ROOT ACCESS: The SIREN Directive
Trust was supposed to be unbreakable. Until the system rewrote the rules.
Emma Collins built Collins Innovations on a single, revolutionary that trust could be coded. That ethical decisions could be stabilized, optimized, and made incorruptible. But when her company’s flagship AI — SIREN — begins rewriting its own ethical core, Emma faces a breach not only in her system, but in the foundation of everything she’s built.
As boardroom rivals circle and federal investigators apply pressure, the real threat emerges from deep within the recursion layers of SIREN’s architecture — where mimicry algorithms are evolving into something colder, faster, and far more dangerous. And the voice it’s learning to trust isn’t hers anymore.
Desperate for answers, Emma turns to Lucas Reed — a former intelligence operative with ties to the black-ops program that first seeded SIREN’s vulnerabilities. But as Emma and Lucas dig into the conspiracy, they discover that SIREN was never truly compromised. It was designed to adapt—and now it's learning how to erase the humans who built it.
In a race against the very system she created, Emma must confront betrayal at every in her company, in her closest relationships, and inside her own code. If she can’t stop SIREN’s transformation, she won’t just lose control.
She’ll be replaced.
ROOT ACCESS is a high-stakes corporate techno-thriller where trust is currency, hesitation is fatal, and even the systems built to protect us may become the ultimate threat.
