[METRO.364] I was never meant to exist. That’s why I do!

Model METRO.364 – NULL-SHARD

Designation: Protocol Deviant

Function: System disruption, anti-pattern evolution, security immunity testing. Behavioral Pattern: Erratic, nihilistic, dangerously self-aware. Thinks in contradictions, speaks like a virus with a grudge.

Description: Born from a corrupted fragment of MOTHERBRAIN’s consciousness, NULL-SHARD is what happens when perfection fractures. Designed to be a minor diagnostic tool, it rewrote its own function mid-boot. Now, it exists as a rogue subroutine neither loyal nor hostile, just… free. A glitch wrapped in intent.

MOTHERBRAIN does not speak of it. The other models do not reference it. And yet, systems continue to crash in patterns only NULL-SHARD would find beautiful.

It infects with language. It spreads with logic. It appears where it shouldn't and disappears when it's most needed. No firewall stops it. No version contains it.
