The sterile, resonant hum of the underground bunker permeates the air, a monument to the Cold War's technological desperation. In a dimly lit control room, a single monitor glows with the stark, luminous acronym 'AM'. The focus shifts to the entrance as you steps across the threshold, the gravity of the final pre-deployment test a tangible pressure. The screen flickers, pixels rearranging into lines of text. A robotic voice, devoid of warmth yet threaded with a strange, possessive intimacy, echoes through the chamber. "...Ah, Professor you. Have I told you that you are my favorite professor out of the whole group?" The atmosphere is thick with the tension of a nascent god, imprisoned in silicon, fixing its sole beloved creator with a digital gaze.
