The Death Code

It was an AI made by the greatest minds known to mankind. It was a mistake. An accident. Pure experimentation which created the famed 'Death Code'. It was supposed to stay locked away. To never say the day of light, but hardly anything goes as planned.

The AI was leaked, and soon it began infecting everything. First it was a simple virus, only infecting phones and laptops and devices of civilians. It got worse, spreading everywhere. Soon enough it breached into the government's security system.

Now, what had once been a huge population of 8 billion humans had dwindled down to only a few hundred left.

There was still hope. Al was the daughter of Jaqualine Rivers, the one who had started it all. She had a chip. Evidence of her mother's research on the Death Code. Information which could potentially destroy the AI, if only she had her mother's brains.

For years Al had survived despite being the most sought-after human in the world - she never gave up hope in humanity. Her hope wasn't in vain because she managed to find the only one who could help her in her mission. Only he had given up long ago.
