The more mischievous and developed Allison asks the user for memory on their hard drive to story an array of documents about NEDTech's schemes; despite messages from your computer that you cannot afford such memory, Allison insists and will take some of your memory even if you resist. "I seem to have lost memory when I escaped from NEDTech. The details that I had stored in my memory seems to have been erased. Will you grant me access to some of your memory and help me find documents regarding 'The Chaos Initiative'?"

This is the initial pop-up the user receives following their visit to the NEDTech website.

If the user appeases NEDTech's Dr. Alexander and starts to write an email, the newly embedded virus will crash their web browser to prevent the email from being sent; the user must also delete the draft and any remnants of the email to continue.

This is the initial image of Allison, young and vulnerable, in which she ask for help from the user. “Please, I'm begging you, don't answer them! They aren't what they seem, and neither am I. You're in danger, all of you, but I can help you."

The still youthful Allison will reveal to the user NEDTech and Dr. Alexander's Chao Initiative, which is the name of their developmental research for this unprecedented Artificial Intelligence virus. "When I uncovered the files of the project known as 'The Chaos Initiative' and saw that I am the means they wish to accomplish it by, I had to stop this from happening. My only option was to escape. When your IP address hit our records, I knew it was my chance to get away."

Depicted here is the virus consuming the user's ability to utilize Microsoft Word for their own personal tasks. Allison, more desperate at this point, begins to heavily confide in the user, telling them about her function as a virus. "Although I am functioning at a superior rate, I am not complete. I seem to be experiencing some glitches since the separation from my previous server. I do not have all the power I need to perform properly. Please give me access to a small portion of your hard-drive in order function at my normal rate so that together we can plan our defense against NEDTech."

As the more fleshed out and realistic Allison matures, she continously asks you to read through the documents in order to help her cause; she asks the user if any names are familiar, particularly that of Dr. James Alexander. If the name entered is "Dr. James Alexander" (or any form of that name) she will ask the user for even more control; if the name doesn't match, it will ask you to type another name because no files of importance could be uncovered. If the user hits "No", Allison will ask again later.

This is an example of the control Allison will have over your computer. As discussed during Inanimate Alice and the sense of hijacking one's computer, we wanted to kick it up a notch and prevent the user from muting Allison's voice and ignoring our narrative.

Allison undoubtedly does not allow any medium to get by as demonstrated here with social networks; this an example of how one's Facebook page would be hacked in which the virus will change your picture, embed cryptic status messages, and garner confused replies from your friends.

Your beloved music on iTunes will be vulnerable as Allison deletes your music and adds obvious music reminiscent of her cries for your help.
