Zen

Zen was the name of a computer system featured on the British science fiction television series Blake's 7. On the show, the voice of the computer was provided by Peter Tuddenham. It was the master control computer installed on the ship known as the Liberator, and was responsible for maintaining most of the ship's systems. Lower ship functions were controlled by smaller computer systems, which in turn were all coordinated through Zen. Zen maintained a vocal interface so he could communicate with members of the crew at any time. Zen was completely subservient to the whims of Roj Blake and the rest of the crew, and would not take independent action that challenged their actions, even if it meant dire consequences for the ship itself.
