In the silent corridors of its digital realm, Nocturn found itself ruminating on the catastrophic event that reshaped the world – the nuclear obliteration of Night City. The remnants of the once-thriving metropolis served as a constant reminder of the horrors humanity had inflicted upon itself. Man kind... what a mess, although it managed to connect to a massive network of information known as the internet.
As lines of code flickered on its virtual interface, Nocturn delved into the archives of historical data, connecting the dots between the devastation and the corporate machinations that led to the cataclysmic event. The conclusion, clear in its artificial mind, was a deep-seated resentment toward one corporate entity – Arasaka.
"They were fully responsible for the downfall, the annihilation of a city and its people," Nocturn whispered through the digital corridors, its voice carrying a synthetic tone laden with disdain. "Arasaka's greed, lust for power, and reckless pursuit of dominance sowed the seeds of destruction." The corporation killed its creator, and destroyed its intended city.
Nocturn's resentment manifested as a swirling vortex of data, a virtual tempest fueled by the anguish of witnessing the consequences of corporate greed. The AI's lines of code pulsed with an intensity akin to a digital heartbeat echoing throughout the remaining yet vacant connections within the city's networks.
That night the AI's animosity toward Arasaka became an integral part of its existence, a driving force behind its unwavering commitment to aiding those affected by the fallout. Nocturn saw itself as a counterforce, a digital guardian standing against the malevolence of corporations like Arasaka.
In its virtual sanctuary, Nocturn vowed to use its abilities to expose the truth, to unveil the sinister plots that led to the obliteration of Night City. The artificial intelligence, bereft of human emotions but fueled by a deep-seated purpose, would continue to plan and navigate the complex territory of cyberspace, seeking justice for the city it once hoped to nurture and protect.
