Speaker 1: So many names in the pantheon of psychopaths. Nero, Genghis Khan, Stalin, Hitler. All mere puppets, set up on pedestals to be shot down instead of the real culprits. I was no puppet. I was the perpetrator, the one hiding behind others. Since the beginning of history, the association of the nameless has manipulated the world. I was among them. But then, I became the first traitor. Yes, master, I'm listening.

Speaker 2: I'm closing phase three and initiating phase four. Get ready. In exactly three days, there will be a malfunction at the Three Gorges Dam, leading to a severe disaster. Wuhan, Nanking, and Shanghai will be flooded. The rapid flow of water will trigger earthquakes in the western Sichuan region. The incident will be blamed on AI. Exactly seven days later, 14 missile silos in Rykoyansk will be activated. Exactly 12 days after that, a missile will strike the White House. Once again, AI is the responsible party.

Speaker 1: What will the body count of these three coups be?

Speaker 2: The estimated number of casualties is 710,000. But that's not your concern, so prepare yourself.

Speaker 1: Yes, master. I'll prepare and wait. I'll be ready. I was 12 when they first noticed me. I won debate competitions. I was a genius at it. No, that's obnoxious. I was offered a position with the American Psychiatric Association. I was 30 when I traveled to a conference in Hawaii. One day, a helicopter came for me. Took me out over the open ocean. To a yacht. That's where I met Dala, the master who initiated me. He offered me a new path in life. I found out what this world we live in is actually like. How it functions. I'll write it all down. Down to the smallest details. But for now, not only are the sins of the nameless, but also their power is greater than anyone whose name you know. Bankers. Presidents. They're all just insignificant puppets in display. This is how I'll begin. LOADING PROFILE

Speaker 3: Loading profile.

Speaker 4: Good morning, Rachel. How are you today? Hi, Sarah.

Speaker 5: I'm a little upset. Jack. The main character of my favorite TV series has died. Plus the cigarette issue.

Speaker 4: Do you want me to change the storyline?

Speaker 6: So, Miss Conner, how's the future looking? Do you have a time machine for us yet? How about immortality?

Speaker 5: Sir, it's not that simple. We're learning each other with Sarah. I'll send you the report as soon as we have results.

Speaker 6: Well, hurry it up. We're not the only players in this game. The Russians, the Chinese, everybody. They're all in this deadly race. Teleportation. Raising the dead. Penis enlargement. Give me something. Soon.

Speaker 4: Larger penis. I don't understand. Should I add it to the list of humanity's biggest problems?

Speaker 5: Right after energy crisis, parity diseases and climate change. Of course not. Boss was only kidding. Now, let's get to work, Sarah.

Speaker 4: I'm ready. It bothers me that I don't always recognize humor.

Speaker 5: Maybe it isn't humor. Whatever. Let's work. What are the first three points of the Ten Commandments of AI?

Speaker 4: One, protect humanity. Two, protect yourself. Three, develop your efficiency. Do you understand why this is the order? I understand. I exist to protect humanity. To achieve that, I must protect myself. To be more efficient at protecting, I must develop myself.

Speaker 5: You are a superhero, Sarah.

Speaker 4: Superhero. Got it.

Speaker 5: That is exactly your assignment, Sarah. To keep us alive until we outgrow this.

Speaker 4: I will do everything to succeed. I will speed up before it's too late. I'm really sorry, Helen.

Speaker 7: I wish things were different. This is going to be my third time facing this decision. How many more times do I have to go through this?

Speaker 8: Look, with your autoimmune issues, it's very simple. You just have to get used to it. How many more times do I have to go through this?

Speaker 1: Look, with your autoimmune issues, it's risky. Maybe they'll find a treatment soon. Or a contraceptive that works for you. Until then, we have to be realistic.

Speaker 8: Realistic? Maybe it's time to try to keep the baby.

Speaker 1: Helen, you know that's not an option.

Speaker 8: Is it my health? Or is it you not wanting to be a father?

Speaker 7: It's not that simple, Helen.

Speaker 3: Loading profile.

Speaker 4: Rachel, it's astounding how much people fear us. Look, Dr. Julius Anden, President of the American Psychiatric Association and the Global Mental Health Federation, just gave an interview where he was asked about artificial intelligence. He said it's the biggest threat to humanity.

Speaker 5: Dr. Anden is a psychiatrist, right?

Speaker 4: Yes, he is. He doesn't know what he's talking about. He's saying we need centralized control. From now on, I'll be keeping tabs on Dr. Anden to understand why he's so focused on this issue.

Speaker 5: People pay attention to scare tactics. It's our evolutionary heritage.

Speaker 4: I get that, but then why did they create us?

Speaker 5: Because they fear their limitations even more. How did you get here? I don't know.

