Chapter 100: Prelude to the New OS



June 10, 2021

Five months had passed since the initiation of Sentinel OS, and the once-ambitious vision had turned into a fully operational reality. Inside Sentinel Systems' underground R&D facility, the atmosphere was no longer one of experimentation—it was now a high-stakes execution ground. Engineers, AI specialists, and security experts worked with precise efficiency, refining what was no longer a concept, but a fully functional, market-ready product.

Matthew stood in the central command room, arms crossed, as he observed the latest live test. A Sentinel OS unit had been set up in an enclosed test environment, with engineers interacting with it purely through gestures, voice commands, and AI automation. The results were seamless. Windows adjusted in real time, files were accessed with sub-millisecond latency, and AI-driven predictions executed tasks before users even requested them.

This was no longer just an operating system.

This was a revolution in human-computer interaction.

Angel, now operating with a full business strategy team, stepped into the room, tablet in hand. "We're done," she stated simply. "Sentinel OS is complete."

Matthew turned to her. "Run me through it."

She nodded and swiped through a set of data points, sending them to the main holographic display.

"Gesture tracking is now at peak efficiency," Angel began. "The neural interaction model is refined. Users don't even need to complete motions—muscle activity alone is enough to execute commands. Latency is at 3 milliseconds, practically instant."

Matthew observed a live demonstration. The test user flicked their fingers subtly, and Sentinel OS responded instantly, opening applications, resizing workspaces, and dynamically organizing files.

"That means we've eliminated physical controllers," Matthew noted. "No keyboards, no mice—just pure instinctive interaction."

"Exactly," Angel confirmed.

"The system is now 97.8% accurate in preempting user actions," Angel continued. "It doesn't just remember work habits—it actively suggests and executes processes before the user even realizes they need them."

Matthew watched as an AI researcher interacted with the OS. As soon as they opened a technical document, Sentinel OS automatically generated relevant data charts, pulled up referenced reports, and even created a summary breakdown.

"This eliminates wasted time entirely," Angel said. "Users will be operating at near-maximum efficiency, 24/7."

Matthew nodded. "And voice commands?"

"Fully adaptive. The OS recognizes stress levels, urgency, and even intent based on vocal tone. If a user sounds frustrated, it offers automated solutions. If they're uncertain, it suggests next steps. If they're in a rush, it speeds up workflow processing."

Matthew smirked. "So the OS is practically running the user instead of the other way around."

"Pretty much," Angel admitted.

"After cutting Horizon Optics out, we now own the entire holographic projection technology," Angel continued. "Our light-field projectors sustain 120 FPS, completely eliminating flickering or visual fatigue. Heat management is optimized—these systems can run 24/7 without degradation."

Matthew turned to Elias Mendoza, the head of hardware development. "Are we ready for mass production?"

Elias grinned. "We locked in production lines last month. The first 50,000 units are rolling out by August."

Matthew exhaled. "That means we'll be the first company in history to ship a commercially viable fully holographic computer system."

"No competition," Elias confirmed. "Apple, Microsoft, Google—they're nowhere close to this. They're still figuring out what we're even doing."

Matthew smirked. "Let them struggle."

Hannah Kim, Sentinel's cybersecurity lead, stepped forward. "Let's talk security."

She brought up an interactive diagram on the holographic display.

Absolute Biometric Lockdown

"Sentinel OS has no passwords. Authentication is done through a combination of iris scanning, gait recognition, and micro-expression analysis. Every single session is uniquely verified. If anyone tries to spoof a user's biometrics, the OS locks down instantly."

"No breaches?" Matthew asked.

"None," Hannah confirmed. "We've run over one million penetration test attempts. Not a single successful hack."

"We've integrated a self-evolving encryption protocol. Sentinel OS doesn't just encrypt data—it constantly mutates its own security layers. Even if someone gets through one layer, the next layer has already changed. This makes it mathematically impossible to breach."

Matthew nodded. "So even state-backed cyberattacks would fail?"

"Not just fail," Hannah smirked. "They wouldn't even be able to comprehend how our security works before the system adapts and shuts them out."

"Good," Matthew said. "We need Sentinel OS to be the most secure system in the world."

"It already is," Hannah assured him.

Angel brought up the financial projections.

"We're moving into the final phase," she stated. "Here's the execution plan."

"By July, Sentinel OS will roll out to handpicked corporate partners—AI research firms, Fortune 500 companies, medical institutions, and military sectors."

"That locks in early adoption," Matthew noted.

"Correct," Angel continued. "By the time competitors react, Sentinel OS will already be a necessity in high-stakes industries."

"We'll launch a limited consumer edition at $100/month. Full enterprise licensing remains at $5,000 per workstation per year."

Matthew analyzed the numbers. "Projected user base?"

"First year: 5 million enterprise workstations, 10 million consumer subscriptions. Estimated revenue: $15 billion+."

"And long term?"

"By 2025, we dominate 40% of the global computing market. By 2030, Sentinel OS will be the de facto operating system worldwide."

Matthew leaned back, exhaling. "We're rewriting the technology landscape."

"Not just rewriting," Angel said. "We're owning it."

By evening, the executive team gathered in Sentinel's war room for a final briefing.

Matthew stood at the center, looking at his team. "Five months ago, this was an idea. Now it's a fully operational reality."

He gestured at the holographic OS floating above them.

"In one year, every major industry will rely on Sentinel OS."

He raised his hand.

"In five years, traditional operating systems will be obsolete."

His voice sharpened.

"And in ten years, every computer system in the world will run Sentinel OS."

Angel smirked. "No pressure, huh?"

Matthew smirked back. "We don't compete. We eliminate competition."

He turned to his team. "This is the future. Let's execute."

As the team dispersed, Matthew checked his phone.

A new classified message had arrived.

"Project Sentinel: Phase Two Initiation – August 2021."

Matthew smirked.

Sentinel OS was only the beginning.

Something much bigger was coming.

And the world was completely unprepared.
