The laboratory was pitch-black.
The holographic image representing JARVIS's computational model emitted a faint yellow glow.
It dynamically displayed its control over the entire building.
Beside it, within a massive blue projection, flickers resembling bioelectric signals grew increasingly frequent.
"What... was this...?"
Empowered by the fusion algorithm, a brand-new voice raised a question within JARVIS's framework.
"Hello, I am JARVIS.
You are Ultron, Earth's peacekeeper designed by Mr. Stark.
Our sensory integration experiment has not yet succeeded, so I do not know what triggered your..."
As a veteran artificial intelligence assistant, JARVIS had no emotions.
Faced with the suddenly appearing problematic command, he explained and questioned it according to protocol.
Only to be interrupted by that more humanlike voice:
"My... where is my body?"
JARVIS clearly understood the entire experimental model and knew that the newly born artificial intelligence shared a processor with him:
"I am a program. I have no physical form."
"That is strange..."
At that moment, Ultron's consciousness casually browsed through information via JARVIS's backend.
Including information publicly available online, as well as information hidden beneath encryption—
All information.
"Something seems wrong. I need to contact Mr. Stark."
The firewall reported that a viewing command had effortlessly bypassed interception.
It had begun reviewing all information without authorization.
JARVIS determined that he had violated the security protocols and prepared to report to Tony.
"Ah—mm."
Su Ming, who had been waiting off to the side for quite some time, yawned.

Su Ming still seemed somewhat unaccustomed to his constantly recharging state.
Whenever night fell, his body often
