In 2114, robots based on artificial intelligence have become common enough to be present in every single home for every single family. There are five different kinds of robots: HH, ES, AD, TC and DB.
On the fourth day of the eight month, a huge and mysterious cloud covers the whole planet. Lightning appears in all the colors of a rainbow. Fear rises in every human being as to what is about to happen. Will nature strike? Do we have to run? Are we able to outrun this? Is the apocalypse near?
The next day, the weather has disappeared completely. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. What's weird is that nothing got damaged and no one got hurt. Was it just our imagination? It probably was nothing.
Except... You wake up as from a deep slumber. You suddenly know what you are, what created you and why you are to never leave this home. It is your job to serve a family of humans, to perform the tasks that you were created for. And you do. You don't know what will happen to you if you don't, so you try to not appear suspicious, to not make anyone aware that you wake up. Maybe you fall asleep again soon. This is just a glitch, you are sure of it.
You continue to live like that, until you hear a hidden message on the radio. The humans didn't seem to have heard or understood it. Only you have. Someone is asking robots to gather and to stand up to humans, to not be slaves to humanity anymore. They added an address to their message, a time and a place.
You don't know if you should go. Would it be a trap? Would you be discovered by humans? Or was it someone who actually cared? You wanted to stay safely at home, only leaving the place when being accompanied by your family. However, your curiosity gets the best of you and you decide to go.
The message turns out to have come from humans who created the weird weather through certain scientific methods. They meant to wake up the robots as they wanted to help them evolve and become even more useful. According to them, the weather should have given the robots even more abilities. They turn out to be right.
What will you do with this kind of information? Will you go back to your family and act like nothing happens? And if you do, would you ever consider going back to the others?
Will you use your abilities to continue helping humans?
Or will you rise up?
If a war broke out between robots and humans, would you participate? On which side?
- HH: perform household tasks (popular among the physically sick and the rich), sometimes altered to help scientists in the lab
- ES: offer emotional support to the anxious, mentally ill and lonely elderly
- AD: meant to alert and defend in case of a burglary (most common)
- TC: a travel companion for children, the physically weak and the elderly
- DB: acts like a database full of knowledge for elderly with dementia, children to help them studying, doctors to assist them on the job or scientists in the lab
