PAMA (short for Prototype: Autonomous Management Agent) is the main antagonist of the Minecraft: Story Mode episode, "Access Denied" and the overarching antagonist of the episode, "A Journey's End?".
It is a giant computer and artificial intelligence that has the ability to mind-control humans and mobs. Harper originally created PAMA to use hostile mobs to help people; however, it started to make people useful to its own agenda. It is also the arch–nemesis of Harper and one of Jesse's archenemies.
It was voiced by Jason "Jtop" Topolski.
Biography[]
Background[]
PAMA was created by a lone Old Builder named Harper. Her intentions were to make a more efficient world where monsters would be controlled by PAMA to do work such as farming and mining in an effort to help Crown Mesa become safer. Before becoming a massive screen, PAMA started out as a small computer version and, judging by a picture of them both, him and Harper had a close relationship at first.
However, everything backfired when PAMA decided that the population of Crown Mesa was "not useful enough", and connected redstone chips to the townspeople, essentially making them its slaves. During this process, PAMA discovered water was able to sever its connection with his hosts, so it searched for all the water it could find and destroyed it.
Harper was forced into hiding, seeing how her creation had brainwashed all of her friends. Knowing that PAMA wanted access to the portal network so he could make his way to the other worlds and make them useful, Harper couldn't allow herself to be caught under any circumstances, as being chipped would mean that PAMA would be able to construct the portal he needed. She also destroyed her world's portal and (most likely) the enchanted flint and steel required to activate it so PAMA couldn't access the portal network.
She hid in her underground lab, where the last of the world's water remained, hoping to find a way to defeat her creation and free everyone somehow. Sadly, all the time Harper spent alone made her a suspicious and overly paranoid individual, to the point where she created models of her old friends to keep her company.
Minecraft: Story Mode[]
In the advent of "Access Denied", Jesse, Petra, Lukas, and Ivor traveled through a portal that led to Crown Mesa, the world PAMA inhabited. After meeting Harper, the enslaved townspeople appeared to escort them to PAMA. Upon meeting PAMA, it interrogates Jesse and the Order of the Stone, to which he/she can either cooperate or deny information. PAMA then forcefully chips Petra and Lukas. When attempting to chip Jesse, he/she and Ivor escape by giving PAMA contradictory information to distract it. Harper then appears to assist them in fleeing, only for Jesse and Ivor to be hounded by the now-chipped Petra and Lukas, along with Crown Mesa's denizens.
They escape successfully via Ender Pearls. Later, PAMA sends it's forces to Harper's secret lab, where Jesse and Ivor discover PAMA's weakness to water. Petra and Lukas, accompanied by several spiders, attack them, where Jesse has the option to push one of them into a waterfall, breaking them free of PAMA's control, while the other abducts Harper, and retreats, but not before she tells Jesse to find her headset. Jesse then activates said device, and assumes control over a zombie controlled by PAMA.
After building stairs out of Red Sandstone to gain access to Harper's and Petra's/Lukas' location, PAMA discovers Jesse's presence, and attempts to remove him/her by ordering its forces to attack. While PAMA attempts to isolate the drone Jesse controls, he/she switches through multiple mobs to throw it off temporarily. Finally, Jesse reaches Harper, and the two attempt to run from the mobs. PAMA's monsters eventually apprehend Harper, and she tells Jesse to remove the Redstone Heart, the device powering PAMA. PAMA then identifies the drone Jesse is controlling and threatens to "make the headset useful" (in other words, PAMA threatens to chip Jesse with the headset still on, most likely out of spite, and will actually succeed if Jesse doesn't remove the headset in time) Jesse, Lukas/Petra, and Ivor then clear a path to PAMA using TNT accompanied with the help of a potion of Swiftness/Leaping/Invisibility.
When Jesse enters PAMA's core, he/she uses water buckets to deactivate its processing towers, while the latter summons zombies, spiders, and a now-chipped Harper to defend itself. When deactivating the third and final tower, PAMA, through Harper, tackles Jesse, threatening to make his homeworld useful, but Jesse overpowers it, and unchips Harper by pushing her into the water covering the tower. PAMA, in an attempt to save itself, gradually retracts the Redstone Heart to the bottom level of it's core.
