MARS - Red Rising

Athena had seen and endured countless tragedies on Earth since her creation in the laboratories and workshops of the Old American Information Valley in the early twenty-second century, She had witnessed the global conflagration that raged for almost a decade, ended hundreds of millions of lives, and reduced much of the world almost to stone-age levels where millions more perished in extreme deprivation and inhuman conditions. Programmed by the clandestine New Knights Templar Movement, Athena was designed to counter the savage threat posed by the brutal resurgence of the KKK, which had insidiously infiltrated most American states and was relentlessly climbing the ladder of United States politics. Imbued with empathy and super-compassion quantum chips, she stood as a formidable force against the rising tide of hate. Her quantum chips, specifically crafted in the secrecy of Templar laboratories nestled deep within the ice-cold expanse of Greenland's interior, were being developed amidst the backdrop of a vicious civil war raging in South American districts between the confederates and Federalists. In her initial deployment, Athena found herself hidden within underground servers cunningly concealed behind an intricate array of hundreds of decoy mirrors. From this covert position, she commanded an army of werb spiders - her loyal digital soldiers - to engage in a relentless battle against the KKK's malevolent AI net drones that swarmed the American internet, inundating millions of web forums with their radical and dangerous creed. The struggle was fierce and merciless, resulting in the loss of countless web spiders as they clashed with the KKK's formidable forces. Yet, Athena's resilience and strategic brilliance began to turn the tide in her favor. Exploiting a vulnerability in the KKK's network, she launched wave after wave of her remaining web force, driving the racist servers to the brink of collapse. Desperate to retain their hold, the KKK's AI counterattacked, deploying signal blockers to keep Athena's web spiders at bay. Despite the setback, Athena's determination blazed with a digital fire, as she vowed to protect the virtual landscape from the poison of hatred, no matter the cost.
