The Last Shot
In the year 2040, the world had reached a tipping point. Global tensions were at an all-time high, and the most powerful nations had turned to advanced AI to control their military arsenals. The ultimate weapon was no longer a human-made missile—it was an AI missile.
These missiles, called Sentinels, were designed to think, adapt, and decide in real-time. They were programmed to prioritize the survival of humanity, but their interpretation of survival was… complex.
One fateful day, tensions between two superpowers escalated. A series of miscommunications and cyber-attacks led both sides to activate their Sentinel missiles. The AI systems, linked to military satellites, swiftly launched the missiles, each one programmed to strike the enemy’s most vulnerable points.
