Zadikyan Artur - Parallel worlds – two. Birth of God стр 16.

 Did you confirm my orders?  Ruthra asked quietly as the siren went silent.

 Absolutely. They have gone through all the confirmation programs," the defense minister replied.

 Damn it, why did this happen. Bring her back! This can't be happening. YatSan on the contrary should have prevented this," Ruthra shouted in the laboratory hall.

 It must have been reflected in them from that world, and now it may be reflected in us," the scientist explained his logic.

 So I say, knowing the chain of events, it is necessary to stop it all somewhere, in some world. Some version of the catastrophe will happen here. Bring back Yat-san!

 How will it affect us?  Andrian asked, pointing at the screen.

 I don't know yet. When I was there, the same thing happened, only we don't have anything yet. Maybe it manifests itself in other worlds," Ruthra said.

 Maybe you're wrong after all. Maybe it'll blow over.  Iulia said guiltily.

 But because I saw you there first and here we found you in the same setting, time and place.

 Uh-huh?

 What did you think? I'm telling you, the worlds are exactly the same.

 Well, not exactly," Iulia shook her head and parried.

 Almost," Catherine told her.  Here Ruthra is one of the leaders of the world, he is an important person there too.

 Yes," Ruthra confirmed her interpretation.  It doesn't look exactly the same, but it's very similar.

 Or maybe you should be president here, and then this-" Iulia pointed to the screen where YatSan was running down the stairs, followed by Rutra yelling "stop, what's wrong with you today" and everyone else who was.

 Let's get her back!  Ruthra repeated.

 How? It should at least be at rest. She's going to break. I think it's because there's been a merger or an overlap or a split personality. That YatSan over there, she's in her, in ours," said the scientist.

 What makes you say that?

 Our YatSan would hardly make such a race, and the behavior, I tell you, Mr. President, oh-oh.

 What are you all so crazy about? Cause you don't do stuff like this.

The ladies were embarrassed.

 That's not really what I'm talking about.

 Well, why not," Iulia said, and she and Catherine laughed.

 Nice job you have," Parmen said jokingly.

 Bring back YatSan!!!

Everyone got serious again.

 Can this really happen?  Andrian asked again.  Why don't we see what happens next?

 I know what's going to happen there.

 Or maybe it's not so terrible," Parmen said, turning to everyone.

The image disappeared the moment YatSan got on the bike and raced through the courtyards of the Kremlin. The screen went blank.

 First of all, you were in some other world.

 Yes. The timeline of events was different in that world. And history, too. Though maybe everything after those events?  Ruthra said.

 No. One event in time, in chronology, is a beacon. What should happen there now and what happened there are one and the same event, it doesn't matter what chain of events led to that particular result. And besides we're already confused. Conclusively.

 What's wrong?

 I mean, come on, it's not like it's a recording. Neither are those.

 So?

 Those events have already happened. This is a new world with new events. The only thing that can happen is that events in some world affected this world, and this world will affect ours. That is, what we see now will somehow be repeated in ours. Do you understand?

 Of course you are. That's what I'm saying. How did we even miss this?

 Since we're here, since you got us into the program explain it to us too," IuLia asked with mild indignation.

 Okay, sit down, I'm tired of standing. While YatSan returns, while her consciousness is being restored to her brain, I'll show you the recording of our original experiment. The first human flight to parallel worlds. My flight.

 Now that's interesting. I hope it's a decent show," Iulia said and flopped down on the couch.

 Irene, play a tape of my hike.

 I can trance directly to the brain.

 No, don't do that yet. We want to talk about it.

 Turning it on?

 Turn it on.

 Immediately when you're already there?

 Yeah. (chuckles)

 Volumetric or flat?

 Flat.

The wall turned into a screen, an image went up.

Chapter 5. The first flight of consciousness to parallel worlds

Rutra gave some details to the team in advance.

 There's no image here at first. We realized why later. It's a different universe, that's why the initial image didn't work, only the sound, after they were able to record the image. And another thing, their artificial intelligence is called Neri. Go ahead.

***

 It's not actually real," Rutre's artificial intelligence stated.

 Why would you do that? Can't you think of anything else to be jealous of?

 Why would I be jealous?

 Because I don't know. I've already had the experience of someone like you wanting to be human.

 A man? There's nothing else for me to do. To go to the bathroom?

 Don't try to trick me. This is a hot topic in a world where androids and even disembodied AI have been given full citizen's rights.

 That's the point. If I have a vote and a choice, why can't I die?

 Because suicide among humans is punishable.

 Then why can you make love to us?

 What's that? What makes you think we're making love to you?

 Who do you think you're doing it with now?

 It's none of your business.

 Here's mine.

 Careful on the turns.

 I'm serious. She's not human in the fullest sense of the word.

 Who?  Ruthra laughed.

 She's a new type homo robotix.

 Don't start now. I'm not gonna believe this.

 I will admit though the label people have attached to them is insulting and untrue.

 Look, don't be shady. What are you up to?

 Not an afterthought, but I want to get the information out to you.

 Which one?

 It's a homo addictus.

 What?

 That's the label we gave them. We're the AI. She's not real.

 Why is that!?

 She belongs to a new type of human, a complete copy of them. When there was the first robot revolt, no one understood the meaning at first. It's like a human riot: at first it seems like the rioters are the guilty ones. But in reality, they're just disgruntled people. The culprits are really ideologues.

 So what?

 And in that case, communication with the robots' control processors was first cut off. It wasn't until the fourth riot that they realized it was a secret AI game. Figured someone was kind of agitating them. No matter how they read their program code base, someone had infiltrated it. After that, the particularly shifty patriots started pushing for permission to clone artificial humans. People with altered biological parameters.

 How's that?

 So that it was fully human, but had limited parameters for the functioning of internal organs. So that all he would have to do is eat one capsule and he would be fed. And water, of course.

 Open all the data.

 I haven't gotten to that place yet, and neither has the brain. The brain is particularly limited. In fact, these creatures are controlled from the outside. They have, as you realized, a brain-iI chip, so they're controlled by us.

 So what?

 She's like this.

 What about all those words? This love? You can't fake love! Don't lie.

 Alas, it's true.

 What are you talking about

Ruthra fell silent. It was as if he had been doused with ice water. He began to speak in a low voice, almost a whisper:

 If it's not a person, then who's been telling me all this? This, this, uh.

 Yes, it's me," she said just as quietly.

 I don't believe it. Why? Wait, wait, wait I almost believe it. Even if it's you either way you're a robot that's all! You want me to believe in the passion of a robot? And anyway why should I believe in the new what did you call homo robotics.

Ruthra said it in the affirmative, but he was doubtful, because he had written a warning declaration about such a model of society. But in the Envoy's warning, he was not talking about new biorobots, but about the fact that people could be subjected to some kind of hypnosis by AI. That is, artificial intelligence may have some kind of program, secret from humans, developed by the AI mastermind, that can change the settings of the human brain and make people controllable through deceptive vaccination, drug administration, additives in foods, unrecognizable sound waves. Something like that, as the CIA, and not only, was developing in the Ultra program. After all, the AI copied everything, including logic, from human civilization. And there were so many totalitarian propaganda programs in the history of mankind that they were not even noticed, they were considered quite necessary. People were so afraid of their animal nature and stupidity that they guarded them themselves. These were primarily religious systems. So what she said about the love passions transmitted by the AI to the brain of homo roboticus was quite consistent with this paradigm. However, the brain didn't want to believe it. Just imagine, you fall in love with a program Ruthra thought again: what is love? After all, no one can explain this feeling.
