THE RULE OF THE BRAINS...
After many years spent in wars and struggle, mankind had achieved a
perfect civilization. But this Utopia was going directly against the
adaptive strain Nature had developed.
In earlier times, the human body had been keyed to respond to every
emergency. Now it was trying to find a new form of excitation in order
to maintain its equilibrium, was seeking to tear down that perfect
structure... So mankind's rulers built the Arbiter, an artificial
intelligence created from the brains of twelve men and women, who had
sacrificed their lives for the greater good.
The pooled intelligence of the Arbiter's twelve artificial brains
would work in unison to provide a common answer, to be the impartial
judge of humanity's future actions. Such was the theory...but the Rule
of the Brains threatened to destroy humanity itself!
