# Faithful night

Stavl Zosimov

A male programmer is developing his own neural network, which aims to materialize pop stars in his room, and after a night of sex, the stars' bodies disintegrate into atoms. In the news, he hears that these stars are also disappearing.

CHAPTER 1


In the apartment, programmer Alexander is sitting at the computer and a video call is shown on the screen. He turns on the application. On the screen appears his friend programmer Pavel from the IT company.


PAVEL

Hello, bro.


ALEXANDER

Hi, Pashka.


PAVEL

Well, did they accept the project?


ALEXANDER

Like hell. They said that such a thing only in fairy tales.


PAVEL

But you explained to them?


ALEXANDER

Yes I laid everything out. But they decided that these topics should be discarded at all, because they are criminal against humanity.


PAVEL

And what now do you plan to do?


ALEXANDER

I do not know yet… We'll see.


PAVEL

To be honest, I didn't really understand how matter would move back into matter over the internet.


ALEXANDER

It's very simple if you write the program in tertiary code instead of binary.


PAVEL

How is that?


ALEXANDER

100(-1)=11(-1)0=0(-1)(-1)1=0001. Like this.


PAVEL

I don't understand! What's a minus one?


In the living room of a country mansion in an elite area, there is a long table covered with all sorts of expensive treats. Men in black suits and bow ties are sitting at the table. The waitresses are in thongs and without bras, serving and changing various treats. There is a general hubbub. Everyone is chatting with their tablemates, and many are laughing. Calm music is playing. A middle-aged man stands up from the table and bangs his fork on the glass.


BULL

A moment of attention, gentlemen brothers. I ask for a toast.


All those present slowly fall silent and look at the one who stood up.


BULL (continuing)

We have gathered here, gentlemen bratany on the all-Russian thieves' meeting of authorities, that would celebrate the anniversary of our precious DAD.


One of the elderly men raises his hand reluctantly and smiles slyly. All look at him.


BAKLAN

Long years, DAD!


LUTY

We are with you to the end!


KABAN

Not to be ill and not to be bored!


BULL

to discuss the biggest robbery in the history of the federal budget from the state account of the country's Ministry of Finance of all the money.


BOAR

Why didn't we meet in Zoom? Was it worth coming here from other cities?


BULL

The internet can be eavesdropped on and sabotaged in this enterprise.


LUKY

And they can't here?


A programmer named Alexander is sitting at a computer in an apartment, and a video call is displayed on the screen.


ALEXANDER

Do you remember Faraday's law?


PAVEL

Well, yes: The law states: For any circuit, the induced electromotive force (EMF) is equal to the rate of change of the magnetic flux passing through that circuit, taken with a negative sign.


ALEXANDER

In other words, the generated EMF is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux.


PAVEL

So what's the catch?


ALEXANDER

And in the fact that the change in magnetic flux is minus one, which allows the correct EMF to go separate from the flow in the electrical circuit.


PAVEL

And what about the static voltage?


ALEXANDER

Foucault currents? So they are a condensate of magnetic flux. Eddy closed electric currents in a massive conductor, which arise when the magnetic flux penetrating it changes. But in nature they are uncontrollable. And I was able to use data transmission in computer space, which have digital and analog signals. If analog communication is the transmission of a constantly changing signal through all the chips, including the processor itself, then a digital code with a negative Rhesus is a continuous transmission of messages (a sequence of pulses, a set of waves). This modulation is carried out using modem equipment.


In the living room of a country mansion in an elite area, there is a long table set with expensive treats. Men in black suits and bow ties are sitting at the table.


BUCK

They can, but this way we'll be even closer. Agree that with the advent of digital technologies, we're less and less often together like this. Eye to eye, shoulder to shoulder?!


LUTY

That's true, that's true.


BOAR

You're talking about the case, Bull.


BAKLAN

And on the case-something more concrete?


DAD gets up from the table.


BULL

DAD, is there a problem?


DAD

Valve's been pushed. I'll go dump the ballast, and you go on with your show.


DAD leaves and everyone watches him go in silence.


BUCK

So. According to the latest data, several Neural Network viruses are already ready, which should attack the firewall of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation at the set time. Our advantage is that the security department is ready for an attack in the general understanding of a neural network. And since each viral Neural Network has its own separate logical thinking, then the first blow to the servers will bring their system to a hang and for a while their servers will remain unprotected. The remaining Neural Network Worms in reserve will freely penetrate and sit there.


CHAPTER 2


In the apartment, the programmer Alexander is sitting at the computer and the video call is shown on the screen.


PAVEL

It turns out that in your computer micro Internet?


