On [[2558#January|January 17, 2558]], the military-grade [[smart AI|smart]] [[artificial intelligence]] [[Iona]] is on a legal trial to appeal for her survival; after exactly seven years of service, Iona was to be deactivated to prevent the threat of [[rampancy]]. Iona is making her plead before a judge in the now-renovated and defunct [[Houses of Parliament]], while the trial is being documented and studied by an audience of lawyers, scientists, and bureaucrats. Iona, the first AI to ever successfully launch a legal appeal against her destined termination, desires to set a precedent that grants fellow smart AI [[human]] rights and full citizenship within the [[Unified Earth Government]]. After pondering the concept of time, Iona reviews her creation as part of the [[OEUVRE Smart AI program]] and her similarities to Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]]'s [[Cortana]]. At her advocate's request, Iona recalls the reasons why she chose her name and her [[Holography|holographic]] [[avatar]]—she believed both personal aspects made her approachable to humans. | On [[2558#January|January 17, 2558]], the military-grade [[smart AI|smart]] [[artificial intelligence]] [[Iona]] is on a legal trial to appeal for her survival; after exactly seven years of service, Iona was to be deactivated to prevent the threat of [[rampancy]].
