Q4W4CW2 : Brainstorming and Outline #2 Topic #3 Hamza Salah

Hamza Rakaiby

Introduction:

Hook: At first, everyone thought that extremely advanced technology and mass biochemical
industrialization was in human favor, I mean you can literally create anything, from your favorite
foods by using a chemically based machine that generates food in seconds, or even hire
multibillionaire robots to build whatever is on your mind. It all went down from there.

Thesis: Not everything you think is good for you, is always going to be good for you, remember
people die in darkness so you can live in light.

Chapter 1: The Source

Topic Sentence: What began as progress became control. If you thought the world stopped
evolving that’s just the scientists hiding it well, the world is always evolving weather its
backwards or forwards. The biotech industries stopped serving the people, they only selected the
ones who benefited them. They began selecting what food you could eat. What dreams you were
permitted to have. What children you were permitted to raise. The algorithms weren't just
predictive. They were directive. By 2079, machines could dream faster than the human brain.
Cities were grown, not built. Protein sequencers the size of coffee mugs fed entire nations with
lab grown precision. Energy was pulled from air, thoughts sculpted into physical constructs, and
death. well, death was postponed. At least for those who could afford the subscription.

Detail 1: It took years before anyone noticed the pattern. Those who did disappeared into the test
sites, offices with no names, men with no IDs. One by one, thinkers vanished. Writers,
dissenters, architects of deviation, all gone. The foundation chose only whom their own
machines chose to work with them, and if you were lucky or unlucky enough, you were elected
to work with the big group that caused the big pattern.

Detail 2: Only those who worked for the foundation knew where the all the sites were, and they
all believed in one thing, worshiping the 0-5 council, the ones responsible for all this. But Dexter
Morgan never believed in utopias. Officially, He worked as a clinical systems auditor for the
ARC Foundation part analyst, part forensic technician. he was tasked with identifying anomalous
behavior in smart infrastructure. Unofficially, He dissected test subject’s corpses, and illegally
filing blood sampled of every test subject that the foundation had created. It was unknown why
the foundation made that many ARC subjects, but it was rumored they were taking orders from
the 0-5 council. The overseers of the ARC foundation. The 0-5 council is composed out of
thirteen the best and the smartest people of the foundation, some are humans, and some are test
subjects, but all have one thing in common, is the outstanding immortality and intelligence no
one else has, also the amount of power and money they hold.

Chapter 2: Insurgency Gambit

Detail 1: It started with a hidden file in a server room under ARC Sector 9. The file wasn’t just
locked. It was buried. Like it was never meant to be found. It was called Project VANTAGE.
Nobody talked about it. It had no name in the database, no backup, no trace. But Dexter opened
it anyway. Dexter even searched it in the terminal but found nothing with the same name, so he
thought it probably was an inside joke made by the Red Right Hand, a specialist force with
blacklisted weapons and night vision goggles to protect sector 9, where most of the tests and new
species are being made, its also where the 0-5 councils administration office is located.

Detail 2: Inside the file were secret plans. Maps. Codes. Files from old projects that were
supposed to be shut down. And a name Rita Bennet. Dexter did research on that name and turns
out she was part of a D-class personnel, which is one of the many test subjects to manifest those
new creatures, which are called ARC-(followed with their number) like ARC-001, an anomaly
that looks like a dog, but can fly. People thought she died. But why was her name on the file?
And who made the file? The files were more like stuff that the foundation knew, so someone out
of the foundation knows or is trying to know the foundations protocol.

Detail 3: Dexter followed the map to the place that was highlighted in the map and lead him to a
place called theta, it’s a site or a city that the foundation build but later abandoned it because of
the weather circumstances. He found people, D-class guarding the abandoned city, why would
they guard an abandoned city? The D-class personnel, some of them were failed test subjects,
and some of them whom worked for the foundation. It was wrong for the foundation to use
humans for test subjects, but Dexter heard thumping underground, and he asked what that noise
was, turns out there was a huge underground ventilation system where these so called “Chaos
insurgency”. Dexter didn’t know what that meant but soon on he will.

Chapter 3: The Collapse Protocol

Topic: The Chaos Insurgency didn’t trust anyone. But Dexter showed them the file. The virus
inside it wasn’t just made to destroy ARC it was made to wake people up. It could break through
ARCs dream system and show people what was really happening around them. Potentially even
breaching all the test subjects to surge chaos to the foundation that is promoting the death of
valuable human beings just to try to add to the 0-5 council of highly intelligent humans and
anomalies, with that much power, money, and greed, its easy to go to corruption.

Detail 1: the CI took Dexter in because even though he knew all the steps to the downfall of the
foundation he didn’t expose them, Dexter never believed in the foundation anyway, he always
felt like an out stander and didn’t like the foundations work ethic.

Detail 2: The Black Signal started small. They hacked ARC’s systems and showed short clips in
people’s dream feeds. A memory. A warning. A face. At first, people thought it was a glitch.
Then entire blocks lost power. Food printers stopped working. ARC blamed it on a software
update. But inside the ARC Foundation, the 0-5 council knew what was going on. The virus was
working. Their perfect system was starting to shake. Dexter was inside. And now, they had to
find him before the whole system fell apart.

Detail 3: Dexter knew they would come for him. That’s why he never stayed in one place. He
moved through the old cities, places the council forgot. He sent out pieces of the virus in broken
machines, old phones, even hacked vending systems. People started waking up. Not all at once,
but enough. Enough to fight back.

The Black Signal wasn’t just a group anymore. It became an idea. A movement. Some ARC
workers turned against the council. Some test subjects broke free. They didn’t want control
anymore. They wanted choice.

The council panicked. They deployed something worse than drones Units. ARCs private guards,
half-human, half-machine, trained to kill and never ask questions. They didn’t just target rebels.
They targeted anyone who remembered anything before ARC.

But Dexter had one final move. Deep inside ARCs oldest tower, there was a backup server the
Core. It held the original version of the world, before the dream systems, before the control. If
Dexter could get there, he could upload the full virus. He could shut ARC down forever.

But it was guarded. And he was running out of time. THE REST OF THIS HAYKOON FEL
DRAFT

Conclusion: The Resolve

In the end, it wasn’t just about technology. It was about power. The ARC Foundation promised a
perfect world, but they forgot one thing people aren’t meant to be perfect. They’re meant to feel,
to choose, to fail, and to grow. Dexter never wanted to be a hero. He just didn’t want to be a
slave. He reached the Core, bleeding, tired, and alone. The council tried to stop him, but they
were too late. The virus went live. One by one, the systems shut down. The dreamscape
shattered. The cities woke up. ARC didn’t fall in fire or explosions. It fell in silence. Like a bad
dream fading after sunrise. ARC didn’t fall in fire or explosions. It fell in silence. Like a bad
dream fading after sunrise. But freedom is messy. It’s hard. And it’s real.