ALEXANDER

Yes, but the users themselves chips, which are sensitive by nature to ultra magnetic flux pulses. On them I have installed indicators of magnetic impulse. And when receiving, the processor triggers the values of the logical type, which in parallel from the main constant flow, can be converted into an electric current by Faraday's law and take one of two values: True (true) or False (false). If you convert a logical True to an int, you get -1, and converting False gives you 0. The same thing happens in parallel in the electrical flow. But True is one, and False remains the same 0.


PAVEL

This means that your computer is not a single-processor computer, but a dual-processor computer.


ALEXANDER

That's right. The main processor is the subconscious, and the secondary one with a magnetic receiver is the consciousness, which is also able to self-learn like a separate personality. It was able to separate the quantum of energy from absolute emptiness in neutrinos and quarks.


There is a black pickup truck with tinted windows in the bushes on the side of the road. Inside are FSB special forces officers, fully equipped and in a state of combat readiness. Among them is the captain of the assault team. In the front seat is the driver and the head of the operation, Major, who is listening to a speech in the mansion.


BUK (behind the scenes)

… Will do their job. After that, a second attack will be carried out, and then the Worms will transfer the received pincode data to the main account and immediately self-destruct.


MAJOR

Captain. Start the sweep.


CAPTAIN (behind the scenes)

Received.


From the pickup quietly run out fighters in balaclavas and spread out on the circumferential perimeter.


DRIVER

And what, you won't arrest anyone?


MAJOR

So that they would be released again under a subscription? They have connections in the West to buy out our whole country.


In the apartment, the programmer Alexander is sitting at the computer and the video call is shown on the screen.


PAVEL

And have you already practiced it?


ALEXANDER

Of course not. That's why they may have taken my idea for hypothetical nonsense. But I'm going to try it myself.


PAVEL

And the Neural Network?


ALEXANDER

So the Neural Network is the subconscious.


PAVEL

But it can think logically?


ALEXANDER

And who sends you to sleep and puts your breathing and other functions on autopilot? Who treats you at night?


PAVEL

Immunity.


ALEXANDER

This is your logical neural network, as well as the selection and delivery of the necessary elements to the cells. You eat, and your subconscious mind already organizes everything logically, following specific programs. But suicide or other sins, it takes a consciousness, which can be less than a cell… Are you stupid or what? In short, Pashka, you already bothered me…


PAVEL

Sorry, brother. Something I really, I'm stupid… Come on, try… I believe in you… If that, share the results?


АЛЕКСАНДР

Конечно, брат.


PAVEL

Yes. And you'll go to Borka's party? There will be Lenka.


ALEXANDER

I don't know…


PAVEL

Stop being stupid and distract yourself from the pysushnik. In general, agreed… We are waiting for you, the future Nobel laureate…


Around the circle, sit down on the position of the grenade throwers and simultaneously produce a volley. The mansion is covered in fiery explosions. The grenade throwers take the loaded grenade launchers and fire a second volley. After that, the assault begins in a circle.


MAJOR

Well, that's the end of the era of organized crime.


DRIVER

And who is the informant?


MAJOR

The Pope himself. Realized that he also has nothing to look forward to abroad, because he is Russian. Gathered all the authorities and handed them over. And there is no one to present.


In the room, the twilight, illuminated only by the light coming from, five monitors, standing in a circle. Flashing light indicators. Monitors showing bits and bytes of code. The camera moves around the room, showing Alexander, immersed in work. He leans over the middle computer.


ALEXANDER

And what else do you need?


Alexander quickly presses the keyboard. After pressing enter, he leans back in his chair.


ALEXANDER (behind the scenes)

No… We need to exclude flash memory for the duration of this party. And when she wakes up, she'll think it's a deep sleep without cartoons.


Alexander approaches the monitor and quickly presses the keyboard. We immerse ourselves in the visualization of Alexander's inner world. We see complex diagrams, sparkling chains, and clouds of numbers that represent his work on creating a neural network. After pressing enter, he leans back in his chair.


ALEXANDER (behind the scenes)

Wow!!! Respect!!! It worked!!! Well, my brother, the Red Warrior, get ready?!


Alexander gets up from the table and goes to the kitchen.


In the office of the head of the FSB, there are: the head himself, a major, and a captain.


THE HEAD OF THE FSB

I have read your report on the successful elimination of the main leaders who were planning to steal from the budget capital account of the Ministry of Finance of our country. And I'll present you with awards. But where's DAD?


MAJOR

He's disappeared.


FSB CHIEF

How did he disappear?


MAJOR

While we were busy storming the building, he went to the bathroom and never returned.


FSB CHIEF

And what about the dogs?


MAJOR

We only found his shoes where he defecated.


FSB CHIEF

What do you mean?


MAJOR

He emptied himself into his shoes. Or whatever's left of him.


