Digital Hauntings

A ghost inhabits a Martian colony’s mainframe and begins tormenting the settlers.

In this distant, isolated Martian colony, the settlers are deeply confused and terrified; their AI system seems to have been possessed by a ghost. Explore what it means for an entity that should purely be logic and cold calculations to be haunted. How would an entity made of code interpret a ghost’s actions? How does this disrupt the lives of the colonists and how can they possibly fight against an invisible enemy?
