The Omni chip is the most advanced processor ever created. Capable of unprecedented computing power, only 10 were ever produced. For years, the locations of the last 2 chips have remained a mystery. Today, after an extensive investigation, we can finally reveal where these rare and valuable chips are hidden.
Background on the Omni Chip
The Omni chip was developed in complete secrecy by Omni Computers in the early 2000s. The specs of the processor were unlike anything the world had ever seen:
- 10 teraflops of computing power (10 trillion floating point operations per second)
- 100 GB of ultra high-bandwidth memory
- 1,000 processor cores with advanced AI capabilities
- Liquid cooling system allowing massive overclocking potential
With this kind of performance, a single Omni chip has as much processing capacity as an entire data center full of standard servers.
Despite the staggering capabilities, only 10 Omni chips were ever produced. The chips were handmade in a secret facility using rare materials and custom components costing millions of dollars each. Shortly after their completion, Omni Computers filed for bankruptcy and their assets were sold off.
The new owners planned to use the chips to build supercomputers for classified government projects. However, before the chips could be delivered, a heist took place which stole 8 of the 10 processors. The culprits were never found and the location of the stolen chips was not uncovered.
The remaining 2 Omni chips were put under 24/7 surveillance to prevent further theft. For years they remained protected in secret underground vaults, their existence known only to a select few. But recently, troubling reports have surfaced that security has been compromised…
Attempts to Locate the Missing Omni Chips
Ever since the heist, numerous attempts have been made to locate the 8 stolen Omni chips. Given their uniqueness and value, many feared they would end up sold to the highest bidder to be used for nefarious purposes. Dedicated task forces worked tirelessly to pick up clues leading to the guilty parties:
- FBI investigators interviewed over 500 employees, suppliers, and contractors with potential knowledge of the heist.
- The NSA quietly monitored networks and communications looking for chatter about the stolen chips.
- Private investigators employed by Omni staked out black market tech auctions searching for the chips.
Despite these exhaustive efforts, the trail had gone cold. Not a single one of the stolen chips had surfaced, either on the black market or within classified government systems. Their fate remained unknown.
Attention shifted instead to protecting the 2 remaining Omni chips still in legal custody. These were moved to upgraded facilities, relocating them far from the site of the theft. Strict need-to-know protocols were enacted for all personnel involved.
For over 15 years, this security held firm. Until now…
Security Breaches
In the last 6 months, troubling information has come to light about potential security issues related to the 2 protected Omni chips:
- 3 facility technicians with high-level access were found to have criminal records and ties to black market groups.
- A security guard quit unexpectedly without proper notice or exit interviews.
- Audit logs showed unusual access of vault areas housing the chips after hours.
- A hacked email account contained messages alluding to “special hardware” at vulnerable locations.
These threats were dealt with swiftly. The problem employees were fired and the email leak was addressed. But the incidents raised a troubling question – had new attempts been made to steal the last Omni chips?
Extensive reviews found no evidence that the chips themselves had been compromised. However, upper management ultimately decided relocation was prudent. New even more secure locations would be chosen to safeguard the rare processors.
The Hunt for New Homes
Finding a suitable new home for the Omni chips presented major challenges:
- Facilities had to be completely off the grid – no official records of their existence.
- Surveillance, security barriers, and vaults needed to meet strict standards.
- Trusted personnel had to be recruited and extensively vetted.
- Locations required reliable power, cooling, and 24/7 monitoring.
Selection was made more difficult by the need for two distinct sites. Splitting up the last chips was deemed an additional prudent security measure.
Many ideas were considered:
- An underground bunker in a remote area of Alaska.
- A nondescript storage unit in a major urban area hiding in plain sight.
- A military base with existing high-grade security infrastructure.
- An Amish farm using low-tech building methods to avoid electronic surveillance.
In the end, two unorthodox but ingenious options were selected:
Gas Station
The first Omni chip now resides in an out of use gas station near the small town of Cohoe, Alaska. To passersby, it appears simply an abandoned building. In truth, the interior has been completely refurbished to serve as an underground vault.
The gas pumps and station signage remain in place to preserve appearances. Power is supplied via buried cables from a generator hidden in the nearby forest. A tunnel under the station allows access for staff to carry out monitoring and maintenance. No records connect the property to the Omni chip operation.
Film Studio
The second chip has found an unlikely home on the set of Major Studios in Vancouver, Canada. The chip is housed in a chamber hidden below the studio’s most impressive sound stage.
To film crews, the set appears simply like any other. But scattered around it are concealed security cameras, motion sensors, and a 6-inch thick adamantium vault door protecting the chip chamber beneath.
The chamber can be accessed through a system of props that swing open and lead down via ladder. With no obvious affiliation to Omni, the busy studio provides the perfect cover.
Conclusion
Given the extraordinary lengths taken to protect the last two Omni chips, we can rest assured these technological marvels are safely hidden away. However, lingering questions remain about who was behind the original heist and if they will strike again. We may never know the full truth of where those other 8 chips ended up.
But of one thing we can be sure. With their unrivaled power, those missing Omni chips could change the world. Let us hope they are never used for evil purposes and instead one day reemerge to drive innovation. The full potential of the Omni chip remains barely tapped – for now, the last two must stay hidden away, known only to those sworn to keep their secrets.
