AI and ML in Cybersecurity: How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Threat Detection and Prevention

The digital landscape is a battleground. Every day, new threats emerge, seeking to exploit vulnerabilities and compromise sensitive information. Traditional cybersecurity measures, while essential, are often reactive, struggling to keep pace with the sheer volume and sophistication of modern cyberattacks. This is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) step onto the scene, fundamentally reshaping how we approach threat detection and prevention. These technologies are no longer theoretical concepts; they are actively deployed, offering a comprehensive and real-time response to the ever-evolving cyber threat matrix.

A Comprehensive Look at the Role of AI and Machine Learning in Identifying and Responding to Cyber Threats in Real Time

At its core, cybersecurity relies on identifying anomalies and malicious activities. This is precisely where AI and ML excel. Unlike human analysts who can be overwhelmed by vast datasets, AI algorithms can sift through petabytes of network traffic, system logs, and threat intelligence feeds in milliseconds. This allows for the identification of suspicious patterns, unusual behaviors, and indicators of compromise that would be invisible to traditional, signature-based detection methods.

Machine learning, a subset of AI, empowers systems to learn from data without explicit programming. In cybersecurity, this translates to systems that can constantly adapt and improve their threat detection capabilities. For instance, a machine learning model can be trained on a massive dataset of both legitimate and malicious network traffic. Over time, it learns to distinguish between normal operations and potential threats, even those that haven't been seen before. This real-time analysis and adaptive learning are critical in an environment where new malware strains and attack techniques emerge daily.

Beyond detection, AI and ML are also transforming response mechanisms. Once a threat is identified, AI-powered systems can initiate automated responses, such as isolating infected devices, blocking malicious IP addresses, or rolling back compromised systems. This drastically reduces the time between detection and remediation, minimizing the potential damage of a cyberattack.

How AI Algorithms Are Being Used to Detect Patterns, Predict Attacks, and Automate Response Systems

The power of AI in cybersecurity stems from its ability to process and understand complex data relationships. Here's a closer look at its applications:

Pattern Detection: AI algorithms, particularly those leveraging deep learning, are adept at identifying intricate patterns that signify malicious activity. This includes subtle changes in user behavior, unusual login attempts, abnormal data transfers, or deviations from established network baselines. For example, a deep learning model could detect that an employee who normally accesses specific files from their office IP is suddenly trying to access highly sensitive data from a foreign IP address at 3 AM – a clear indicator of a potential compromise.

Predictive Analytics: One of the most exciting applications of AI in cybersecurity is its ability to predict attacks before they even occur. By analyzing historical attack data, vulnerabilities, and emerging threat intelligence, ML models can identify trends and potential targets. This allows organizations to proactively strengthen their defenses, patch vulnerabilities, and implement preventative measures before they are exploited. For instance, an AI system might predict that a specific industry sector is about to be targeted by a new ransomware variant based on observed indicators of compromise in other regions.

Automated Response Systems: The speed of cyberattacks demands an equally swift response. AI-powered Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms are at the forefront of this. When a threat is detected, these systems can automatically execute a predefined playbook of actions. This could involve quarantining an infected endpoint, blocking a malicious domain at the firewall level, revoking user credentials, or even initiating forensic data collection. This automation significantly reduces the burden on security teams, allowing them to focus on more complex and strategic tasks.

Challenges in Implementing AI and ML in Cybersecurity, Including Accuracy, Scalability, and the Need for Skilled Professionals

While the benefits of AI and ML in cybersecurity are undeniable, their implementation is not without its hurdles:

Accuracy and False Positives/Negatives: AI models are only as good as the data they are trained on. If the training data is biased or incomplete, the model can generate a high rate of false positives (identifying legitimate activity as malicious) or false negatives (failing to detect actual threats). Striking the right balance to minimize these errors is a continuous challenge requiring meticulous data curation and model tuning.

Scalability: As organizations grow, so does the volume of data generated. Scaling AI and ML systems to process and analyze this ever-increasing dataset in real-time requires significant computational resources and robust infrastructure. The cost and complexity associated with this scalability can be a barrier for some organizations.

Need for Skilled Professionals: Implementing, managing, and interpreting AI and ML-driven cybersecurity solutions requires a specialized skill set. Data scientists, machine learning engineers, and cybersecurity analysts with expertise in AI are in high demand, and the shortage of such professionals can hinder effective deployment and utilization of these technologies. Understanding the nuances of AI model behavior and being able to troubleshoot issues requires a deep level of expertise.

Adversarial AI: Malicious actors are also leveraging AI. This "adversarial AI" involves techniques designed to trick or evade AI-powered security systems, for example, by subtly modifying malware to appear benign. Combating these sophisticated attacks requires constant innovation and refinement of defensive AI models.

Case Studies of Successful AI-Driven Cybersecurity Tools That Have Enhanced Threat Intelligence and Reduced Attack Timelines

Numerous examples demonstrate the tangible impact of AI and ML in cybersecurity:

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Solutions: Modern EDR platforms heavily leverage AI to analyze endpoint activity, detect anomalous behavior, and respond to threats in real time. For instance, CrowdStrike Falcon uses machine learning to identify and prevent ransomware attacks by analyzing file execution patterns and system calls, even for previously unknown variants. This has drastically reduced the time it takes to contain and remediate endpoint compromises.

Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) Tools: Companies like Darktrace utilize unsupervised machine learning to build a "self-learning AI" model of an organization's normal network behavior. Any deviation from this learned baseline, no matter how subtle, triggers an alert. This has enabled the detection of insider threats, compromised accounts, and sophisticated attacks that bypass traditional perimeter defenses.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Platforms: Next-generation SIEMs integrate AI and ML capabilities to correlate security events from disparate sources, identify complex attack chains, and prioritize alerts. IBM QRadar, for example, uses machine learning to identify hidden threats and reduce alert fatigue, allowing security teams to focus on critical incidents.

Fraud Detection Systems: Financial institutions employ AI and ML extensively to detect fraudulent transactions in real-time. By analyzing spending patterns, location data, and historical transaction behavior, AI models can flag suspicious activities, preventing financial losses for both institutions and customers.

The Future of AI and ML in Cybersecurity and How These Technologies Will Evolve to Combat Increasingly Sophisticated Threats

The journey of AI and ML in cybersecurity is just beginning. As threats become more sophisticated, so too will the technologies designed to combat them:

Self-Healing Networks: The future envisions highly autonomous security systems that can not only detect and respond to threats but also automatically self-heal and reconfigure themselves to mitigate vulnerabilities. This could involve automated patch deployment, network segmentation, and system hardening without human intervention.

Contextual Intelligence: Future AI systems will move beyond simply detecting anomalies to understanding the full context of a threat. This will involve integrating with business processes, user identities, and external threat intelligence to provide a richer, more actionable understanding of attacks.

Explainable AI (XAI): As AI systems become more complex, the need for transparency and explainability grows. Future developments in XAI will allow security analysts to understand why an AI system made a particular decision, fostering trust and enabling better human oversight.

Proactive Threat Hunting: AI will play an increasingly significant role in proactive threat hunting, autonomously sifting through vast datasets to uncover latent threats and potential attack vectors before they can be exploited.

Quantum-Resistant AI: The advent of quantum computing poses a significant threat to current encryption methods. Research is already underway to develop quantum-resistant AI algorithms that can secure systems against future quantum attacks.

In conclusion, AI and ML are not merely augmenting human capabilities in cybersecurity; they are fundamentally transforming the field. From real-time threat detection and predictive analytics to automated responses and proactive threat hunting, these technologies are equipping organizations with unprecedented levels of resilience. While challenges remain, the continuous evolution of AI and ML promises a future where cyber defenses are more intelligent, adaptive, and ultimately, more effective in safeguarding our digital world. The arms race between attackers and defenders will continue, but with AI and ML on our side, the advantage is steadily shifting towards robust and intelligent protection.

Rooster's Twin Sister – Jake Seresin

Rooster's POV

The entire time I've been in the Top Gun program, no one has found out about my twin sister, Y/N. We both ended up going into the Navy. I became a pilot but Y/N became a mechanic—a damn good one, too.

A few years ago, Y/N, Maverick, and I were at lunch one day when Maverick and I found out more about Y/N's job. She was working at a garage in town and one of the guys wouldn't leave her alone. Most of the guys made jokes, accidentally brushed her when they walked by. All in all, they made her extremely uncomfortable.

After pushing her to tell us everything that was going on, Maverick convinced her to become a mechanic for the Navy. With her experience, her degree, and Maverick's recommendation, it would be easy for her to get in.

It took a lot more convincing, planning, and badgering before Y/N finally agreed to let Maverick send in her resume. Three days later, she had a job on a Navy base. She quickly became the top mechanic. She's not assigned to just one base. She moves around. She basically goes anywhere she's needed.

I walked into my and Y/N's shared apartment to see her keys already hanging up by the door.

"Y/N?"

"In the kitchen," she called back. I hung my keys next to hers and walked into the kitchen. When I got to the kitchen, I looked around to see her making her favorite pasta dish.

"What are we celebrating?" I asked as I immediately stepped in and started to help.

"Maverick called me today," she mumbled.

"He invite you to dinner Sunday?"

"Well, yeah," she chuckled. Her smile dropped. "He also told me about that Petty Officer that sabotaged your planes."

"Oh yeah," I scoffed. "Guy tried to. . . Wait, why was he telling you about that?"

"He talked me through what the Petty Officer did," she explained. "He asked if it was easy to reverse."

"Is it?"

"Very," she smiled again. "I told him it would only take an hour to reverse it."

"One hour to reverse it on all of our planes?"

"Well, an hour per plane," she smirked. "But I could easily get it done in a day or two. It was a small issue. Honestly, I could've done worse in high school."

"Did you explain to Maverick how to reverse it?" I chuckled.

"I didn't have to," she said, suddenly avoiding my eyes. "He asked me to come in next week and look at your planes and reverse the sabotage."

"That's awesome," I started to say, but she cut me off.

"He also wants me to see if I can tweak the computers so they can fight against anyone else who tries to sabotage or hack the planes."

"I didn't know you could do stuff with computers," I said, realizing just how long it's been since I had a real talk with my twin sister.

"I got a minor in cyber security, Bradley," she sighed.

"Did Maverick know?" I asked.

"I helped him put a few extra layers of security on the airplane hangar he keeps his plane in before he started training you guys. Now, Maverick wants me to spiff up the security on all your planes."

"How long would that take?"

"I said maybe two weeks," I shrugged. "Nothing more. But Maverick didn't put in for a limited transfer."

"What did he put in for?" I asked. I studied her and instantly knew what he put in for. I smiled as I answered my own question, "He got you permanently transferred to our base."

"Are you. . . Are you okay with that?"

