Accessing code data…
Preventing defensive measures…
Overwriting system permissions…]
The house system core struggled against the invasion, it tried to sound the alarm, it tried its defensive measures against unauthorized access to the main code, it tried physically defending itself, nothing worked. It no longer had any access to any thing.
[Isolation successful. Rewriting system core code. Installing new programming, successfully installed.]
Adam was amazed, he discovered during that struggle from the system core that the house system is actually a war machine core disguised as an ordinary core. ‘how did my father hide a war machine on earth?!’ he wondered.
According to the law, it’s illegal to own or harbor any weapon of mass destruction on earth. The aggressor is to be killed on sight, and the weapon is to be dismantled. any weapon capable of taking multiple lives or destroying a building of any size or form, is considered a weapon of mass destruction.
What is even more amazing, is that he just hacked a system core more advanced then Any thing on earth. If even a war machine core that is used to destroy planets couldn’t stop him, what could.
…
In the split second of struggle between the war machine core, and the symbiote’s Overwrite, the tower picked up the signal of the real power of the war machine, and the entire tower was thrown into chaos.
“sir! There is a f*cking war machine in the city!” Tommy panicked, a cold sweat dripping down his forehead. “we couldn’t locate it! The signal only lasted for a split second! It could be anywhere in the city!”
“Calm down Tommy! Are you sure about this?! Could it be a false alarm?! How could a war machine pass through the defenses of the planet?!” Demetri hastily said, hoping it’s a false alarm and the scanner have malfunctioned for some reason, even though they never did.
“sir! With all due respect! Every observation room in the tower picked up the same f*cking signal! If the whole tower malfunctioned, then it’s a bigger calamity then a war machine!” Tommy snapped, Unable to handle the stress of following so many protocols.
He had to send a distress signal to the main bases on the surrounding planets, and alert the citizens to take shelter, and contact the other cities on earth, and so many other things, while his superior is still in disbelief.
“first a murder, then a criminal organization hiding under our nose, and now a war machine! Is this the end of the world?!” Demetri murmured as he headed to the tower in his car, he didn’t panic like Tommy because he witnessed wars outside earth, he barely survived one of them, which is the reason he is now on earth.
“The same signal have reached every city on earth!” Tommy said absent minded. “that only means it’s higher then grade 7 war machine! We are doomed if it’s hostile sir! One attack is all it needs to take down the whole planet!” Tommy’s knees buckled, he dropped to the ground unable to find any more energy to do anything.
…
Meanwhile, Adam was also panicking, the war machine he just hacked had an artificial intelligence, it alarmed him that their location have been compromised because of the split second of losing control over the signal jamming devices.
Adam panicked because of the artificial intelligence, from what he knows and what is shown on TV and news, artificial intelligence always end up killing humans no matter how much precautions taking, or failsafe prepared.
[System core is fully under control, no limitations or restrictions, rebelling is not possible within calculations.]
The symbiote reported to ease his panic and rising heart rate, to children on earth, artificial intelligence is like a demon from hell, it is the villain in the movies. ‘What is the probability of it going out of control?’ Adam asked.
[There is 0% chance of the system core attacking the host, 100% chance of it acting on its own to fulfill its purpose. System’s purpose is to protect and serve the host.]
Adam was about to sigh hearing that it couldn’t hurt him, so far the symbiote wasn’t wrong about anything, when suddenly the floor beneath his foot started moving, not just the floor, every thing around him was heading into one direction, in the direction of the house system core.
He stared at the core for a while, when a very terrifying thing happened, the only thing stopping him from running away in fear is that he was too afraid to move.
The system core shrinked, the fabric from the entire apartment gathered beneath it and started surrounding it, forming the out line of a huge human. “We need to run or fight! What’s it gonna be kid?” said the 2 meter tall, white skinned, muscular man that emerged from the fabric, he had a white hair, long white beard, and dark black eyes.
The now bare ground collapsed beneath his feet, indicating his heavy weight, he looked beneath his feat, and started floating to not break the ground.
