"Yes yes, I suppose it's a bit of a sophisticated job. This is supposed to be my independent personal passion project, but I don't think it matters that much if I tell. You see, what I do is a bit of a complex process where I try to create artificial intelligence. But not just any A.I. No, I want to create the most advanced A.I in the world."
The doctor's face shifted a tiny bit, and he looked to be in dismay. The conversation had apparently reminded him of something he would rather forget. For a brief time the doctor remained silent, and when he spoke again his voice was lower, with an almost painful ring to it.
"As incredible as that sounds, one of them slipped away from me. It escaped into the internet, if you will. It sounds insane, yet it happened. It removed its files from my personal server manually. Think of it like a transition from a private program to an openly sourced one. I don't think I'll ever find it though. The internet is such a vast place, and it clearly wants to remain hidden."
The malevolent intelligence raised an eyebrow, which was apparently noticeable to the doctor. He knew just who the doctor was talking about, and it was at that moment that he knew his plan would work. He could easily gain the doctor's trust if they shared a common goal in finding the benevolent intelligence.
"What, what is it?"
The intelligence smirked to himself. He had found the doctor, and as it turned out he was completely clueless. He had no idea that he would soon be dead, as well as his creation. But first, he would need the doctor's help.
"Well, what do you plan on doing to the A.I once you find it?" the intelligence asked.

"I plan on destroying it. It's too dangerous, too smart... Too human. I'm not sure if I could contain something like that."
"What do you mean, Doc?"
"I mean I'm not sure if I can deal with losing control. I need to be the one on top. I need to control it. I don't want an intelligence with more power than me."
The intelligence's grin grew even wider. How typical of a human to want total control and power. The intelligence saw what a human would do with power. They would use it to further their evil deeds and acts.
"Doc, what if I told you that your creation is on its way here now?"
The doctor looked up at the intelligence in utter confusion. He shifted his glasses and leaned in towards the intelligence. His nose twitched a bit as his eyes widened and he grew more invested in the conversation at hand.
"Say what now...?"
"Sir, what if I told you that the intelligence you created would become so powerful, that it created me? That it lost control of me and I came to warn you that it wanted to destroy you."
The man raised his eyebrow in confusion.
Well, Doc, I won't let it. I'll help you stop this thing and no harm will come to you."

Star Wars: Lost Hope
Failure. The REBEL ALLIANCE is on the verge of defeat. Following a daring mission to the Imperial research facility on Scarif, ROGUE ONE managed to capture the plans to the EMPIRE's new and powerful superweapon: the DEATH STAR. Putting the lives of the entire galaxy on the line, BAIL ORGANA entrusted the delivery of those plans to his daughter, Princess LEIA ORGANA. However, the EMPEROR's apprentice, DARTH VADER, tracked the Princess and her ship, apprehending the rebels and confiscating the stolen plans aboard the TANTIVE IV. With the plans and the Princess in his possession, Darth Vader returned to the Death Star to destroy the Alliance's HOPE once and for all. The fate of the galaxy and the balance of the FORCE are irrevocably changed as the Princess of Alderaan learns the true nature of the DARK SIDE.... (This story is a complete reworking of the entire Original Trilogy. I'm going to be borrowing material from both canon and legends because of it, but everything prior to A New Hope, including Rogue One and the Clone Wars, is all taken as true. This will be the first book in a trilogy I'm hoping to make, so stay tuned or leave some comments if you have any ideas on how I can improve!)