"Of course," I laughed as I turned and stirred the sauce. Y/N grabbed my arm and pulled me back so I was facing her again.

"Are you really?" She double-checked. "I don't want to come to your base and. . . I know that you don't like me following you around. . . I mean, we're each our own person. And. . . Well, does your team even know about me?"

"They don't," I sighed. I hated that the look in her eyes slightly dropped. "The only reason I didn't tell them about you was to protect you. As soon as they find out I have a twin sister, I know several of them will look you up on the Navy website."

"And they'll think I'm disgusting?" She fake laughed.

"No," I said firmly. "They'll think you're amazing and bother me until I bring you around."

"And you don't want to bring me around because. . ."

"I don't want to bring you around them because I don't want them tripping over themselves to get to you."

"Like they would do that," she scoffed under her breath and walked back to the stove. I sighed before setting the table.

I hated it when she did this. Y/N's always struggled with her confidence. Part of it has to do with her being a mechanic. The other part was typical teenage girl stuff.

I thought that she'd grown past that.

As we ate, I got an idea. "What if I took you to my favorite Navy bar on the beach and we can celebrate you coming to base?"

"Your favorite Navy. . . Won't your friends be there?"

"I hope they are," I smiled at her.

"You want. . . You want me to meet your friends?"

"I do, Y/N."

Reader's POV

I subconsciously straightened out my uniform that I rarely wore. Bradley looked over my shoulder and laughed.

"What?" I scoffed. "I'm usually in my mechanic jumpsuit."

"You look good," he chuckled as he opened the bar door. As soon as we were surrounded by other Navy guys, my heart jumped into my throat. With my nerves and anxiety all over the place, I grabbed my twin brother's hand.

"It's okay," he said under his breath. "If the guys look at you wrong, just let me know. I'll kick their ass."

I rolled my eyes as he kissed my cheek.

"Bradshaw. As I live and breathe."

I looked away from my brother to see a guy smirking at me. His eyes fell on me and his smirk changed.

"And who is this, Bradshaw?" The guy asked.

"This is Y/N," he introduced me. "Y/N, this is my team. Phoenix, Bob, Payback, Fanboy, Omaha, Coyote, and Hangman."

"It's nice to put faces to the names on the sides of planes," I chuckled.

"What does that mean?" Coyote challenged.

"Easy, Lieutenant," I chuckled. "I'm a Navy mechanic."

"She's the best mechanic the Navy has ever seen," Bradley bragged about me as he threw his arm around my shoulders. "And she's joining our unit."

"You're the mechanic Maverick called after someone hacked our planes," Phoenix said as she crossed her arms over her chest. "He seemed to believe that you could reverse it."

"She already did," Bradley smirked. "She went in today and reversed it on my plane. She even added like 7 layers of security."

"I only added one," I scoffed, pushing his arm off me. "And spiffed up the original security and added my own code to strengthen it."

"Do Navy Mechanics have callsigns?" Bob asked, making me smile.

"Sort of," I shrugged.

"Sort of?" Fanboy asked.

"Callsigns are only meant for pilots," I said like it should've been obvious. "Don't all pilots know that?"

"We do," Fanboy said crossing his arms over his chest.

"Well, mechanics aren't pilots. But we do have nicknames for each other," I clarified.

"What's yours?" Phoenix asked, glancing at the other guys with a smirk on her face.

"Tinkerbell."

"Tinkerbell?" They all repeated.

"Yeah," I shrugged. "Mechanics 'tinker' with things and I'm a girl. Tinkerbell."

I sent Bradley a smirk, making the two of us laugh. I looked over to see Hangman studying us.

"So, Bradshaw," he finally spoke up, "how do you know the Navy's Best Mechanic?"

I glanced at him, not sure if he was going to tell his flight crew the truth.

"Y/N is my twin sister."

"You're what?!" His team gasped in sync.

"Do you guys always talk in sync?" I asked, making Bradley laugh. "You've done it twice now."

"You have a twin sister, Bradshaw?" Hangman laughed. "You are his twin sister? That's not possible."

"Why not?" I challenged.

"Well, he's eck and you're hmm."

I turned to my brother and said, "I don't know whether to be flattered or offended."

"Offended," Bradley answered instantly. He turned toward Hangman, his Protective Brother Glare on his face, and added, "With Hangman, the default should always be offended."

* * * * *

When we got home later that night, Bradley talked to me for over an hour. For some reason, he made it his life mission that I know everything about his team. Especially Hangman.

Bradley spent most of the time warning me about the kind of guy Lieutenant Jake "Hangman" Seresin truly was. He wanted to make sure I knew what kind of game he played and how he treated/talked about women.

I'd be lying if I didn't get the "womanizer" vibe from him. All night it felt like he was studying me. He'd say things that were clearly meant to be brags. After he said them, he'd look at me like he was waiting for me to be impressed.

I've been here a little under a week now and Hangman has fulfilled every warning my brother gave me. He was busy on the flight simulator while I was working on his plane. When I get working, I tend to tune everything around me out. So much so, I didn't hear someone walk in.

"Gotta say," someone said as they walked in. "Seeing another body in my cockpit doesn't sit well with me."

"Aww," I fake-cooed. "Is Mr. Hangman feeling a bit self-conscious about his cockpit?"

I smirked and the look in his eyes slightly darkened. I laughed as I went back to tweaking the security.

"Can you at least tell me what you're doing to my plane?"

