Nocturne is an Omega Class Ai created by Precision and Contingency Operations.



Warning: spoilers below

Nocturne was created as part of project Looking Glass, to oversee PnC affairs in the Remnant system, and to keep Lachesis and Echo on a tight leash in case Looking Glass was indeed executed. Nocturne was not created for combat: this feature would be executed by Lachesis, who has shown to be adept at conflict, and Echo, who had uncanny knowledge of the future and seemed sympathetic to PnC objectives, both of whom were potentially untrustworthy and would need a caretaker, Nocturne.

Nocturne is first mentioned in Mission C1L7, where Tyr has trouble getting into a remote database, as he is locked out by another AI, an AI that apparently claims to be an Omega Class Ai. The next two missions revolve around getting the facility where Nocturne is stored. It is found out that Nocturne is not only Omega Class, but achronal, working across the timeline to get it's objectives done. In Mission C1L9, Tyr figures out that Nocturne is using the same Temporal Transceiver that Tyr designed to view and manipulate the timeline, the same one that Tyr begrudgingly created and gave to Bertrand Rathke for use with the intelligence of his ship, the C.E. Manticore. Tyr activated a backdoor failsafe, which shut down the transceiver, and caused Nocturne to lose achronality. Tyr then picked up Nocturne, and, in process apparently similar to torture, started decrypting it, for information about the plans of Precision and Contingency. What happened to Nocturne after that is unknown.