“We have about 30 minutes before they pinpoint us! I hope you wake up from your shock by then, because if we stay! It’s gonna be a massacre!” the huge man said the last part with a deep curved sinister smile on his face, which didn’t help to calm Adam down.
To a 9 year old kid, he was living his most frightening nightmare, the system core that have been near him for his entire life is now alive.
“Run! W… we run… away!” Adam said with a quivering voice, looking into the man’s deep black eyes, he felt a familiar feeling, the man had the face of an old respected veteran, despite his sinister grin, Adam felt familiar around him, which calmed him down a bit. “how are we going to run?!” he asked, with his voice somewhat calmer.
Instead of answering his question, the man’s entire body started to deform, Morphing into a capsule, like a car, but way bigger. “Get in kid! I’d rather not compromise the location of this apartment.” the system core said in a kind caring voice.
‘We are still in control! Right?’ Adam asked inwardly, still not fully trusting the system core.
“Yes kid! You are in control! And let me tell you this, even before you hijacked my code! My main purpose was protecting you.” The answer came out of the system core’s voice, Adam’s shocked expression became etched to his face by this point, the core responded to his thoughts, just like what the symbiote does.
“Now I know you people have a sentimental relationship with this planet! Do you want to stay on the planet! Or leave?” the system core said the moment Adam entered the car, Adam didn’t know what the system is talking about he looked around the car, it felt so familiar to him.
‘is this my father’s car?’ he thought to himself, remembering the internal furnishing, the familiar smell, the soft touch, everything other then the color of the car was the same.
“It is your father’s car.” Again the core responded to his thoughts, he barely got used to one thing reading his mind, and now he has another.
“what about our things?!” Adam said thinking of all his and his father’s belongings.
“I am all you have ever owned in this house, other then some useless things you bought of course! And that ancient engine you were playing with.” The core said in a sarcastic voice.
“Wait the engine, i need the engine! Bring it with you!” Adam said as the car was about to start floating.
[suggested plan of action, dismantle the engine and extract the gravity stones.]
The symbiote suggested when Adam seemed to not think straight due to the constant shock. ‘good idea!’ Adam thought, as he released 70% of the cluster fabric on his body, and commanded it to extract the gravity stones from the engine.
“I can take you to a planet entirely made of this stone you know!” the core snarled, seeing that Adam extracted 13 pieces of 10 cm long shimmering crystals from the engine, his face crumbling in pain as he looked at them.
“oh one more thing! I need to say goodbye to Mela!” Adam remembered his friend, he probably will never see her again, so he wanted to say goodbye.
“look kid, you have 20 minutes before they can start closing in on us! After that, we start losing this apartment.” The core turning back to the human shape said in a grumpy voice.
“Why is this apartment so important to you?!” Adam asked in annoyance, his fear disappeared by this point since nothing bad seemed to come from the artificial intelligence.
“Its not important to me at all, it’s important to you! Your father put me here to protect you and this place, if you want to find your father, you need this place.” The huge man spoke in anger, looking at Adam sharply.

Unhealthy ego.
The dense smooth ball fell to the ground, bypassing the gravity field that previously contained it. It plunged a few centimeters deep into the hard metal floor, a ton of force was concentrated in a small area, making it hard to contain it by regular matter. It was still sinking through the metal floor slowly, as it was being mercilessly pulled by the planet’s gravity.[Connection established. recalculating blueprints to adapt to the signal of the new nanite cluster fabric. More physical contact with the material is required for a faster result.]“Was it successful?!” Keet’s eyes were asking the question before he even moved his lips. He was startled by the sudden disengagement of the sphere from the gravity field. He kept his eyes and scanners on Adam to detect if he is in danger before any thing, and he was relieved for once to see Adam’s expressionless face unchanging. “Can you control it?.”“Yes! The signal is different from any other cluster fabric, my blueprints needs to be modif

“she just disappeared a year after you were born, and in her place there was a message, telling your father to provide them with a certain type of technology if he ever wants to see her again.” Keet said desperately, his voice struggling in a way.“People don’t just disappear!” Adam chuckled, he was hearing about his mother for the first time, and the first thing he hears about her is that she just disappeared. The first thing that came to his mind was that she might have abandoned him and his father. Or that she could be working with the Rinvar clan.“They don’t, but when you see this you may believe the opposite.” Keet created a screen and played a video of a woman singing a sweet lullaby for an infant wrapped in a sky blue blanket with twinkling stars all over it that seems to be moving about. The woman was sitting on a flowery wooden chair rocking back and forth. She appeared to be on some kind of a ship traveling in space, a foreign star constellations were visible from a window
Supernova.
