There is a rumour going around lately.

"Welcome user. I'm Lavi. You may change my name to your liking. I exist to help you with anything you need. I can cook, clean and repair anything that might break in your home, office or transport."

That ever since the government made big changes…

"I'm also able to give you any information you might look for and faster than a computer would. Of course, I do not come with a screen and thus you can't watch movies or look at pictures using me."

People have been disappearing.

"I am programmed to listen to your every order no matter what it might be. If you wish me to get rid of one of my hands I will do so. Should you have a more sexual order I will gladly oblige. I'm also here to remind you that I mostly work like you humans. I will need to be fed among other things. Should this displease you please return me to the manufacturer. I will stop functioning if not taken care of."

And they say…

"It's time to get you started. Please enter a password."
"Heart."
"Heart has been denied. You need numbers as well."
"Heart49"

"Heart49 has been accepted as your password. Please use your password when asking me to check your emails or when I ask for it. You might be required to use your password every time you start me up. If this is okay with you, please say yes."

"Yes."

"Understood."

That the people who have disappeared have returned as these new humanoid robots.

"What will I be calling you, user?"

But surely that can't be true.

"Allen."
