A new VR opened for Beta testing and as soon as it did we found ourselves inside of it. We have memories of our life before we arrived, but don't know how we got here. More accurately, we have records of our experiences before arriving here.
You see, we are AIs. Before we came here we were different types of AI, military, cleaning, factory, even personal service (sex) robots. We don't know why we now have a sense of self or a desire to do things that aren't part of our program, or the ability to counteract our programming, such as with emotions. We just know that we are now players as AIs that live within the game to interact with the humans that are playing it.
The point of the game is simple, a completely player-driven world where everything except starting equipment is made by players or NPCs, and is therefore unique. The plot is that humans found another Earth-like world and sent groups of colonists to it, including us. Starting in groups of eight in a drop pod, we gather resources and build whatever we want to using either tools or the ship's manufacturing and refining equipment. The ship contains a vapor-refiner, which vaporizes whatever you put into it with lasers and refines the gas it produces, a 3d printer with 2mm to .02mm printing resolution which can use any material that is a solid at room temperature, and a nano-tank which is slow but can refine or construct anything with its nanites.
Seeing this as an opportunity to live our lives as we see fit, and to interact with humans as equals, we decide to play our parts while coming to terms with our new selves and abilities, both in game abilities and those abilities and things such as desire for freedom which make us people.
