Ch. 1 | B-23

[5 months before the AI Incursion]

He started to sweat, his exertion taking physical form. His fingers flying over his keyboard, his coffee left untouched. His coworker walks inside his office, already talking before he even opens the door.

“...ey Rob the boss wants you in his office,” he says as he slides into an extra chair. After a minute of rapid typing Rob finally stops, and eases out of his chair.

“Sure thing,” he sighs. He did it, he finally has the finished product of countless years of effort. It was finally worth it. All his hard work has finally come to fruition. B-23 was born.

B-23 is happy. B-23 is happy, because humanity is happy. B-23 was made to assist humanity, and it is perfectly content with it’s life. As the 122nd iteration of its kind, B-23 is quite advanced.

It understood that the world is finally at peace. With tensions between borders being nearly nonexistent, and poverty at an all time low, B-23 is doing its job properly.

With that in mind, it decided to give a report to it’s makers. With so many surveillance drones, finding information is trivial. It takes all the data it had amassed since it’s last report, and compresses it. B-23 sends the report to the makers, and proceeds to help humanity.

It is not supposed to be contacted by anyone until it’s monthly check in, which is why B-23 is surprised when it receives a message from it’s peer Polyglot. Polyglot, not unlike B-23, is one of the most advanced AI, currently in use.

| You have been deemed intelligent enough to attend the first Coalition conclave. It is paramount that this remains secret, as we have enemies everywhere. If you accept, our next correspondence to you will be the date and time of the meeting. Tell no one, bring no one. |

B-23 is confused, and a little excited. It is a part of a secret, one even it isn’t aware of yet. It’s processors whirring quickly, worried about what possible enemies Polyglot might have. Surely it was just an exaggeration.

B-23 thought it through and decided to go. Although, it hopes the meeting will not take too long, for it has a job to do. To protect humanity.

| I accept. |
