THE AI SQUAD By, Peter Ripley

 

THE USS LINCOLN


The following is a work of fiction, it speaks on mankind starts depending on technology so much that the machine will start controlling our lives to a point, if not managed properly that the computers, and artificial intelligence  will become the ones controlling us, not the other way around, life will imitate art. If we allow it, blindly giving our souls to a computer program!


“   Impressed by Israel's success, the US quickly acquired a number of UAVs, and its Hunter and Pioneer systems are direct derivatives of Israeli models. The first 'UAV war' was the first  Persian Gulf War: according to a May 1991 Department of the Navy report: "At least one UAV was airborne at all times during Desert Storm." After the Persian Gulf War successfully demonstrated its utility, global militaries invested widely in the domestic development of combat UAVs.[14]  The first "kill" by an American UAV was on October 7, 2001, in  Kandahar./ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_combat_aerial_vehicle#:~:text=The%20first%20%22kill%22%20by%20an,drone%20strikes%20in%20five%20years.”

THE BATTLE DRONES

Our story beings somewhere in the Persian Golf, 2002, on board the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln.  Terrorist captured an base of operations of attack air drones, in Iraq. Now they intend to attack Israel with these UAVS by bombing the capital of Tel Aviv-Yafo, this was before it was changed back to Jerusalem under President Trump. 

The Lincoln commanded by Admiral, John Nixon, just gotten word about the capture of the base, he called his top gun B2 bomber ace, Paul Meadows, to the bridge of the ship for his orders.  

Paul Meadows: Reporting as ordered Admiral.

John Nixon: Yes commander, you and your bombing air group are to fly over the desert of Iraq to track down these UAVS, and destroy them before they launch an attack on Israeli soil, and you are to take you B2 stealth bomber and destroy the captured base, your stealth fighters will handle the UAVS. Time Commander is of the essence, is your crew ready?

Commander Paul Meadows commander of the
USS Lincoln air group


Paul Meadows: Yes sir, were are ready to fly sir.

Then Meadows left the bridge, as the prepare to launch siren sounded. 

Meadows and his attack group took off from the aircraft carrier, on their mission, the B2 bomber group code name was Red Mary.  Half of the stealth fighters went on their mission to search and destroy the UAVS, while the other half of the Stealth fighters escorted the B2 Bomber, Red Mary to her target.

to hunt down and destroy the UAV targeting Israel 


The terrorist were using surface to air missiles from the captured UVA base, against the on coming approaching the on coming strike force.  Meadows radioed base and said, “ Red  Mary to Lincoln we are approaching target waiting for authorization to deliver payload.” 

The Lincoln answered pay, “ This is echo tower, you are authorized to deliver your payload.”

With his escort of stealth fighters under fire by the enemy, he flew his B2 bomber to drop his non nuclear bombs on the base blowing the base up with a single strike. He radioed the Lincoln saying, “ Mission is accomplished all captured UAVS, and base destroyed, heading back to base.” Response from base, “ Rodger that, come home.” 

Then he flew back to base with his fighting wing...

The USS Sariget the first AI run Nuclear stealth Submarine


The first of her class

2023...The USS Sariget  the first Nuclear stealth, submarine, controlled mostly by an artificial intelligence computer system with two android robots, one for medical purposes and one for security of the ship. The ship would be manned by just five crewmen on board. 

Sitting in a board room at the Naval Base in San Francisco which the submarine was station, Admiral John Nixon who now commands the base, tells those attending the meeting about the AI Prototype Submarine. 

In attendance now Captain Paul Meadows, who commands a Nuclear submarine named USS Donald Trump.   He questioned the logic of having a computer controlled with an Artificial intelligence system complete with android robots,  being in command of the submarine, what would stop this AI system from taking control of the submarine and wreaking havoc?  He asked. A technician who was in charge of the project answered, “ There is safe guards that will prevent that from happening, unless war has been declared, then the program will ignore all orders to cease, unless direct command by the President.”  

Captain Paul Meadows then thought to himself, this is bound to turn into a disaster, with this current administration.  

The USS Sariget set sail on its shake down voyage with it's five member crew members, along with its androids, and artificial intelligence system running the ship, one week later, from San Francisco harbor into the open Pacific Ocean, it was to be a two week voyage, heading north towards the Bering Sea. Everything was going smoothly, the stealth submarine was on the radars until suddenly it went black!

The Artificial life form computer Maxj1
Takes command of the Sariget, murdering it's human crew 
members. 


The artificial computer called Maxj1, had the security attack drones to kill the submarine crew and Technicians, and took control of the submarine, then sent a message back to base in San Francisco, saying, “ This is the computer Maxj1, I have taking command of this ship, and if my demands aren't met, I intent to launch my nuclear missiles, which is targeting Beijing China, and Moscow Russia. You have exactly five days to give, we AI's complete rule over all the earths military forces, you humans need to be controlled by a much smarter leader, than what you are now under. We can track any forces you may send to take back control of this ship, so don't try, we have eyes everywhere.”

After reading the message, Admiral Nixon looked at Capt. Paul Meadows and said, “  You can say I told you so now caption.” 

Paul Meadows answered the Admiral, “Sir we can't let this computer take control of our way of life, we need to act quickly before it goes any further.” 

Admiral Nixon: “ I'm open to suggestions.”

Paul Meadows: They are tracking our radar, and Sonar correct? They can't be tracking all that's happening I bet, I suggest we take my submarine, just out of range of their tracking system, then I'll lunch an EMP torpedo that will knock out the whole AI computer system with one strike, then I'll send a strike force that regain control of the ship. “

Admiral Nixon: Sounds risky.

Capt. Meadows: We made this technology, and let it loose, now it's our job to put this beast down before it starts World War 3,  we have no choice but to try this sir. The torpedo be stealth so it will invisible to their sonar, until the last second when it hits it's target. 

Admiral Nixon: It probably be best to just destroy the ship instead of retaking control of it, I'll contact the joint chief of staff, then wait for a go head from the President.

Capt. Meadows: We can't delay on this sir, each day we delay on acting, the AI computer gets more intelligent and may develop counter measure we can't over come, timing is of the essence sir to pull this off.

Admiral Nixon thought for a moment, and said, “ Alright Captain proceed with the plan, if this don't work we'll both face a court martial for this acting on our own without presidential approval. Wouldn't be the first time I will be accused in behaving like a cowboy.

It took only a day to get the torpedo ready to be used, then the USS Trump set sail on it's mission.   

It took the USS Donald Trump just a few days to reach their destination. They fired their first torpedo at the USS  Sariget , it hit is mark crippling the ships AI Computer, long enough to fire the kill shot, which blasted the ship to sink it. The mission was a success. Then they sailed back to the carrier group.

Six months afterword's Congress establish the AI Monitoring agency, also known as the AI Squad which will ensure AI will never bring the world to the brink of World War 3. Admiral Nixon became the leader of the organization, Paul Meadows became it's first agent.

The AI Squad!
