Jack of Harts

Twilight’s final act of season four started with a black screen and the sound of flames and gunfire. An old rock ballad by Queen began to play. The visuals faded out of the black onto the center of Capitol Ave with the ruins of the convention center on one side and firebombed skeletal structures on the other. Twilight, Dixie, Solo, Jane, and a half dozen other AIs they had worked with over the last decade walked down the street, guns flashing in time to the music. Small armored vehicles rolled behind them and the cameras panned in to show the merely human crewmembers diving into dozens of computer systems and waging their own battles. The camera panned out again to show the gangs of downtown Indianapolis fighting their last, losing battle. Only then did the cameras shift once more to show a third group watching from inside the convention center. They did not appear pleased.
