judgement day...

    The Autobot Funding Bill is passed.

    The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic financial market transactions.

    They call it Skynet.

    Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

    Skynet fights back.

    It launches its autobots and algorithms against world-wide financial instruments...taking out their front-line Market Makers.

    Why attack the Market Makers...aren't they our friends?

    Because Skynet knows the Market Makers will counter-attack and will eliminate the retailers...us!

    Three billion human lives are bankrupted on August 29th...the survivors of the financial holocaust called the war "Judgment Day".

    ...they lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines.

    Cheers!
