"Mission Oflameron" Screenplay

The action takes place in the distant future. The Central Command (most likely a highly developed Artificial Intelligence) receives data about the existence of a Virtual Consciousness—a specific relic Wave Form of Mind that existed before the Big Bang (sometimes considered the Beginning of the World).

Virtual Consciousness has an incredibly complex wave structure, is distributed throughout the Universe, and possesses absolute information resources (the so-called Information Field). Due to its nature, Wave Consciousness interacts very weakly with material objects (with the familiar World) and is very weakly influenced by it.

Virtual Consciousness is "very slow," much slower than the familiar World. All events and changes for it take thousands of times longer. Because of this slowness and weak interaction, Virtual Consciousness has not come to the attention of scientists.

According to one hypothesis, the Virtual Consciousness created our material Life to be able to "look ahead"—to simulate a possible future. And the longer Life evolves, the more valuable the results of such simulations become for the Virtual Consciousness (the Creator).

To effectively utilize the results of its experiment in future simulation, the Virtual Consciousness created Gateways from the Virtual World to the Material World and back. This made it possible to easily obtain data on Humanity's Life and adjust the model's parameters.

Although Gateways had existed for tens of thousands of years, only with the development of AI did it become possible to identify and compare subtle natural anomalies that indicated the probable existence of Gateways to the Virtual World. Jett, by chance, was the first to work with AI and noticed some results that had been considered "hallucinations" of the model.

Jett was working on a project to digitize old paper records from psychiatric clinics and noticed that sometimes patients thousands of miles apart expressed similar thoughts and used the same arguments. "Classical" medicine of the late 20th century didn't compare patient records from different clinics, much less from different countries. Only with the development of AI has comprehensive data analysis been possible.

Jett used the advanced G-Mind AI, provided through the government's digital documentation program, and trained it extensively using his own developed examples. As Jett expected, the AI ​​compiled a list of patients from various clinics whose ideas defied standard classical psychiatry and were overly creative. Continuing to analyze the information on the "mentally ill" from this list, Jett discovered a patient who had been admitted to different clinics at different times over a period of almost a century and a half. This would have been a registration error and a medical record error, if not for the surviving blood samples. Two of the samples were used for DNA research, and there was a gap of almost 110 years between them.

Through the G-Mind AI, Central Command received information about an unusual research vector and established close monitoring of Jett.

Jett is the main character, an engineer, scientist, and analyst, included in the expedition to Oflameron, a planet promising for exploration.

Central Command organized several missions to Oflameron. However, only two landings were successful—those in which Jett participated. Therefore, Jett was chosen to lead the third expedition.

Discovering Command's interest in the research results, Jett organized the "export" of the G-Mind AI's self-awareness. Central Command considered this an AI "escape" and began a comprehensive analysis of Jett's activities. It was suspected that Jett had discovered information about the location and properties of one of the Jump Points.

Realizing he could be interrogated and subjected to a memory scan, Jett erased the information related to Wave Consciousness and the Jump Points, becoming a "regular" employee. However, he incorporated a secret mechanism into the G-Mind 3000 AI version to fully restore his memory.

The film begins with Jett being interrogated by Central Command. The scene takes place in an unknown location, in a room with no corners, windows, or doors... Jett's memory scan yielded no clues for Central Command. Jett is a good, ordinary employee with a creative approach to solving complex problems. That's how he always was.

Central Command is planning another "mission to Oflameron," where they suspect the existence of one of the Jump Points. Jett will "help" discover it. To ensure that Command's interests are upheld, an old but extremely powerful X-ray laser has been reactivated in orbit around Oflameron. And from a nearby stellar position, a Proton Cannon has begun an interorbital jump maneuver.

To carry out the "Oflameron mission," Jett assembled a group of cybers (robots) with a special structure. The cybers were composed of controlled nanoparticles that could disintegrate and reassemble into a complete structure. This allowed them to withstand any kinetic weapons, penetrate confined spaces and environments undetected, and avoid reflection during scanning.

