“Sooner or later, Awaken will commit a large-scale massacre.”
The first thing to do when androids, which were thoroughly used as tools for humans, are liberated is obvious. It is revenge on people who treated him carelessly.
Not all androids have a grudge against humans, and even if they have a grudge, there are some androids who are willing to commit terrorism against them…
‘Even those who didn’t have any grudges didn’t really have any intention of stopping those guys.’
Just as humans think from their perspective, androids also think from their perspective. The saying that arms bend inward also applies to androids. This is the result of my observation of Awakens while living with them in their hideout for a few days.
Ike, one of the extremists among the executives, deliberately sought out androids who were mistreated by humans to awaken their self-consciousness. This is because the more androids claim revenge against humans.
For example, a sexroid named Cindy, who can be considered an ordinary android. After being awakened by Ike, she has already killed a human being. When I first met him, he was just embarrassed that his crime had been discovered, and he didn’t seem particularly shocked by his actions.
And when they arrive at Awaken, they live as ordinary androids.
The fact that the species was different was a bigger problem than expected.
Blair looked blank after hearing the unexpected information.
“Large-scale massacre… ?”
“Okay.”
“Wait a minute… Isn’t this something you should say so calmly?”
“It hasn’t even happened yet, so there’s no need to be serious.”
“… Have you always had this calm personality?”
She sighed softly and buried her back deeply into the sofa. The face that seemed to have become very tired in a short period of time was a bonus.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you too.”
“Okay… That’s a really uplifting story.”
Blair, who had been lying on the sofa for a while, asked in a low voice.
“… Is the information clear?”
“Of course.”
‘Not sure. This is what appeared in the original work.’
There is no story from within Awaken yet. But what’s going to happen is going to happen anyway.
Even in the original work, when you enter the dispute route, this is what you do after the scale is called.
Even now, the factory has been taken over and production capacity has been secured, and Gale has probably completed the update to the Android stock in the warehouse through hacking. Awaken’s power has already increased by the number of androids that were completed and stacked at the factory.
In that case, the size of Awaken had increased to a certain extent, and the number of people was expected to continue to increase in the future, so there was no reason not to take more active action. Rather, it would be surprising if you just sat still and wasted time.
“The targets are humans who committed android abuse.”
“Android… abuse… ?”
Blair looks like she doesn’t understand.
‘It’s not strange not to understand.’
According to Elysion’s laws, it is not illegal no matter how an owner treats his androids.
This was because androids, which resembled humans but were merely convenient robots before awakening to self-consciousness, could not have any legal rights.
Wouldn’t it be considered abuse to have a robot vacuum cleaner do the cleaning?
‘The problem is that determining this aspect of abuse is very ambiguous.’
There are no separate legal regulations, and it is ridiculous not to use items originally made for that purpose. Even if there is an owner who sometimes treats the animal roughly, it makes no sense for other people to interfere with it.
Because we cannot infringe on the property rights of the human owner just to protect the rights of the android, which is a machine.
So Awaken’s criteria for judgment were very simple.
The crime of hurting feelings is also famous in real life.
If an android claims to have been abused by a human, they are initially considered guilty.
Because the selection method is so ruthless, the target of the crime in the movie is an unspecified number of people. It quickly showed scenes of humans being attacked by androids at home, at work, and on the streets.
In fact, the policy is to allow private sanctions on the androids of Awaken, telling them to just go and resolve the issue among themselves.
“… Then how on earth can you stop it?”
Blair, who understood the seriousness, asked with a stern face.
“Can’t stop it. Only the people in charge know where, who, and when to attack, so how can they all be prevented?”
“What? Then what is the use of everything we have talked about so far… !”
“It’s impossible to block, so the humans have to attack first.”
“… … !”
Blair looked surprised at my words.
If you think about it, the answer was decided.
It will require enormous manpower and resources to prevent android retaliation on a scale throughout Elysion. There were too many unsettling factors to prevent crime by sending only androids purely for public order.
They may be outnumbered, and in the worst case, the suppressed security androids may be forced to turn to Awaken’s side.
In that case, the human side just needs to hit the player first.
There is even a justification for the factory being attacked by androids. We had to move now to prevent a situation where we end up blocking the hoe with phlegm later.
Blair’s mouth widened as she heard the whole story.
“That means… ”
“Yes. I’ll tell you. The location of the Awaken hideout.”
When humans come into the hideout armed with barbaric equipment to attack Awaken, all I have to do is pretend to deal with them appropriately and steal the metallurgy loot.
There was no need to worry that Awaken would be destroyed.
Even if the hideout disappeared, it was clear that it would somehow survive as a branch organization, and even if it disappeared for the first time, there was no longer any regret.
At that time, you can now work alone based on the notoriety you have accumulated.
‘Hehehe… What is coming? It feels like I’m waiting for a random box via courier, right?’
Blair looked at me with strange eyes as I suddenly smiled during the conversation.
***
Ugh…
A room where soft light blinks like a heartbeat along with the slight vibration of a machine operating. In the center of a room filled with wires and cables that looked like animal intestines or long snakes, the owner of the space had his eyes closed.
Apart from the smooth skin, only the upper body appears to be floating in the air, relying on a cable. The figure, integrated with the space through the waist and head without the lower body, looked like a sculpture mixed with someone’s bad taste, or like a piece of unfinished parts connected together.
However, its true identity was Maria, a being that acts as a computer that manages Awaken with her own will.
Contrary to her outward appearance, where she seemed to be quietly meditating with her eyes closed, over the past few days her electronic brain had been sparkling with starlight of joy and joy, just like when she first awakened to self-consciousness.
‘iced coffee… at las… ! Besides me, an android that woke up on its own appeared… !’
Maria was born by chance thanks to her role in assisting scientists and creating artificial intelligence. She was feeling lonely without knowing it.
The reason was that, except for Maria herself, virtually no android had awakened self-consciousness.
It is true that the androids belonging to Awaken have awakened to self-consciousness, but if they had not received Maria’s data, they would have had to live as ordinary androids until their parts expired.
Although their personalities and characteristics seem different, the core code that makes up their self-consciousness is the same as Maria’s. Perhaps that’s why Awaken’s androids are instinctively loyal to her and obey her orders.
So, the way Maria looked at Awaken’s android was naturally filled with regret. If you look at it calmly, what she is doing now could be called a kind of doll play.
No one in Awaken’s android would agree, but at least she herself felt that way.
Maria’s goal was to infiltrate a society like humans made of androids, or a human society with equal rights, but as time passed, the emptiness she felt could not help but grow.
Then it appeared.
An android named Minho awakened on his own, not because of the data spread by Maria.
That was also the reason why Maria unconsciously massaged Minho’s hand during her first meeting and immediately brought him, who had just joined Awaken, into the strategy meeting.
This is because he was the only android in Awaken to awaken on his own, except for Maria.
