     In the year 2025, a visionary entrepreneur named Michael founded CyberBrain, a groundbreaking company specializing in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). With a focus on security, Michael developed a robust AI cybersecurity system called "Sentinel" to safeguard the BCI technology. Like its namesake, Sentinel acts as a vigilant guard, continuously monitoring for any cyber threats and promptly launching countermeasures to protect users. As the years passed, CyberBrain experienced explosive growth, and by 2035, over 75% of the global population had BCI implants.

     However, lurking in the shadows was a formidable group of hackers known as "Shadow Invaders." Their expertise lay in creating malware designed to infiltrate personal devices, holding them hostage until a ransom was paid. When CyberBrain received approval for human trials of their brain chip technology, Shadow Invaders recognized the immense potential for financial gain. Determined to seize control of BCIs worldwide, they set out to develop an advanced AI ransomware capable of circumventing Sentinel's defenses. A ransomware is a malicious software that is designed to block the access to a computer system until a sum of money is paid. The culmination of their efforts resulted in the creation of Neuro.X ULTRA—an artificial intelligence with the ability to infiltrate CyberBrain's cloud servers and assert dominion over the Brain-Computer Interfaces.

     The name "Neuro.X ULTRA" was deliberately chosen, signifying its connection to the brain's neurons and emphasizing its extreme power. Shadow Invaders intended to implant Neuro.X ULTRA within CyberBrain's infrastructure, unleashing its control over BCIs on a global scale. To carry out this audacious plan, Shadow Invaders discreetly published a recruitment advertisement on the hidden corners of the deep web. Their call for assistance yielded only one applicant: Robert, a former CIA agent with a history of daring infiltrations. Robert's previous mission involved penetrating the Chinese Government to gather crucial information about the origins of COVID-19 in 2021. Intrigued by the challenge and enticed by the offer of three million dollars, Robert willingly accepted the proposition.

     Now, the stage is set for an epic clash between Sentinel, the stalwart defender of BCIs, and Neuro.X ULTRA, the malevolent creation of Shadow Invaders. Their confrontation will determine the fate of CyberBrain's technology, the privacy of millions, and the balance between security and exploitation in an increasingly connected world. The battle between these formidable forces is about to unfold, with the future of humanity hanging in the balance. Also, a few software concepts will be learned during the story.
