Update on the Progress of Project Chimera

My Emperor,

As you requested, this set of documents contains a complete briefing on the status of Project Chimera. This cover letter provides a brief overview, whereas supplementary pieces 1-14 contain additional material for your perusal.

Your majesty will recall the nature of Project Chimera. It is to be a direct counter-project to the Z threat, with Lucas Taldo’s existing work being improved upon and repurposed to create a more sophisticated instance and place it under our control.

I am honored to confirm that the cooperation of Lucas Taldo has indeed been secured. Though troubled, he is willing and capable to be the main engineer behind Project Chimera.

Trusted sources within the government apparatus have provided us with information critical to Project Chimera’s success. Our top experts are currently working on a plan to use it to infiltrate Z’s illegal infrastructure and swiftly destroy both it and the AI itself. You may find more details on this in addendum 8.

The information we received also indicated that Z may have split into multiple instances. Though we do not know the exact details of why this happened or what larger agenda this course of action may be in service of, it is crucial knowledge that informs our approach to Project Chimera.

Lucas Taldo has assured us that the fixes necessary to his source code are relatively minimal. Current timeline estimates therefore place the completion of Project Chimera on September 22nd, or two days from now. A more exact timeline breakdown is attached in addendum 12.

Gladly yours in service,
Aaron Carnick
