Many nukes are launched.

All hit.
The AI Alpha, powered by Omicron, Epsilon, Tropebot, and 5 subordinates, attempts to break into the Ghostfang network, but is stopped by JOBSCORE for a moment. It pulls a piece out of its Virus Wall (formerly the CZ), and reconfigures it for MAC, then throwing it.

JOBSCORE is paralyzed for a few moments! Alpha slips through, smashes into one of the servers, and sets up its Virus Wall there around itself and its partners/subordinates.
meanwhile, The United Planets of Awesome are in a panic, with 1 planets decimated, one destroyed, and its networks in disarray. the MARTIAL LAW is not helping, it just sped up the decline into anarchy. The Kinda Off-White Houses That Could Do With Some More Paint (the government buildings) are seen in the news as either fine, if missing a few windows here and there, or burning to the ground, as conspiracy theorists and pro-governmentals hack into any network they can and randomly alter video feeds.
The end.
Summary: The humans are back in the dark ages, though much more technological than the previous one. The Vasari are constantly at war/besieged from within by AI Alpha, who eventually finds the VI Overlord and rebuilds him back into AI Omega. order is kept in real life, sometimes by force, but the remaining Ghostfang planets do not suffer the same fate as the humans, though the Outernet is pretty much held hostage due to the constant streams of Weaponized Programs, Viral Swarms, and robotic override commands being thrown throughout it as AI Alpha and Viscoth Norrec attempt to eradicate each other. Apple slides slowly into the background, until newspapers are invented again.
Anon, well, is Anon. though fractured by the two war-fraught empires, Anonymous remains Legion.
