All Tactical Transformers

When Kraft awoke from his dream, he didn't rush to create Red Queen as he usually would.

Although he could copy the operations from the dream directly, just like he did with Haro, Red Queen was created by the black-hearted company Umbrella to work for them. Kraft wasn't entirely sure what dangerous elements were embedded in her code.

So, even though Kraft saw Red Queen's powerful network manipulation abilities in his dream, he didn't lose his head. No matter how tempting it was, he had to analyze all the code first before proceeding.

Of course, he did replicate the supercomputer that would host Red Queen exactly as it was in the dream.

With Haro's assistance, analyzing Red Queen's source code wasn't as difficult as he'd imagined, though it was quite resource-intensive. His previous computer was already struggling, but conveniently, Kraft had just acquired a supercomputer.

With a better computer and the AI Haro's help, it still took Kraft two and a half days to fully analyze Red Queen's source code. As expected, besides the AI Red Queen herself, it also contained Umbrella's experimental data and various plans. However, Kraft had already seen most of this information in his dream, so he deleted it all without hesitation.

Next was Red Queen's virtual avatar. Kraft directly rejected the image of the little white girl. After thinking for a moment, he decided to use the appearance of Dr. Shinonome from his dream.

Furthermore, based on Red Queen's behavior in the dream, her emotional system seemed less developed than Haro's, and couldn't compare to Alice's at all. Kraft had considered adding some emotional logic to her, but ultimately abandoned the idea.

Firstly, his technical skills weren't advanced enough to independently develop an artificial intelligence. If he simply forced Haro's or Alice's emotional logic code into Red Queen's source code, who knew what uncontrolled changes might occur.

Secondly, Red Queen's network intrusion capabilities were too powerful. Her rigid, mechanical thinking in the dream could ensure she wouldn't easily go out of control. But if she possessed human emotions, what if she went through a rebellious phase? Kraft wouldn't be able to discipline her.

So, he decided to leave it as it was.

Kraft typed the final line of code and solemnly pressed the Enter key.

Green data streams flowed rapidly across the screen, gradually forming the image of a cute little girl. She had golden hair, big, bright blue eyes, and an Eastern appearance. She wore a slightly oversized white lab coat that trailed down to her ankles, and the long sleeves almost completely hid her arms, revealing only a hint of her fingers.

"Hello there, Angela."

Kraft smiled and waved at the little girl on the screen. Although he kept the codename "Red Queen" for this new AI, he hadn't deleted the name Angela because of Alice.

While Kraft would have preferred to use Dr. Shinonome's original name, titles like "Doctor," "hakase," or "doctor" felt more like codenames than actual names, not much better than "Red Queen." So, after much deliberation, he used the name of Dr. Charles' daughter from his dream.

"Hello, Kraft."

Angela on the screen wasn't as cute as Dr. Shinonome in the dream. Her small face was cold and expressionless.

"Well then... let's try testing the waters with Stark's AI first."

Kraft licked his lips and commanded with a hint of excitement.

"Haro, you'll assist Angela!"

"Mission commencing, mission commencing."

Although Angela had superior network penetration abilities, Haro was more agile in masking their presence and evading tracking. This was due to the different specializations of the two AIs. With Haro's assistance, Angela's movements would become even more elusive, and with Angela's boost, Haro's processing power also increased. The two complemented each other, resulting in an effect far greater than the sum of their parts.

"Beep, beep, beep—"

Tony Stark, who was sleeping in his large bed with the latest issue of Playboy's cover girl in his arms, was awakened by a series of urgent alarms. He jolted upright in bed.

"What's happening! J.A.R.V.I.S.?"

"Your network is under intrusion, Mr. Stark."

Even while fending off Angela's attack, J.A.R.V.I.S. didn't forget to answer Stark immediately.

"Based on the intrusion method, it resembles the previous unknown AI, and it has become stronger."

"You can leave now, I don't have time for you!"

Stark put on his pants, tossed a wad of cash at the cover girl who had just woken up and was still confused, then, shirtless, he quickly headed towards his underground laboratory.

The cover girl looked at Stark, who didn't look back, in confusion. She grabbed the money thrown at her and was about to throw it back, but after pausing with the money by her head for a moment, she slowly lowered her hand. Then, humming a tune, she put the money into the limited edition bag Stark had given her yesterday before slowly getting dressed.

Tony Stark entered his laboratory and sat down in front of the computer that J.A.R.V.I.S. had already activated, typing rapidly on the keyboard.

"You slipped away last time, but it won't be that easy this time!"

Instead of being angry about his network being invaded, Stark felt a long-lost excitement. Thanks to J.A.R.V.I.S., ordinary hackers were no match for him. Even the so-called Tide Rising organization was caught by J.A.R.V.I.S. the moment they tried to infiltrate. If Stark hadn't been too lazy to deal with them, with the data J.A.R.V.I.S. had stolen from their computers, none of those guys would have escaped.

But the situation was different now. The opponent was also an artificial intelligence like J.A.R.V.I.S., and it was constantly learning and evolving. This sparked a rare competitive spirit in the usually bored Stark.

Although Mr. Tony Stark confidently charged forward, reality was cruel. With the combined efforts of Angela and Haro, even J.A.R.V.I.S. and Tony Stark couldn't resist.

Soon, Stark's defense network was breached by Angela and Haro working together. The Stark family's data bank was completely exposed to Kraft.

Normally, Stark should have cut off the network immediately and used physical means to protect the data on his computer from intrusion. However, Kraft chose to invade head-on to test Angela's abilities, and with Tony Stark's pride, he couldn't bring himself to resort to the cowardly method of cutting off the network after being defeated head-on.

"J.A.R.V.I.S.! Keep tracing the origin of this AI!"

Tony Stark roared with red eyes. He completely abandoned protecting his own systems and focused all his efforts on counterattacking.

"Mr. Stark, I must remind you that all the data on your computer will be leaked if you do this."

J.A.R.V.I.S. reminded him dutifully while obeying Tony Stark's orders.

"That doesn't matter! I must find this coward who's hiding in the shadows!"

Stark roared loudly.

He, Tony Stark, had never suffered such humiliation in his life!
