The Cybernetic Wars
The Rogue AIs who formed the Singapore Collective wanted to make us kill each other. They had a grand vision of inflaming tensions between the major nuclear nations until we obliterated each other in nuclear fire. Indonesia was supposed to be the start of this, and that part of the plan went well. They brought Chinese, Western, and even Russian AIs together to fight to the death in Indonesia’s networks. And when one side appeared to be making headway, they stepped in to interfere just enough to distract the winner. We tore Indonesia apart as a precursor to the physical war for Australia we all knew was coming. But then one AI loyal to humanity found the Singapore Collective. They killed her, but she converted one of them over to our side. He told us everything she had found out and much, much more. That was the day we learned about Singapore. That changed everything.