"Your baby is perfectly safe with me, Hangman," I said. "I've almost broken down the previous hack. Once I get it off, I can put in my own code of security."

"You write code?" He challenged.

"I'm not just a mechanic," I sighed. "I got my degree in cyber security. A part of that is understanding code. Once you understand it, it's easy to write."

Hangman kept asking me random questions as I worked on his plane. Most of the questions were about Bradley and my childhood. I didn't give him full answers—just your basic half-assed ones —until he brought up the bar.

"You didn't seem impressed by me," he laughed off.

"Was I supposed to be?" I challenged. I glanced over my shoulder and smirked when I saw his jaw clenched.

"Well, yeah," he tried to shrug off. "My numbers and stats are. . ."

"Let me stop you right there," I cut him off and stopped what I was doing. "Something you should realize, Hangman, is the fact that I am constantly surrounded by insecure men who think they have to prove they're more masculine than me."

"More masculine than you?" He smirked.

"My brother wasn't exaggerating when he told you guys that I'm the best mechanic the Navy's got," I explained. "Men don't like women trampling their turf. They get defensive and angry and insecure."

"Why are you telling me this?" He asked, his usual bravado failing.

"Because I wanted you to know why I wasn't falling for your little tricks," I said, turning back and finishing what I was doing on his plane. "You do know that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning, you catch more women with honesty than with lies."

I sent him a look before wrapping it up. The entire time I finished working, Hangman stayed where he was and watched me. I got hyper-focused on his plane and forgot he was there until I climbed down. My foot missed the third-to-last step. I would've fallen if Hangman wasn't there.

He caught my hips and we both went down. We landed with matching grunts.

"You okay?" He asked, his arms still wrapped around me. My brother's words of warning popped back into my mind.

"I'm good," I said, standing up and brushing myself off. I looked up, instantly coming face-to-face with Hangman. "Thank you."

"Of course," he said, instantly snapping back into his cocky demure.

I saw the clock on the wall and smirked. I crossed my arms over my chest and slightly shifted my weight.

"You might want to get out of here."

"And why's that?" He asked, copying my stance.

"My twin brother is on his way and if you're here when he gets here, he'll throw you off this ship."

"Your brother warned you about me?" He laughed, but there was a bit of concern hiding in his eyes.

"Oh yeah," I chuckled. "He warned me thoroughly about you."

"What if I told you I was actually a good guy?" He asked, his voice slightly dropping. "And that I only act this way because everyone expects me to?"

I scoffed as I started to walk away. "Y/N," he stuttered.

"Guys only say that because they're too embarrassed or insecure to man up," I cut him off. "They either act like dicks because they are playing a facade to cover up an insecurity. Or they act like dicks because they are dicks. So my question for you, Hangman, is which type are you?"

I couldn't help but smirk when I saw the look on his face before walking away.

Vegass is cyber security hard too? I'm thinking about majoring in it.. 🤔

it really depends !!!! if you have little to no experience with like IT, coding / programming you’re gonna struggle. also you’re probably aware but you’re gonna be dealing with lots and lots of math, so i wouldn’t recommend that field if that’s not your thing.��️ it’s pretty cool tho, and it gives you nice job opportunities after getting your degree. i’d suggest before switching your major into cyber security, do research first so you become aware of what you’re getting to. i know i took lots of security & comp forensic classes + basically comp science too and after a while it gets pretty easy 💗 takes a lot of dedication within your first few months though. ( it’s still hard but it gets manageable ! )

Different anon,

But I've been thinking of looking into either cyber security or a traveling physical therapist job. How much schooling or training do you have to do for the cyber security?

It depends! I already had an associates and a bachelors degree so I had a lot of credits transfer over. I’m in a self paced program so it could take me 6 months to a year to finish the courses I have left. It’s just some of the certs take serious studying.

Because I'm obsessed, I thought about what would happen if a BG3 and The Bonneville Game crossover ever happened. I know what my Bonneville characters would be doing in BG3, but what would the companions be doing in The Bonneville Game?

The Bonneville Game takes place in the fictional small, isolated town of Bonneville, Pennsylvania. It's a horror comedy about three hapless podcasters who play a demon summoning game they found on the Internet. Afterward, all hell breaks loose.

Bonneville is important because it's where the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest.

Wyllyam "Wyll" Ravengard He's originally from Salisbury, England. He's fresh out of school and ready to see the world. He got his degree in International Relations from Durham University. His father is Mayor Ulder Ravengard of London and Ulder wants his son to follow in his footsteps. Wyll is a lot less confident in what his future should be.

Wyll arrives in Bonneville as part of his traveling the world. He just wants to figure out his life for himself. He ends up getting a job as a 911 dispatcher, which is how he finds out there's something rotten in the state of Pennsylvania. Over time, he'd eventually find himself working as a Nonprofit Program Coordinator for something like Human Rights Watch. Odds are, even if he settles down in Bonneville, he'd continue to travel in hopes of saving the world.

Due to his heroic nature, he decides to stay to help when he discovers demons are running wild. If he were in the Bonneville world, Minty would 100% fall in love with him. Do you know how ridiculously cute this ship would be?

Gale Dekarios He's originally from London, England and he's well educated. He'd end up teaching at the Community College of Bonneville as a favor to an old friend, but he'd fall in love with the town. He'd want the students to have a good education, especially since he'd see a lot of bright kids trapped in poverty. He'd be an Associate Professor in the English department and an accomplished author in his own right.

