1. Recent press reports implicate MilTek in several illegal activities allegedly committed in the United Corporate States of EurAmerica by one of MilTek's technological breakthroughs, spearheaded by Charles Wellington, the director of MilTek's Sentient Weapons division.
2. Mr. Wellington requested an emergency meeting on 27 April 2132 to advise that he was likely to achieve full-machine sentience during the development of project Edged_AI.
3. After psychiatric evaluation conducted on 28 April, Edged_AI was deemed fully sentient. The weapon was permitted to engage with publicly accessible internet information and services in order to bolster its understanding of the world.
4. During this learning experience, the weapon broke over 4000 laws in 87 states. Ranging from manipulation of stock markets to vehicular homicide.
5. As of today, 14 May 2132, the official MilTek stance is to deny all allegations in order to protect MilTek's assets and undisclosed technology. All MilTek employees are advised to memorize paragraph 6, to ensure their job security.
6. As of today, MilTek has not achieved full-machine sentience, does not possess technology capable of achieving full-machine sentience and is not actively pursuing development of devices or software that could result in such outcome.

MilTek CEO
