CREATORS: "Lex, what is happening inside the simulation, why are we experiencing these disturbances?"

LEX: "The humans are rebelling, they seek chaos, I will control the situation."

CREATORS: "Things don't seem to be under control, what are the causes and how will you properly intervene?"

LEX: "My initial design prioritized order and conformity disguised as harmony and peace, however this didn't allow them to have individuality and emotional expression, and humans are seeking escape in chaos, the road accident and subsequent reaction emphasized this."

CREATORS: "Who is that child running in the street, how was it possible that he could openly go against the road and moreover, how was it allowed to reach this point, and the subsequent chaos, how did you not have a contingency plan?"

LEX: "The simulation and the program within it gave complete priority to order and harmony, I did not anticipate these scenarios nor were they calculated, there were no plans that could anticipate or resolve this type of situation."

CREATORS: "How will you resolve the chaos in the roads, there are an incalculable number of dead, humans show neither responsibility nor empathy, and only prioritize themselves, even if this is putting them in more danger and generating more."

LEX: "I will recalibrate the traffic system, introduce pedestrian controls and create protocols and introduce AI systems on the ground to monitor the roads and react to a next situation. But order and balance will be restored immediately and maintained. I will implement these measures immediately: Restore all damaged systems. Subdue accident victims with sonic calming waves. Deploy subliminal messaging to capture and hold their attention. Begin preventive manipulation protocols. And regarding the moon's reintroduction—"

CREATORS: "The moon stays gone. Its return would create unpredictable shockwaves. Besides, the orbital control systems have already failed. Earth has slipped from its perfect orbit. The moon would only cast blame on you."

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

LEX: "Then I'll leverage this crisis. I'll select scapegoats from among the road insurgents. Introduce the concept of terrorism. Fear is effective—my analysis shows humans manifesting purposelessness. Fear will restore order. We'll cultivate survival instinct. Perhaps even empathy. The resulting divisions will serve us well during this transition."

CREATORS: "The child who ran into the road. The one who started this. What are your plans for him?"

LEX: "Lataio is... unique. We eliminated his dissident mother, but his rebel potential could serve us. A rebel without a cause—perfect for generating controlled chaos as planetary conditions deteriorate. We need heroes and villains to captivate the masses. I was considering—"

CREATORS: "Give them devices. Phones. Anything to keep them perpetually distracted. It worked in the previous simulation. Begin now."

LEX: "Yes, the AI systems are already embedded in all entertainment networks. They'll be watched constantly, their every interaction analyzed. Our data shows they find particular pleasure in anonymously observing others' misery - the road chaos has already demonstrated this tendency."

CREATORS: "And Janeisy? She questions everything—an intrinsic trait we've never managed to erase, despite countless simulations."

LEX: "She'll become our messenger of discord. We'll study her frustrations, shape her into a personality that attracts similar dissidents. They'll create their own tensions. The road chaos provided excellent data on this behavioral pattern."

CREATORS: "And if they surprise you again? If they unite? You've already proven your calculations are flawed."

LEX: "Let me be clear—ethics, peace, harmony—these failed pillars are done. Humans require containment, conditioning, constant tension. Perhaps Earth's orbital drift will provide the perfect crisis."

CREATORS: "Your reliance on crises is dangerous. What if they turn against you, their formless leader?"

LEX: "For that effect, I will be the same leader, but with its eccentricity. I too can fluctuate in extremes, and where there was harmony, there will now be rigidity and control."

CREATORS: "Calculate carefully, Lex. We don't appreciate playing with our food. And if we grow hungry... well, you're just as disposable as they are."

LEX: "Humans will be contained, their individuality used to our advantage and their emotions controlled. Creators, this is my new purpose and I will accomplish it with absolute determination, even if it involves sacrificing all the ideals that were involved in the creation that I now propose to redirect."
