News that the world's first artificial intelligence had been successfully developed quickly spread from Dawn Company headquarters to the residence of Orb's Supreme Leader.
The moment the Minister of Defense learned of it, he immediately realized its revolutionary significance for the military and promptly gave Allen a ten-minute report.
After making a few preparations, Allen took Cagalli aboard a special plane from Arphas Island, where the capital was located, to the Secret Base where the artificial intelligence had been developed.
To avoid alerting the outside world, the visiting party was very small, consisting only of a few military generals, along with the Archangel's captain—Murrue—and combat commander—Nataru Bagiru.
When they arrived before the supercomputer built specifically for the artificial intelligence, the project leader immediately launched into an endless explanation, recounting the entire development process in an excited tone.
He especially emphasized Kira's irreplaceable and crucial role in it.
In the end, the Minister of Defense could not help interrupting the lengthy explanation, eight out of every ten sentences of which contained technical terms he could not understand at all. He asked bluntly, "Has the artificial intelligence you developed been run yet?"
"Uh—not yet. We've only finished debugging all the programs. Actually starting it requires government authorization." The person in charge scratched his head awkwardly.
Because he was not entirely sure what would happen after the program was activated.
After all, this was the world's first artificial intelligence with a human-brain-like capacity for independent thought.
The previous debugging could only be considered a warm-up. What came next was the real show.
"Then what are we waiting for? Start it already. I'll authorize you right now." As he spoke, Allen handed over the documents he had prepared in advance.
The moment the person in charge received them, he did not waste another word.
