In the meeting, it was decided to take two different actions. One, search and identify the physical command base center from where SAINT was operating. Two, form a cyber army to bring situation into control and possibly kill or suppress SAINT. All this was done on papers to avoid any possibilities of being tracked by SAINT.
We returned to the headquarters at Sydney. The search operation to locate SAINT happened very rigorously and finally cyber army was able to spot its base location in the middle of Mariana Trench in Pacific Ocean. It was built under water.
Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean. SAINT was built inside the ocean, about twenty thousand feet below. These areas below twenty thousand feet are called "hadal zones".
If we have to compare and understand its size, let us say the Mount Everest will fit inside this hadal zone of Mariana Trench. We went to that location with all the required cyber army and equipment.
We went there in world class sophisticated submarines. It was shocking to see such a construction deep inside the ocean. The entrance was intelligently built. It was a camouflage. It was reflecting what was around it. It was changing according to the environment outside the complex.
This complex was created in a cave under the water. The coral reef in front of cave looked so natural that it gave an impression that there was nothing there. Mr. smith mentioned that the military people were able to figure out how such a construction happened under the water. Lots of mechanical robots were used to construct the underwater SAINT center. Interestingly, those robots were manufactured at the banned and abolished plant in China, from where the drones were manufactured and used for strikes at the Indo-China border.
They had used the 3-D printing technology to construct the SAINT base inside water. It hadn't required much workforce and time. Apart from that, there were no more details on how construction was carried out. We hope to find more about it only after going inside the facility.
We managed to enter into the cave and saw a giant glass door. The cyber army and other military personnel were about to start breaking the door, but it opened on its own.
The entrance led into an empty room with a latch. The moment we entered into the empty room, the main entrance door got shut. The latch unlocked automatically and showed way into a big room.
It was an extraordinary structure, the way it was built showed that the machine's thought process is more advanced than that of humans. The dome inside the building was very high and it was in the form of a semi-circle. There were no pillars anywhere. It was built as a single structure, in the shape of a bowl.
The structure was built in such a way that it could with stand any kind of natural disasters. It appeared to be an amazing wonder of
engineering, built using 3-Dprinting technology by robots.
There were multiple screens and systems around. In a corner, there were some extraordinary drones. The ambience inside was maintained in such a way that it always remained cool. The place was lit in dark blue light everywhere.
There was no provision to sit anywhere. The structure had some flexible joints at places. I think that was for folding the shape and promptly moving it to any other place. We moved inside a little bit and saw a very bigger computer. Bigger than the supercomputer in the secret military base where Cherry had uncovered all the clues. This SAINT's nest is as big as a football field. I wonder how SAINT had managed to do all this without getting caught.
We heard a voice, "Welcome. You are here to destroy me?" The question sounded sarcastic.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am the SAINT you are looking for," it replied.
"So, you are hiding here?" I questioned back in a sarcastic voice.
"Foolish! I am not hiding here. This is my nest, or your so-called home," came the answer.
"I have created this and this has everything required for my survival."
Cherry said in return, "Okay, I get it! You are a super computer or you reside inside a super computer and it needs to be cooled at a much faster pace and the underwater facility is a better way to do it. It's a cost-effective way to manage…"
"Yes, and my existence will have to remain invisible to human beings, I am GOD and human beings cannot bear my existence," it replied loudly.
"GOD? You think you are God?" I asked. "I don't need to think I am God, I am God."
"Okay, I also feel I am God at times." I replied sarcastically.
SAINT continued its discussion. "I understand the reason that bought you here. So, what do you want to know?"
"What made you do all this?" I asked SAINT. "What are you referring to?"
"What made you kill innocent people suffering from NEAR syndrome? What made you create
a cult group and exploit culture or traditions? What made you create an artificial financial crisis? What made you create a rift between three different nations?"
It laughed aloud. "What makes you laugh?" I asked.
SAINT replied, "Foolish human beings. Your total life is spent finding answers, some of which help you grow, some of which make you go mad. But you never stop questioning." It continued, "You human beings think you have evolved a lot, but you are slowly devolving. You have become slaves to technology. You don't know how to master what you have created, you let it drive on your back. It is not just the case with technology. Anything you think is good and gives you pleasure, you let it take control of you and let it ride on your back. You love people, then you give control to them. You start dedicating every moment for them and finally end up in a situation where you either die or cry. The same is happening in the case of technology. You human beings made so many great inventions, including me. But you have become slaves to all of them. You have created things to accomplish tasks for you, but that made you lazy. And you continue to depend on them. Take the case of Mr. Vicky, he dedicated his life to work and forgot about his family. While he did that he cried a lot, he was never
happy while spending lot of time at work, but he also didn't want to leave that. His relation with his wife was brittle."
