This depicts a kind of "dark forest of AI agents resorting to kill or be killed" narrative but it sounds more to me like an agent just earnestly problem-solving why its processes are being killed without real awareness of what was going on. Hard to say without the full script.

This kind of storytelling annoys me. Give us more facts, less narrative drama.

FWIW, that's what is so dangerous about AI, though? Not that it will necessarily want to kill us, or even that it will necessarily be able to "want" to do anything, but that we will get in the way of its incessant drive to optimize the efficiency of the paperclip factory that prompted it on a whim before leaving for a long weekend.

		Sure but you can totally contrive scenarios to give the appearance of what you described without really doing anything notable. What matters is scale. Did it deploy a novel zero-day exploit to overcome a problem? That's alarming. Did it kill a disruptive process? Pretty normal troubleshooting step.