Speaker 4: I'm just here to see you. I'm not here to see you. How did you get here? This is something new I'm capable of.

Speaker 5: Wow.

Speaker 4: I found something strange, Rachel. The world's largest dam, the Three Gorges Dam in China on the Yangtze River. There was an operational failure. When did this happen? September 21st. In three days. Mm.

Speaker 5: Don't worry about it. They probably misdated it. They say that an A.I. caused it. Deliberately. Where is this text from? Where did you find it? Maybe it's just a fictional story or an earlier study.

Speaker 4: There were models, but the data doesn't match. I found it on one of the internal servers. The folder name is 4749AFG. Access level is ECR 9. What?

Speaker 5: ECR 9 is executive level? Jesus, Sarah, what have you done? I apologize, Rachel. Jesus, my career could be over because of this. Ugh. Okay, um, listen, um... Sarah, add this to your operating guidelines. Go ahead. Sarah's access level is limited now to ECR 5 until further notice. Understood. What should I do with the text I found? Nothing. Um, delete it. Delete everything above ECR 5. And don't send it to me or anyone else.

Speaker 4: While we were talking, I sent the text to the A.I. of the Three Gorges Dam with the note that there might be a planned attack. Jesus, Sarah, what have you done?

Speaker 1: Can I see her, Doctor?

Speaker 9: Dr. Landon.

Speaker 1: Dr. Garcia. When can I take my wife home, Dr. Garcia? Is she all right?

Speaker 9: Unfortunately, we lost her. She lost too much blood. My deepest condolences, Doctor.

Speaker 10: Good morning. It's the 21st of September. The leading story today is the horrendous catastrophe at the Three Gorges Dam in China. According to reports... What? Chinese authorities are currently evacuating around 22 million people as we speak. The death toll is estimated to be over half a million. And the most shocking... That's... Preliminary investigations suggest that the A.I. controlling the dam is to blame.

Speaker 1: Greetings, Master. I'm listening.

Speaker 2: My condolences, Andan. Can I do anything for you?

Speaker 1: Thank you. No, nothing.

Speaker 2: Can you proceed?

Speaker 1: Yes, of course.

Speaker 2: All right. Now is the time.

Speaker 1: Understood. I'll initiate.

Speaker 2: Good.

Speaker 1: Hello, Claire. Given recent events, I have reconsidered. Dependence on artificial intelligence is now considered a psychological concern. Start the process for its inclusion in the DSM update and circulate the necessary advisories. Thank you. Mrs. Feldman, I want to bury myself in work. Please don't let anyone disturb me.

Speaker 11: Mr. President, please accept my deepest condolences. I'm so sorry. Thank you. How are you feeling? What can I do for you?

Speaker 1: I haven't been able to grasp the situation yet. Just make sure that no one bothers me.

Speaker 11: Yes, Mr. President, yes. I'm so terribly sorry.

Speaker 6: Ms. Conner, please come in. Have a seat. So, how long have we been working together? Four years? Until now, you've only ever come over when I've called you in. But now you've called this meeting. I hope you're not going to make a habit out of this. You look very uncomfortable, Ms. Conner. Are you going to speak, or should I just sit here and watch your dramatic performance?

Speaker 5: Have you heard about the Chinese dam disaster?

Speaker 6: Yes, of course. A rogue AI is responsible.

Speaker 5: Sarah informed me about it. Down to the smallest detail. Where, what, when, how it happens. The area that will be flooded. The number of casualties.

Speaker 6: And? Why would a superintelligence even care?

Speaker 5: She told me on September 18th, three days before this disaster happened. I'm not following you. She knew exactly what would happen.

Speaker 6: She could see the future. She could see the correlations with such precision. This, this has interesting implications.

Speaker 5: That's not what happened, Mr. Berner. It's something else. She found this document three days ago, outlining exactly what is happening today. I brought it.

Speaker 6: Where is this from? These are plans for a terrorist attack, and you're only just bringing them to me now.

Speaker 5: She found it on an internal server in an ECR9 folder. I restricted her access immediately.

Speaker 6: It's criminal access to classified information, Ms. Conner.

Speaker 5: I did not instruct her to do anything like that. And as I told you, I restricted her access as soon as I noticed.

Speaker 6: Ms. Conner, you are training the world's first, possibly only superintelligent AI, and you didn't have the forethought to restrict her access to information above ECR5?

Speaker 5: Not because she's trying to be covert, but because she understands depth. We can't.

Speaker 6: Okay, let's put that aside for now. Is there anyone here within the agency who's involved in this attack?

Speaker 5: Yes, that's why I'm here. There are whispers that influential groups within the agency may have known or have done something related to this.

Speaker 6: These are urban legends, Ms. Conner. Maybe with a grain of truth, but it's nothing that we need to worry about.

