of the human cerebellum. The Mammal Pod was another AI developed for use by Peace Walker by Stangelove. The hardware configuration was modeled on the high-level decision-making carried out by the human cerebrum, in order to provide the capability of ensuring nuclear deterrence. It was able to analyze a large volume of inputted data, and select an appropriate target for retaliation in the event of a nuclear strike on the United States. The Mammal Pod was designated BS-Imago, with the initials "BS" being an abbreviation of The Boss; the soldier upon whom the AI's decision-making capabilities were based.