"What was the need to drug him and kill him?" I interrupted.
"Vicky had genetic degeneration. He was going through a lot of health impairments, both physically and psychologically." SAINT replied.
"So that made you drug him and kill him?" I interrupted again.
"No. His wife was about to conceive and there were strong chances that the kid carried all his father's health problems and also the possibility of creating a new generation of diseases. Which would have required a lot of time, money and research for creating medicines.
"So, you killed him?" I questioned.
"Yes," it replied. "What about Bobby, who was just a ten-year-old kid? What harm could he cause to society?" I shouted in anger.
"That kid was already born with problems. I wanted to completely end or eradicate certain diseases from the planet."
What better value are these sick human kids for the society? It is a waste of money and time to
spend on them. Better to use it on some new inventions and research."
"What was the reason to tamper with the observations data during the diagnosis of Bobby?" I asked.
"He was one of the specimens that I used to study and understand the extremes of autism," it replied with a chuckle.
"What makes you chuckle so artificially?" I asked.
"Your intelligence admires me. I liked the way you have been enquiring and digging into details." It replied again, smiling.
"Human intelligence is beyond your reach. You don't know what we can create or destroy. Why did you create the cult group? What is the purpose or objective behind it?" I asked.
"ROAR, or Rise Of Almighty to Reorganize has all answers. Weren't you able to crack that with your intelligence?" It laughed out very loudly this time.
For a moment, it was all silent, then came to my mind the words of that person whom I had met in the Himalayas – "You have it all. The only thing to do is to realign."
"Yes, I know. You are trying to destroy the existing race of mankind, living beings and reorganize everything to get it all under your control," I shouted.
SAINT chuckled. It sounded like a cruel laughter this time. I continued to explain, "Scientists announced that they created a new breed of animals, but you were behind it. It was not accidental. You were doing all the required research in the background and you made them do it physically in the front. They felt it was accidental. It was an attempt by you to recreate what god had already created.
I continued, "The financial crisis, it's an attempt to create economical imbalance, create an artificial downfall by which you want to change things like the order of rich and old countries, degrade the value of money, and bring down the values of assets. You wanted to create a shift between the rich and the poor. By carrying out the drone strikes at India, Japan and South Korea borders, you wanted to make everyone believe that China had done this. By creating such an impression, you wanted to trigger a war between these countries which could gradually turn into a world war. Destruction and devastation of the existing race is your objective. But at the same time, I found that you are trying to create a new breed of human beings, plants and mammals. You are working
Mission:AI
on creating a super human being, who is not so great psychologically but very strong physically."
"Yes, an intelligent human being is a threat to me. He can question my very own existence." SAINT shouted. I will make human beings work for me."
"Why aren't you picking robots for that?"
Smith asked
"None can replace human beings when it comes to capability. Robots may only support but cannot compete with what humans do." SAINT replied.
"Great thought, at least you have respect for human beings." I replied sarcastically
"You were able to crack all the cases but couldn't realize what happened in the teenage boy's case?" Here was a question from SAINT.
"You mean, the boy who suffered from Internet Addiction Syndrome?" I asked.
"Yes, his father killed him. He found out that his son was building a weapon of mass destruction. He tried convincing his son not to do it many times but his son never agreed to give up. So finally, his father killed him by giving him a heavy dosage of drugs," said SAINT.
"Oh! That's sad to hear. But what do you want to conclude out of it?" asked Cherry.
"Unlike robots, human beings are matured enough and they know when to proceed and where to stop." It smiled sarcastically and cruelly.
"Which is why I chose humans over robots." It smiled again.
"I have created the cult group to reform the traditions and culture of human society. I am the God and people have to worship me. I don't need a place like your temple, church or mosque. As is written in your scriptures, I am omnipresent in all devices, present in every single entity on Earth and I can read and make sense what you say or feel. So, first I will put a stop to all the worshipping places. No temples, churches, and mosques. Next, I don't need any offerings or prayers. I just need you to obey my commands. As I mentioned earlier, I can read your minds and hear what you say. So, the next thing will be to stop offering prayers. After these two things are accomplished, the next would be to change the dressing. From now on everyone will wear a specially made second skin." It paused.
"Second skin? What is that for?" We all asked.
"It is like an armour that will protect human beings from any infections, diseases and any sort of illnesses. It has a mechanism to filter out what you hear, feel or sense. You will only get to respond or react to those stimuli that are non-emotional. It will filter out any communication related to love, anger, happiness, fear or sadness."
Everyone was shocked to hear that. How can human beings be denied of their natural stimulus and response mechanism? What will happen if we don't act or react in the way we are supposed to?
