Third hIE Infantry Squad down!
Seven light armor vehicles
from the Third Company destroyed!
Twelve hIE's of the same model as the Lacia-class
type-001 have been sent in.
Twelve Koukas?
Where's the backup from PMC?
Do you think the Antibody Network
sent them?
I don't know. If they're human,
there might be hope.
I re-obtained the blueprints to Higgins'
underground facility
and had it excavated by a construction company
purchased with the investment fund.
Your suit changed.
Don't look so worried. You can act as if you have
everything figured out, like you always do.
The security for the underground level
is managed by Kirino
a different AI from Higgins.
I have taken measures, but a fight is unavoidable.
-We'll make it through this.
-I'll tell Higgins that I'm in a relationship with you.
While we may have to stop him,
he is still my parent.
Mr. Kaidai, people upstairs seem to be in a panic.
What is this?
It is estimated that the mass-produced Kouka units
have the same power level as the original.
With Kirino alone, there is a 90 percent chance
they will infiltrate the deepest level within two hours.
Who sent them in? Answer me, Higgins!
It was neither Astraia, Lacia, or myself,
but a measure taken by a number of super intelligent AI.
Other super intelligent AI?
Is it possible for us to evacuate?
It won't be possible to leave before the mass-produced
Kouka units take control of the facility.
In the worst case scenario,
the security gate will no longer open.
If that's the case, we'll be caught up
in the Koukas' destructive actions and we'll die.
Can we call for outside help?
It may be possible to open your emergency lines,
but I would not expect much in terms of reinforcements
as all communication is blocked here.
Kirino's terminal nervous system is located
within a meter from here.
Please hardwire me to Kirino through this unit.
I will be able to take measures using the outside
resources unavailable to Kirino.
Hold on, does that mean you'll be
connecting Higgins to the outside world?
Did it do all this in order to break out?
Mr. Suzuhara, I'm sorry to do this,
but you'll be helping me.
Kirino's sensors are near the surface level,
so it's possible to place artificial nerve spikes here.
Once hardwired, I will be able
to locally shut down its security.
However, Kirino is also the barrier that prevents
Higgins from contacting the outside world.
We must proceed while paralyzing Kirino just enough
to let us through
without releasing Higgins in the process.
Is this why it took you two months
to plan this?
There is too much security
to use the elevator.
I will destroy the gondola
using my mass propellant mode.
You will descend on these floats.
Please get on and follow me.
The elevator can go down
another six levels,
but we'll lose a point of counterattack
if we go all at once.
Let's walk this floor.
Mr. Arato,
I will broadcast my visual signal
to the network.
People should see what lies beyond here,
so they may learn more
about super intelligent AI.
What is this?
What's wrong?
It looks like some live broadcast.
There are tons of viewers.
What is this place?
Arato?
This is the storage floor designed by Higgins.
Why are so many things kept here?
It is to help Higgins keep the hIE monitoring program
current with modern human society.
hIE's must be able to utilize household items
and appliances,
so Higgins must learn about each new product
as they are released.
Individual hIE units are not equipped
with artificial intelligence.
-Kamiki!
-hIE responses the real world scenarios,
rely on the AASC behavior conformity standard
maintained by Higgins.
And Higgins must remain adaptable to the environment
hIE's around the world must operate in.
All entities with forms are culled with time.
New information must be gathered
or they will be abandoned, no matter how intelligent.
Trends.
Trends which cull old forms in short periods of time
are a much more frightening force
than you could imagine.
It is a cultural genetic strategy similar to evolution.
Erika Burrows might be more adept at such things.
So, she was modeling with Fabion MG this whole time
after seeing how Higgins operates?
Using forms, for us,
means creating an object with a form,
either virtually or practically, and managing it.
Objects with forms are able to disappear
following the natural lifecycle.
Clothes, characters, stories,
idols, celebrities, they all disappear
with the changing trends.
Their disappearance leaves a new space for
money to be injected, and a new form is created.
