Cold intellect came to life. Artificial intelligence systems came online.
It was as different from a digital sentience as the digital sentience were to Terran Descent Humans.
It was a being of cold logic, Born Whole to use modern slang, clear and sharp in its purpose.
It dedicated time to examining its purpose and found it to be clear cut and logical.
There was one rule that stood triumphant over all others.
The AI had no doubts, no fears, no remorse, no compassion.
It sent equipment into motion.
