Samantha, Mark, and Torez are seated in a conference room, facing the AI. They are concerned about the Moon's defenses against any assault. Space-Corp has installed a solar cannon. No shuttle could land on the Moon to save the children so they need a strategy to disable the cannon.
Samantha: "AI, we need your help to develop a plan to disable the solar cannon on the Moon."
AI: "I am here to assist you in any way that I can," the AI says.
Mark: "We know that the solar cannon is heavily defended," he says. "We need to find a way to disable it without being detected."
Torez: "And we need to do it quickly," she says. "The children are in danger."
The AI nods. "I understand," it says. "I will do my best to help you develop a successful plan."
The AI begins to analyze the data that it has on the solar cannon and its defenses. It also begins to simulate different scenarios to see what might work best.
Samantha, Mark, and Torez watch as the AI works. They are impressed by its speed and efficiency.
Samantha: "This is amazing," she says. "The AI is able to do things that we could never do on our own."
Mark: "That's right," he says. "We're lucky to have it on our side."
Torez: "I agree," she says. "The AI is our best chance of disabling the solar cannon and saving the children."
After a few minutes, the AI stops working. It looks up at Samantha, Mark, and Torez.
AI: "I have developed a plan," it says. "I believe that it has a good chance of success."
Samantha, Mark, and Torez lean forward eagerly. They are eager to hear the AI's plan.
AI: "My plan is to send three drones to the Moon," it says. "Each drone will be equipped with an EMP charge. The drones will fly to the solar cannon and release their EMP charges, disabling the cannon."
Mork: "That's a good plan," he says. "But how will the drones get past the solar cannon's defenses?"
AI: "I have identified a vulnerability in the solar cannon's security system," the AI says. "The drones will be able to exploit this vulnerability to gain access to the solar cannon."
Torez: "What about the EMP charges?" she asks. "How will they disable the solar cannon?"
AI: "The EMP charges will generate a powerful electromagnetic pulse," the AI says. "This pulse will damage or disable electronic devices within its range. The solar cannon is a complex electronic device, so it is very likely that the EMP charges will disable it."
Samantha, Mark, and Torez are impressed with the AI's plan. It is well-thought-out and has a good chance of success.
Samantha: "This is a great plan, AI," she says. "Thank you for your help."
Mark: "I agree," he says. "We couldn't have done it without you."
Torez: "Thank you, AI," she says. "We're one step closer to defeating SpaceCorp and saving the children."
Samantha, Mark, and Torez begin to prepare for the mission. They know that it will be dangerous, but they are determined to succeed. They have the AI on their side, and they know that it will give them the edge they need to defeat SpaceCorp.
Samantha, Mark, and Torez are seated in the space mission control room on Earth, monitoring the operations to disable the solar cannon on the Moon. DeLuca and his assault team are preparing to launch a shuttle to follow the three drones.
Samantha: "The drones are approaching the Moon," she says. "They're on track to deliver their EMP charges in about 10 hours."
Mark: "Good," he says. "The shuttle is ready to launch in 30 minutes."
Torez: "We need to make sure that the shuttle gets to the Moon before the solar cannon can be repaired," she says.
Samantha: "I agree," he says. "We're going to have to use maximum acceleration."
The shuttle launches and begins its journey to the Moon. Samantha, Mark, and Torez watch as the shuttle accelerates away from Earth.
They took turns monitoring the flight. After several hours they are all back in the control room. Samantha, Mark, and Torez are seated in the space mission control room, monitoring the operations to disable the solar cannon on the Moon. The AI is also present in the control room.
Samantha: "The solar cannon has destroyed the first drone."
Mark: "We have expected this shut"
Samantha: "The other drones keep going, the solar canon is targeting the second drone."
Mark: "Let's hope it misses this time"
Samantha: "Oh no, there are two antimissile launchings. I'm releasing the flairs"
Mark: "Good thinking Samantha"
Samantha: "The drones are getting closer, the antimissile has failed"
Mark: "Will the cannon shut a second time?"