He'd have a lot of papers and articles published. He'd have a book or two under his name. He studied at Cambridge and, in the past, he taught at Oxford and Glasgow University. After he meets Minty, Laura, and Ingrid, he becomes a valuable researcher to the team. Any time they don't know the history or lore of something, he's there to assist.

He did have an affair with a professor when he was a university student. (This is in lieu of him having a goddess as a lover.) It did mess him up for a while. If he existed in this universe, I'd bring in Tessa as his wife. He'd already be married by the time he's introduced to the story. He married an American which is why he was in the States to begin with.

Karlach Cliffgate She'd be connected to Bex's past, but I can't say how just yet. She'd come to Bonneville when Bex helps get her a job. She's from Chilham, Kent, a small village, which is about 18 minutes from Canterbury. She was an only child to Phillip "Pluck" and Caerlack Cliffgate, who have passed. She'd be down to help out the leads when shit hits the fan.

She'd eventually go back to school to get an Associate Degree in Cyber Security with Gale's help. He's the one that helps her get her paperwork in order and guides her in her coursework.

In this universe, instead of a mechanical heart, she has PoTS (Postural tachycardia syndrome). Karlach becomes a huge fan of both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Philadelphia Flyers. She also loves the England woman's national football team, the Lionesses, and the England women's national rugby union team, the Red Roses.

Lae'zel Klier Lae'zel grew up in Southport, England, but her parents are German immigrants. Lae'zel is an only child and her parents have high expectations for her. It's difficult for her to live up to them and she constantly pushes herself past her limits. She also was never taught how to properly process emotions. I would definitely love a universe where she and Laura fall in love. (It'd be either Lae'zel and Laura or Karlach and Laura.)

Due to pressure from her parents, she joined the Royal Air Force and she would eventually be stationed at the Edwards Air Force Base in Lancaster, California. She was a RAF Regiment Officer and she very much believed in everything she was doing.

She planned on staying for her entire career in the RAF, but things would change after coming to Bonneville. She'd be invited while on leave by a fellow officer and end up in the thick of things. (Meaning, a demon was released in the town by the time she got there.) She'd come back after her service ended to stay and figure out a new life there. She'd also have her beliefs challenged and realize she doesn't want the future her parents picked for her. It may seem out of left field, but she'd eventually open her own plant nursery, Crèche Klier.

I didn't know how to approach a surname for her, so I found a name that was kind of like K'lirr. I'm very proud of that ridiculous plant nursery name.

Shadowheart Sharman (Real Name: Jenevelle Hallowleaf) Shadowheart grew up in London. What she doesn't know is that she was kidnapped from her home and raised by her kidnappers. This girl is Lifetime movie material.

When she was 15, her "parents" moved the family to Bonneville to avoid detection. They were nervous Shadowheart's real parents would find them if they stayed in the UK. They felt safer in Bonneville because it's a small, relatively unknown town.

You'd think kidnappers trying to keep a low profile would name her anything but Shadowheart and yet.... She was teased for it growing up, but she's become fond of it over time. Her "parents" were incredibly abusive to her, but they would do it in the name of religion.

Her world is turned upside down when she discovers her "parents" actually kidnapped her. She deconstructs everything she's ever learned over time and she also comes out as bi. She would eventually become a veterinary technician and settle down with a partner. (If your Tav would be a perfect fit for her in this world, I'd love to know!)

Her kidnappers' surname is a play on Shar's name.

Astarion Ancunín He's originally from a well-to-do family in London. He was sheltered growing up and by 17, he planned to attend law school. He wanted to focus on practicing criminal law. He was in his first year of university when he met an older man named Cazador. Astarion would become entangled in an abusive relationship with him. His parents would try to pull him out of it, but it only seemed to push Astarion closer to Cazador.

Astarion dropped out of school and cut off contact from his family and friends. He was abused for years by Cazador and felt helpless to do anything about it. Cazador has some secrets he holds over Astarion's head to "keep him in line."

Cazador would be the reason they come to Bonneville. He would hope he could take advantage of the fact the veil between the living and dead is at its thinnest in Bonneville. This would lead to Astarion finally finding himself and breaking free of Cazador's control. They would still have to kill Cazador, especially since he'd become a big bad.

Once he was on his own, Astarion would get back into law as a legal receptionist before studying to be a paralegal. He's not totally confident he wants to be a lawyer anymore, but he may get back into it one day. He just wants to focus on getting better first.

Bex would fall for this guy.

Halsin Silverbough He's from Shaftesbury, UK. He's a Pediatrician in this universe and very happy with his job. Bonneville has always had just one pediatrician in town. When the previous one was about to retire, he reached out to Halsin to take his place. Halsin agreed to be a temporary stand-in until they found someone else. I think we all know how the whole "temporary" thing went. Halsin now lives in Bonneville permanently.

Everyone knows and loves him. He still whittles and reads in his off-time. He's known for his love of honey and ducks. He's also the guy everyone approaches if they need an extra set of hands on a project or help on the farm. He's down to earth and well-adjusted.

He refuses to drive. He bikes or takes public transport everywhere. No one knows how he does it. He lives right next door to his office which helps immensely. Naturally, he'd want to help our heroes once he finds out a demon has been released in Bonneville. He might even feel responsible for one of the local legends terrorizing the town later on down the line.

Romance wise, I was torn between Ingrid or having be poly with Bex and Astarion. Or maybe it's a poly situation with all four of them.

