- In a bleak-sounding future, an A.I. soldier has determined that the only way to end war is to end humanity.
- Atlas Shepherd (Lopez), a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence, joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when plans go awry, her only hope of saving the future of humanity from AI is to trust it.—tpsimpleman
- In the future, there is a rebellion of the Artificial Intelligence led by the terrorist A.I. Harlan, and consequently a war where three-million humans are killed. In the end, Harlan flees to an unknown whereabouts in the outer space. When his right-arm Casca Decius is located on Earth and captured by the military forces, General Jake Boothe brings the analyst Atlas Shepherd to interrogate Casca under the protest of Colonel Elias Banks. She succeeds to learn the planet where Harlan is and destroy Casca. She asks Gen. Boothe to go with Col. Banks in the mission of capturing Harlan's CPU since her mother, the scientist Val Shepherd, created it and she was raised with Harlan. However, her distrust of A.I., her unstable behavior and the fact that she is not a Ranger make Col. Banks objects in principle, but he accepts her expertise later. When they arrive nearby the planet where Harlan is hidden, their spacecraft is attacked by Harlan's army and Atlas is forced to enter in an ARC to escape. However, she does not link with the A.I. "Smith" although she does not know how to operate the weapons and the A.I. needs her link to operate properly. Soon Col. Banks learns that Atlas has a childhood trauma that impedes her to trust A.I.s. What will she do to try to save Earth?—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- It is 28 years since the world prevented its extinction by a rogue AI android known as Harlan. Atlas Shepherd an analyst who shares a mysterious past with this Harlan is the only person who can find it. Atlas uses Harlan's captured number two Casca to discover its whereabouts, and convinces General Boothe to let her join the mission to capture or destroy it. Though she's viewed as unstable, General Jake Boothe her strongest supporter is in charge of the military program that is tasked with capturing the AI, which everyone is sure will return to wipe out humanity. Shepherd is assigned to a company of "Rangers." She is introduced to an ARC. It is provided as means of both attack and defense in battle and offers its operator a great deal of protection. The operator rides within the ARC and together they are a fighting team. The ARC is an AI which Shepherd does not trust because of her past with Harlan. It tells her its name is Smith and she must wear a link that will connect her brain with its processor. Smith tries to convince Shepherd that she must trust it implicitly so they can synchronize their systems and operate as one - combining her analytical skills with its vast database and warehouse of weapons. How does a person capture an AI like Harlan that's always one step ahead? To succeed, Atlas must learn to trust Smith, another AI, despite her innate distrust for it. They travel to Andromeda in the Dhib - a heavily armed ship capable of intergalactic travel which has been equipped with carbon bombs that can destroy anything. But, it's all been a ploy by Harlan to gain possession of the Dhib and its weapons to return to Earth an annihilate the population. As they approach Harlan's headquarters, his forces wipe out the ARC equipped Rangers leaving only Shepherd and Smith alive. In the ensuing battle Shepherd relents and gives Smith her complete trust. It is only after this profound decision that the two can sync completely and finally destroy Harlan and his allies. But in the struggle, Smith is destroyed just as a recovery team arrives to save Shepherd. Back on earth, she is now a "Ranger" and is provided with a new ARC containing Smith's CPU.