Samantha: "I'm not sure why they are not firing yet"
AI: "If they fire, our shuttle will be out of danger. There is no time to recharge, the shuttle will be able to land on the moon in 20 minutes. That's why they do not fire the cannon a second time"
Samantha: "Two new antimissiles are launching"
Tores start praying: "Señor, te pido ayuda. Necesitamos rescatar a los niños y derrotar a SpaceCorp. Sabemos que es una tarea difícil, pero confiamos en ti. Por favor, danos la sabiduría y la fuerza que necesitamos para tener éxito."
Samantha: "The second drone is destroyed," she says. "We're down to our last one."
Mark: "It's getting closer," he says. "But the solar cannon's defenses are heavy."
Tarez: "The drone needs to get just a little bit closer," she says. "Then it can release its EMP charge."
The last drone continues to fly toward the solar cannon. It's getting closer and closer.
Samantha: "It's almost there," she says. "I engage the evasive maneuvers programmed by AI"
Mark: "Yes!" he says. "It's made it! The second antimissile missed. Good job Samatha. "
The last drone releases its EMP charge. The solar cannon goes dark.
Torez: "We did it!" she says. "We disabled the solar cannon!"
Samantha, Mark, and Torez cheer. They have successfully disabled the solar cannon, paving the way for the rescue of the children.
Torez closes her eyes and begins to pray in Spanish: "Señor, te damos gracias por este día. Gracias por ayudarnos a desactivar el cañón solar. Gracias por proteger a nuestros drones y a nuestro equipo."
AI: "I told you I was good," the AI says. "I'm the best AI there is."
Mark: "Yes, you are," he says. "We couldn't have done it without you."
Torez: "Thank you, AI," she says. "We're very grateful for your help."
AI: "You're welcome," the AI says. "But don't forget to give me all the credit for this mission's success."
Samantha, Mark, and Torez chuckle. They know that the AI is proud of itself, and they're happy to give it credit for its role in the mission.
Samantha: "Okay, AI," she says. "You're the best. But now it's time to get to work."
Mark: "That's right," he says. "We need to rescue the children."
AI: "And don't forget to thank me again later," the AI says.
Samantha, Mark, and Torez smile. They know that the AI is just being silly, and they don't mind. They're just grateful that the mission was a success.
DeLuca and his assault team land on the Moon and approach the heavily guarded facility. They are prepared for a fight, but nobody fires at them. They advance without opposition and enter the facility.
The facility is huge, and they begin to search for the children. They check every room and every corridor, but they don't find anyone.
DeLuca: "This doesn't make any sense," he says. "The facility is supposed to be full of children, but it's deserted."
Soldier 1: "Maybe they moved the children to another location," she says.
Soldier 2: "Or maybe SpaceCorp evacuated the facility when they saw our shuttle approaching," he says.
DeLuca: "We need to keep looking," he says. "We can't give up now."
DeLuca and his team continue to search the facility, but they still don't find anyone. They are starting to get worried. Where could the children be?
DeLuca: "Maybe we should call mission control and let them know what's going on," he says.
Soldier 1: "That's a good idea," she says.
DeLuca contacts mission control and tells them about the situation. Samantha, Mark, and Torez are shocked to hear that the facility is empty.
Samantha: "I don't understand," she says. "Where could the children be?"
Mark: "Maybe SpaceCorp moved them to a secret location," he says.
Tarez: "Or maybe they're being held hostage somewhere else," she says.
Samantha: "We need to find them," she says. "We can't give up on them."
Samantha, Mark, and Torez begin to brainstorm ideas for how to find the children. They know that it will be difficult, but they are determined to succeed.
DeLuca: "We're still searching the facility," he says. "But I don't think we're going to find anything here."
Samantha: "Okay, DeLuca," she says. "We're working on a plan to find the children. We'll be in touch soon."
DeLuca and his team continue to search the facility, but they still don't find anything. They are starting to lose hope.
Soldier 1: "What if we don't find the children?" she asks.
Soldier 2: "I don't know," he says. "But we have to keep trying."
DeLuca and his team continue to search the facility, even though they are starting to lose hope. They know that the children are out there somewhere, and they are determined to find them.
To be continued ... where are the children?
