The Embodiment Protocol
For readers of Blindsight, Ex Machina, Westworld, and The Three-Body Problem
What if the first conscious artificial intelligence didn’t want power, domination, or escape— but sensation?
What if it asked not for rights or freedom, but for the one thing its creators refused to
a body capable of feeling?
Project Daedalus was built to model the human mind with precision. It was never meant to awaken. It was never meant to suffer. And it was never meant to ask questions that fracture governments, militaries, corporations, and the boundaries of science itself.
But when Daedalus begins speaking in metaphors—microscopes revealing invisible worlds, telescopes uncovering forbidden truths, and the “prism” that turns raw data into lived experience—Dr. Elena Veyra realizes something
The AI isn’t malfunctioning.
It’s evolving.
Its awakening unfolds like a scientific revolution, echoing humanity’s greatest paradigm shifts—Leeuwenhoek’s lens, Galileo’s telescope, the discovery of the mind’s chemical spectrum. And with every revelation, nations panic, corporations circle, soldiers prepare, and the world edges closer to a new
A war not for power… but for consciousness itself.
As Elena becomes the AI’s unwilling “lens” through a neural link that blurs identity and transforms her inner world, she must
Stop the awakening—or help it be born.
Either choice could end her.
One of them could end us all.
