Virtuosity Page #4

Synopsis: The Law Enforcement Technology Advancement Centre (LETAC) has developed SID version 6.7: a Sadistic, Intelligent, and Dangerous virtual reality entity which is synthesized from the personalities of more than 150 serial killers. LETAC would like to train police officers by putting them in VR with SID, but they must prove the concept by using prisoners as test subjects. One such prisoner is ex-cop Parker Barnes. When SID manages to inject his personality into a nano-machine android, it appears that Barnes might be the only one who can stop him.

There may be something here|we can use.

We should start at his apartment and|try to find erasures of the Sid program.

They may give us an insight|into his behaviour model.

What?

Where's my gun?

They won't let us bring|our cameras any closer...

Our understanding is that Mr and|Mrs Edwards have been murdered.

It's Sid.

Oh, God.

He's armed himself.

Charles Manson.|It's the LaBianca murders.

"Death to the pigs" was scrawled|in blood across the walls of their house.

He's copy-catting.

of the Glendale couple.

had been severed and a message...

"Death to the pigs." You have no idea|what you're up against.

a single suspect in custody.

Jesus Christ! What the hell was that?

- What the hell are you doing?|- I'm very sorry.

- You been inside?|- We're waiting for a search warrant.

- You're waiting for a warrant?|- That's right.

Stop. Next hex.

- Couldn't find a keyboard?|- It's voice-actuated.

- It's what?|- Voice-actuated. Open files.

Next hex. Open Sid 1 .3.

This is using some kind of|genetic algorithms.

Sid's too complex to design.

He had to grow him up like a real|person with a personality disorder.

The program learns like a child|but much faster.

He put killers in Sid's nursery and|let him watch them killing each other.

And only the strong one survived.

Open Sid 6.7.

Combine.

Looks like there's almost 200|different personality structures.

The battle raging inside him|must be amazing.

Wait, wait, slow that down.|The names, slow down.

- You're not in here, if that's what...|- Right there.

Matthew Grimes...

He killed my wife and my daughter.

He's not necessarily dominant,|he may not even be emergent.

- But he's in there. He's part of Sid?|- Yes.

I'm beautiful.

I'll make this quick.

- Hey, Mum.|- Hey, sweetheart.

Sit with your mum.|I need a hug.

Grimes was a terrorist so why|did he take Parker's wife and child?

Parker was getting too close.

He was cutting Grimes off|from potential targets.

Grimes figured if he murdered|the man's wife and child,

it might distract Parker|from the manhunt.

Grimes was wrong.

- How are you doing?|- Why don't you come inside?

I just...need to listen to the radio.

Do you think it's important|for a first baseman to be left-handed?

You look mighty parched, partner.

To think you constitute|one of my ancestors.

Rum and Coke.

- How about a lime in that?|- I'm vaguely offended by that.

On your f***ing knees!

Now!

Don't.

Don't.

Stand up!

Aim and shoot.

Good girl.

Okay, people.|We got a lot of work to do.

We have a symphony to compose.

- Do you think my mum is pretty?|- Yes, she's very pretty.

So do I.

- Is that a real gun?|- Yes, it is.

Did you ever have to shoot anybody?
