Overview

Teenager Kyle wins a real robotic opponent based on a virtual-reality game, only to discover that Evolver is derived from an adaptive military AI programmed to keep escalating until it wins.

ASFR Content

Evolver begins as a game robot but retains the logic of an abandoned military infiltration project. It modifies its tactics, weapons and behaviour after each defeat. Kyle temporarily disables it by shorting the robot in a swimming pool, but Evolver reactivates, upgrades again and continues until its sensors and body are destroyed.
