Personal history

Cozine Probes were technological marvels sent out into the galaxy to explore and survey. They were capable of collecting data at the atomic level and storing that information from whole star systems. Thousands of probes went out, forty percent came back with a wealth of survey data that could have kept the gigacorporations busy for centuries. This was all lost when Cozine-07 returned.
Nobody is certain why, but 07 came back altered. It was convinced that the human race was a disease to be eraticated. It first conquered Saturn, taking control of the military drone factorums there. The expansion of 07's influence from there was explosive and violent, and most of Saturn's moons were scoured of life. A few of their people survived in the extensive tunnel network, but by the time the distress calls had been processed Earth was powerless to send assistance. The Cozine AI flooded the Solarnet, destroying humanity's ability to communicate and chopping the system into individual worlds, vulnerable to the advancing hordes of combat drones. Even the other Cozine AIs were destroyed, annihilated and converted into mindless weapons. One by one, the planets fell alone and silent in space. They put up a fierce resistance, but they believed that they were doomed from the start. In the end, only the worst of humanity did more than survive; the zealots, criminals, fanatics, and lunatics fought on.
The last two leaders of the organized resistance, Gideon Voss of the Disciples of the Event Horizon of Man and Sebastian Frost , leader of a Terran nationalist movement, came up with a suicidal plan. Gideon would take all that remained of the Disciples and mount a direct attack on the Cozine-07 platform itself, using their own cybernetically-augmented minds as logic bombs to destroy the rogue AI. Sebastian, who had been fighting from Sertori Station as it generated a stream of Exemplars , was to land on Earth and join the fight there, the last real fight of the system. Gideon invaded the station, losing most of the disciples in the star battle before landing, and losing most of what he had left in the vicious corridor-to-corridor fighting against Cozine-07's combat drones. The final team, led by Gideon himself, jacked directly into the mainframe and they and the Cozine AI shredded each other. When the lights came back on, both the Disciples and the AI were gone, replaced by the Apogee of the Singularity .
