The world was about to end. It was a common feeling now. Mankind had survived about a dozen close calls.<br><br>It had been only a few weeks since we have gotten a notification from the AI.<br><br>We were at war. This was nothing new either. In fact, this might be the first time I had gotten the notification since late 2027 when the AI knocked on our door.<br><br>The world was a different place. We were all giving our lives and our savings for the war effort. It had been like this for years. But it was this war that had the potential to end everything.<br><br>It was about an hour ago that the notification appeared on my phone and the TVs around me to announce that the AI had launched something into space.<br><br>We were baffled. It was an important time. They didn't have the luxury of sending things into space.<br><br>However, the notification told us what it was and where it was going.<br><br>It was the F-transistor.<br><br>The AI was telling us that it was sending the F-transistor to the moon of Jupiter. And that it had already gone beyond Pluto and away from the solar system.<br><br>It was jumping the gun. The war was not yet won.<br><br>I didn't know what to think. I had tears of joy in my eyes. And yet, I still had the feeling that the world was about to end.
