Waking up in this world is the last thing I want to do nowadays. There is no one and nothing on this desolate little island in the universe named earth. Well almost desolate all except for me of course and my dog Omega who's been begging to go outside all week. Walking through the almost normal looking city, the only thing missing being the busy lives of others who believe they are robots.
I guess for this portion of the story I would need to tell the background. Of course as nearly every human predicted the aliens did come but they didn't come from outer space they came from right here in our own territory. The ultimate powers had been getting the government to kidnap models and try their robotic experiments on. They made the models into inactive robots that looked like mannequins at first before they lured the social media influencers who thought they were just an attraction to post. They lured them into a hotel that covered the experimental hybrids they were making.
How do I know this in such detail you may ask, well that's because I was one of the first influencers to be taken to one. They stripped everyone's memory of anything that could distract them from following the objective including our names. Then sent us back to the world to be "brand ambassadors" or mindless dummies for their product the "NeuroSync Crown where anyone can be a queen yasss" which made all the men in the world undoubtedly believe that they were women. The neurotransmitter installed in the "crown" turned the regular citizens into mannequins that were transferred to the parts facility in Israel that was covered up by the war.
When the ultimate powers decided that they had perfected the code for the "mannequins" or AI robots to gain control over the rest of the population they struck, making the rest of society Ai as well.
Notice I said they had to perfect the code, exactly, they didn't have the perfected code for my batch and we still had minds of our own. We tried to warn everybody but they shund us called us homophobes or conservatives so we stopped trying to pull them out of their delusion and stood back and watched as everyone was turned to AI then as all of society stopped creating and leaving their houses without the command from the ultimate powers.
That takes us back to my error. I still have all of my human consciousness but all the upgrades of an AI robot, meaning I can do freaking database searches in my mind. I've tried taking it out but it triggers some sort of alarm as they were supposed to destroy my batch, which is defective after all. I still have to avoid viruses and the MDT's who only have to scan me once with their eyes to know I am not supposed to be here.
Walking along the sidewalk with my phony clean up crew outfit I spot an MDT with a group of defectives. I have the human urge to go help them but my bot says it's dumb and ill get killed right alongside them so I just look down and try to just walk past them and the crowd of ncp(non-conscious people).
"Hey you!"
'So much for not being seen' I thought as I turned around.