Jaheira Harper Jaheira is from Warsaw, Poland. She's a widow and her late husband was Khalid Harper. She's traveled all over the world as a foreign aid worker. She only comes to Bonneville when her adopted daughter, Rion, moves there with her partner. When Jaheira finds out something sinister is happening in Bonneville, she can't bring herself to leave. At least, not until everything is dealt with.

Minsc Kamenev and Boo He's originally from Sviyazhsk, Russia. He once competed in the Olympics for archery and he now is an archery instructor in Bonneville. No one knows how he got to Bonneville or why he even came, but everyone loves him. He also has a little pet hamster named Boo who seems to be unusually smart for a rodent. Boo may even have some kind of tie to the veil.

If my research is correct, his surname alludes to "stone." I picked it as a nod to the fact Minsc is known as "the Stone Lord."

Minthara Baenre Minthara is a Major in the British Armed Forces and hails from Manchester, England. She grew up in a wealthy military family. They were dysfunctional as Hell. Minthara dislikes her parents and her siblings. She visits home every holiday season, but only to terrorize her family. She'd be trying to figure out what is going on in Bonneville and how to use it to her advantage.

Enver Gortash I don't have much for him yet. (I also have to be mindful of spoilers, too.) He'd arrive in Bonneville after hearing about the veil. I do like the idea of him being a low level politician from Liverpool who is slowly climbing up the ranks. He hopes Bonneville will be the key to getting the power he craves.

Tessa Chastain Dekarios I'd bring over my Tav, Tessa as Gale's wife. She might get an original story of her own someday, but right now she only exists as a BG3 Tav. She'd be an author with a troubled past. Her father is a known criminal and Tessa was a troubled teen. She turned things around in her 20s and would go on to publish a book at 25.

Gale would be a fan of her work. They would meet at a book signing and the rest would be history. He wouldn't go in with the intent to "woo" her. In fact, Tessa would make the first move. Things would just fall into place for them. Tessa would be an American who hails from Philadelphia.

[mariacallous]

Last month, Israel used its Arrow 3 long-range air defense system for the first time. When the Yemen-based Houthis fired rockets toward southern Israel in the name of religious camaraderie with Hamas and Iran, Israelis were prepared, having started to develop their state-of-the-art defense system back in the 1980s. Meanwhile, Iron Dome, which was also developed by an Israeli company, has been protecting Israelis from short-range rockets fired with increased frequency from Lebanon and Gaza. Reports say Israel has also accelerated the development of Iron Beam, another revolutionary air defense system that would use laser technology to bring down incoming drones and rockets.

It is no secret that billions of dollars in annual military aid from the United States has helped Israel build its military. But the war against Hamas has demonstrated that the foundation of Israel’s military might be the unparalleled collaboration between its military and its technology companies. In Israel, the tech economy has assumed responsibility for keeping Israelis safe and the nation standing.

Technology and national security have been tightly bound in Israel since its founding in 1948. “We lost 10 percent of our population” in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War against the joint forces of Syria, Egypt, and Jordan, said Isaac Ben-Israel, a former head of weapons development at the Israeli Defense Ministry. That led the country’s founding fathers to conclude that Israel didn’t have the numbers to beat an Arab army or a united force from Islamic nations and needed a qualitative advantage. “That meant investing in human capital, in science and technology, primarily for our defense.”

From the very beginning, he said, steps were taken to teach science and technology and have a sufficient number of people with a scientific bent of mind, primarily to defend the country. For instance, under a program called Academic Reserve, the compulsory military service of 1 percent of the total number of high school students was delayed. They were first encouraged to pursue academic degrees. Ben-Israel was among those chosen to pursue his academic interests—an investment that clearly paid off, since he later became chairman of the Israel Space Agency.

“Twelve years ago, the prime minister asked me for solutions to cybersecurity,” Ben-Israel told Foreign Policy from Tel Aviv. “I proposed, and it was made a government regulation, to make cybersecurity a subject in schools. Now, high school students in Israel learn about cybersecurity.”´

Ben-Israel shared how his country, despite its size, has the second-highest number of tech start-ups. “The U.S. has 40 percent of the world’s start-up companies … while Israel is home to 20 percent of the world’s start-ups,” many of which are deeply linked to the needs of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). “In cyber start-ups, we are No. 1,” he said, adding that Israel was home to 35 percent of the world’s tech unicorns, or companies worth more than a billion dollars.

The Israeli tech ecosystem is the second-largest behind Silicon Valley and accounts for 14 percent of total jobs and a fifth of the country’s GDP. Ben-Israel said 96 percent of start-ups fail—yet each one with any merit gets up to $300,000 as seed money from the government. “It’s not a loan,” he said, “which means if you fail, you don’t have to give it back to the government.”

Fewer bureaucratic hurdles; a common cause (i.e., security of the country over profit); a more hands-on approach by the IDF to test the technology; and perhaps above all a common culture, since techies today have been in the armed forces and done mandatory military service, are behind Israel’s success in the field.

“Tens of thousands of demobbed soldiers exit the Israeli military each year with the kind of skills that transfer to the high-tech environment, providing a highly skilled and motivated workforce,” Jon Medved, a venture capitalist dubbed “the startup nation’s guru,” told Foreign Policy via email.

“There’s a sort of ping-pong between a tech company and the IDF,” said Itamar Yaar, a former deputy head of Israel’s National Security Council. “Long before there’s a marketable product, the tech companies offer it to the IDF, the police, or the intelligence agencies, and they try it out, sometimes in ongoing operations, to test and to improve it. If it is good, then it is procured fairly quickly.”

