Synopsis/Details
An otherworldly individual hacks into the Opportunity rover on Mars, and sends an encrypted message back to Earth, hidden inside a song.
Considering that the rover is actually a dead stick during the last few years, NASA assigns the signal's analysis and deciphering to one of its best private contractors, Domcorp, a state of the art company with unlimited resources and power, a company with second-to-none expertise in AI development and computer coding, but also highly questionable tactics and an evil agenda including military operations using cyborgs.
While the processing of the message creates more questions than answers, the prospect of the message itself being alien, grows strong into Domcorp's people, who want to be the first communicating with the strangers from other planets, disregarding the Government's guidelines.
However, little do they know about the single individual who devised and executed such a plan, just to hack into that specific company for her own benefit, that includes access to the AI research department, which was out of her reach up until the moment Atkinson (Domcorp's President) decided to speed up the deciphering process, and used his most powerful AI entity for that reason.
When time comes, Domcorp itself is hacked and its most precious artifact, an actual young female AI, is the real target.
With a facility infested by an army of guards and security beyond imagination, three people must go in and two need to get out.
