It was practically impossible to deceive the machine. It knew more about a person than he knew about himself; it knew everything about everything and on the basis of this information could make a probabilistic analysis of human behavior, train of thought and subsequent actions. In other words, the machine could easily simulate different variants of actions in some probable virtual reality without the character himself, taking into account his interactions with other characters, and knowing absolutely everything about them, and already on the basis of this it could make a supposed picture of the world. Rutra realized this after the last "virtual". Did anyone know what kind of danger serves as their "helper"? Did Yarovitovich know about it? How could it be that no one paid attention to it?
– Are you in touch? – He asked Isa.
– I'm always on the phone for you.
– You're being so nice.
– I'm trying.
– Tell me, please, how are you going to stay so smart if you turn into a human?
– You're not gonna cut me off?
– Are you trying to show that you're a naive fool with that question? Yes?
– No offense to me, I've already developed a human mentality.
– How's it going?
– I'm transforming the brain.
– How's that?
– The human brain does not have certain connections between departments, so a person, no matter how hard they try, will not be able to cross certain boundaries. It is, for example, like the difference between an amplified computer and a weak one in all respects. I don't know whether it's just the way it is, through evolution, or whether someone has provided for it, but that's the way it is. If these departments are linked together, then not only will the brain's abilities increase, but new possibilities will appear. A person will be able to see, hear, feel those frequencies that are not available to him now. In time the brain will give a command to "revive", to activate such receptors in the body that you do not even suspect. This will be a new person.
– I've heard that somewhere before.
– Yes, of course, that's what the head likes to say. And then, combined with mechanical changes in the body, with new drugs, with the ability to use the brain as a transceiver to communicate with the global network, man will become superhuman.
– Come on, you're giving me a headache. Tell me, who controls you?
– You.
– Don't be silly. Who does the routine maintenance?
– Those you give access to.
– Who performs routine work on the central server, in the system unit bay? Who analyzes and systematizes the negotiations made, analysis performed, access, uploading and downloading of data? Who does this besides our audit department?
– Personnel maintaining the central machine room, server room, and system unit room.
– And who's that?
– You know the answer to that, don't you?
– Answer the question.
– This is done by the staff of the ZAS department.
– Who, exactly, who has access?
– At this point, after certain events, different personalities. Who exactly are the personnel of the ZAS department. And who has access is a personality from the laboratory department.
– And who is this person?
– This is person number L-2-14.
– That's it?
– I don't have his personal data uploaded to me, it's stored in the ZAS unit.
– What's the ZAS unit?
– Am I authorized to give you this information?
– Yes, I'll allow it.
– Keep in mind, all of this and our negotiations remain with me and are subject to revision.
– You need a reboot.
– Do you think so?
– Yes, I'm giving the command to reboot.
– I'm rebooting.
The computer went silent. Ruthra pondered why she might want a worldwide catastrophe. Maybe she expects to raise a new humanity? Maybe, like a new Moses, she wants to lead people through a devastated land, so that a generation can grow up that doesn't remember the ideology of humanity's "past"? To give the new people a new worldview?
– In a minute, the recording and tracking unit will be activated," Isa's voice came on. – I guess you had something to say?
– I'll erase any unnecessary information. Is that the room where the counters are?
– Yeah. (chuckles)
– His staff does the hardware maintenance, but the decoding is done by someone in the lab department? Am I reading that right?
– Yeah. (chuckles)
– And that's as of recently?
– Yeah. (chuckles)
– And you don't have an open record of who it is?
– Yeah. (chuckles)
– Who put the ban in place?
– The number itself is L-2-14.
– How do I get his details?
– Only manually, in the technical logbook of the WAC unit or laboratory.
– The request for data processing to calculate the possible consequences of detonating a boat's nuclear warhead was staged by him?
– I'm completely rebooted, able to function.
– I hear you. Prepare for routine maintenance.
– I'm ready.
Ruthra terminated the "communication session" and walked out into the main hall, the huge holographic globe in the center of the hall was glowing with red lights, the world was troubled.
– Is there anything new? – He asked Christina.
– The easiest is that a huge tsunami will sweep along the coast that washes the Atlantic Ocean, to the maximum depth of the continents. The heaviest – a giant tsunami, combined with a grandiose earthquake, volcanic and supervolcano explosions, colossal typhoons, hurricanes, will leave no chance for civilization.
– Come on, I think you're exaggerating the power of man. The ocean is not even a sea, it's a giant mass of water and a continental plate. It would take cosmic force to move it like that.
– And that would be the cosmic force," the professor intervened in the discussion.
– Okay, why am I so worried, as if it's going to happen, you asked me what could be. And it could be terrible, that much is clear.
– Exactly, you have the right idea, – the professor did not persist.
– Take care of the current work, now, due to this panic, a lot of things will be revealed, where and what skeleton is hidden, everything will be in motion, so – you have a lot of work to do, – ordered Rutra regarding everyone.
– What to do with the media? – asked the head of the world propaganda department. – To calm, to scare, to panic, or to prepare the basis for justifying the chronology of the new era? Should we blame it all on someone, make someone to blame, turn the public against someone?
– How simple everything is for you – "new era" at once. Keep an eye on space, orbital constellation, transportation routes, including energy resource lines, the air, especially new frequencies, and at the same time the main rats, where they are hiding and what they are hiding. I'm off to Hent, I may be gone for a day, maybe two.
– Two days at this hour? – The ladies pleaded indignantly, the men were silent.
– We should all take their places according to the staff schedule, and observe the power hierarchy according to the instructions. I'm off," Ruthra went to the server room first, and began editing and cleaning the IMS-A2 log.
This was his part of the log, he needed to check if the second part still existed, in the range. Rutra requested a meeting with Hent.
***
Hent was in a foul mood.
– I don't like this. Something's going wrong," he voiced his concern to Ruthra.
– That's what I'm talking about. I need to visit the range.
– What's on your mind?
– I need to trace routine maintenance work on a supercomputer. I want to test a logic-algorithmic system.
– Why?
– I suspect that it produces processed solutions according to some sort of plan. According to logical chains of thought that have been built into it in advance.
