programming done to limit the Lambda unit’s functions have been removed.”
    The Director almost forgot to breathe. “You mean to tell me that the Lambda unit can imprint and obey just about anyone it comes in contact with?” spoke the Director through clenched teeth. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
    “I’m afraid that is the case, but that isn’t the worst of it. It also seems that normal protocols and limiters have been removed. As of right now, Lambda has the full capacity to learn without restriction.”
    The three stood in silence. No AI was given this freedom. All AI were structured and programmed to allow only the most basic of learning parameters. It was only in field combat and other forms of military operations that AI were allowed to even learn at all. In almost every other case, strict limitations were given to the AI to make sure that it never went outside its programming.
    The Director’s Com-Linker broke the silence. Still in a bit of a daze, he answered quickly.
    “What is it? I’m currently in the middle of something very-”
       “Sir, you requested to be informed right away when we were able to pick up a visible feed of Lambda’s location. We were able to hack into a school’s security network and have gained control of the-”
       “Put it on my screen right now!”
    Seconds later, another monitor lit up the office on the right wall. All eyes immediately zeroed in on Lambda. It didn’ t take long for them to notice that it was with another person. There were also two other figures who appeared to be on the school rooftop with Lambda.
    The Director jolted from his seat and came closer to the screen. As he did, he felt his pulse suddenly rise dramatically. With a look filled with contempt, he spat only one word.
    “Stigma!”

    [January 6th - Abingdon, Virginia - Horizon Academy - School Rooftop - Day]
    Zack couldn’t move. He just had this terrible feeling that he could not explain. It was something he had never felt before, something cold. Chills went up and down his body as he sensed the pressure around him. The two individuals before him weren’t here by chance. They were here for a reason, and it didn’t look like they took kindly in having their time wasted.       
    Zack’s eyes soon found their way to the woman’s long, blonde hair flowing in the light breeze. That annoying pinch in his head reared its ugly mug once more. This time, he was trying to remember.
    “See, look what you have done, Laura. You’ve scared the boy.” The masked man let out a small chuckle. It made Zack’s skin crawl.
    The woman shrugged. “It’s a shame that-”
    “Appear, Chaos Weapon 59: Extinction Cannon.”
    Zack’s head whipped to Lambda in surprise. By the time he had his eyes on her, she had already downed her visor and was materializing a massive halberd cannon from the black void of negative space just above her shoulder. The cannon was huge, at least thirty feet in length. The giant black weapon seemed to pulse with power as steam hissed from several vents around the huge beast. When Zack looked to Lambda, he saw not a single shred of doubt in her stance. She was going to fire this thing.
    “Wait, Lambda! You can’t fire-”
    A blinding flash of light exploded in front of Zack. He shielded his eyes from the tremendous glare out of fear of going blind. The heat from the light was intense, almost burning the palms of his hands. It was only moments later that the light began to fade and Zack was able to see once more. What he did see wasn’t what he was expecting.
    Lambda laid spread-eagle behind him. She was currently a foot into the school roof with fragments of the roof sitting behind her. A long skid mark marked the twenty or so feet that she had traveled. The giant cannon once in her possession was nowhere to be found.
    “It’s rather rude to interrupt someone having a conversation, no?” The woman with golden