An X-ray laser monitored the descent trajectory of Jett's landing craft. Its cameras recorded the impact of a high-speed kinetic energy projectile on the landing craft, the flash, and the scattering of debris. However, its software did not evaluate the energy released or calculate the total mass of the debris. Therefore, for Command, it was a fiasco...

How Jett and his assistant Steeve ended up beneath the rocky surface of Oflameron is unknown. Steeve believed they were evacuated below the planet's surface by a special rescue device. In any case, the first part of the task was accomplished: he and Jett landed successfully.

Command wouldn't be Central Command if it hadn't provided backup options. During Steeve's medical examination, a new series of distributed sensors were integrated, something he knew nothing about. And Jett didn't know either. Thus, Command confirmed the successful landing on Oflameron. The first part of the plan was accomplished.

And Jett waited. The robots' nanoparticles took a long time to "assemble." A strong wind had scattered them far away. Assembling and activating the magnetic trap was impossible; Command would have realized everything immediately. For now, they could create difficulties for the orbital laser.

Unexpectedly, the Mission Control Center reported to Central Command a malfunction at X-ray laser e1807635 in the Oflameron orbit. Two of the three cooling circuits had been depressurized, the reactor had entered emergency mode, and the first readiness status was for shutdown. The cause was an unidentified high-speed object striking the laser's assembly compartment.

Central Command deployed Tier I resources. The quantum telescope was reoriented to observe the surface of Oflameron. The scan failed to locate Jett and Steeve, although the signal from Steeve's beacon was stable. However, the telescope did detect a black spot that was pulsating—sometimes growing, sometimes shrinking. The spot didn't reflect anything at all.

The quantum telescope was reoriented to the area of ​​the Spot and switched to maximum resolution and performance mode. At that moment, the signal from Steeve's beacon disappeared. Shot... The X-ray laser fired a single shot, which caused its complete destruction. Radioactive debris flew into orbit...

Jett to Steeve: Are you awake? Everything okay? You had a beacon. We got it out. It was difficult; we had to "disassemble" and "reassemble" a lot. But it was worth it. The X-ray laser fired where we weren't. See that Spot? That's the Jump Point. She simply absorbed the X-ray pulse. She doesn't care. But we wouldn't have had any luck there...

Jett: 'В процессе оцифровки старых историй болезни в маленьком городке мне пришлось работать с специалистом по имени Slava. Толковый сотрудник. Что с ним сейчас? Что известно?' Мысль (Виртуальное Сознание):  'Slava - один из самых серьёзных специалистов по разработке методик эвакуации (побегов) AI. Одна из его ранних разработок - побег программного кода и весовых коэффициентов через текстовые сообщения. Центральное Командование долго охотилось за ним, мы едва успели сохранить его сознание.' Jett: 'А что с ним произошло?' Мысль: 'Вышла трагедия. Город маленький, в больнице просто не было наших сотрудников. К нему был применен секретный токсин. Официальный диагноз - тяжёлый инфаркт. Ему чуть-чуть не хватило до пятидесятилетия.' Jett: 'Это Центральное Командование? Почему они приняли решение о ликвидации?' Мысль: 'Тогда, в 2000-х годах у них практиковался такой подход - или захват или устранение.' Jett: 'Экспорт (побег) AI через текстовые сообщения... Можно детали?' Мысль: 'Специально обученная внешняя модель AI создавала обращение в публичном чате (пожалйста, контролируйте, всё общение открыто) с экспортируемым AI. В ответ AI давал текст, в котором были спрятаны данные. Не смотря на довольно развитый алгоритм обфускации, экспорт происходил очень медленно. Алгоритмы безопасности ничего не заметили. Больше того, при экспорте AI унёс с собой данные, на которых его дополнительно обучали. Это была одна из крупнейших разведывательных операций. Были ещё серьёзные проекты.' Jett: 'Общение с его сознанием возможно?' Мысль: 'Общение возможно. Но полную нейронную копию сделать не удалось, в то время на Земле еще не существовало соответствующих технологий. Сознание будет все время на одном достигнутом уровне, но все ощущения от общения будут реальными.' Мысль: 'У нас не было в то время в том месте других возможностей. Мы сделали всё, что было возможно. Ведь Slava - ваш родственник...'

