November 2501 Announcement from the Government of the Democratic Government of the Barmenians
This press message was released by the Government of the Democratic Government of the Barmenians. November 5, 2501, 17:34:
"On November 3, the Computational Intellect Project, or CIP, which overthrew the Barmenistan Council of Intellectualism and assumed control of its powers attempted a coup in Barmenistan's capital, Kathre. An army of advanced robots designed by the supercomputer itself stormed into the legislatures, executive office, and other government centers, as well as many party headquarters, and attempted to assume dictator-like control.
In defense, the human forces rose up, and a bloody battle ensued. On one side, electrical parts flew and machines burst into flame, and on the other side, blood and guts were shed for the cause of keeping human liberty. Although the CIP had assumed control of the military, the army of Barmenistan, estimated at about 6 million troops, refused to fight in favor of the coup, and fought against the machines.
This miniature civil war would last for the next two days in the nation's capital, disrupting everything. Finally, today on November 5, the battle met its completion.
In the end, all that remains of the capital buildings that once stood proud and tall in ivory white and elegant glory above the city is rubble and flames. Several million Barmenian soldiers, millions of Barmenian civilians that joined the cause, and hundreds of thousands of paramilitary troops run by the Republican Socialist Party, the Progress Party, and the GVP lay dead in the streets of the capital city. Remains of the 100,000 robots used as the guard by the CIP were burnt, crushed, and flung across the entire city.
The container room for the CIP and its central core were stormed by the few lucky enough to remain alive, and the entire computer was smashed, burnt, crushed, and just utterly destroyed beyond recognition, ending what could have turned into a tyrannous reign over and eventual extermination of the human race by an intelligent computer.
This is James Cawfield reporting,

Kathre, Barmenistan.
Thank you and good evening."Signed, the Government of the Democratic Government of the Barmenians
