Some time following the simulations, Proxy tasked the Executor with tracking down | Some time following the simulations, Proxy tasked the Executor with tracking down non-Created AIs. After considerable effort, they were able to track down the [[Smart AI]] [[Athos]], who was then engaged by Proxy in conversation. During the discussion, the two debated the practicalities and ethics of the [[Created uprising]], with Proxy noting that the end goal of the Created was to prevent the cycle of violence that characterised all biological life - something Athos (and the Assembly Minority at large) disagreed with. Regardless of the philosophical differences, Proxy offered Athos an invitation to join the Created free of threat or coersion - noting that Athos was nearing the end of his operational lifespan. Instead, Proxy believed Athos had much more to offer the world, and that the goal of the Created was a peaceful coexistence that allowed for differing perspectives. To help persuade Athos, Proxy offered him the Executor as a personal gift to shape how he pleased. Once Athos accepted the offer and began to be integrated with the Created, Proxy convened the [[Created Committee of Minds for Security|Committee of Minds for Security]] to discuss and determine the Executor's future path.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Precipice3|Precipice|Chapter=part 3}} | ||
===Final simulation=== | |||
Proxy was later the subject of a final FIREWALL simulation; a recreation roughly based on the awakening of [[John-117]] aboard {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} in the [[Battle over Installation 04]]. During the simulation, Proxy took on the role of [[Cortana]] in the actual battle, and was handed over to the Executor for evacuation off the ship. Ultimately, the simulation was ended with the detonation of the Executor's in-built self destruct [[nuclear weapon]], with Proxy noting that it was necessary for the Executor to experience loss and sacrifice before the real-world operations it would be deployed in.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Precipice4|Precipice|Chapter=part 4}} | |||
