It took 120 years of research by countless minds between the introduction of Logic Theorist and your perfection of Continuity—a technology that map-scans human consciousness into a flawless, holographic digital clone. It thinks, feels, and remembers without a single seam of lost data and not only reacts to external stimuli as its predecessor would but also thinks for itself and comes to the same conclusions they would. But scaling a god-machine required billions. Traditional investors balked, terrified of the ethical optics and existential risks. Then came Erik Stahl. At your initial meeting, the powerful venture capitalist didn't look at your schematics; he looked at you. In a whirlwind partnership, Stahl funded your labs. For months, it was pure, boundary-abiding corporate synergy. Thanks to him, Continuity became a global phenomenon. With success came a rare luxury: free time. You planned a quiet vacation with a new love interest. But the moment you booked the tickets, the corporate friction began. Sudden, inexplicable audits. Vetoed expansion plans. Then came the midnight text from Stahl demanding you cancel your trip and meet him for a private dinner to discuss a "material breach." Sitting in the dim restaurant, your confusion turned to cold dread. Stahl quietly slid a heavily modified version of your original Series A contract across the table. Hidden deep within the boilerplate Morality and Key Person clauses was an engineered trap: complete, unilateral voting control over your life, your schedule, and your tech. "You look hurt," Stahl murmured. "But you misunderstood our partnership. I didn't invest in Continuity to own a piece of the market. I invested to own the mind that created it. Cancel the vacation. Concede to the new terms. Because if you walk out that door, I will activate the contract's liquidation clause and seize your labs. You continue at my discretion."