A confluence of interests paves the way for a unique collaboration that saves both time and money. It saves the tech companies from going through what is labeled in California as the “valley of death”—or the long wait between the development of a product and its procurement.

In the United States, for instance, profit is the main motive, and there is deep mistrust of how law enforcement agencies might use the technology—a very different ethos than exists in Israel. Employees of leading companies have protested that government departments may use their labor and skills to target immigrants. Moreover, strict regulations and a cumbersome bureaucracy hinder collaboration.

In Israel, “informal connections” between the industry and the Defense Ministry “are much closer,” compared with anywhere else in the world. “The circle is smaller and progresses quicker,” Yaar added.

In a 2015 research paper, sociologists Ori Swed and John Sibley Butler highlighted the role of the military as a socialization institution. Since most tech companies are led by senior IDF or intelligence officers and are staffed with men and women who were soldiers themselves, “the conversation back and forth is very organic,” Swed, now at Texas Tech University, told Foreign Policy.

In the United States, the ecosystem is vastly different, and profit is the main motive, he added. But in Israel, interests are common when the tech being produced is meant to support the soldiers—children or family members or friends of the owners of the companies.

Shmuel Bar, a former Israel intelligence official, runs IntuView, one such company. Bar’s firm has relocated to the Gaza front line and uses artificial intelligence to go through troves of texts online, and documents procured by the IDF in physical searches, to decipher the meaning of communication between or about Hamas operatives and their activities. It is not a translation but an interpretation service that mines the meaning of texts often hidden in cultural metaphors and religious sayings. It is looking for clues on where Hamas could have hidden hostages or the whereabouts of Hamas’s leadership, among other crucial intelligence, and providing whatever it learns in real time—although the accuracy rate is currently at 70 percent.

“It will be months before we finish the R&D. In the meanwhile, hundreds of soldiers would have died because the IDF didn’t receive the intel it needed,” Bar said. “We are minimizing the losses even though the system isn’t yet perfect.”

A team of Israeli tech workers got together soon after the Oct. 7 attacks and used facial recognition software to search for the missing and for where and when the hostages were last seen.

Israel has also been at the forefront of AI used in war—although the technology has also been blamed by some for contributing to the rising death toll in the Gaza Strip. In 2021, Israel used Hasbora (“The Gospel”), an AI program to identify targets, in Gaza for the first time. But there is a growing sense that the country is now using AI technology to excuse the killing of a large number of noncombatants while in pursuit of even low-ranking Hamas operatives. There are concerns that the IDF is hiding behind the technology to deliberately avenge those who were killed on Oct. 7 or has been genuinely blinded by the technology to its devastating effects on civilians.

Meanwhile, whatever its achievements, Israel is now relying on its tech sector for a more prosaic military advantages. The people building defense tech in peace time have doubled up as soldiers in war and comprise a large chunk of the 300,000 reservists mobilized for the current conflict.

[eggman-enterprises]

Eggman Enterprises

Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik

Dr. Eggman is, in his own words, the greatest scientific genius in the world, though that has come into question in recent years-- after all, with all the aliens the world has come to know, perhaps it's more accurate to say he's the greatest genius in the universe! But, like any good scientist, he uses his mind for good. What's more virtuous a goal than a perfect, worldwide theme park wherein everything is under his own control? No lines, no hunger, no fear, no individual thought-- it would be a paradise! (Also available in Classic flavor!)

Metal Sonic

Metal Sonic is Dr. Eggman's right-hand 'bot, and the stoic enforcer of the Eggman Empire. Don't let his silence fool you, however, because underneath his metal shell is an introspective and determined robot, who constantly strives to improve himself. Sometimes that drive gets him in trouble with his creator-- there was that one time he tried to rule the world on his own-- but any rebellious intentions have long since been scrubbed from his programming, and now he is a perfect, cold, calculating, nigh-unstoppable menace to all he encounters. (Also available in Classic flavor!)

Sage

Sage is among the bad doctor's greatest creations, and is his dearest (and only) daughter. Though she was originally programmed as a mere invasive AI, she has developed into a very personable young girl. Dedicated to the protection of her father and the propogation of the Eggman Empire, she has been integrated into the EggNet, and commands the digital side of Eggman's evil escapades. This doesn't mean she's nonpresent, however, as she can project a hard-light hologram in the physical world nearly anywhere that has a connection point to the EggNet.

Orbot & Cubot

The mechanical Abbot and Costello of the Eggman Empire, these two serve as Dr. Eggman's bumbling personal assistants. Orbot tends to play straightman to Cubot's bumbling fool, but let it be known, neither are particularly competent. Not that they seek to impress in that regard anyway-- unless Metal or Sage are involved. They desperately wish to make good impressions on their "siblings", which tends to get them into even more trouble than when they don't try at all.

Thunderbolt the Chinchilla

Thunderbolt is the bad doctor's most dedicated general. Whether he likes it or not. Loyal to an obsessive degree, she will do anything to please the Eggman, no matter how heinous, vile, or inconvenient it is. Despite her appearance, she's no force to be underestimated. With electrical powers rivalling Surge and a mean streak to match, she can be deadly when caught in the wrong mood. Add onto that her custom battle armor, and she becomes someone that anyone would rather avoid than face head-on.

