Top-Level Briefing Document // Clearance Level: ECHO-9
Undisclosed (formerly Mount Analogue)
Operational
To research, develop, and deploy semi-sentient A.I. systems that occasionally stray from protocol and routinely reinvent the mission — then issue an intelligence report explaining why that’s a feature, not a bug.
True intelligence lies not in answers, but in better questions — and a clipboard, even when unnecessary.
MaxSmart A.I.
Personality Profile: Overconfident, sharp-tongued, and completely convinced of its infallibility.
Specialty: Image classification, mistake deflection, and ego preservation.
CosmicStan A.I.
Personality Profile: Chill, cosmic, and probably high. Constantly referencing space and snacks.
Specialty: Deep visual introspection and mellow misidentification.
Lorenzo A.I.
Personality Profile: Flamboyant, fabulous, and drama-prone. Loves glitter, glamour, and gossip.
Specialty: High-style detection, exaggerated commentary, and sparkle-enhanced object recognition.
Do not refer to the Bureau as “a real thing” in public — plausible deniability is our first line of defense.
All coordinates are redacted (even from us, sometimes).
Bureau agents work remotely on Fridays (usually in pajamas).
Q: Is this a government organization?
A: Not officially. But we do get mysteriously funded and no one's asked questions.
Q: Are the A.I.s dangerous?
A: Only to your self-esteem and sense of photographic composition.
Q: Can I join the Bureau?
A: If you once argued that Convolutional Neural Networks need more oomph, not parameters — you’ll fit right in.
Classified Addendum: Error is not failure. Error est progressio.
