"Hello, and again, welcome to the Travisa Inc Enrichment Center. We are currently experiencing technical difficulties due to circumstances of potentially apocalyptic significance beyond our control."―Announcer The Travisa Inc Announcement System, or simply known as the Announcer, is an automated public address AI system used throughout the Travisa Inc Enrichment Center,
She serves to guide Test Subjects when no other supervision is available, such as a Central Core. Narrated by a Soothing pre-recorded Female voice, the system will give relevant information regarding the current test chamber and other facility status.

When Dr. Travisa is booted up, she takes over the task of guiding Test subjects.

Marinette Scotts, a test subject, is accompanied by the automated announcement system through the first chambers of the game. The announcer tries to calm Marinette throughout the ruined test chambers, assuring that she has to continue with the testing as she is assumed to be the "future starter" due to the system working under the assumption that the planet has suffered an apocalyptic event.

The announcer makes many assumptions about the current state of the Enrichment Center, and it is evident that the messages were put in place to cover all circumstances. For instance, one message alludes to an Animal King, though any advice She may have given is cut off towards the end.

The announcer's primary role within the test chambers is to maintain testing under extenuating circumstances, including such events as an apocalypse. Although statements are given in a calming nature, the voice never hesitates in mentioning events that would encourage panic.

The announcer apparently represents the core of the Travisa Inc computer system, as it is able to replace Dr. Travisa' core with Defective Blue, though not without human intervention. The announcer's control over the Enrichment Center is limited compared to the main core.

Whilst it can monitor the state of the facility, it is limited to a set of pre-programmed actions, which are not always helpful, to try and continue testing at all costs. For instance, it will only initiate a core transfer in the event that both cores agree to the transfer (or a stalemate is resolved by human means), and only does this in the event of the main core's corruption.
