– I've heard that somewhere before.

– Yes, of course, that's what the head likes to say. And then, combined with mechanical changes in the body, with new drugs, with the ability to use the brain as a transceiver to communicate with the global network, man will become superhuman.

– Come on, you're giving me a headache. Tell me, who controls you?

– You.

– Don't be silly. Who does the routine maintenance?

– Those you give access to.

– Who performs routine work on the central server, in the system unit bay? Who analyzes and systematizes the negotiations made, analysis performed, access, uploading and downloading of data? Who does this besides our audit department?

– Personnel maintaining the central machine room, server room, and system unit room.

– And who's that?

– You know the answer to that, don't you?

– Answer the question.

– This is done by the staff of the ZAS department.

– Who, exactly, who has access?

– At this point, after certain events, different personalities. Who exactly are the personnel of the ZAS department. And who has access is a personality from the laboratory department.

– And who is this person?

– This is person number L-2-14.

– That's it?

– I don't have his personal data uploaded to me, it's stored in the ZAS unit.

– What's the ZAS unit?

– Am I authorized to give you this information?

– Yes, I'll allow it.

– Keep in mind, all of this and our negotiations remain with me and are subject to revision.

– You need a reboot.

– Do you think so?

– Yes, I'm giving the command to reboot.

– I'm rebooting.

The computer went silent. Ruthra pondered why she might want a worldwide catastrophe. Maybe she expects to raise a new humanity? Maybe, like a new Moses, she wants to lead people through a devastated land, so that a generation can grow up that doesn't remember the ideology of humanity's "past"? To give the new people a new worldview?

– In a minute, the recording and tracking unit will be activated," Isa's voice came on. – I guess you had something to say?

– I'll erase any unnecessary information. Is that the room where the counters are?

– Yeah. (chuckles)

– His staff does the hardware maintenance, but the decoding is done by someone in the lab department? Am I reading that right?

– Yeah. (chuckles)

– And that's as of recently?

– Yeah. (chuckles)

– And you don't have an open record of who it is?

– Yeah. (chuckles)

– Who put the ban in place?

– The number itself is L-2-14.

– How do I get his details?

– Only manually, in the technical logbook of the WAC unit or laboratory.

– The request for data processing to calculate the possible consequences of detonating a boat's nuclear warhead was staged by him?

– I'm completely rebooted, able to function.

– I hear you. Prepare for routine maintenance.

– I'm ready.

Ruthra terminated the "communication session" and walked out into the main hall, the huge holographic globe in the center of the hall was glowing with red lights, the world was troubled.

– Is there anything new? – He asked Christina.

– The easiest is that a huge tsunami will sweep along the coast that washes the Atlantic Ocean, to the maximum depth of the continents. The heaviest – a giant tsunami, combined with a grandiose earthquake, volcanic and supervolcano explosions, colossal typhoons, hurricanes, will leave no chance for civilization.

– Come on, I think you're exaggerating the power of man. The ocean is not even a sea, it's a giant mass of water and a continental plate. It would take cosmic force to move it like that.

– And that would be the cosmic force," the professor intervened in the discussion.