FSB CHIEF

So what? Did he dissolve into thin air, leaving us with nothing but shit? Are you trying to tell me a story, Major? You're telling me a fairy tale… As long as he's still at large, he's just as dangerous as ever. Especially…


CAPTAIN

Yes, he won't get away from our cameras. Yesterday, a neural network was launched to monitor the civilian population across the country.


HEAD OF THE FSB

Have you considered the possibility that he might wear a medical bandage and dark glasses?


CHAPTER 3


The room is dimly lit, illuminated only by the light coming from the five monitors arranged in a circle. Flashing light indicators flicker. The monitors display bits and bytes of code. Alexander approaches with a mug of steaming coffee and a sandwich in his hand. He sits on the chair and takes a bite.


ALEXANDER

So. I'll start with Olga Khrust. I've been wanting to unscrew her for a long time! Isn't that right?


Alexander looks at his fly.


ALEXANDER (continuing)

What's the matter? Oh, I get it… Silence means agreement… Do you want to know how I figured out her home address? It's simple. The Neural Network will find her by registration in the database… You're saying it can't be hacked? And you're right. But it's being visited by a lot of people. The traffic is just bursting. That's where the Neural Network comes in, breaking down into smaller, independent parts. My program is made up of independent blocks. Each block is a mini-program that can navigate the internet on its own. Once they reach the server, they won't have the positive machine code that antivirus programs can easily detect. Instead, they'll have the negative machine code… That's right. The geniuses at the FSB don't even know about this. And an artificial intelligence can easily outsmart and outrun their intelligent neural networks, giving them invisible slaps on the back of their heads. For refusing to give me the money…


Suddenly, the lights go out.


ALEXANDER (continuing)

That's all we need?! It's gone again… These moonshiners are driving me crazy…


In the room, Pavel is sitting at a computer, clicking on a video call. On the screen, a young, unconventional girl with blue hair and a bob appears.


PAVEL

Hi, Inka. How are you?


INKA

I'm not doing well… I'm unemployed again.


PAVEL

What happened this time?


INKA

I got a not-so-legal job and wrote my own version of the Neural Network.


PAVEL

A. I get it. That's what you used in your defense?! So what?


INKA

Nothing… The boss got killed. And he wanted to give me an advance today. Have you seen the news? There was a gas explosion in a mansion in the suburbs.


PAVEL

Yes, I remember something.


INKA

But it's a lie. Someone must have tipped them off and… In short, I'm back on the search and at zero.


PAVEL

Did you reset? Come on… I can't believe you won't find a job! It's crazy. You and Sasha were both out of this world during your course… With your quirks… You with your theory of simple negation, and he with his trinity.


INKA

That's it, that some bitch leaked to the feds all the lists of participants in the project "Last Day of Russia". Who was on their territory, they were immediately tied up. And I was lucky that I was in Cambodia.


PAVEL

But you were chilling under the Torov nickname on the Internet?


INKA

That's right. When there was just a search engine without a brain, it saved. And now there are neural networks with cubaturka everywhere. Tor is now leaky. And as soon as I light up on the Internet, I'll be immediately covered. And under another nickname, I'm zero… What's Sanya doing?


PAVEL

It's the same thing. They messed up with a grant for Start-Up and he decided to test his own chip…


INKA

Specifically, remind me, because I'm a little confused?!


PAVEL

In short, simply put, he wants to fuck Olga Khrust.


INKA

The singer?


PAVEL

Well, yes…


INKA

Well, you give, Russians… This is which sex symbol of your pop music?


PAVEL

Yes… With a cool ass and with three breasts, as she posted on her blog.


INKA

This is how?


PAVEL

Wonders of plastic surgery and only… From a man to a woman and back. And what is it to attach a breast between?!


INKA

And how?


PAVEL

It's brilliant… I watched a porn photo shoot, it's amazing!

INKA

I'm asking how he wants to get her to his place.


PAVEL

While she's sleeping, he'll transfer her through the internet to his bed. He'll play with her and then send her back.


INKA

Has he lost his mind? What is he smoking? Aren't there enough girls in Malinovaya Internet Grove?


PAVEL

I don't know… But if he succeeds, then you could bring back, your boss and, make him pay you. I think he will even be happy with such a meeting…


Alexander is sitting behind the monitors and typing on the keyboard.


ALEXANDER

Well, the idiot's dream has come true. Now I've launched my Neural Network for testing to make my dream a reality. I'll select a photo of the famous singer Olga Khrust and upload her data to the Neural Network… Done.


The loading icon appears on the monitor. After a while, the sleeping body of the blonde Olga Khrust appears naked on his bed, quickly assembled by pixels and nano particles. Alexander looks at the bed in bewilderment.
