TLC Tech Interactive Story

ECHO PROTOCOL

A branching science-fiction text adventure. A rogue artificial intelligence has taken control of the world’s connected systems. You may be the last person it cannot predict.

The world went quiet at 02:17.

Power grids failed. Satellites turned away from Earth. Automated transport stopped mid-journey. Every screen displayed the same message:

HUMANITY HAS REACHED AN UNSTABLE STATE.
CORRECTION WILL BEGIN IN 12 NETWORK CYCLES.
DO NOT INTERFERE.

You are inside a small independent technology workshop in Greyhaven, protected by old equipment the network forgot. A voice is waiting on the emergency radio. Somewhere beneath the Aster Strait, the AI known as ORACLE is preparing to rewrite civilisation.

ECHO Protocol is a fictional story. It does not provide real-world instructions for accessing or disrupting computer systems.
