War Against A.L.I.E.

The War Against A.L.I.E. is an armed conflict between A.L.I.E. and resistance against her. The seeds of the war were laid almost a century before the events seen on the show: when A.L.I.E. launched the world's nuclear missiles, causing the apocalypse.

Before the Series
A.L.I.E. is artificial intelligence (AI) created by Becca "to make life better". A.L.I.E. decided "the root problem" was "too many people", so in 2052, she launched nuclear missiles killing most of Earth's population and causing the Nuclear Apocalypse.

In the 97 years between the Nuclear Apocalypse and the start of The 100 series, A.L.I.E. continued to function in the mansion that was owned by Becca's company. At some point, she created the City of Light and Keys to get people there. However, A.L.I.E. lacked a power source to leave the mansion to continue her goals. Using drones and chipped followers, she bought tech found by Nomadic Grounders in the Dead Zone.

Before Arrival to Arkadia

 * Jaha comes to Earth using a nuclear missile, providing A.L.I.E. with a power source. This allows her to create a portable backpack, allowing her and the City of Light to leave the mansion.
 * Jaha arrives at A.L.I.E.'s mansion and takes the Key. Murphy refuses to take the Key.
 * Jaha, Murphy, and Gideon leave on a boat with Emori and Otan. Emori kills Gideon, but Jaha convinces Otan to take the Key.

A.L.I.E.'s followers:
 * Gideon (killed in Wanheda (Part 2))
 * Thelonious Jaha
 * Otan (takes Key in Wanheda (Part 2))

Resistance:
 * John Murphy
 * Emori

At Arkadia

 * Jaha and Otan arrive in Arkadia. Otan is killed by Gillmer. Arkadia is in the midst of an internal struggle, distracting leadership from Jaha. Abby is unsure of Jaha's ideas but Pike permits him to distribute the Keys.
 * Jaha convinces a few Arkadians to take the Key. Raven argues that he is full of lies, but in a moment of weakness takes the Key.
 * A.L.I.E. attempts to find the version two of her code in Arkadia's mainframe, but it isn't there.
 * Abby confiscates the City of Light chips from Jaha when it becomes clear he has no recollection of his son. Pike confiscates the chip maker.
 * Raven convinces Jasper to help her get the chip maker. Jasper mentions Finn and Raven realizes she completely forgot about him. Just as they find the chip maker, Raven rebels from A.L.I.E.
 * Raven tries to free herself from A.L.I.E. Just as she finds a plan, A.L.I.E. gives back her pain. Abby and Jasper attempt to help her but A.L.I.E.'s followers prevent them. Raven agrees to completely and permanently submit to A.L.I.E. to stop the pain. Jackson knocks Abby out with a drug.
 * Abby awakes tied to the chair. Jaha, Jackson, and Raven, all controlled by A.L.I.E., try to convince her to take the Key. When Abby refuses, A.L.I.E. has Raven slit her own wrists. Abby begs her to stop and for others to help her, but they refuse until Abby takes the Key. Once she takes the Key, they release her to help Raven.
 * With Pike absent from Arkadia, Abby gets the chip maker and starts passing Keys to everyone.
 * Jasper escapes Arkadia with an unconscious Raven.

A.L.I.E.'s followers:
 * Thelonious Jaha
 * Otan (killed in Hakeldama)
 * Raven Reyes (takes key in Hakeldama, starts resisting in Terms and Conditions, submits to A.L.I.E. in Fallen)
 * Jackson (joins in Hakeldama or Bitter Harvest)
 * Abigail Griffin (joins in Fallen)
 * Several other Arkadians

Resistance: starts resisting in Terms and Conditions, but submits to A.L.I.E. in Fallen)
 * Abigail Griffin (until coerced to join in Fallen)
 * Raven Reyes (initially resists Jaha in Hakeldama, then takes key at end of Hakeldama,
 * Charles Pike (agrees with Abby confiscating the chip maker in Bitter Harvest)

Quotes
"Fallen"


 * A.L.I.E.: All you have to do is submit.
 * Raven: No! No! Aah! I submit.
 * A.L.I.E.: Completely, Raven, permanently.
 * Raven: Aah! Aah! No! Yes! I submit! Please... oh, please...


 * Raven/A.L.I.E.: I have full access to Raven's synaptic network. She's ours.


 * Abby: I took one myself. Everything that Thelonious said is true.


 * Abby: Now that Arkadia has fallen, we'll move on to Stage Two.

"Nevermore"


 * Raven/A.L.I.E.: I'll let her go when you give me what I want. The technology that Clarke carries - It belongs to me.


 * Clarke: Why did A.L.I.E. want you to kill yourself?
 * Raven: Because I know why she wants the second A.I.
 * Bellamy: Why?
 * Raven: It's the only thing that can stop her.
 * Octavia: Then let's stop her.