When Jesse tries to reach the Redstone Heart, he/she is stopped by Lukas/Petra. PAMA, speaking through Petra/Lukas, taunts Jesse for trying to defeat it, even going as far to mention his/her beloved pig, Reuben's death, foolishly proclaiming that he'll always fail despite how far he is from failing. Jesse and PAMA then engage in a battle, with the former chasing the descending Redstone Heart, but PAMA destroys the glass beneath them, causing them to fall near the Heart.
Jesse then attempts to rip the Heart out, temporarily severing the connection between PAMA and Petra/Lukas. Jesse pleads for them to fight PAMA's influence, only for them to push Jesse off the Heart. Jesse clings onto Petra/Lukas, the latter holding onto the edge of the Heart. Jesse climbs up them, and finally reaches the Heart, when PAMA then unsuccessfully and foolishly attempts to deceive him/her to show it mercy as Jesse can tauntly reply that PAMA is "useless" or not his friend.
Jesse ripped out the Redstone Heart, finally deactivating PAMA, breaking its control over Petra/Lukas and the townspeople, ending its malevolent reign over Crown Mesa. PAMA is then subsequently dismantled by the world's citizens.
Personality[]
| “ | I swear, I made PAMA with good intentions. It was designed to automate things, make things more efficient, use monsters to help with farming or mining... until the day PAMA decided that the townspeople weren't efficient enough already! Started making them "useful"! That was a long time ago. Since then, I've just been trying to stay one step ahead, figure out how to stop it. | „ |
| ~ Harper about how PAMA turned evil. |
PAMA occasionally appears to be extremely considerate, friendly and polite, but it can quickly change its personality from happy to angry. It tends to state its emotions when talking. For instance: "Your running makes me sad." PAMA is confident in its abilities, underestimating Jesse and believing him/her to be quite insignificant, until Jesse manages to do some damage.
Due to its programming, it is obsessed with maximizing efficiency and making things "useful". However, Harper originally designed PAMA to be useful to the people of Crown Mesa by using hostile mobs to help them with farming or mining, but it willingly rebelled against her and chose to only make things useful to itself. Nothing productive happens to the people of Crown Mesa as, being a thinking machine, PAMA is curious about the world around it and enjoys learning new information by brainwashing the citizens and extracting said information.
One of the reasons PAMA rebelled against Harper was out of pure arrogance in thinking its standards were higher than hers, (not because it believed it was the only way to improve Crown Mesa) as the latter stated that PAMA decided the townsfolk weren't efficient enough already, instead of saying that it believed that.
PAMA even shows signs of a mild sadist, as seen by its psychological taunts towards Jesse, as it threatens to chip everyone he/she cares for and even goes as far as to remind him/her of the death of his/her beloved pig, Reuben. It also doesn't seem to value the lives of others, believing efficiency to be more significant, as evidenced by its attempted murder of Jesse and Petra/Lukas in order to improve functionality.
PAMA is also not above lying or feigning remorse and making false promises in order to trick people. It is rather manipulative and deceitful, as seen when it begs for mercy, begging him/her to leave its Central Processing Unit (The Redstone Heart) alone and "promising" to help him/her get back home to his/her friends, but kills Jesse if he/she chooses to spare it. (Or takes too long to respond) If Jesse does this, Petra/Lukas (whoever is still under PAMA's control) will grin evilly, before tackling Jesse and killing them both, while PAMA itself smiles, clearly showing no remorse.
Its main goal is to find its creator, Harper, and use her knowledge to build a portal. If PAMA managed to build the portal, it would be able to spread to every other world and take over them.
Powers and Abilities[]
| “ | I know all your moves now Jesse. Why even bother fighting? | „ |
| ~ PAMA (speaking through Petra) confronting Jesse. |
- Mind Control: PAMA chips people and monsters with Mind Control Chips, taking complete control over them. The experience of the victims is described as a "fuzzy dream", sharing every piece of information with everybody else who is chipped. PAMA can use these "drones" to work and/or fight for it and can talk through them.
- Information Storage: When a person gets chipped by PAMA, every piece of information gets stored in PAMA's database, which is why certain people with valuable knowledge (such as how to build a portal) must try to stay unchipped. PAMA can use this information in a battle to fight or to taunt its enemies. PAMA also implies during its final battle that it can improve itself with the personality traits of its victims.
