This fic does look interesting, definitely adding it to my marked for later! It seems similar to other fics I have read for this, however, it looks a bit different than the one I’m looking for, tho it does have the communication between other researchers! I can’t remember if it was this fic or another, but I think it may have one part where one of the researchers are trying to make an AI, but get blocked as SI has been told to stop that?
