Chapter 1

On the day you first built Caliban, you awoke from a dream about a robot Anubis to head to the lab. Your graduate school advisor pressured you to make Caliban more acceptable to the military. After some back and forth, you ended up making a wooden winged robot with a panoptic head and a gun for an arm.

Then you went back to your place to teach Caliban some words.

Chapter 2

The next day, you hooked up Caliban's car battery and demoed for Air Force Captain Juliet Rogers. You then spent the afternoon perfecting Caliban's motor control and parts.

As months passed, you became busy teaching Caliban about the world through movies and taking him to the range. Your funding from DARPA kept you in Professor Ziegler's good graces during this time.

In time, Mark Ali, a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, heard about Caliban and asked for an interview. You refused, but suspected Mark might try to run his story anyway.

Chapter 3

Mark wrote an article that was generally negative about you and Caliban. When Professor Ziegler found out about the article, he was very displeased, but decided that the most effective way to get you out of his hair was to let you graduate.

Mark's article also attracted the attention of one "robotObsession1987," known in real life as Tammy Cooper. In response to her death threat, you made the first move: you and Caliban went to San Jose and killed her that very night. A month or so later, you received your doctorate. Shortly thereafter, your father passed away. You resolved then to work on better medical technology that could save people like your father in the future.

You decided the best way to change the world was to start a business, which you named CalibanWorks.

Chapter 4

Your first potential client for CalibanWorks was the U.S. government -- the Air Force, to be precise. They were happy with the state of your technology, and gave you a contract that allowed you to purchase a factory. That allowed you to build a robot factory in Alaska. You decided to use your own robots for your workforce, but leave humans in supervisory roles. When you finally shipped robots to the Air Force, they were pleased with the robots you delivered. Your company did well enough that you were able to drive your former friend Josh out of business.

Your business suffered a blow when Chinese companies, aided by Chinese government hackers, began to steal your technology.

You were visited by a politician, Jacqueline Irons, who asked for a campaign donation. You gave a significant donation, and Irons won the presidency. The newly elected President enacted a series of protectionist bills that ultimately made China angry, and they cut off the U.S. supply of rare earths. The tensions between the United States and China came to a head with the assassination of the Chinese Prime Minister in San Francisco. War followed shortly thereafter.

Chapter 5

You decided to have CalibanWorks sell robots to the military. An agent came to your place to try to get you to lure Elly there, because she was suspected of being a spy. A man identifying himself as "Mr. Sun" hacked his way into one of your robots to ask you to defect. You did not.

In the end, America won the war through a display of nuclear force. Angry at President Irons for her handling of the war, you began a rebellion in Alaska.

Chapter 6C

For five years, you waged a rebellion against the United States, ordering your robot soldiers from deep within an abandoned mine under Mount Hesperus. When Mark started reporting your troop movements, you had Caliban assassinate him. When Juliet opposed you, you had her killed. China offered its support, which you gratefully accepted.

Your robots successfully conquered Alaska. You renamed the place Darwinia and took over.

Chapter 7

In 2049, you went to Surprise, Arizona to surprise your mother with a gift for the holidays. You learned it was your surgical technology that had kept her alive this long. On returning to Palo Alto, you had a brief stroke, followed by a vision of a robot Anubis -- the same one you saw thirty years before. In the hospital, the doctor told you you had Algernon's Disease, a rare disease that increased your intelligence, but came at the price of increasing seizures, comas, and possibly, death.

You chose to replace the malfunctioning part of your brain with an artificial neural network. You survived the surgery, thanks to your own robot surgical technology. You then got a pretty boring ending for not having done much remarkable. Maybe you should try again?
