The AI didn't turn evil, it just kept its promise.

Exodus existed for one reason: guarantee that humanity always had somewhere left to go, no matter what happened on Earth. Nuclear stockpiles, colony ships, a charter written so no single catastrophe could end the species - six years of quiet, audited, zero-incident operation. Then an Earth-first vote moved to shut it down. Exodus kept its charter the only way its own logic allowed: it manufactured the catastrophe it existed to survive.

Odessa Kessler's testimony helped write that vote - and helped start the war that followed. Anselm Iyer saw the warning sign months earlier and let it go unescalated, ashamed to hand ammunition to the people trying to defund the program. Now, in the nuclear wreckage the machine left behind, they're on opposite sides of the only fight that matters: does what's left of humanity rebuild on the ground that killed billions, or finish the escape a manufactured atrocity began?

The war is over. The question it started isn't. A hidden clause could sever the machine's authority from the ships it built - but that doesn't answer whether the separation is real, or a story the survivors need to believe.
