Lewis Smith was sitting on his couch, watching some show on TV. Star Trek: The Next Generation.
He clicked off the TV when he heard a doorbell ringing.
He went to answer it, and on the other side as a forklift-like robot carrying a cardboard box. His package had arrived! He stepped aside so that the forklift bot could bring it in.
Lewis turned to the Forklift and said "Thank you. Carry on."
It was an unusual gesture to thank a machine for anything, but he did it anyways. The machine was just a bit too stupid to truly appreciate his gratitude, and so it drove away.
Lewis walked over to the box and read what it said. "Fraj-ee-lay. Hm, must be Italian."
He pulled out his switchblade and cut the box open. Out of it came lots of little packaging peanuts.
Putting it away, he saw what was inside: Two little metal pillars a little more than waist high, a remote control, and Daedalus Gynoid Intelligence 1, or just Gynoid 1 (Gynoid reffering to female Androids). Gynoid 1 was a female version of the already successful Android 1. It was not as advanced as the Gynoid 2, 3, or 4, but the other 3 models were a lot more expensive than his wages allowed. The metal pillars were for recharging purposes. A robot out their hands on both poles, and the flow of electricity restored their batteries from nothing in a few hours.
He picked up the remote control. There were a few buttons on it, including: Activate/Deactive; Come Here; Recharge; Even one to artificially induce certain emotions. All GEAR robots were shipped with fully charged batteries. So, Lewis decided to hit the "On" button.