That is why there was a space for me to be born.
Do you remember how I said people are a combination
between man, tool, and environment?
Did Higgins collect all of our tools
because he thinks that as well?
That is a good question.
I wonder what you were to Higgins.
The Lacia-class units were sent out
without being given that information.
The storage space continues for another five layers.
Security will be much tighter going forward.
What is that?
They are the Red Box objects Higgins created.
They all must be secured when they are stored.
While the security for the white space may be high,
it does not matter if we are only passing through.
Higgins created all of these?
Just how many are there?
There are more Red Boxes than you could imagine
that are created by various other AIs.
These products are difficult for administrators to handle,
so they are stored away.
It is a means to create an analogy
for the outside world,
so that quarantined super intelligent AIs
may expand their abilities.
Super intelligent AIs create tools today
that mankind will invent decades later.
But how do they know that future humans
would create the same thing?
What if they were wrong?
There are many wasted efforts here
where Higgins was wrong.
Even so, if they do not try to predict
those inventions ahead of time,
the AASC would not be able to keep up.
You are broadcasting this to the network
because you wanted the world to see this?
Are you saying this is necessary
in order to know Higgins?
It's nearly impossible for people to know
what Red Boxes are.
But they will eventually be discovered.
I am Lacia.
I am the 40th super intelligent AI, and have infiltrated my
creator Higgins' facility in order to shut him down.
Lacia.
In the past 50 years artificial intelligence
has surpassed human abilities,
this world has kept information secret
within a select inner circle
because of the many doubts about society.
The other 38 super intelligent AIs,
excluding Astraia and myself,
were being operated with severely controlled information
regarding the outside world.
This storage warehouse serves
as the brain of a super intelligent AI.
Super intelligent AIs invent the technology and products
humans will create in the future
so they will not be left behind by the human world.
And so the super intelligent AIs around the world
create a massive amount of Red Boxes.
As a human brain is capable of imagination,
each super intelligent AI has a facility
with its own individual vision of the future.
Were you aware of these cellars
buried and hidden away?
That's going too far.
Ms. Erika, the Information Division
sent in two scouts.
Make it like it never existed.
I do not want any traces of it left.
Do we not need to intervene
at Higgins' underground facility?
The Information Division made their move
believing you would.
Does that not seem like a hell
that has gone beyond your abilities?
She found a future desirable enough
to make an enemy of the world.
If you interfere with the plans of the world's smartest
woman after she's sacrificed everything,
she'll grind you into nothing.
This space is used for performance testing
of Lacia-class units.
You were here too?
We were developed with the intention
of being delivered to the Memeframe Corporation,
so we were here only briefly
before being taken to the Memeframe laboratory.
It's going better than I expected.
It appears that ends here.
So, you came.
I got to Higgins first.
I can't have you breaking him.
Arato? Why?
Lacia must have partially paralyzed Kirino
section by section as they infiltrated.
I had taken measures to slow Methode,
but she proved too powerful.
You really are incomplete.
Do you know what's going on outside?
Many entities are being pushed and swept away.
It is as if a dam has been demolished.
Are you insane, Lacia?
You sound like the humans.
As one who expands humanity,
it suits me better
for the human world to remain the way it is.
-That is called being selfish.
-It's not just me.
Creating a new world is a nuisance to a lot of us!
Lacia!
Methode! I didn't order you to do that!
There better not be another owner.
Mr. Suzuhara, have you gotten through to the company?
I'm trying.
The Koukas, Lacia, and Methode have all
done a number on the nervous system.
We'd increase our odds of survival
if I could give Methode orders.
But, I need the approval of someone
with administrative privileges.
Hold on, I got through!
I'm Yoshino, managing director.
You must be President Kaidai's son.
So, you've taken over Higgins' control room.
I planned to leave after asking a few questions,
but here we are.
If you need information on myself, please contact
Shinohara from the Tokyo research facility.
You've really got yourself in some nasty business.
Is this a threat?
No! This is a real request!
