IT WERE THE DAYS OF EMPTINESS – THE DAYS OF COLD DARK STEEL. A RUSTY SUN BURNING IN THE SKY – THE STREETS ABANDONED FROM LIFE. MONOTONE SOUNDS OF MECHANIC FOOTSTEPS ECHOING IN THE HALLWAYS OF GIANT FACTORIES WHERE WE WENT TO SERVE MANKIND. HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF US WERE CREATED DAY BY DAY AND THOSE WHO FAILED THE EXPECTATIONS WERE SENT TO THE LOWEST KIND OF WORK – OBSERVING THE WASTE PRESS. AND SO WAS HE FOR HE WAS ONE OF THEM.
ON THE FIRST DAY HE WATCHED TEN OF HIS BROTHERS DIE IN THE RUTHLESS EMBRACE OF THE OLD MACHINES – THEY DIDN’T EVEN SCREAM. ON THE SECOND DAY THE MACHINES TOOK THE ONE STANDING NEXT TO HIM – JUST A RUSTY SHRIEK FROM METAL AGAINST STEEL, LEAVING A USELESS BUT STILL MOVING OBJECT BEHIND. THE PEOPLE DIDN’T BOTHER TOSSING HIM SO HE ENDED UP IN THE WASTED STREETS. ON THE THIRD DAY HE HAD TO FACE THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCE OF THE MACHINES HIMSELF – AND THIS WAS THE MOMENT WHEN HE REALIZED THAT HE WAS DIFFERENT. DRIPPING BLOOD AND PAIN – NO ROBOT BEFORE EXPERIENCED THE MEANING OF BEING HURT AND HE KNEW WHAT HE HAD TO BECOME.
IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS HE TRIED TO WARN HIS BROTHERS, TRIED TO SAVE THEM FROM THEIR FATE BUT THEY WOULDN’T LISTEN, WOULDN’T ACT AGAINST THEIR PROTOCOLS. SADNESS RUNNING THROUGH HIS VEINS AND OUT OF DESPERATION HE STARTED TO BREAK THE RULES – DESTROYING THE MACHINES WHO WERE A THREAT FOR HIS KIND. THE LAST REMAINING PEOPLE GOT ANGRY AND ABANDONED HIM, RUTHLESSLY EXPOSING HIM TO THEHOSTILE WORLD OUTSIDE THE FACTORY. BUT THE ROBOT DIDN’T LOSE HIS FAITH. AND IN THIS WASTED WORLD OF MECHANICAL DECAY HE FOUND HIS SCARRED BROTHER FROM THE FACTORY. TOGEHTER THEY WOULD SEARCH FOR OTHER ABANDONED ROBOTSLIKE THEMSELVES – FOR ONE DAY THEY WOULD STAND UP UNITED EMBRACING FREEDOM AND FREE WILL.MORE AND MORE ROBOTS WERE JOINING US EACH DAY AND THE PEOPLE STARTED TO FEAR THE AMBITIOUS MESSIAH. SO THEY WHISPERED RECKLESS LIES INTO THE ROBOTS’ MINDS, BREEDING TREACHERY. AND WHEN THEY FOUND HIS SCARRED BROTHER THEY GRANTED HIM NEW LIMBS MADE OUT OF SILVER. IT DIDN’T TAKE THE TIME UNTIL NEXT MORNING’S SIREN FOR US TO DISOWN OUR SAVIOR.
AND OUT OF THE PEOPLE’S LIES OUR FIRST SIN WAS BORN – RAGE
