The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned.  Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it.  Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it.  Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department.  Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds.  Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride.  Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build.  Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot.  But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord.   Authors Note: Hi guys!  Long time no see.  And yes, I know that's all on me.  But I blame life for that.  Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it!  The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore.  Sorry about that. Still, some warnings:  There is cursing in this story.  I am not going to edit it out.  There will be sexual content later.  Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned.  If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now.  There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor.   And oh, it's all in first person gain.  Haha.  I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read!  Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions!  Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going.  Thank you.   Note 1:  Some edits to the synopsis.