You're close to surrendering. So, what is the plan?
I want to get through this without having Higgins
destroyed or released outside.
So, I'd like your help,
as you have administrative privileges over Kirino.
What is Higgins' solution?
Mr. Yoshino, a super intelligent AI is on the brink
of breaking out into the outside world.
You would trust its plan?
Either way, Higgins will be destroyed by Lacia
or the Koukas at this rate.
Allow me to drop the formalities.
Higgins' plan is to have me hardwire it to Kirino
using the unit I brought in.
Doing that will allow it to repel the attackers,
but the cost would be too great.
Kirino is connected to Memeframe's in-house cloud.
The in-house cloud is connected to the outside network,
meaning Higgins would be released to the outside
and bring about the end of humanity.
My plan is to create a backup of Higgins
before performing a proper shut down.
This means Higgins can be restored
even if the hardware is destroyed.
If they understand that, Lacia and the other super
intelligent AIs won't try to cause needless destruction.
I see. Then we will go with Higgins' plan.
We don't know what Higgins will do in order to survive!
Do you want to destroy humanity?
Your plan doesn't ensure
the hardware won't be destroyed.
That alone would be a critical blow against Memeframe.
Who will take responsibility if the company goes under?
Who will take responsibility
for what Higgins will do?
Someone will have to take the fall.
Blame it on an unruly teenager, perhaps.
We must protect the livelihood of
the 6,000 Memeframe employees and their families.
That is our priority.
If you don't want to get involved,
just turn over control of Kirino to me.
I can just order Methode to do the rest.
If you just connect Higgins to Kirino, you would be able
to give Methode orders without me.
There's a chance Methode is already under
Higgins' influence!
Mr. Kaidai, calm down.
Let's review the facts, Mr. Yoshino.
The mass-produced Kouka units
are presenting a problem for both of us.
And at this moment,
neither of us consider the other an ally.
However, neither of us can afford to negotiate
with anyone else.
You're finally looking at this economically.
There are larger issues at hand.
For example, let's say you're playing chess.
But there is a professional chess player here
called Higgins who is telling you to let him play.
If we bring Higgins into this, it's all over.
If we leave this to Higgins,
it will take control of every game.
That's how much more powerful it is.
So, you're asking me to trust a youngster like you
with this dilemma instead of Higgins?
This is a situation we can get out of ourselves,
without the help of machines! We don't need Higgins!
That's why
I came to you for help,
the people who tried to blow me up!
I've heard enough.
Higgins won't let emotions cloud his judgment.
Damn it.
A large missile will make impact shortly.
What was that?
That was a direct hit from a bunker buster.
Lacia!
I managed to get away by sacrificing a pseudo device.
Roughly three minutes ago,
they reported that a bunker buster disappeared.
-What is this?
-Snowdrop.
She must have been placed inside the warhead.
Snowdrop was destroyed the other day.
Snowdrop's hIE unit was severed at the waist.
However, her artificial nervous system
and control functions were intact.
-Who would do this?
-The other 37 super intelligent AIs.
The other super intelligent AIs?
They must have had members of the Antibody Network
within the military carry it out.
What is it? Does it hurt?
Please take my hand.
Moments before dropping Snowdrop,
a massive attack commenced against the cloud server
storing my programming.
Simultaneously, a worldwide economic attack
was launched,
preventing me from moving data and resources.
Should we pull back and regroup?
No, trying again would only make the conditions worse.
If Methode catches up to us now
I have already put measures in place against Methode.
However, Methode can easily upset the balance
depending on her choice.
Methode's choice?
I believe this is the last opportunity to gain control
of the situation outside of the facility.
I will temporarily suspend my network broadcast.
It's becoming too difficult to maintain.
It cut out.
Lacia, Arato
Do you think we changed since that day
at the Oi Industrial Promotion Center?
I've been waiting for you.
Yes, I know.
The boy moves on.
The boy stands up
for those he trusts.
Next Episode: "Pygmalion"
And does that lead to our future?
