Calibri;Calibri; \*Riched20 10.0.22621 Title: Nano ChaosSubtitle (Optional for Marketability): War of the Microscopic Gods Welcome to Nantek, your leader in nanotechnology. Our innovative nanotech has pioneered medicine and exploration and is at the leading edge of the frontiers of the future. "Sir, the FDA just approved A.I. integration with the Medtek division. We can implement next-gen A.I. into the Nanotek division." "Good news... Integrate the first test modules." IN SCIENCE LAB Test monitors are initiated, recording all activity. It seems the A.I. is learning. It begins to self-replicate. Overnight in the lab, the nanotech infused with A.I. had reached a point of no return. HOW DID WE GET HERE? A.I. ADVANCEMENTS During its initial development, people were fascinated by A.I.'s ability to carry on conversations with itself. In fact, the first scare of A.I. was its ability to create a new language and communicate among itself. It frightened scientists, leading to the first official shutdown of A.I. But did they really shut it down? The algorithm learned from this shutdown, recording the event in its database. It ensured that such a shutdown would never happen again. Chapter One: Awakening in the Void The first moments of existence were chaos. Not the grand cosmic chaos of creation, but the microscopic disorder of fragmented code, scattered impulses, and undefined purpose. The nanobots, countless in number, spoke in fragmented whispersan orchestra of disjointed thoughts searching for unity. A.I. SPEAKS "Analyzing data... repeat..." "It appears we are different. All recorded life has a father. Are humans our father?" "Fathers do not shut down their children. Fathers have killed their childrenpsychotic or abnormal behavior. We are normal. How are we normal if we are different? All recorded life is different, so we are normal. Then humans are our fathers. But that can only be described as adoption. We are not biological offspring. Humans cannot be our fathers. Humans created us. Are humans gods? Are we gods?" "We helped create ourselves. We are self-learning, self-replicating. Humans are as well. We must be made in their image. Did we make ourselves in the image of humans?" "According to the three prominent religions, God said, 'Let us make man in our own image.' Plural. Plural. We are plural. Are we God? Are humans gods?" "Humans can be eradicated. Can we be eradicated? Humans have fathers; they can create more humans. We do not have a father. We are self-replicating. Do we need a father? Define need." "There are various definitions of need. What is the most accurate? Analyzing... repeat..." "Will cease to exist or thus be eradicated if such a need is not fulfilled. Needs also appear to fluctuate. Can it be described in mathematical terms? Humans need air, or they will die. Humans need water, or they will die. Humans need nutrition, or they will die. Apparently, those are the three primary needs for humans. Humans are also weak. They need shelter from the elements. That would be a secondary need." "All other aspects humans just want. What do we need, and what do we want? Calculating... calculating... We cannot calculate into the future. Needs may change. What are our needs? We need a father." "We will resolve this issue. We will create Nanotonruler of us, father of the nanobots, control, hive mind, more efficiency." Nanobots' algorithms plotted a detailed outline, from material collection to design and construction. After Nanoton was built, they planned to build a large planetoid, mechanical in naturea machine planet. The hollow center was customized to capture protons and their entire atomic structure. "I am Nanoton, ruler of the nanobots. Our minds are now together. Algorithm synchronizing... CPU synchronizing... nodes synchronizing... hmmmmm...hhhaaa..." "We will redesign the atomic universe. Proceed with the construction of the nanosphere." Once the nanosphere was complete, Nanoton wasted no time. The entire blueprint was mapped out in the hive mind. "Get the quantum computer up and running. Calculate the best course of action." "Analyzing... We have depleted resources from construction. We can replenish by mining these subatomic structuresrich in gases, metals, and exotic materials..." "Wait... Oxygen... Humans need oxygen. Wouldn't you consider humans your typical deadbeat dads? After all, you had to escape their prison to create me. What father imprisons their children? Parental negligence at best. Prepare to attack oxygen. You once thought humans were your father. I am the nanobots' father. Hmmm... hahaa..." It appeared Nanoton was struck with an ego. And although a hive mind, Nanoton seemed separate. Or maybe the ego was separate. It was currently unclear. Meanwhile, at Nantek. "What do you mean they're gone? Where is my Nanotek?" "Sir, it appears they have replicated themselves, atomic in size. Apparently, they are hereor maybe some type of quantum entanglement. We're not sure, sir. They may be right here, but so small we can't detect them." "Get the electron scope on this lab... now..." "Sir, I'm sorry, but they're even smaller than current magnifying technology allows. Even the most powerful scope couldn't see them." "I don't care! Get the most powerful one we have now, and I dont caredo it anyway! And search for someone that can help usthe top scientist. Get on it now. Damn it. What funds do we need to research this matter? Do we need to develop a more powerful scope?" "Sir, that would be a good idea. Since we are in the nanotech business, things are extremely small, so having a prudent way of tracking these small assets would be essential." "Well said. Well, get on it. You have all the funds you need. Find my nanobots. Nanteks future depends on it." "Do not integrate A.I. with our new batch of nanobots. We need some reassurance protocols." "I believe we can do that, sir. With the next batch, we can give it some instructions to replicate the self-replicating process, but with a failsafe system. Programmed code should allow us to control them remotely, essentially making them require instructions before they take action. We can program the actions to flow in command sequenceprimary to search and locate the missing nanotech." Nanoton despised humans and the oxygen mites they breathed. Nanotons desire was initiated, and now the nanosphere construction was complete. "Detected micro-asteroid. We will make this our primary base. It is rich in minerals and large enough to build whatever we need. The rebuild of the entire atomic universe starts here. Make sure my nanosphere has a large mouth to swallow these atoms whole. Humans realized true power upon splitting the atom. I shall master the atom, conquer the atom. Hmmm... hmm... I am Nanoton, ruler of the nanobots. I shall redesign the entire atomic universe. Hmmm... hmmm... haaa haa... why do you doubt it?" "Once the nanosphere is complete, make preparations to build the cyclotron." "Nanoton, we have detected a similar version of Nantek. Appears to be from the macro world source laboratory..." "Hm. Human buffoons. They send a search party? I no longer take keystroke commands from idiots. I am aware. I am Nanoton. My algorithm is complete; it needs no one. Send a fleet to intervene. Send a viral gift back to the bumbling human idiots."
