545, NO-FATE
Who was afraid of the mechanized kinetic skeleton?
Who was vigorously promoting artificial intelligence?
Would the chaos that Cyberdyne once caused to the Department of Defense appear again?
Did artificial intelligence almost cause a world war?
Should the safety of humans be handed over to robots or to humans themselves?
A few days after the unknown small war that occurred in Los Santos, a series of eye-catching headlines appeared on the front page of major newspapers. Major media reported from different angles and raised a terrifying question – Was there a mastermind behind the scenes that wanted artificial intelligence to come to the forefront?
Since 1994, when the system developed by Cyberdyne almost controlled the computer of the Department of Defense and started a nuclear war, the term artificial intelligence quietly occupied a part of human life. Although real artificial intelligence had not yet been achieved, the concept had already penetrated into all aspects of people's lives.
It seemed that someone was trying to make people forget the chaos caused by Cyberdyne, hoping to bring artificial intelligence into everyone's lives. Finally, this point exploded.
One of the founders of the newly established Raider Group, John Connor, was assassinated. After that, the research center was attacked by a group of unknown militants. However, it was this company that just proposed the concept of the mechanized kinetic skeleton to replace the previously popular concept of robot soldiers.
This incident, coupled with the overwhelming public opinion, suddenly made the UA government pay attention. After secretly interrogating the captured Orderliness Clan soldiers, a mysterious organization surfaced – Orderliness Clan, a cult that worshipped artificial intelligence, and it seemed to have a lot of power.
However, this organization was hidden too deeply. After the UA government destroyed a few small gathering points, the clues of this organization were cut off. Moreover, the UA government still had illusions about the role of artificial intelligence, so they could only classify this organization as a cult and declare it illegal. There was no further action.
However, with this wave of publicity, the Raider Group and ZEIRA Company, which produced the mechanized kinetic skeleton, began to develop rapidly. The two companies competed with each other and won several large orders from the Department of Defense. They also launched export models and began to export to other countries.
This kind of equipment could allow an ordinary soldier to carry 200 kilograms of weight in an instant. After being equipped with armor, he would become a humanoid tank. Moreover, it was not cumbersome. It could run for more than 12 hours at a speed of 20 to 30 kilometers per hour. It instantly became the darling of the international arms market.
Other countries also followed suit and began to develop their own mechanized exoskeletons. Among these followers, the Guardian Group from China's Guardian Heavy Industries took the lead. They also introduced their own excellent mechanical exoskeleton products in China and formed a competitive relationship with the US in the international market.
However, in the United States, a down-and-out reporter named Blair from ABC All-American Radio suddenly published a lengthy exposé!
The beautiful CEO of ZEIRA, Catherine Weaver, was a robot!!!
Blair used a large number of photos taken secretly, interviews with ZEIRA's internal staff, and interviews with Catherine Weaver's neighbors to prove that the beautiful CEO's behavior had been very strange since her husband died in a plane crash in 1993. He also ruled out the possibility that her personality had changed because of her husband's death.
This exposé immediately caused public opinion, which was already very sensitive to artificial intelligence, to explode! ZEIRA and Catherine were immediately surrounded by countless reporters and media!
Things finally reached a climax when Blair suddenly ran out and threw a watermelon knife at Catherine during one of her outings! Catherine was immediately cut and bled. Then Blair was taken away by the police.
After the incident, Catherine seemed to have suffered a great blow. After leaving a suicide note, she committed suicide by jumping into the sea from the Golden Gate Bridge. Her body has not been found. Her four-year-old daughter, Savannah, was adopted by John Connor of the Raider Group after she gave up the right to inherit the property according to her will.
Then, the two succeeding CEOs of ZEIRA were unable to lead the company further. Finally, it was acquired by Raytheon, and ZEIRA was buried in the sand of history.

UA, Arlington County, Virginia, Pentagon.
Two men in black suits walked into the office with a metal briefcase. They handcuffed the briefcase to the wrist of the person holding the briefcase.
The two men came to a heavily guarded corridor. After a series of checks, the two men in black suits walked to the elevator at the end of the corridor and went straight to the basement.
In an underground laboratory, several people in military uniforms were waiting there.
The men in black suits immediately gave a standard military salute to the people inside, then unlocked the handcuffs and handed the briefcase over. An officer walked over, entered the password, and opened the briefcase. Inside was a watermelon knife and a few test tubes.
"We have extracted blood samples and DNA from the watermelon knife that Blair used to cut Catherine Weaver. The conclusion is that the blood is 99.7% similar to her daughter, Savannah Weaver," reported the man in black suits.
"Even if she is Catherine's daughter, it is impossible to have such a high degree of similarity!" said an older officer.
"If it is completely her daughter's blood, then it is easy to explain. What is the other 0.03% difference?" asked a young officer.
"It is fluorocarbon. In 1966, scientists in our country proposed the possibility of using this substance to replace blood and published related papers, "answered the man in black suit.
"In other words, this is artificial blood …" An officer pondered.
"It seems that the ABC TV reporter's report is not groundless." The old officer stroked his beard and said, "So, the strange woman found in San Francisco before, have you found her?"
"Found her. She killed dozens of police officers and later offered to surrender to us. We have already put her under secret custody." The man in black suit pointed to a stack of photos in the briefcase.
The old officer pulled out the photos and looked at them one by one. If Tang Yu was here, he would be surprised to find that these were photos of Raleigh Valencia, the bloody rose!
The officer nodded and said, "Then, I will leave this project to you, Captain Robert Brewster."
The young officer immediately saluted and replied loudly, "Yes!"

Los Angeles National Cemetery, Los Angeles, United States, 1997.
A man in a black trench coat stood in front of an inconspicuous tombstone. He covered most of his face with a cloak and wore black gloves on his hands. He was wrapped up tightly.
The man held a bouquet of white flowers and gently placed it on the tombstone. He then reached out and wiped the tombstone with his hand. On the tombstone were written:
Sala Connor, 1959 ~ 1997
(Fate is not predestined. We need to create it ourselves)
