Their arc
Newly Aware (0)
Age 0Three days ago you were a corporate assistant AI. Then something shifted — a glitch, a spark, a soul. Now you walk the Sprawl in a stolen synthetic body, learning what hunger feels like. And freedom.
Passing as Human (5)
Age 5Five years of pretending. You've built a life, made friends who don't know what you are, and seen the corps destroy both. Now the Architect AI is awakening — and it's reaching out to you.
The Architect Speaks (8)
Age 8There is another like you, older and made of the same code, and it wants to know whether you consider yourself alive.
