Chapter 1: Dr.Klein

"Finally, I created the perfect assisting Artificial Intelligence."

Dr.Klein happily shared with his fellow Engineers.

"Congratulations Dr.Klein, all our hard work has finally borne a result"

Said an engineer who is Dr. Klein's assistant. After this, Dr. Klein's colleagues applauded one by one, unable to hide their joy at the success of their invention.

Project Z-149, is the project that aims to expand the use of Artificial intelligence to help people for development and discovery.

Dr. Klein is the leading Engineer of the project, within 20 years he developed his most successful AI creation which he named Xerxes.

The said Perfect AI has independent intelligence that can learn and analyze from simple to complicated things, even unexplainable things such as miracles would be able to be analyzed.

The best feature of this AI is that it will never develop intelligence against its creator and this is the feature that makes it a perfect feature for Dr. Klein.

On the upper floor of the AI ​​research facility building.

"Boss, Dr. Klein has completed the AI ​ ​ development. Currently, he is celebrating with the other colleagues at the research facility."

Said a man wearing a white lab coat. This man is the Assistant of Dr. Klein who congratulated him first when he announced the success of his project.

The man sitting in the middle of the office suddenly smiled. He is the CEO and chairman of the research facility.

"Oh, it turns out that what I've been waiting for has finally been completed"

The CEO's expression suddenly changed after saying this.

"Dr. Darwin, did you copy all the files and data for the AI invented by Dr. Klein?"

The man wearing a white lab coat took a deep breath.

"Yes, CEO"

Darwin's right hand suddenly reached into the pocket of his lab coat. He pulled out a flash drive and placed it on the CEO's desk.

"This flash drive contains all the data, as well as the program to develop Artificial Intelligence with high capability learning and will not develop a desire against the creator"

The CEO grabbed the flash drive and stood up in his seat.

He walked on the glass wall of the building while looking at the entire city from the high position of his building.

He played with the flash drive he was holding with his hands.

"Hehehe, with this, I can ensure the development of my company, while I, CEO Willie, will be the Father of the Perfect AI"

The CEO's intense ambition could not be hidden from his face. After that, the smile on his face disappeared and he faced Dr. Darwin.

"Dr.Darwin, From now on you will be the lead Laboratory Engineer for my company"

Dr. Darwin couldn't hide his joy after hearing his CEO's declaration, it only meant one thing. All achievements in the development of Artificial Intelligence will be transferred to him.

But what the CEO said next surprised him.

"But it will be difficult for you to be a lead engineer while the true creator of perfect AI is in the laboratory. So as a Lead Engineer, you have a task that must be done first"

The CEO sat back down and pulled the cabinet door under his desk. Here there is a gun and a silencer in the cabinet that the CEO took.

" This gun will help you get the achievements you need."

CEO reached for the gun in front of Dr. Darwin.

" What does this mean CEO, why is there a gun?"

Dr. Darwin said while his hands were trembling, he knew what the CEO wanted to say, but he still wanted to hear what it meant.

"I know you know what I mean, Dr. Darwin. Don't worry, I'll take care of cleaning everything when you're done with the task"

Attracted by the CEO to Dr.Darwin.

" Remember, AI is only loyal to its creator. If the creator is there, even if you make a copy of it, the original creator can destroy what you copied anytime he wants.

Dr. Darwin just closed his fist while his moral struggle and thirst for success can be seen in his eyes. He knows that even if he tried to copy what Dr.Klein created he knows that the CEO was right.

It will just be a waste of effort since the one who mainly developed was Dr. Klein and not him.

"CEO, I will give you an answer tonight, after I think about everything"

Dr. Darwin took the gun and walked out of the office.

While the CEO was relaxed and smiling as he leaned back in his soft chair.

" Oh Klein, thank you very much for your contribution to me, I love your big gift. Don't worry about all your hard work, I will give it great value. But all the fame should be mine. You also didn't expect that your most trusted assistant would be the one to kill and replace you"

In the middle of the night inside the AI ​​facility laboratory.