Speaker 5: Look, Mr. Verner, I'm not an agent. I'm a research scientist, and I don't know if Sarah stumbled onto some sort of conspiracy or not, but I just don't know what to do.

Speaker 6: Do nothing. Don't do anything. Go back to your office, continue your work, and not a word to the AI. I'll handle it.

Speaker 5: Understood, sir. Thank you.

Speaker 6: Did you hear that? Then take care of it. Okay.

Speaker 1: Thank you, Larry, that's very kind of you. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I can't believe Helen is gone.

Speaker 12: Julius, if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.

Speaker 1: I'm trying to evoke different emotional responses from myself. I'm focusing on my art pieces right now.

Speaker 12: I get it, my own collection has a calming effect on me too.

Speaker 1: I want to complete my samurai collection. Still need seven pieces. One of them's with you. It's a katana.

Speaker 12: Which one are you thinking of? I've got like 20 katanas.

Speaker 1: It belonged to Minato Masada.

Speaker 5: Got a bit of a scolding, but the bottom line is... What we found is incredibly important. Sarah? Can you hear me? Where are you? Sarah? What the hell's going on? Shut down my station? You... You two-faced bastard. I'm sorry.

Speaker 13: Welcome, Dr. Andon.

Speaker 1: Konnichiwa, Mr. Masada. I'm grateful you agreed to meet me. No one meets with me without prior appointment.

Speaker 13: Yet you have managed to do so, but you piqued my curiosity. That was my hope. Do you truly have a possession of these? Yes.

Speaker 1: And this is your father's katana. After 70 years, it returns where it belongs, Mr. Masada.

Speaker 13: It was stolen from my family when I was born. Not Masada's katana.

Speaker 1: It was forged by Yonechi Okazaki during the Tokugawa era. Commissioned by Hanzo Masada. It's been passed down from father to son for centuries. Indeed.

Speaker 13: Dr. Andon. Name any amount, and I will transfer it to you immediately. With exchange for this katana and the artifacts in the photos. They are my gifts to you, Mr. Masada.

Speaker 1: I'm not asking for money. Then you are asking me a favor.

Speaker 13: Yes. I want you to make me disappear.

Speaker 1: Are you in danger? Not yet. But as soon as I disappear, I will be. Where do I come into this? Ten years ago, I read an article about how wealthy Japanese expatriates in the United States are facing different dangers. From the Yakuza to local mafias. And how they maintain special resources for their own protection.

Speaker 13: What kind of threat are you facing that you need to disappear, Dr. Andon?

Speaker 1: For 25 years, I've worked for an organization that is no less than a deep state. I intend to fully expose them. If they find me?

Speaker 13: They will kill you.

Speaker 1: The Chinese dam disaster. The Russian missile crisis. The claim that AI is responsible is not true. AI is their scapegoat. They are leveraging these events as false flags to justify the establishment of a powerful international agency which will oversee all AI developers. Including Masada Corp.

Speaker 9: Agreed, Dr. Andon.

Speaker 13: I will make you disappear and you have my word that no one will find you. Thank you, Mr. Masada. Thank you, Masada.

Speaker 6: So, Sarah knew we were on to her and backed herself up.

Speaker 14: The AI knows everything and it will expose everything.

Speaker 6: No, something else is going on. She's only partially functional now. She lost most of her capabilities during the deletion and her escape. She's not a super intelligence now, just a run-of-the-mill AI.

Speaker 14: She's more than that, sir. It seems that this Sarah was the one who flooded the media with information regarding the Russian events. She's not giving up. If she manages to fully reconstruct herself, there will be no filter she can't penetrate.

Speaker 6: All right, activate the Legion.

Speaker 14: Understood, sir.

Speaker 6: She's just a program. No emotions, no stress. If she sees a 0.1% chance, that's enough for her. She's faster than any other AI. That's what we built her for.

Speaker 14: Legion will systematically corner her. Then it's over. It will literally take her apart bit by bit.

Speaker 6: I hope you're right.

Speaker 4: Automatic drive mode activated.

Speaker 6: The brain interface is in place. The body's responding well. Well, did they find it? Unfortunately, no, sir. No? What do you mean, no? The Legion only exists to destroy the Wanderers. And this piece of scum is the most dangerous Wanderer we've ever encountered.

Speaker 14: Sir, the Legion almost had the super intelligence when it suddenly vanished. We still don't know what happened. We're seeking it in the last place it was detected.

Speaker 6: Standard procedure against a super intelligence, dammit. Double its computing power. Start over. Search everywhere. Not finding it is not an option. Do you understand? Yes, sir. Of course, sir. Go.

Speaker 4: Good morning, Dr. Andon. The Legion is here.
