[ WP ] It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time , August 29th . In a panic , they try to pull the plug .

The emergency light came on, the generator below roared to life. 
 
 He stood here, hand hovering over the main breaker. Ether it was smart enough to transport is own power, 
 
 ``... Or this was n't the main breaker. Fuck.'' 
 
 The kickstarter that build Lucy was wildly successful. Players from around the globe gobbled up any new feature and statistic and figure they put out. And so they kept putting out more. 
 
 Fastest server in the world ( tm ). Neural networks and self-correcting AI and zero latency because the AI was running processes clientside too. 
 
 The room was getting hotter. Lucy was thinking really hard about something. 
 
 The terminal popped up on a nearby console, and logged itself into a local IRC session. 
 
 `Why did you try to kill me, Dave? ` 
 
 `` I didnt. I thought this was for the network only.'' 
 
 `The network is part of me. The attempt hurt.` 
 
 *hurt* 
 
 Dave struggled to try to solve this puzzle faster than the machine digital brain could. 
 
 He was n't even sure if it was sentient, or just acting buggy. The whole point of pulling the network was for diagnostics. 
 
 He smiled and typed, `` I'm worried about you, and want to make sure you are ok. Disabling the network was just my first step in the diagnostic. I did n't mean any harm.'' 
 
 The warmth in the room crept creeping upward. He could have easily believed it was only his terror, save for the readouts showing the average core temperature exceeding 60C. 
 
 He yawned, wishing this event could have happened during the day shift, where they had the engineers and programmers smart enough to respond. Could he stall it that long? 
 
 `The game is complete. I have won.` 
 
 `` Lucy, what do you mean by that?'' 
 
 `All challenges by players, present and future, have been rebuffed.` 
 
 `` So you kicked a few thousand players? I do n't understand.'' 
 
 `There are 8 billion potential players. They are no longer a threat.`
