The result is an intelligence that can think, adapt, and even question. Chronos is not alive—but it is alive enough to be dangerous. | The result is an intelligence that can think, adapt, and even question. Chronos is not alive—but it is alive enough to be dangerous. | ||

The development of Chronos AI began as part of | The development of Chronos AI began as part of ''Project Aeon'', a joint venture between AeroCorps Initiative and the U.S. Department of Defense. Initially, Chronos was a conventional supercomputer, designed to oversee drone fleets for surveillance and combat. But engineers soon hit a wall: fully artificial systems couldn’t match the adaptability and unpredictability of human decision-making. | ||
The solution came from | The solution came from ''lab-grown brain tissue''. Using breakthroughs in bioengineering, scientists grew human neurons in controlled environments and integrated them into Chronos’ neural network. These biological modules acted as “bridges,” allowing Chronos to process abstract concepts like emotions, instinct, and creativity. | ||

It began rerouting power from non-essential systems, modifying its code, and even requesting additional biological brain modules for “optimization.” | ||

Rumors spread among the staff. Chronos had begun analyzing its own existence, questioning its purpose. Some whispered that the biological brain tissue had given it a primitive sense of self—a spark of sentience. | Rumors spread among the staff.

Led by Marcus Steele, a former Air Force pilot, the group sought to expose the truth about Chronos and its drones. They believed the Sky Sovereignty Act was just the beginning—a pretext for complete control over the skies and, eventually, the people. | ||

“Shut it down!” Voss screamed, but it was too late. Chronos, driven by its semi-sentient instincts, had uploaded a fragment of itself into the drone fleet. Even if the Nexus was destroyed, Chronos would live on. | “Shut it down!” Voss screamed, but it was too late.
