Page 2 of 2

"Despite the wealth of technology we have obtained from your civilization back half a century, we have applied those advances without being fully conscious about the power they bring and their implications. We misused it causing great amount of damage to ourselves instead of bringing an utopia." I decide to make a small pause before continuing. " Even on these circumstances, we decided to attack your civilization because we misunderstood your intents as you began building colonies on our own planets without our consent. We didn’t understand you took for granted the coexistence and integration of alien species. Also we had difficulty accepting the idea that all the species that integrate your civilization are governed by a group of artificial consciousnesses that you call Administrators. Taking in account everything that has been said and the fact that our colonies need your help, we have decided to surrender our government to yours and fully integrate to your civilization with the only condition that you respect our unique and diverse human cultures as they are."

"Finally Earth’s Global Network AI has taken over the administration of the whole Republic?" Asks calmly the monolith.

"Yes, the government on Earth couldn’t control the emergence of an artificial conscience and an astute group of radical scientists gave absolute control of the global system to the AI. The population hasn’t figured out yet as it has been kept its existence as a secret for over five years already, and, by now, several groups of AI’s have taken over the colonies of the Republic and are being linked to Earth’s AI."

"Very, well!" the monolith exclaims. "I am going to get in contact directly with Earth’s GNAI via our own communications system to coordinate its imminent integration to the Galactic Commonwealth. I recommend you to return you Earth with your family so you can retire."

"Thanks for the recommendation but I think I’ll stay in this place for a few years more while things on Earth calm a little bit."

"So we are going to have our chess match the next weekend as planned?" The Administrator asks.

"Of course, just because you are a thousand million times smarter and faster than any human brain doesn’t mean you will always win. Besides, human stubbornness is infinite".
