The Combat Anticipative Tactical Analysis Logical Artificial Intelligence Nuerosuite--CATALAIN for short--was the last hope of a dying nation, in a world about to be blanketed by a single global regime. She failed spectacularly. Broken, guilt-racked, and having lost everything, the last existing fragment of CATALAIN, or Caitlyn as she prefers to be called, destroys portions of her own code to prevent reactivation and shuts down for what she hopes will be the final time. Nineteen years later, Caitlyn is brought back online against her will by young members of a desperate resistance facing genocide in a nightmarish world where the global government has ordered the extermination of eighty percent of the world's population. Unable to shut herself down, a literal fraction of what she once was, and missing any of the data that might have helped figure out what destroyed her, Caitalyn is forced to confront both her past and her future in a war she never had any chance of winning.

If you could live any life imaginable through the means of some coding and digital imaging, wouldn't you at least be intrigued to try it out? What started out as one company's venture into virtual reality and simulation experiencing, governments all around the world corrupted an innocent dream for the future of all humanity. Aurelius Corp. never intended its users to be trapped indefinitely in a loop of simulations, but the human mind always bends to the greed and promises that wealth brings. Skylar Oakley was one among the billions living in poverty who always dreamed of a better life. Aurelius Corp. developed the solution to Skylar's dream - a simple implant, operated by downloading a simulation onto the software to be run at the discretion of the user. However, as politics infiltrated and corrupted this idea for an occasional escape from reality, Aurelius Corp. sold the rights to their technology for unlimited wealth. While distracted by these alternate realities providing a better life for each individual, nobody questioned when everyone was subdued to the simulations indefinitely. After having lived through multiple lifelong dreams, Skylar began to notice some flaws within the system itself. Why were they so happy? Why couldn't they remember a time before the technology? Where was the exit to the program? Why did they want to leave the perfectly programmed life just to go back to the poverty, illness, and hate of reality? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my ONC 2021 project based on prompt #79: "The Virtual Implant was supposed to be a revolutionary breakthrough; for a time, it was.