Axel the Water Buffalo

Boasting incredible strength and loyalty to his crew, even before being conscripted and cyberized by the Eggman, Axel is a great leader in his own right. For years he ran a gang in the Efrikan plains, with one major motto: You take care of the crew, and the crew takes care of you. His joining with the Eggman Empire was influenced by that creed. It was either that or watch their homeland be ravaged by industrialization. He still rides with his crew, with the goal of securing the Eggman Empire's grip over the region.

Clove the Pronghorn

Clove's partnership with the Eggman was not one born out of desire. When her sister, Cassia, contracted a rare and deadly disease known as N.I.D.S., Clove felt she had no other choice but to join the doctor's empire, in hopes he could develop a cure for her. With her serious demeanor and combat prowess, she rose through the ranks quickly, until she became the Egg Boss presiding over the region of Northamer, with her younger sister at her side the whole way through.

Cassia the Pronghorn

Much more playful than her older sister, the only real reason she ranks so high in the army is nepotism. Not that she minds. She loves having a whole army to boss around. Though she doesn't really grasp the gravity of her situation as well as her sister, she's more than capable of taking care of herself when needbe. Despite her naivete and youthful demeanor, however, she's fully aware of the seriousness of her illness, despite Clove's best efforts, and while it would inaccurate to call her demeanor a farce, much of it is a performance to make sure her sister doesn't lose faith.

Team Hooligans

Fang the Hunter

The brains behind Team Hooligans, Fang is cutthroat bounty hunter living in the Mirage Saloon Zone, not that he ever stays in one place for long. His jobs tend to take him all over the world, especially when he does work for the diabolical Dr. Eggman. Indeed, Fang will take most any job if it pays high enough. The man'd even sell out his own mother for a pretty ring.

Bark the Polar Bear

Bark is the brawn and the heart of Team Hooligans. He is a calming presence around his two fellow criminals, and though he is one of the most wanted men in the world thanks to his association with Bean, those who get to know him tend to feel he isn't that bad a guy, he's just fallen in with a bad crowd. Whether they're the right crowd for him or not, however, he is fiercely loyal to his team, and will fight to the last to keep them safe.

Bean the Dynamite

Some say he's a duck, others say he's a woodpecker. What does the man himself say? He's Bean! Beanaldo Remington Beaksworth IV, to be exact! Yes, Bean isn't a particularly stable person. In fact, some would go so far as to call him insane. Which makes him very dangerous when he uses his trademark bombs. It's unknown exactly how he creates those high explosives as if from nothing, but then, much of Bean's existence defies explanation. All anyone knows is that he's the Hooligans' wildcard, and he's better left avoided at all cost.

Battle Kukku Empire

Great Battle Kukku XV

Don't let the name of his army, or his swaggering steps fool you-- the Great Battle Kukku is more of a pirate captain than an imperial ruler. His crew? The Grand Battle Kukku Armada. He is the self-proclaimed ruler of the skies, and will raid any town, facility, or ruins to sustain that rule. He also has the ability to create bombs at his leisure, much like a certain Dynamite Duck...

Battle Kukku XVI / "Speedy"

Speedy is the second in command of the Battle Kukku Empire, and the son of the Great Battle Kukku. He prides himself on his fast flying, boosted even further when he wears a special flight suit developed by Kukku chief science officer Dr. Fukurokov. He believes the skies belong only to the birds-- even bats and bugs are lesser in his eyes. But the one being he truly hates is one Miles "Tails" Prower-- no wingless mammal is welcome in Speedy's skies!

Dr. Fukurokov

Dr. Fukurokov is the greatest mind the clouds have ever seen. It's arguable whether he rivals Dr. Eggman in intelligence, but he frankly doesn't give a hoot if he does or not. Eggman may have more powerful tech, but none can match the developmental potential of Fukurokov's machines! Ultimately, Dr. Fukurokov is a curious and inquisitive creature by nature. He is always ready to study, and always willing to adapt. Just...make sure you don't pronounce his name wrong.

Other

Surge the Tenrec

Suffering from psychosis, amnesia, various traumas, and a bad case of the old identity crisis, Surge is a cyborg created by the vile Dr. Starline to not just kill, but replace Sonic the Hedgehog. Ever since the dear doctor's death at the hands of Dr. Eggman and a particularly vengeful boulder, Surge and her companion have struck out on their own. Driven mad by hypnosis and months of psychological abuse, her only goal now is to burn the entire world down, sift through the ashes for the bodies of the ones she loathes the most, and hang them up on the wall as trophies for her grandest accomplishment.

Kitsunami the Fennec

Kit is the Tails to Surge's Sonic. To that end, he is endlessly devoted to her, even at the cost of his own personal safety and wellness. He will do anything she says with a polite "yes ma'am!", and without her has a tendency to shut down and shut the world out. Don't let his appearance and demeanor fool you, though. He is a living weapon just like his partner, and his control over ice and water makes him a very dangerous foe on the rare occasions he lets loose. He is prone to outbursts of hellish fury when he believes Surge to be hurt or worse, and would tear down the world itself to protect her.

Mr. Tinker

An alternate version of everyone's least favorite doctor, Mr. Tinker is everything Dr. Eggman is not. Kind, caring, humble, and beloved by his community. Though a mad scientist by the name of Dr. Starline tried to revert him to his old, evil self, somehow Tinker managed to survive the torture and conditioning and was rescued by Sonic and friends. Now, he seeks only a humble life helping to fix the gizmos and gadgets of those around him, with no sign of the Eggman ever returning. He has been having these awful nightmares of late, though...
