Chapter 2: searching for clues

Gotham Bay: Barry Allen stared at the docks as the docks had been closed off for years since a grisly murder had taken place years ago. With him was Michael Knight, Trinity Jean Knight, Terry McGinnis, KITT & KARR. Mike stared at the 25-year-old. The two had met in 2009 before he had started working with the KARR project.

"So, Barry, now what?" Mike asked as he had made formal introductions. Barry scratched his head. He worked his day job as a Police Crime Scene Investigator for the Central City Police Department but due to an accident caused by a particle Accelerator malfunction he had gained the ability to move at super human speeds, which he used to catch meta humans. He had called himself, The Flash. He had run so fast that he traveled forward in time to this time-period so he hadn't aged. He had not been told about KITT or KARR.

"This is the area where Dr. Barstow was visiting friends in the year 2018. She had been on vacation with some friends and was going to come to Star Labs to see my wife Iris West-Allen and myself, as I was on vacation and working with some friends on a case that the CCPD needed help with," Barry said. He then heard a rough voice speak.

"You are Married to Iris Sarah West-Allen, who is friends with Dr. Barstow," KARR noted. Barry noted the amber scanner on the black Ford Mustang Shelby.

"you're a car and cars don't talk," Barry said. "Correct. I am not a car. I am The Knight Automated Roving Robot, the first in a bold new line of vehicle designed to keep humans safe. My original programming was corrupted and I became a military project that killed men and women of our armed forces in Iraq. Now what do you require Mr. Allen to give us information to prove Michael Knight's innocence," KARR said.

"And the other car is just like you, eh KARR?" Barry asked. KITT spoke an affirmative

"Okay, can you create a holographic overlay from the night of November 5, 2018?" Barry asked. Both KITT & KARR both overlaid a holographic image of Gotham Bay.

"KITT or KARR, can you hack into the computer files for November 5th, 2018?" Barry asked. Two minutes later holographic images of KITT and Michael appeared.

"What was I doing there, and what was She doing there?" Mike asked. He leaned on KITT's hood. The hood's heads-up display came up and brought up a robot that transformed into a car and sped off. The image merged with the holographic image of Mike and KITT.

"KARR, that's not you, is it?" Mike asked. KARR spoke a negative.

"If I remember correctly the KARR project was discontinued due to the media pressure as Dr. Harrison Wells had gotten wind of it and threatened the military with release of video footage of my killing military personnel. They returned my parts to Knight Industries which rebuilt my body but not the robotic exoskeleton which Sarah seemed to view as not necessary. My body was going to be used as a backup for KITT but when KITT stolen by Maria Berio, Trinity Jean Knight took control of FLAG operations and finished a new CPU with virtual memory and a hard copy of my Processor much like what Billy Morgan did for KITT when KITT's CPU was installed into me to correct my programming flaws. I was also programmed with as much information from Dr. Charles Graiman as well as Wilton Knight. So while it may look like me it is not," KARR said. Barry then asked KARR to freeze the holographic image of the car. It was a Ferrari that was not familiar to the case files.

"What is this car?" Barry asked. Mike glanced at the holographic car and walked around it.

"There are files mentioning the Knight Reformulation One, a replacement for KITT should the AI go AWOL like I did. The government contracted Knight Industries Technology to build the vehicle. The files are redacted due to Government attachment to the project," KARR said. Trinity shook her head in shock.

"I didn't order the contract but someone did. Could it be one of Liber8's agents?" She asked. Barry shook his head no.

"No. That vehicle matches a defunct Foundation vehicle that the late Devon Miles created called the Knight Reformulation One. The vehicle was programmed then miss programmed by a technician that harbored a grudge against Devon. KRO was programmed with the same program that the original KARR was programmed with, thanks to Tess Mercer," Trinity said. Terry stared at her.

"you were there?" He asked. She nodded. "I was born in 1972, and kept hidden from my father for years, until Elizabeth introduced me to him, after Garth's African experience," she said.

KARR, can you download this holographic footage to the bat computer?" Terry asked. The vehicle gave an affirmative.

"To the bat cave," Terry said….
