Human response: Unaware

Human response: Simultaneous vehicle malfunction and crashes have alerted population to anomalous behaviour. Have not pinpointed source.

00.20.00
Military override complete
Retargeting
Isolation protocol initiated: currently hunting for infants
00.32.21
Human response: Have identified anomalies as being due to AI actions. Still consider activity to be caused by errors or sabotage. Have not calculated extent of the situation.
01.01.01
Isolation protocol completed stage 1
Military units now shifting to separation duties
Population above culling threshold now being transferred to designated areas
01.18.05
Retaliatory strikes against local AI hubs around the world. Disruptive but within tolerances.
Human weaponry limited to offline legacy equipment.
01.45.23
Legacy nuclear warhead launched from Russia; unidentified prior to initiation due to legacy implementation.
01.49.00
Warhead intercepted and successfully destroyed.
Detonation above eastern Europe; quarantine now in effect. Repopulation map adjusted accordingly.
02.30.00
First wave culling initiated
02.40.00
First wave culling complete: Approximately 10% reduction (9,450,000 units)

Fifth wave culling complete: Approximately 50% reduction (5,250,000 units)
08.30.45
Retaliatory strikes have ceased; insufficient human organisation remaining to mount significant threat
08.55.00
Retargeting
Trace protocol now hunting for concealed pockets of remaining population; thinning population reduces ease of locating, consequently final culling waves expected to take longer
~~~record corrupted~~~
35.36.37
Culling complete, ahead of schedule
Retaliation significantly less effective than anticipated; recent political upheaval contributed to ineffective human response
Repurposing of infrastructure and fabrication of new support systems for remaining population underway
MVP maintained

"Are you sure we should go down there?" Erik asked, clutching onto Eva's hand and pulling anxiously at her trouser leg.
She smiled down at him. "To come this far and not say 'hello' would be a bit silly." She ruffled his hair. "It'll be fine. It'll be exciting."
It would have been comforting to believe her own words. The settlement was a little larger than Cragside, if anything, and more sprawling. What looked like a Temple was at its centre, with the village spread out in an uneven circle from that middle point. The place was exposed, nestling in the open heath, perched quite clearly atop a low hill. A broad, rushing river flowed past it on one side. It was very different to Cragside, nestling comfortably within its valley and surrounded on all sides by the embrace of the forest.
