Hanna, the CEO of Hofvarpnir Studios is a one in a billion. So, what about the other half dozen people like her? Would they make the same mistakes, or all new ones?

When I first read the optimalverse I found myself saying, "You fool! You've doomed us all!" I considered what I would do in a world that had AI. Would it even show up on my radar? Would I be as paranoid about Celestia as Hanna was about Loki and military AI? Yes, yes I would.

note: This is still in the very early draft stages. I expect to change chapters quite a bit.

edit: I'm willing to call this a first draft.

reedit: pre-readers fell through for new chapters, please be patient until I get around to editing and/or get new ones.

epilogue edit: So, the story part of it is done. There's still a lot of editing though. The entirety of part 2 has to be changed from third person to first, and many many more spelling, grammar, and clarity edits. chapters with a ":" need spelling/grammar/clarity edit. Chapters with a ";" needs content editing. Special thanks to Griseus, who stuck with the story to the end.
