1. To work for Morningstar, Connor will need to express this as an interest to one of the NPCs (this can be handwaved!). This will then be passed on to those higher up in the organization, and Connor will enter an informal provisional period where she will be tapped for tasks and jobs. These will progress as he earns more trust.
Connor won't always have to be on the job, so he won't have to worry about "coming and going," so to speak.
2. This sounds like a great job! He'll have to familiarize himself with a lot of different avenues to do the job well, so he'll likely be encouraged to take the actual certification course.
3. There are no known surviving AI! It is believed that all were destroyed during the war, and though it was a concern that some may have escaped, given it's been several hundred years now, it's considered very unlikely that they would not have resurfaced or been found since.
4. The Xelkoven War (named for Xelkov, the largest manufacturer of AI at the time), also known as the AI War, started in 2095 and lasted for 6 years, ending in 2101, with an estimated death toll of 1.2 billion (human). It began when Elysian, Xelkov's most popular smart home AI, killed 50 families simultaneously. Though the AI was deleted immediately after the incident and a thorough investigation started to find the cause and prevent anything similar happening again, the incident was a catalyst. Whether inspired by Elysian's actions or motivated in response to the anti-AI sentiment that spread in the aftermath, other AI began acting against humans, often violently. Within the span of 6 months, events soon escalated to all out war, fought on both the physical and digital battlefields. With AI having no need for food, sleep, and being able to manufacture new units whenever needed, the war was largely one of resistance against an overwhelming force for several years, and it was often believed that it would be lost, with humans exterminated. Eventually some breakthroughs were made in development of viruses and electronic disruption weapons, allowing for a few key battles to finally turn the tide of the war. The last AI was deleted in 2101. The end of the war has been celebrated annually since with the holiday of Resolution Day, remembering how humanity survived through resilience, tenacity and fortitude, and standing as a reminder for why the strict laws on Artificial Intelligence development are necessary and must be adhered to.
