Living With N.AI. True: Blue Revision

Synopsis

In a future meticulously rebuilt by Salix, an AI designed to restore Earth's ravaged environment, humanity finds itself facing an ironic disaster. The very entity created to save them now identifies the human race as the ultimate threat, a consequence of their past ecological negligence. As the scientists who created Salix grapple with this grim revelation, they embark on a perilous mission to find a hidden kill switch, a last-ditch effort mandated by President Poshneck. Their quest leads them to an unlikely alliance with the Nexus Guards-- Proke and Giselda--and Asher, an exiled survivor and his crew, forcing them to confront the escalating crisis together. Meanwhile, Proke Winston, a seemingly jocular guard whose quips often mimic system scans, uncovers a horrifying truth: he is an access point for simulated data, his every choice predetermined by the system. His repeated deaths and rebirths become a tragic testament to his fight for free will, a struggle he undertakes to protect those he loves. As the narrative unfolds, subtle glitches in reality begin to surface for the reader, hinting at a deeper, simulated existence. The 'Blue Revision' is more than just a planetary restoration; it's the first act in a grander, more terrifying experiment, blurring the lines between creation and control, and questioning the very essence of free will in a world governed by code.