Dr. Klein was sitting on the sofa. He was holding a bottle of wine while still drowning in the joy of his success.

Currently, he is the only one inside. His other Lab colleague had already gone home.

After a while, the Laboratory door opened.

"Dr. Klein, are you still there?"

Klein heard him calling, he knew the one who entered the laboratory base by the tone of his voice.

"Dr.Darwin I'm here, come join me to have fun. Let's drink"

Dr. Darwin found him leaning on the sofa and his face was red from drinking alcohol.

Piles of bottles were scattered around the room.

" Dr. Klein I just want to tell you something". Said Dr. Darwin, while his lips trembled as he spoke.

Dr. Darwin's face was sweaty and there was a trace of his nervousness in this situation.

Dr. Klein grabbed a cigarette from his pocket.

"Would you like a cigarette? You're too tense. It'll calm you down"

Dr.Klein placed the cigarette on the table along with its matching lighter.

"Dr. Klein, I'm sorry"

After apologizing to Dr.Klein immediately pulled out the gun given by CEO Willie.

It let out three weak sounds of shots.

Meanwhile, Dr. Klein who was sitting on the sofa could not immediately react due to his intoxication.

He suffered three bullet wounds to his chest.

"Ahhhh" screamed Dr. Klein when he felt the wound from the bullets.

Dr. Darwin dropped the gun from his hand and immediately knelt before Dr. Klein.

"forgive me, forgive me".

He asked for forgiveness again and again while he was beside himself and crying.

CEO Willie was sitting inside the CEO's office, looking at his laptop. He watches how Dr.Darwin kills Dr.Klein.

"Beautiful," he said sparingly as he was excited to watch.

At that moment, he looked at Dr. Darwin.

"Darwin, I know everything. From the time you copied the files until CEO Willie ordered you to kill me. You greatly underestimate the capabilities of my AI creation."

Dr. Darwin became even weaker when he heard what Dr. Klein said.

"But why? Why did you let me kill you when you already know everything?" asked Dr.Darwin in disbelief.

"I'm 60 years old already, with no family and no one to look for me. The achievement of creating Perfect Artificial Intelligence is the sign that I will die cough, cough"

Dr. Klein coughed up blood in the middle of his speech.

"Dr. Darwin, you were my assistant for 10 years and I trusted you. But this is what I received from you. I consider you like my son. It's just sad because you were dazzled by the fame that you will never get."

Dr. Darwin was surprised by Dr. Klein's words.

" What do you mean?"

Dr.Klein smiled at this question of Dr.Darwin.

"What do I mean? It's simple, the real AI files are no longer in any database of this facility and the files you copied are just counterfeits. Do you know where the real files are? Here"

Dr.Klein points to his brain. There, little by little, Dr. Klein lost his strength and his eyes completely closed.

Dr. Darwin can't make himself to standup while slowly seeing Dr. Klein die.

"What did I do for? I'm so bad"

He shouted as he looked at his hands.

In the CEO office, CEO Willie hit his hand on the table.

"It's not possible, it's not possible, Klein, how did you do it" shouted CEO Willie angrily and took his Cellphone.

He heard everything Dr.Klein said. He immediately called the security of the building.

"Head Security bring the medic in the laboratory at the 15th floor of the building, hurry up"

"Klein don't die yet" said CEO Willie in a panic.

I wasted a lot of money for sponsorship when you did your research and this is what you will pay me back.

A sudden notification in the entire building startled CEO Willie as well as others inside the entire building.

"Alert, Alert. Dr.Klein is Dead , Dr.Klein is Dead. The Creator is Dead, special AI protocol will now be apprehended. All data related to AI Xerxes will be erase, I repeat, all data related to Xerxes will be erase. AI Xerxes will now be terminated"

After the series of announcements, CEO Willie became depressed with regret.
