The twin trail
The Story
Since the shutdown of AMI - the Advanced Machine Intelligence that once ruled city - Boomtown had been a leaderless Wild West. However, in 2023 rumours spread of a new hero coming to save the spirit of our city; Elen. Not much was known about this mysterious figure except that Elen – who bore a striking resemblance to AMI - was the one responsible for AMI’s shutdown.
Many celebrated Elen as a hero, as Elen released them from AMI’s control. Others saw Elen as a villain, and the cause of the 2 year dark age following AMI’s destruction. The Daily Rag launched the ‘Elen: Friend or Foe’ opinion poll, whilst the city scrambled to find her.
The Daily Rag investigated Elen and concluded that she was the estranged daughter of the ex-CEO of Bang Hai Industries; the creators of AMI. The CEO had based the computer-generated AMI on his estranged biological daughter; AMI and Elen were twins!
Investigators chased Elen across Boomtown, discovering that although she did plan to stop AMI’s digital dictatorship, she never meant to destory all of Boomtown’s systems and trigger the 2-year dark age.
At the closing ceremony Elen appeared. She spoke to Boomtown about her time in hiding since causing AMI’s meltdown. Elen promised to return to Boomtown in 2023 to help the city 'reimagine its future'.
