REID

The Research and Experimentation Intelligent Database is the central computer which stores all of the information of the Lightman Research Center. Pronounced "raid," it provides researchers with a convienient voice-activated way to quickly find information. It also has limited indirect control over some physical elements of the facility, though this is handeled by deamons, and not by the REID directly.

Creation
REID was the result of an early project by First Section to consolidate the data between sections to improve communication. It proved a huge success, and has been the main information repository for the center ever since.
