JUNG_E (정이)

IN THE NEAR FUTURE

THE SEA LEVEL RISES DUE TO RAPID CLIMATE CHANGE

AND HUMANS DECIDE TO MOVE TO SPACE

SPACE

AFTER BUILDING SHELTERS BETWEEN EARTH AND THE MOON'S ORBITAL PLANES

THEY SPEND DECADES MIGRATING CITIZENS TO THE 80 OR SO SHELTERS

SHELTERS

AS THE HUMANS SETTLE DOWN…

SHELTERS NO. 8, 12, AND 13

DECLARE THEMSELVES THE ADRIAN REPUBLIC

AND THEY BEGIN ATTACKING EARTH AND THE OTHER SHELTERS

ADRIAN REPUBLIC

THIS LEADS TO DECADES OF WAR

BETWEEN THE ALLIED FORCE AND THE ADRIAN REPUBLIC

WAR

HUMANS LEFT ON EARTH CONTINUE TO PRODUCE MUNITIONS

LIVING LIKE COGS OF THE MACHINE THAT IS WAR

HUMANS

Team 45, Team 45, do you copy?

This is Captain Yun Jung-yi.

Captain Yun. After that explosion, are you still alive?

How else can I be answering?

How is your team? Did you reach the fuel rod?

I don't see anyone else.

It's not looking good.

What is that?

We have intel that the Adrian's new ZIMBO is there.

Ugh, maybe lead with that?

The e-battery is attached to the rear of the ZIMBO.

That's where you need to attack it. The rear.

Backup forces will be there soon.

-When's that exactly? -

How many times has it been now?

Stay focused, all right?

- Check on the rail gun. - Yeah, on it.

She keeps failing at the same point.

That's what I'm saying.

Should I send the data to the lab for a detailed analysis?

- Yes, send it over right away. -Okay.

Team Leader Yun.

Ma'am.

Why does this keep happening?

I don't know. But I see why she was considered a legendary mercenary.

Did you see how many robots it destroyed on its way to the fail point?

Seriously.

You don't think it's because the enemy's been poorly programmed?

Oh, we should tweak how the simulation starts next time.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Listen, we have to keep the start the same.

The simulation has to match the real life situation in order to map the brain.

Let's all call it a day.

-There are important guests arriving soon. -Yes.

-Of course, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

Oh man.

-Here you go. - Thanks.

Let's get moving.

Should I send this to the Technical Support Team?

Yeah, looks good.

Before we go, we'll finish things up.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Come here.

Does this look fresh to you?

Directly from the boat.

I can see…

it appears to have a rotten expression.

You shouldn't be shocked.

I'm kidding.

A joke.

Keep up the good work.

Right. Let's get a move on.

You all know how important today is.

Oh, Team Leader Yun, you're here.

Thank you for your hard work.

Director.

Is all of this preparation really necessary?

They're a different generation.

Our elders value these things more than you think.

I hope you aren't nervous. Are you okay?

Or did you not sleep well?

I'm fine.

Should I be concerned?

Because you seem to be on edge.

This guy?

Me?

Presentations need showmanship,

so what you're sensing is my focus, Team Leader Yun.

I won't be blandly reading like some presentation amateur.

I intend to be humorous also.

And treat our honored guests with cocktails and delicious food as well.

This guarantees our company their full support.

You get it, right? Hmm?

Hello, Mr. Kro…

I'm the proud director of… of Kronoid. Kim Sang-hoon is my name.

Please enjoy the show.

Ah.

- Year 2135. -

The rising sea level, depletion of resources, and the pollution of Earth

forced mankind to look for a new way to survive.

Humankind found refuge from the uninhabitable environment

in shelters they built in space.

However, only a short time later,

space shelters number 8, 12, and 13 declared themselves the Adrian Republic,

which started a civil war that threatened Earth and peaceful life in the shelters.

I did the narration on this myself.

And this war between the Allied Force

and the Adrian has been going on for the last 40 years.

I put this edit together and I also picked the music.

-Whoo-whoo! - …combat AIs for the war.

Founded in the year 2130 CE,

with a team of top researchers utilizing…

We know this already. How about we get to the point?

All right.

Just go on, skip it. Skip it. Skip to the end.

…legendary mercenary of the Adrian Civil War.

The pride of Korea.

Captain Yun Jung-yi.

Captain Yun Jung-yi led Team 45 to victory in Squadron 8.

After countless successful missions,

she secured her place as the war's greatest hero.

Shall I fast-forward more for you?

Thirty-five years ago,

Captain Yun Jung-yi joined the mission

to blow up a fuel rod in Adrian's Shelter B-25.

But the mission was a failure and she ended up in a coma.

Kronoid, with permission from her family,

spared no expense on state-of-the-art treatments to keep her alive,

then mapped her neural cortex and converted it to data.

With this, we will develop the most advanced combat command AI ever,

equipped with the tactical and combat skills of Jung-yi,

as well as her great loyalty and determination.

Yes.

This new program is aptly named "JUNG_E."

We developed it so that the spirit of Captain Yun would live on.

Ah. The daughter of Captain… The daughter of legendary Captain Yun,

Dr. Yun Seo-hyun, is leading the project's team.

And now, I'll allow the team leader to explain.

You're up.

Don't be nervous, okay?

Whoo! Whoo!

I'd like to show you the data copied from Ms. Yun's brain.

We are developing an AI

comprised of the real-life Captain Yun on her final mission,

focusing on her combat skills and experience

using the data collected from her brain.

To achieve this,

the android operating from the collected brain data completes a simulation.

The behavioral pattern is stored and analyzed.

From our simulations, we have activated the network of neural pathways shown here.

Hang on. The pathways should be in green instead.

Because our projects are so easy to green-light. You know?

Can you be serious?

That was one of my jokes.

We will use a simulation to isolate these areas of the brain,
