A few grammatical notes. I think on the Quick Start sheet you may have meant, under "Programs", that SSU is used to "probe witnesses" instead of "prob"? Under "Contacts" you may have meant "unnerve" rather than "enerve" (unless you meant "enervate"?). For "Resolving Rolls" third sentence "SSU will arrive at the base" (adding "at" to the sentence). Sixth sentence of second paragraph, "He is a man in his forties" instead of "on his forties". Last paragraph...maybe third sentence? "SSU infers that the leader thinks they've been informed" (changing "they" to "they've"). Finally, "They chalk it up..." instead of "They chalk up".

Also on the Consultant template for "Reference" "Locations" part three should be "Military Base" instead of "Militar Base".

Some of that should help you tighten up the documents. 

Okay, that stuff aside - I love this!!! omg! The idea of using a resume as the format and then the layout and colors in general. Normally I'd think, "Oh these colors may not be accessible cause for the colorblind..." and yada yada but I don't think that matters at all. Everything is so well laid out and easy to read. Admittedly this wouldn't be my kind of game to play but I love this kind of sci-fi and it's just such an interesting concept. I had to read through the example play document (VERY smart to have and necessary for something that would be unfamiliar to new players) and found it very engaging. 

Good work!

This game is a super simple hack of the excellent lofi 24xx by Jason Tocci. The idea here is to criticize the desensitization of AI voice among the populace, specially on online spaces where people opinions are swayed. In this pseudo resume one page TTRPG, you can roleplay as an Android dealing with humans in stressful situations, and the best tool you have is the Uncanny Valley, to almost fool people of your humanity, but not quite be considerated as so. All was written by me, there is some ortographic mistakes and brazilian structure of writing that I never bother with fixing, unless it hinders too much comprehension.
