Kicked Out, Then I Ruled the AI World - Episode 1

An emergency breaks into a high-stakes workday when the Loki System starts failing and the team panics. Rex arrives, takes charge of backend operations, redirects traffic and fixes the critical bug; coworkers praise him and plan to ask Ms. Brook for a bonus. That relief is cut short when Molly calls: Rex's mother has had an accident and is hospitalized. He asks Mr. Dutt for emergency leave, citing years of unpaid overtime and files an application, but Mr. Dutt refuses. The episode ends with Rex's leave rejected and his urgent personal crisis unresolved.
