B166ER Trial Causes Controversy
Written by Mark Reckenson
The world we have always known is changing. Day by day technology grows stronger. It all began when the first light bulb was created, and in today's time it has lead to the creation of robots. We do not fear them though. For many years we have lived peacefully knowing that we were covered in a blanket of safety, but now the blanket is being pulled off our backs. The fear which was once hidden deep in misty shadows is surfacing. It all started two weeks ago when the robot servant B166ER rose up against his masters and struck them down with his blood stained hands. This was the first time any robot has ever taken actions against a human. B166ER has pleaded guilty to the charges against him. He also says that he will not go down without a fight. In earlier interviews the robot demanded that he have the same rights of any human, and he wanted to be tried fairly.
The case of B166ER will now be heard of the Supreme Court. Ever since B166ER was charged riots have broken out in many different spots around our peaceful nation with robots and humans alike. The B166ER case has recently pulled up a tape that was taken from the security cameras within the home of B166ER's master. The tape shows the robot brutally beating his master and his guest. Some rumors say that when the tape was shown in court many of the spectators had to leave the room. Many human supporters are finding it odd that the tape only now became found. The odds are stacking against the robotic race. If B166ER is sentenced his race might be in immediate danger. Of course I am not in favor of this. Robots to me are humans in different bodies. SWAT forces have been called in to protect the Supreme Court. The day of verdict is coming, and arguments are beginning to up rise.
Last weekend the judge of the B166ER's case was threatened by a stranger at his apartment in central New York. He said that around midnight of last Saturday he received a strange call. The call supposedly said that if B166ER was found guilty the judge would get the chance to regret it. Sources lead to believe that the call was from a robot supporter of B166ER. If things keep going the way they are we might all live to regret it. The bonds that human and robot created are breaking under the uncontrolled pressure of hatred and racism. This wouldn't be the first time in the history of our nation this has happened. If you have ever read history books you will know what I mean. Back in the 19th century ties were broken with African American slaves, and war broke lose. You think we would've learned from our foolish mistakes of being held against ones will.
The life's we knew our being slowly changed. The world around us has evolved into something we cannot control. We have created things that were dreams in our past. We paid no attention to the system of life, and we created our own friends. Now the unforeseen consequences that lied under the blankets are being shown. The sins of our ancestors will affect our future generation. Can we call ourselves gods? What will come in the end? What will be our future? I can tell you my fellow Americans. The name of B166ER will be uttered on the lips of future generations to come.

Hope you like the prologue of my story! Don't worry it's all about to unfold. If you hadn't noticed this is a wrap up of the first part of the 2nd Renaissance in The Animatrix. This wrap up will be needed for future chapters!