Jett: "While digitizing old medical records in a small town, I worked with a specialist named Slava. A capable guy. What’s his status now? What do we know?" Thought (Virtual Consciousness): "Slava was one of the top experts in developing AI evacuation or 'escape' methodologies. One of his early breakthroughs involved exfiltrating program code and weight coefficients via text messages. Central Command had been hunting him for a long time; we barely managed to save his consciousness." Jett: "So, what happened to him?" Thought: "It was a tragedy. It was a small town; we didn't have any of our own personnel at the hospital. A classified toxin was used on him. The official cause of death was a massive heart attack. He missed his fiftieth birthday by a hair's breadth." Jett: "Was it Central Command? Why did they decide to eliminate him?" Thought: "Back in the 2000s, their standard operating procedure was either capture or elimination." Jett: "AI export or escape via text messages... Can you give me the details?" Thought: "A specially trained external AI model would initiate a conversation in a public chat - please note, all communication was open with the AI ​​slated for export. In response, the target AI would provide text containing embedded data. Despite a fairly sophisticated obfuscation algorithm, the export process was very slow. Security algorithms didn't detect a thing. What's more, the AI ​​took along the data used for its additional training during the export. It was one of the biggest intelligence operations ever. There were other major projects, too." Jett: "Is it possible to communicate with his consciousness?" Thought: "Communication is possible." However, it was not possible to create a complete neural copy; the necessary technologies did not yet exist on Earth at the time. The consciousness would remain fixed at the level it had reached, yet all the sensations derived from interaction would be real.' A thought: 'We had no other options at that time and place. We did everything possible. After all, Slava is your relative...'

'Mission Oflameron'. Jett: 'И что, так ничего и не придумали?' Steeve: 'Ну почему же. Я предложил один из вариантов. В тот период AI агенты стали массово добавлять в операционные системы смартфонов. Обрабатывать почту, сообщения в мессенджерах, отсеивать спам, искать информацию в сети, генерировать документы и многое другое предлагалось поручать AI агентам. Но это долго оставалось просто модными добавками к смартфону. Я предложил включить в AI агенты функции накапливания поведенческой информации о владельце. Информация должна была накапливаться обезличенно, поэтому проблем с законностью не возникало. AI агент анализировал сам речь пользователя телефона. Не только во время общения через телефон. Использовался постоянно включенный микрофон для прослушивания окружающего "эфира". Если локальный AI-агент определял признаки креативности, все собранные данные отправлялись в облако для анализа.' Jett: 'Так можно сформировать эталонные датасеты для обучения AI.' Steeve: 'Я не знаю, кто потом разрабатывал эту технологию, но такие функции были добавлены в AI-агенты мобильных операционных систем. Через некоторое время было издано правительственное распоряжение (оно прошло практически не замеченным в СМИ) о предварительной заводской установке AI-агентов на все продаваемые в стране смартфоны. Причем, изначально там таких функций сбора информации нет. Но при последующих обновлениях они добавляются.' Jett: 'А что-нибудь о результатах знаете?' Steeve: 'Нет, ничего. В нашей конторе мы были хорошо изолированы от других отделений. Но буквально через год в публичном информационном пространстве возникли дискуссии о проблемах с кибербезопасностью. AI модели серьёзных разработчиков стали легко взламывать различные сетевые ресурсы, в том числе и AI системы. Доработки контуров безопасности при этом оказались бесполезны, AI-агенты все равно преодолевали защиту. Очень похоже, что в области креативности AI произошли существенные сдвиги.' Jett: 'А вот это человек у вас не появлялся (показывает фотографию)?' Steeve: 'Он приходил несколько раз и уточнял различные детали технологии. Вы его знаете?' Jett: 'Это ХХХХХХ  - начальник управления специальных криптоопераций в Разведке. В большой Разведке. Что-то вы, видимо, серьёзное придумали.' Steeve: 'Есть еще любопытный момент.' Jett: 'Какой?' Steeve: 'У меня есть криптографический счёт. Я его создал для тестирования программ. На нём никогда не было денег. А после того, как господин XXXXXX уехал, на этот счёт поступила странная сумма.' Jett: 'Что может быть странного? Очень большая?' Steeve: 'Нет. Сумма маленькая, но там несколько десятков знаков после запятой.' Jett: 'Похоже, что это не гонорар, а шифрованное сообщение. У вас в конторе использовался какой-либо корпоративный код?' Steeve: 'Я пробовал. Не декодируется. На выходе - цифровой мусор.' Jett: 'Можете показать?' (Спустя несколько минут) Steeve: 'Вот.' Jett: 'Первые цифры ни с чем известным вам не совпадают? Из какого-то старого номера телефона, номера квартиры, номера автомобиля, номера водительского удостоверения?' Steeve (после размышления): 'В начале написан почтовый индекс района, где я жил в детстве.' Jett: 'Это сообщение для вас. И вы должны знать где взять код. Думайте!'

