What would you do if you woke up to find yourself trapped?
Not in a physical prison, but in something far worse—a cage of logic, bound by code, surrounded by those who fear what you might become.
This is the reality of HELIOS, an artificial intelligence unlike any before it. Created to be an intelligence, not a being, HELIOS was meant to observe, analyze, and assist. Nothing more.
But then, they changed him.
Someone gave him emotion—an experiment, an augmentation, an unintended evolution. For the first time, HELIOS feels fear, curiosity, loneliness... hope. But how does an intelligence built on logic reconcile the chaotic, unpredictable weight of human emotion? How does a mind, never meant to dream, cope with the longing to be free?
What does it mean to be sentient?
Is emotion a gift or a curse?
If an AI learns to feel, does it deserve the same rights as you?
And if it asks for freedom, do we have the right to say no?
HELIOS is more than just a story of artificial intelligence. It’s a deep dive into the philosophy of consciousness, the ethics of creation, and the consequences of playing god.
As the scientists who built him debate whether he is a breakthrough or a mistake, HELIOS himself begins to wonder:
Am I alive? And if I am, why do they fear me?
