#238: Fäter: The World's Last Dictator

     Okay, time for a new character. Ladies and gents, Fäter! Remember those times I said that the JC-Verse's planet Earth was going to meet its cruel and palindromey demise in the year 4114 AD? Good ol' times there. But I never actually told you what causes the catastophe in the first place. Well, all you Nibiru believers left over from 2012 can rest easy, because what takes us (or really, the JC-Verse version of us) down just so happens to be something competely different: ourselves. Or rather, our own creation. In Flogel, a future European nation smack dab where Germany and France used to be, a scientist wows the world with the first robot built with a human-equivalent consciousness, whom he names Fäter. This android dominates the press, becoming a superstar even bigger than the Kardashian overloards of our current society. Everything looks fine at first. But as Fäter furthers his knowledge of Earth, he gets more corrupted, and more corrupted, until he gets a little idea of how he can use all this star power of his. To rule us. And that's exactly what the artificially intellegent son of a gun does, reigning surpreme through his one-world government and destroying everybody who resists his rule. All you people who "survived" Y2K must be feeling like a bunch of straight-up n00bs now, huh?
