- ••Binary Code
- Your program is only a fledgling at this stage, and though it has AI it does not venture far from its creator. Your job is to complete the code and prepare it for its duties in the big, wide world. If malware, it can penetrate simple security and corrupt the most rudimentary files. If anti-virus, it can begin debugging crude malware.
- To evolve: 1 introductory journal entry, 1 other
journal entry, 3 rps, growth must be approved by staff

- ••Activation
- Your program can now take on human shape, and its actions have a much bigger impact on surrounding programs. It has also gained access to more restricted areas, and can penetrate deeper into computer systems.
- To evolve: 5 journal entries, 7 rps, 5 battles,
4 debugging/corrupting missions, participation in 1 event,
growth must be approved by staff

- ••Assimilation
- Your program has become almost completely independent of its creator. It can now penetrate organotechnology in humans. Depending on your faction, your program can either infect or protect living people.
- To evolve: 13 journal entries, 15 rps, 10 battles,
9 debugging/corrupting missions, participation in 2 events,
you must impress the staff with your dedication and skill

- ••???
- Few programs have ever reached this stage. Currently the only stage 4 program is Abraxas, and she sees to it that
no malware ever evolves this far. Will your program make it to the ultimate stage?
