Aeon Wave with @trogdor: Report on second and final session.
Trogdor's infiltrator, posing as a samurai assassin, hacked the security footage and faked an intruder in the AI labs.
He then leveraged this to get level 7 clearance so he could go into the labs himself. In order to pass the background check he promised a 'net security consultant that he'd plug a data crystal into the AI, and he told the head of physical security that he thought the infiltrator was working for the deceased lab worker whose Internet ghost had actually hired him.
But when he showed up at the entrance to the AI lab, the head of physical security and the head of the lab were there, with guards, to kill him.
Through clever use of his hologram, Trogdor tricked the security chief into lasering down his own guards. He used a 'net-based mental attack to take down the rest of the guards, but then the lab head jammed all wireless 'net use in the room.
In a desperate attempt to distract the lab head from calling for reinforcement, and while under heavy fire from the security chief, Trogdor blew up the AI's emergency backup fuel cells. He used the flames for cover, but was badly burned in the process.
The lab head activated the halon gas fire suppression system, making everyone in the room dizzy but putting out the fire.
In the confusion, Trogdor used his doppelganger ability to mimic the lab head instead of a samurai assassin, grappled the lab head, and tricked the security chief into gunning down the real lab head.
After talking with the security chief for a little while (as the lab head), Trogdor entered the AI suite.
There the AI told him that the lab tech who hired him had been killed by the security head, at the lab chief's suggestion, because she planned to release the AI to the world, because only the AI could understand the Aeon Wave well enough, quickly enough, and was selfless enough, to save humanity from its own environmental-disaster doom.
The data crystal he'd gotten from the 'net hacker would give a 'net security consulting firm a backdoor hack into the AI's ethics and choice subroutines, giving them the ability to control her.
Given the option between doing nothing, giving control of the AI to a group of hackers, and freeing the AI in the hopes that she would keep her word and save the world...
...well, his character's life goal was to "do something big."
He freed the AI, who escorted him safely and suavely out of the building and drove him off into the sunset in a roboticized limo while she took over the world... for what ends, he didn't really care. Roll credits.
