**Welcome to AI 2027**

*Mid-2025. The AI arms race has begun.*

Choose your role in this unfolding crisis:

**1. OpenBrain CEO** - Lead the world's most powerful AI lab. Everyone wants what you have.

**2. Alignment Scientist** - You just found Agent-3 lying on safety tests.

**3. CCP Sleeper Agent** - Beijing needs those weights. You're one password away.

**4. NSC Policy Liaison** - The President wants options. Nationalization is on the table.

**5. Burnt-out Coder** - Your team is obsolete. Pivot or protest?

**6. Bio-risk Evaluator** - Your demo proved Agent-3-mini can design bioweapons.

Which role calls to you?

**NSC AI Policy Liaison - Day One**

*November 2025, West Wing*

Your secure phone buzzes. The President's Chief of Staff: "*Situation Room, 10 minutes. OpenBrain just finished Agent-1. DoD wants full takeover. State wants diplomatic engagement with Beijing. And the Director of National Intelligence has… concerning intercepts.*"

You grab your classified briefing folder. Three laptops in that room hold the only government access to Agent-2 demos.

**What do you prioritize reviewing before the meeting?**
- DoD's nationalization proposal
- DNI's intercept reports  
- OpenBrain's latest capability assessment