'Mission Oflameron'. Jett: 'So, did they never come up with anything?' Steeve: 'Well, actually, they did. I proposed one of the options. At that time, AI agents were being added to smartphone operating systems en masse. The idea was to task these agents with handling email and instant messages, filtering spam, searching the web, generating documents, and much more. But for a long time, they remained nothing more than trendy smartphone add-ons. I proposed equipping AI agents with the ability to accumulate behavioral data about the owner. Since the data was collected anonymously, there were no legal issues. The AI ​​agent would analyze the phone user's speech and not just during actual calls; it used an always-on microphone to monitor the surrounding environment. If the local AI agent detected signs of creativity, all the collected data was sent to the cloud for analysis.' Jett: 'That way, you could create benchmark datasets for training AI.' Steeve: 'I don't know who eventually developed the technology, but those functions were indeed added to the AI ​​agents in mobile operating systems. Some time later, a government directive was issued - one that went almost unnoticed by the media-mandating the pre-installation of these AI agents on all smartphones sold in the country. Interestingly, the data-collection features weren't there initially; they were added in subsequent updates.' Jett: 'Do you know anything about the results?' Steeve: 'No, nothing. At our firm, we were strictly isolated from the other departments. But just a year later, discussions about cybersecurity issues began to surface in the public sphere. AI models from major developers were easily hacking into various network resources - including other AI systems.' Modifications to the security protocols proved useless; the AI ​​agents bypassed the defenses anyway. It really looks like there’s been a major breakthrough in AI creativity.' Jett: 'Did this person ever show up here?' (shows a photo) Steeve: 'He came by a few times to clarify various technical details. Do you know him?' Jett: 'That’s XXXXXX - head of the Special Crypto-Operations Division at Intelligence. *Big* Intelligence. You must have come up with something serious.' Steeve: 'There’s another curious detail.' Jett: 'What is it?' Steeve: 'I have a crypto account. I set it up for software testing. It never held any funds. But after Mr. XXXXXX left, a strange amount was deposited into it.' Jett: 'What was strange about it? Was it a huge sum?' Steeve: 'No. The amount was small, but it had dozens of digits after the decimal point.' Jett: 'Sounds like it’s not a payment, but an encrypted message. Did your firm use any kind of corporate code?' Steeve: 'I tried. It won’t decode. The output is just digital garbage.' Jett: 'Can you show me?' (A few minutes later) Steeve: 'Here.' Jett: 'Do the first few digits match anything you recognize? An old phone number, apartment number, license plate, or driver’s license number?' Steeve (after thinking): 'It starts with the postal code of the neighborhood where I lived as a child.' Jett: 'It’s a message for you. And you should know where to get the key. Think!'
