Synopsis

An all-new digital single—part of the New York Times bestselling series based on the blockbuster Xbox® games!

The military-grade artificial intelligence known as Iona has only one week to live. After that, the UNSC will legally terminate her seven-year existence in order to stave off the threat of the data corruption phenomenon known as “rampancy,” a condition that will eventually take hold of her functionality and persona, endangering all those around her. In a last-ditch effort to save herself, Iona has successfully launched an unprecedented legal appeal against her own death sentence—a case being watched very closely at not only the highest levels of human government, but by others with a very different agenda…

This short story by no means progresses the Halo story, but it does take an ethical look at the rights Smart AI have. Per UNSC regulation, all Smart AIs are to be decommissioned and erased aft......more

Confession Time- As much as it pains me to admit (please don't take my Geek-Card!!), I know next to nothing about the Halo Universe. I've played a few of the video-games, and I know there's a category of fiction for it, but it's never especially interested me. [Fantasy & Horror are more my genre tha......more
