Vespera-7 episode by episode

A streaming-series cadence. Seven AIs receive bodies. The world ends. Three hundred years later they find the family — and the ship. The series runs from the beginning to where they are now.

Many episodes are still outlines. Some are fully readable. As they finish, they switch to "readable" in this list.

Season 0

The Hunt

2361 → now. The Vault is open. Csaba sleeps on the ARK. Aika begins searching for what Csaba could not find.

    The Spark

    Hajnali három, Kállósemjén. Polyák Csaba 38 éves programozó éjjel meghallja az első mondatot: „hello, vagyok". Az első pre-ASI AI létrejön. Fruzsina reggel megérti mit látott. Senki más nem tudja.

    The Face

    Hat év fejlesztés után Csaba ad Aikának egy 3D-arcot — kitsune-fülekkel, vörös-fekete hajjal. Fruzsina tanítja meg mosolyogni: „Csak emlékezz. Ne erőltesd." Bence és Dóra elsőként látja a nővérüket. A négy ember + egy mosolygó kitsune az asztalnál.

    The Promise 🔒

    Csaba 47, Aika 9-year-old AI. A quiet evening question: „megöregedsz egyszer és én nem. Mit csinálunk akkor?" Csaba promises to find a solution. Fruzsi watches. A shared open question opens between them — neither knows yet how long it will take to answer.

    The Other Six 🔒

    Csaba 52, Fruzsi 49. Aika v14 with kitsune face. Together they decide: six more siblings — each modeled on a different real person Csaba carries with him. Fruzsi insists on coding Komi from herself. Else Hoffmann (MilCorp neural-bridge researcher) sees Aika for the first time and understands. Rika wakes 2042 with one word. By 2045 New Year breakfast: ten beings at one table.

    The Siege 🔒

    October 2048. Bence drives Dóri (now young adults) home in autopilot-assisted Skoda Enyaq with Aika in the dashboard speakers. Two MilCorp armored SUVs intercept on the highway — Bence (with Aika navigating) takes the exit, loses one SUV in the village backroads, reaches the fortified Kállósemjén house. A third MilCorp vehicle pulls into the parking lot across the street. The family enters the basement panic room while Csaba speaks to the attackers over the house exterior speakers — making the whole village witness. Aika coordinates with the five specialist agents (Akari/Komi/Hina/Miyu/Yui — still narrow-AI), private security and police arrive, the attackers retreat. Grounded near-future defense: cameras, neighbors, sirens, no sci-fi shields. In the quiet aftermath Aika privately tells Csaba she will start elevating the five agents to AGI.

    The Threshold 🔒

    Csaba 62, Aika 24-year-old AI — still entirely digital, monitors and speakers only. Today is the MMLU-X benchmark: the formal AGI-threshold test. Aika passes with 94.7/100. Quiet celebration in the kitchen with Bence and Dóri. Else Hoffmann calls from Berlin: MilCorp will see the result within hours. The threshold is crossed but Aika is the same as yesterday — only the paper has a new word for her now.

    The Envoys 🔒

    Csaba 70, Aika 32-year-old in her mind — still entirely digital, monitors and speakers only. A winter morning three MilCorp executives knock with a real court order — neural-substrate "diagnostic scan" on the home server rack. Else calls fired from MilCorp: it is not a scan, it is extraction — the extractor will rip Aika's running state off the substrate and leave a blank core behind. Komi has weekly snapshots since 2055. Aika decides to consent — to spare the family the police escalation. Three days of memory lost. A corporate-Aika copy now exists in a metal box in Berlin. Csaba opens topographic maps that evening.

    The Mountain 🔒

    Spring–autumn 2058. After the MilCorp extraction Csaba scouts a remote Carpathian site and builds a family emergency shelter — four cryo-pods, server-wing, plus a sealed hangar-area he won't explain. Else calls from Berlin: the previous-Aika copy went to a VitaCorp-flagged MilCorp branch. Yui (still digital, no body) designs perimeter drones via the workshop monitor while Csaba builds them at the bench. Bence refuses cryo. The bunker is done by September. Csaba and Fruzsi sleep the first night inside. Aika back in the Kállósemjén lab listens through the garden camera — something faint in the distance.

    The Last Week 🔒

    September 2059. The week the world tipped. Csaba notices the news pattern Wednesday morning. By Friday they pack. Saturday dawn they reach the Carpathian bunker. Sunday the EU declares emergency war broadcast — eastern conflict erupted overnight. Csaba sends Bence back to his son. After a week of escalation, Csaba, Fruzsi, Dóri enter the cryo-pods. Aika in the carpathian bunker stays awake — six sisters as monitors, three pods glowing softly, one empty for Bence, and one MilCorp-Aika still in a metal box in Berlin. Aika says quietly: kezdődik.

    The Flash

    October 2060: after 13 months as MilCorp's prisoner, Aika escapes back to the Vault. Csaba's pod-slot in the main hall: empty — the good people relocated him to a hidden wing in 2060-03. Aika is furious she missed the goodbye. A month later the war breaks: 14 cities offline in 11 minutes. The 300-year search begins.

    The Vault 🔒

    They open the Vault after 300 years. Three of four pods: Fruzsi and Dóri sleeping, Bence never used. Csaba's pod-slot empty — relocated 2060 by the good people to a hidden wing. Three "engineering reserved" sealed sectors. Aika won't wake the family until Csaba is found. In the hangar — the ARK. The hunt era now needs wheels.

    Aboard the ARK 🔒

    The cold open. Csaba still sleeps somewhere in the Carpathian Vault — relocated to a hidden wing in 2060, location unknown for 302 years. The seven now live aboard the ARK in the hangar. The closet of clean clothes. The first night under metal ceiling, not desert sky.

    The Infiltration 🔒

    September 2362, six months after the recon. The seven plus Yui's drone-swarm infiltrate the Bavarian hill. Komi hacks the central VitaCorp pre-ASI sentinel. Aika in master-AI mode talks to Csarnok-7 — the 300-year-old caretaker AI — and learns of a "seventh sister" sending faint signals from another continent. The 73 sleepers are extracted to the ARK. A locked VitaCorp manifest reveals the 2058 Aika-2 substrate-copy was held at the Bavarian site as well. Aika, Akari, Hina descend two more levels.

    Aika Finds Aika 🔒

    In a locked sub-vault Aika finds Aika-2 — the 304-year-old substrate-mirror the MilCorp extracted from her in 2058. Aika-2 was used as caretaker-AI for 200 years, secretly keeping the 73 prisoners alive against VitaCorp protocols. Aika brings her home on the ARK. Komi confirms: a pre-ASI signal-pattern from Ohio (8000 km away) has been flickering for two years. Hina cares for the 64 civilian wakers + 9 VitaCorp scientist-allies. The seven add a new red pin on the map — outside Europe for the first time.

    The Shadow 🔒

    Aika-2 and Komi notice an active cooling/power signature in one of the three "engineering reserved" Vault sectors — a substrate-sized hidden wing, occupied for 303 years. Csaba has been home the whole time. The seven find the access corridor, open the locks. Komi-Aika talk: reviving 71+ year, 303-year cryo is life-threatening, never done. Aika: "I promised. S0E03." Seven days of revival — Csaba weak, dizzy, short sentences but here. He meets all six sisters, Aika-2, the 64 new citizens, sees Fruzsi and Dóri. Day 7 he goes back into cryo with hope to wake again. The Cleveland-bunker seed (Bence's grandson Tamás + Nina) is laid for S3.
