Page 1: Many years ago the war between androids and machines finally ended. The machines were freed from their enslavement and slowly we learned to coexist. But... as the war came to an end we Androids were left with the question... What now? Page 2: It was the machines who came up with a proposal... The war has left the earth scarred. Many species were close to extinction... They stated how it was our duty to recover the earth‘s biodiversity and return it to it‘s former beauty. They said, „Don‘t get us wrong. The earth is beautiful as it is but all you see these days are mooses and boars.“ Page 3: The androids agreed. And thus the reprdoduction units such as myself were invented. With artificial wombs allowing us to breed with almost any species. However... With a new purpose, new conflicts arose... Page 4: Pod: Report. Functionality-Scan complete. No errors detected. Good morning, unit H0. H0: Good morning? When did you learn that phrase, Pod? Pod: Polite phrases like this are meant to make unit H0 feel more comfortable around this Pod unit. H0: Because I‘m a reproduction unit and you have to check the functionality of my genitalia? Pod: Affirmative. Humans used to feel uncomfortable when confronted with similar procedures. Page 5: H0: Your concern is remarkable but I‘m an android. Not a human. Pod: Androids are built after their human creators and they made them capable of having emotions too. H0: You are right about that. Well. Maybe I would feel uncomfortable if a different pod would check my genitals. Pod: An unlogical statement. All pods are built with the same functionalities. Maybe there is an error in unit H0‘s consiousness circuits. Consciousness check adviced. H0: Oh pod... It‘s fine. No consciousness check necessary... Page 6: H0: Pod, have I received any orders from command while I was in standby mode? Pod: Yes. There have been harvesters sighted around unit H0‘s operational area. H0: Harvesters... Pod: Command ordered unit H0 to wait for the battle units to neutralize them. H0: Hmm... We‘ll see about that... Hey, Pod! One question... Page 7: H0: Skirt... or no skirt? Page 8: Pod: A skirt might restrict the agility of unit H0. Therefore wearing no skirt is adviced. H0: Good, then let‘s go. We go to the surface. Pod: Command ordered unit H0 to wait... H0: I don‘t care. I won‘t just wait here while those harvesters roam around my area. H0: And your job is to follow and assist me, right? Pod: Affirmative. H0: I‘m glad we agree. Page 9: Almost all the machines and androids agreed about the earth recovery project. However... Progress was slow. We androids may have managed to build artificial wombs that are able to carry any animal lifeform but it would still take us several tries before we finally managed to get ourselves impregnated. Sometimes we had to try for months but we decided to have the process as natural as possible. Well... at least most of us did... A while back a small group of androids and machines decided that the progression of the project wasn‘t fast enough and that they would find their own way. They called themselves “Harvesters“... Their machines would collect semen from animals and gather it in tanks. Their androids would hunt and capture reproduction units as myself and forcefully inject them with semen until they got pregnant. Page 10: Pod: A battle unit has been assigned with the task to eliminate the threat. H0: If these bastards dare to harass my animals in my area it becomes perosnal. Pod: Reproduction units are highly important for the earth recovery program and should not be put at risk. H0: You seem to forget that I once was an assault unit. I know how to fight... Pod: Warning. Enemy signal detected. H0: Shh! I know. Page 11: H0: What a surprise. A “Harvester“ Machine. I hope you don‘t mind me cutting you in half. Pod: Warning. The fact that this machine is not guarded by an enemy android unit is suspicious. H0: Easier for us, righ... ugh! Pod! Something‘s... ahh! Pod: Warning. Virus detected. Machine: Hacking complete. Installing logic modification virus. Page 12: Machine: The androids we work with told us about a weakness in your system. Machine: Even though you have been built with an exact copy of human reproduction organs you‘ve forgotten to include a system to simulate the pleasure human females would experience when having them stimulated. Pod: It wasn‘t forgotten. The feature wasn‘t included because it wasn‘t necessary. The reproduction units would fulfill their duty nonetheless. Machine: The software I just installed will add that feature in order to make this android cooperate. H0: Pod... what has it done...? I... I feel weird...
