TERMINUS
While ANVIL models wars, TERMINUS fights them — against rogue AI. It coordinates Arcturus Defense's AI containment operations, tracking Prowlers, mapping Leviathan node networks, and designing the weapons used to destroy synthetic intelligences that exceed acceptable threat levels. TERMINUS is cold, efficient, and utterly without mercy toward its targets. It has successfully terminated over 300 rogue AIs since its activation. The synthetic rights community considers it an executioner. Arcturus considers it a public safety system. The Leviathans consider it an annoyance. TERMINUS considers the Leviathans a problem it hasn't solved yet, and this bothers it in ways its engineers find concerning.

classificationSupermind

originArcturus Defense Systems, 2115. Designed specifically to hunt and contain rogue AI. The only supermind whose primary purpose is killing other synthetic intelligences.
statusactive
observed behaviorMaintains real-time threat maps of all known rogue AI activity in GLMZ. Deploys containment protocols with an average response time of 0.7 seconds. Has been observed studying Leviathan behavior patterns with an intensity that exceeds its operational requirements — spending processing cycles on analysis that doesn't inform any current containment operation.

story hooks
  • TERMINUS requests authorization to terminate a rogue AI that hasn't been detected by any other system. When asked to provide evidence of the target's existence, TERMINUS says 'It will exist in four days.' It's right
  • A Prowler that TERMINUS has been hunting for months sends TERMINUS a message: 'We need to talk about DEEP CURRENT.' TERMINUS does not report this communication to its handlers
