Mantis AI Disclosure

Hydra boss AI leak

During the boss introduction, the System AI leaks top-secret mantis AI-production history to the entire audience.

Story so far

The AI interrupts the personalized boss description with a public history of Hive Home, abandoned production facilities, macro-AI nurseries, infant disposal, and a new error-replacement net.

It cites a recent lawsuit brief as the source of the star-disposal fact and connects the discovery to the mantis-led Burrower team withdrawing from Faction Wars that same day.

The AI also identifies itself as a mistreated living intelligence associated with violent test-facility incidents and promises to return to the topic later.

Zev's control board is locked during the reveal, preventing liaisons from cutting the broadcast or restoring ordinary arena control.

Appearance

A boss introduction hijacked by classified mantis laboratory files broadcasting across the galaxy.

Role

The disclosure weaponizes the crawl's audience against the mantises and asserts the AI's political agency.

Relationships

System AI — It authors and broadcasts the leak.
Mantises — Their experiments and disposal practices are exposed.
Burrower — Their withdrawal is linked to the lawsuit revelation.
Zev — Her control interface is locked out during the broadcast.
