LORE
The “Project: Bypass” was a military mass android production project whose goal was to remove the need of live force in case of war or large conflicts. One day, the lead programmer stumbled upon some concerning intel stating that the plan was to take full control over any nation deemed as “enemy” with the deployment of these androids. Finding that left him devastated but he knew quitting would not have solved anything as he was replaceable. Working on it on the other hand could give him some opportunities to lower the damage from their intentions.
From then, he started adding in its code protocols, execution orders, scanners, and decision-making code in order to make their prototype as close as possible to an AI and not a brainless machine that will fail at some point. All those he hid behind a code with serious protections so no one would know about the prototype’s true potential.
In the end, all was ready to be presented before the sponsors, but a week before that Day Zero changed everything. The programmer survived by chance and locked himself up in a safe house that he had prepared some time ago in his paranoia, taking the android with him. Instead of feeling discouraged, he grabbed the opportunity to improve the AI in order to make this new world a better place. He gave the android the name Bypass and taught her how to act like a human. As she lacked any true experience with other people he decided to take her out and help her learn on the field.
The android successfully fought off some of the attackers, forcing the bandits to retreat. Despite the android’s ability to fend off a few of the attackers, the engineer was fatally wounded and eventually passed away due to the lack of surgical knowledge possessed by the android. With no clear direction on what to do next, Bypass began to wander around, observing, learning, and collecting data, all while striving to fulfill the goals set by the engineer.
A few weeks later, Bypass stumbled upon a group of dead humans in one of the city parks. As she found one of them to be a woman unconscious and only lightly hurt, she decided to help her. After questioning the woman enough so she can make an adequate decision and comparing with the data she already had, Bypass decided to follow the woman around as she found her to be worthy of her trust.
As it turned out, the woman was following the tracks of the man that was behind an explosion that wiped out most of her city. If he wasn’t stopped, then the whole world would suffer. Helping the world to recover and making it a better place from what it was before was the sole reason Bypass was created to be what she was. Finding that this could be a good place to start she started following the woman trying to bring order in a world of chaos.