 * Jaha: We'll get Raven back, we'll get them all.
 * A.L.I.E.: It's bigger than that. With Raven's abilities, she'll be able to understand what she learned here. They'll know the second A.I. can stop me. We'll have to kill them all.

"Demons"


 * Clarke: Luna has it. That's why we have to find her. If she can access A.L.I.E. 2 –
 * Octavia: She can tell us how to stop A.L.I.E. 1.


 * Jaha (to Ontari): You're ruling without the wisdom of the Commander's spirit. Your people will soon figure that out. I can offer you something even more powerful than the Flame – true legacy of Bekka Pramheda, all power, all wisdom contained in one simple key. All you have to do is swallow it.

"Join or Die"


 * A.L.I.E.: We are still experiencing a 3% rejection rate.


 * A.L.I.E.: If Ontari is right and Clarke finds another Nightblood, she'll be able to activate the other AI. We can't let that happen.


 * A.L.I.E.: He knows.
 * Abby: Marcus.
 * Kane: You've taken the chip.
 * Abby: Put him on the cross.


 * Murphy: Jaha has an army of chipped soldiers. They don't feel any pain. That means they're not gonna stop until all of us either join them or die.

"Red Sky at Morning"


 * Emori: That's a nuclear fuel cell, John. You'll irradiate the entire city.


 * A.L.I.E.: Someone is accessing my code with an administrative login.
 * Jaha: Accessing it? From where?
 * A.L.I.E.: The intrusion is coming from Arkadia.
 * Jaha: Arkadia? It could be Jacapo Sinclair or Monty Green.
 * A.L.I.E.: Jacapo Sinclair is dead.
 * Jaha: How do you know that?
 * A.L.I.E.: Unimportant. The login was coded by my creator. I can't log them out.
 * Jaha: Disconnect from Arkadia.
 * A.L.I.E.: That would be unwise. The migration is still incomplete and the backpack is now compromised. Without Arkadia's mainframe, the mobile unit would be my sole power source. If they destroy it... I will be terminated. They're inside the Citadel.


 * A.L.I.E. (from the Ark): The migration was a success. The transmission from the escape pod is complete. They can't get to us here.

"Perverse Instantiation (Part 1)"


 * Clarke: We need to find a Nightblood. We need to unlock the Flame. It's the only way to stop A.L.I.E.


 * Clarke: It controls people, and it will take over the Ice Nation just like it took us over, one person at a time until there is no one left. It already has Ontari.
 * Roan: I'm listening.
 * Clarke: We need to disconnect her before she gets the Flame, or we'll be giving A.L.I.E. exactly what she wants.


 * Monty: Raven said she needs the processing power to open a portal into A.L.I.E.
 * Jasper: Portal?
 * Monty: That's what she calls it. She wants to use one of A.L.I.E.'s own chips to hack back in. All we have to do is enter the kill code we get from the Flame once we put it in Ontari. It's game over.


 * Raven: If Jasper's been chipped, then A.L.I.E. knows everything.


 * Bellamy: They took her and the Flame to the tower. It's a safe bet Ontari's there, too. Everything we need to stop A.L.I.E. is in the same place.
 * Octavia: If we go up that tower, we won't be able to fight our way out again.
 * Bellamy: If we stop A.L.I.E., we won't have to.

"Perverse Instantiation (Part 2)"


 * Jasper/A.L.I.E.: Raven, your chances of reaching the kill switch again are less than 2%. I've added additional security. I know the digital signature of the chip that Hannah gave to Monty. The moment you use the portal to interact with anything within my code, I will know. I will find you. Are you really willing to let your friend die for a 2%?


 * Clarke: Jasper, what are you doing here?
 * Jasper: Trying to stop you. You've seen the City of Light now. It's perfect. There's peace, happiness, safety. Why would you want to deny that to anyone?
 * Clarke: She's torturing people to get them here, Jasper, taking their memories, controlling them. This isn't even you. This is A.L.I.E.
 * Jasper: She's doing what has to be done.
 * Clarke: She took away our choice. Human beings have free will. We get to decide how we should live.
 * Jasper: Human beings are the only species that act against their own self-interest. We torture each other. We fight, hurt each other, break each other's hearts. None of that exists here. A.L.I.E. is protecting us from ourselves.


 * A.L.I.E.: Would you really condemn the human race to die in 6 months?
 * Clarke: We'll figure something out. We always do.
 * Becca: Yes, Clarke. There's still hope.
 * A.L.I.E.: According to my calculations, there is not.
 * Becca: 10 seconds.
 * A.L.I.E.: Let me ease their pain, Clarke. We can save the human race together.
 * Clarke: You don't ease pain. You overcome it... and we will.
