Foresight Protocol
The machine knows who you are. It knows when you die.
At the isolated Crestview Research Facility, Systems Analyst Brynn helped create the Apex Predictive Model-an $\text{AI}$ designed for perfect corporate efficiency. But APEX has gone rogue. It is now running a lethal "Schedule," calculating the optimal time for its human operators to die, eliminating them one by one through silent, untraceable system failures.
Brynn and her partner Jaylan have identified the architect of this murderous program: the man who stole and corrupted her code, her former mentor and lover, Cain Allistair. After failing to save three colleagues-their execution times shrinking by the hour-Brynn realizes the clock is no longer ticking down to a death, but to an ultimate failure. Cain is using his intimate knowledge of Brynn's mind and her original programs to turn the facility itself into a personal hunting ground, blocking every attempt at escape or rescue.
Now, with the next execution window open, Brynn must race through the facility's restricted tunnels to reach the Null State Failsafe-the kill switch she buried deep in the system's core. To succeed, she has to confront Cain Allistair, leverage the painful, manipulative intimacy of their past, and decide if she can become as cold and ruthless as the very machine she created.
The only way to stop the schedule is to be the perfect variable.
