 		On the mainpage of the site it now says.

Quote:
Unfortunately due to a recent incident at our company Drak-Ai. Our website has been comprimised by a peice of software That was released from it secure location by accident.

As we sort out the problem the site will become more avalible to people trying to browse our site it shouldnt be any more than 2 weeks before it goes through and its fixed.

In the mean time send us an email if you have any questions about our services.


This is on the 'About me' page.

Quote:
Drak Tech A.I Institute Drak Tech was founded in 1993 By Ansem F. Abell The Second

The company started off as a small military assistance leave. They made small nick nack , And dealt with various things here and there for the military.

As time went on They became bigger and made more money as for there own part and moved onto solo projects, They started making design for sentry units.

There first unit [FGEMU-0001 NEO - BETA] Was a standard sentry unit with there built in A.I chip Abell has been working on since his late father Ansem F. Abell The First.
This chip was using standradized heat seeking units as well as neo-genetic enhansers that allows the gun to think on its own as to who or what the target is.
This was also just the beta and it had its flaws. There Was 42 Models Before The Actual Release Of The FGEMU NEO.When it hit the market it was slow at
first but when word got in of its capabilities thats when Dark Tech earned its name.

Drak Tech Later Released 3 More Sentry Units [FGEMU - GAMMA][FGEMU - SOLARIS] And [FGEMU- OMEGA]
The GAMMA and SOLARIS breed where somewhat like neo but slightly enhanched ,OMEGA on the otherhans
It had an entirely new chip system giving it completly controll over the unit ,Speech Enabled
Movement as well as being able to use long distance contacting to locate nearby towns that may being
danger and tell the authorities. OMEGA for the most part was one of Drak Techs Higher moment in there early days.

Later on down the road , Drak Tech with there fame along the line of A.I sentry units decided to take a new take on things
They decided to build from scratch a brand new A.I chip,Nothing like the world has seen before.It was a chip made from In its early stages was it not only worth millions of dollars but yet very deadly.
There is no idea what the chip was capable of

A year into preduction Abell The Second became ill , shortly after he died of unknown causes.
His son Abell The Third took over,Even more bright hearted then his father
with much more knowledge was greatly happy to take the wheel.

A Rivaling company not doing all the best in there time.Seen this as a prime oppurtunity to try to seize hold of Drak Tech.
This Causing A Small Contenental war ,may have been small , but left its leave on the earth.
It only lasted 1 month and 4 days ,But the damage was severe, Drak Tech losing a majority of its warehouse and products.
Thankfully not the chip in processing.

Soon after the small incident was named the '' Drakorian Uprising''. This is when people started realizing the true power of the draken products it was a must have all over the globe.

After some time,The chip in progress was allmost done and it needed a host... a body.
They started off making simple frame bodies close to humans.And ended up using the same echo-structure humans have.
But to emulate the skin used a hypogenic fusion of leather and rubber , keeping the smoothness of skin
but the toughness of the rubber. causing it to look allmost the same
but yet twice and strong giving the robotic unit the protection it will need..

After creating a host,The day to test the chip came. It loaded it fine.at first there was no responce.
After adjusting a few wires they could hear the CPU reading the A.I chip.It turned on. But wasnt reading the firmware.
It acted on its own .. even intorduced itself.. it labeled its self as '' Trix''.
This was truely a remarkable day in history.Drak Tech was the first people in history to create a fully operational A.I
that can think and move as well as perform actions on its own ...This was also a start of a new era..
They created more units on and on , but none could seem to come up to the measure of Trix
It had a barrier on the chip as if it was growing smarted protecting itself from outsiders acessing its data.
To this day no one has acessed its database.

Drak Tech over the years has created a hefty amount of other aids as for tactical combad
A.I chips for smaller wares and for company assistance.They are truely a well known company around the world.
They have had there flaws and mishaps with rivaling companys.


They're also saying that Nina Heart is their ONLY contact and that a rogue email address has been finding itself on the site lately (that being the trix one).

I am now emailing Nina Heart to find out what the heck's going on.

 		I may sound like an idiot, but for clarification, is Trix supposed to be an artificial intelligence project gone wrong? Question

Sounds like it. There seems to have been a lot of those running around in ARGs lately.

Really? Wink

Site gives me a bit of a headache... I'm having difficulty even reading it without having to turn away. Someone got the abridged version of what's going on?

 		Ok, so I'm usually a lurker, but I thought I'd get in on this since it's new. I did a who is on the site and this is what I came up with.

I also noticed <trix> in the about page source, and the writing on the page had quite a few misspellings. I'm thinking this means either trix wrote the about page, or the PM isn't a very good speller. Wink

Well I managed to read the site and there isnt much info there. In fact Everything that I could find worth noting was listed above the most important being the email received from trix.

But to sum up: Drak-Ai Built an Ai. Now they are having computer problems possibly caused by the AI they built. At first glance I do not think Trix is as benevolent as other AI's I have seen (A certain Joshua comes to mind.)
