The Alternate Life Improvable Cerebral Encoder is an advanced artificial intelligence designed to solve problems aboard the space ship found in the short story, [Protocol](http://ruthannereid.com/short-stories/protocol/).

Where H.E.R. is designed for the most basic of decisions and problem-solving, A.L.I.C.E. is far more capable, very much equivalent to a living mind, though since she requires more power, she is usually left offline.

She's brought into place when H.E.R. faces a problem with more subtlety than basic math, and comes standard on Association ships.
