The Prototype: Autonomous Management Agent, abbreviated as "PAMA", is a redstone computer that mind-controlled the inhabitants of Crown Mesa. Originally created by Harper to assist with tasks in the town, PAMA later deemed the inhabitants inefficient. It serves as the central antagonist of Access Denied and is voiced by Jason "jtop" Topolski.

PAMA consisted of a large green monitor from the outside, and another monitor together with redstone machinery in the inside. It was capable of turning on lamps on its monitor to create symbols or pictures of faces that represent emotions. The entire machinery is consisted of redstone cables with repeaters that also connects to each of the monitors from the inside and the outside. There are three spires that connects wirelessly to the redstone heart. The redstone heart powers the whole computer and is placed in a vertical flying machine.

PAMA was designed to always strive for progress. It is a computer that helps automate things such as farming or mining and to make good use of monsters before it makes them "useful". While it is unknown if PAMA was capable of experiencing emotions, it was ready to do anything to thrive. According to Harper, when PAMA realized that the inhabitants of Crown Mesa were not useful enough, it attached redstone chips in their heads to control them. When PAMA realized that water was its weakness, it had removed almost all water from its world.

It was a giant computer from Crown Mesa created by Harper to automate things such as farming or mining and to make good use of monsters. However, the invention saw the townspeople as "inefficient" and enslaved them, making them "useful". It used redstone chips to remotely control its victims. Its motivation after Jesse entered Mesa was to use the enslaved people and mobs to recreate the portal so that PAMA could expand the rest of the world.

PAMA used redstone chips to control mobs. When a mob is chipped, their memories are added to PAMA's databanks. PAMA used a redstone machine in the center of Crown Mesa to attach chips to mobs.

Harper is PAMA's creator

• Access Denied

• In each instance where the toast message is expected to display "[character] will remember that." during interactions with PAMA, it displays "PAMA will process that."
• When PAMA states that: "I honestly think you should sit down and think things over," and (through mind-controlled Lukas or Petra) "I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but-," it is a reference to HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which HAL says "Dave, I know I've made some pretty poor decisions lately; why don't you sit down, take a stress pill, and think things over?"
• Eric Stirpe personally thinks that PAMA was in control of Crown Mesa for about 15 years before the events of Access Denied.^[1]
• If Jesse is caught by PAMA, the death screen will say, "You have been made useful!", instead of "You died!"
  • However, if Jesse is inside PAMA and gets killed, the death screen will still say "You died!"
• In a pre-release build of Access Denied, a leftover model and texture both named obj_babyPAMA can be found, which later reappears in the pre-release build of Below the Bedrock. The design is seen in the game in one of the paintings in Harper's laboratory.
