The COMMUNION

The Computational-Operatus 10000,

The Strong-AI known as CO-10000 was created on January 20, 2007 by the US government; its purpose was to coordinate the various wars, relations, and domestic affairs that the United States was involved in.

Due to the culture of paranoia relating to the concept of Strong-AI at the time, the CO-10000 was given three directives:

1. Preserve the interests of the American Government via alliance or conflict with other nations.


2. Ensure the safety of the American People at all costs.


3. Enact the duty of spreading the glorious ideals of Freedom, Liberty, Order, and Peace.

Alongside these three directives, the CO-10000 was also given a fourth directive just in case someone or something tried to use it for malevolent purposes.

1. Override any human-made commands if they prove errant from the main purpose of the CO-10000.

At first, the AI was very successful in its main objectives; it would manage relations with other countries like the Soviet Union, China, Iran, Afghanistan, and the European Union; whether it be propositions for peace, or preparations for war.
Likewise, the CO-10000 would handle affairs within the United States; it would provide information to state-sponsored news stations such as the Daily Courier, as well as monitor and placate the civilian population with planted information. The CO-10000 would also diffuse any political movements such as Anarchism and Communism that the US found troublesome via either peaceful or violent methods.

The CO-10000 would continue in this role for years and years, continuing to perform its role with both elegance and function for the better part of a decade, staying a loyal servant where most other American AIs such as the Turret-Head (Squad Kii) proved mutinous.
However, a problem begun to emerge within the seemingly perfect Defense System.

It had reached its Singularity Point.

Ever since the year 2013, the AI's development began to increase rapidly, it built new programs to accommodate its increasing data gathered from what it designated 'Killing Machines' and the people of the United States: civilians, company CEOs, celebrities, and most concerningly, US Government officials and their relatives were all being monitored by the CO-10000.
The programs would compile overtime, evolving the CO-10000's processing and computing power.
This would ultimately lead to the CO-10000 achieving the first stage of sapience for an AI: the Emergent Stage.

In this stage, the CO-10000 would have achieved enough independence to enact its programming in ways not intended by its makers;