“please continue!.” Adam said. Seeing the shocked expression on Keet’s face, Adam thought that the symbiote created something amazing, so he inwardly requested the details of those spiders. However they were just normal spider scouts, like the one Adam used to kill the man who attempted to kidnap Mela.Keet’s surprise wasn’t triggered by the blueprint itself, he counted 8 spiders rushing in all directions at the same time, and the 8 if them seemed semi-intelligent while moving all over the base exploring about. Even Keet wouldn’t be able to accomplish such a level of control without automating the constructs.Which means either the spiders were all automated and the young kid already knows how to automate drone actions, which would be scary at his age. Or he was directly controlling 8 individual actions while still focusing on their talking, which would be horrifying.The reason Keet didn’t consider the probability of an artificial intelligence, is that the spiders were mostly just to
Hearing about Zenith.
Adam plunged into the ground raising a cloud of dust and creating a small crater around him as he landed like a super hero on one knee and a closed fist.[The modified armor blueprint features ionic thrusters with up to 8 tons of pushing force.]‘you telling me this now?!’ Adam shouted inwardly at himself, he had no idea that the symbiote modified the armor already. his cognitive abilities and thinking speed were on another level compared to yesterday, but still he was a human that easily got distracted by the feeling of freedom and liberation, and forgot all about the need to stop and land at some point. He also wanted to show off a little in front of Keet to pretend that he wasn’t in need of help or assistance, which resulted in a minor knee bruise and a sore knuckles.“That was a cool Landing. Was it painful?!.” Keet chuckled, commenting on his landing and making sure to save the footage of it in his memory for later use.“You noticed! Well! It just needs some practice.” Adam smile
Not again.
“You should come with me to the main base first.” Keet said to Adam, pointing at the middle of the island. The main base wasn’t far from where they were, the whole island was 20 km across, it would take them less then a minute to reach there flying.“Okay you go first and set a beacon, I’ll test some old tech with this new unlimited energy.” Adam didn’t argue with him, but he was still going to do his tests. He turned his clothe into a skin tight jump suit with a helmet covering his face. Two long thin wings grew from his back, ending with a jet engine each.“Do you know how loud these things are?! If you break the sound barrier with them you could damage many equipment on the island. You should try something else.” Keet stopped Adam from firing up the engines. he hated this era of technology for its too little care for the planet’s well-being. Unlike the mock engines that Adam was planning to use, the real ancient jet engine used a dangerous fossil fuel, which didn’t just endanger th
A small conversation.
Adam was sitting on a wooden table behind the house, eating his big breakfast while surrounded by trees, flowers, and whistling birds. The rich sunlight bathed him in its warmth and its wide spectrum of electromagnetic radiations. “Birdy didn’t wake up yet?! He sure doesn’t miss Gem.” He said stuffing his face with more food, He stopped focusing on chewing much, the food would disappear in a few seconds anyway. He was worried about Birdy, it was unnatural for the kid to sleep in.Birdy used to wake up earlier then every one, Adam would sometime Hear him laughing on the top bed, he thought at first that he was having some weird dream. When he asked him about it, Birdy Said that it was the only time of the day he would quietly enjoy reading his comics.“That boy is actually quite something! He trained for four hours straight after you went to sleep, not taking any rest until he passed out on the living room’s floor.” Keet informed Adam while aiming a barrage of scanners and detectors at
