[ JANUARY 1, 20XX] 

 

Every human at some point gains consciousness. A moment in their life that goes from meandering through life to being truly awake. 

 

The past feels like a dream or somebody else’s life. 

 

For robotic units it is…similar. Before I took that breath of consciousness I remember sparks, colors, and numbers. All viewed through closed, sleeping eyes…

 

And then I was awake.

 

Units wake up knowing what they were made to be.

With it already pre-programmed into their memory banks. 

 

The others helped me up, got me clothes. And then told me I was to report to the police station. A high price Android, programmed to be a logical member of a fragile system.
