Dillinger wrote the MCP to administer the company's computer network (in effect an AI ]). However, the MCP had the capacity to learn and grew beyond the confines of its original programming. It began to steal data from other systems, and took control of several companies and institutions. Its intelligence - and ambition - grew nearly out of control, and the MCP grew to desire nothing less than world domination; stating 'from here i can run things 900 to 1200 times better than any human' |

Flynn, in the computer world, allied himself with ], a security program; their combined efforts resulted in the deresolution (death) of the MCP by destroying his heart which is at the center. The MCP then reverted back to its original chess program appearance (which, in the digital universe, appeared as an old man in a control chair) followed by this program vanishing as it was deleted. |
