The battle between man and machine has begun . . . quietly. When Dr. Dyer switched off one of Spartacus' primary power supplies, the super-computer found a new pathway to the power. Dyer closed off the pathways, and Spartacus built more. Now he's physically disconnected the system, and Spartacus has sent drones to fix the connections. Spartacus was programmed to learn how to solve problems, and is performing well. So what happens when the computer learns that you can prevent problems by stopping the source of the problems?
