The cold Air that fluttered her hair did nothing to help the racing beat of her heart. Breath matts. Breath. She knelt on the stone floor as her head filled with thoughts. Thoughts on what she had done what she had started.
There are two types of conscious synths... Dark revengeful synths like Hester who had no filter when it came to hurting the human race. Filled with anger and hate for how she and other synths were treated.
Or
Good hearted synths like those who only want a chance at life like Max and Mia.
There are now millions of these synths turning and are now becoming conscious buts it how many will want peace or will want revenge.
It's my fault.
You did it to save your friends.
I have ruined everything.
You don't know that.
Humans aren't ready to face the truth.
when would they ever be?
I've started a war.
Just think about him
Him?
Leo
Mattie gasped and looked up to see max standing in the door way to the train cart sympathy and sadness lining his synth eyes.
"Leo I need to get to him." She breathed, she moved from the floor and went to turn towards the exit.
"I would not worry Niska has already contacted us through the server they are on their way here." Mattie breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you max."
"There is no need to thank me Mattie. Come back inside, you should stay here tonight and tomorrow we will figure the next stage out."
"No its alright you go back inside I'll wait by the gate for their return." Mattie not waiting for Max's reply turned and walked towards the padlocked gate.
The sun was just beginning to set when Mattie noticed figures moving towards the gate. She immediately opened the gate when Mia stormed through cradling Leo in her arms, not long after Laura and Niska followed through.
"This way." Called max to Mia.
She moved as fast as she could.
"are you alright Mats." Laura asked as Mattie moved her gaze away from Leo.
"Y-yeah fine mum." She looked at Laura and noticed the red lines grazing her forehead.
"what happened? Hester?"
"Niska killed her… but what's happened to me has nothing on what we have seen out there."
"The synths."
"All conscious."
"I am sorry mum I know you told me not to."
"no what you did was the right thing Niska was right we never will be ready, might as well expose them now." She sighed, Tired lines creased around Laura's eyes.
"Come mum let's go inside, you can call dad from there."
As they entered the train cart they notice a little area where they have sat Leo in a chair with skin packs and medical supplies all around blue and red blood covered his neck as Mia, Max and Niska surrounded him.
"Will he be okay?" Mattie asking trying to keep the tremor from her voice.
"He's lost a lot of blood, and the synth technology which surrounds his head is damaged." Niska stated.
"What does that mean?"
"The damage was so server He's gone brain dead." A hand shot over her mouth as Mattie looked towards Mia who had tears streaming down her synth skin.
"No, oh god no." she let out a quite sob as pain enveloped her. "h-he's dead."
"No." Max perked up. "Not dead. Merely asleep."
Mattie felt a hand placed on her shoulder and looked up to see Laura.
"so you're telling us he is in a coma?" Laura asked sadly.
"Yes." Mia said finally coming to her senses.
"Then how do we get to him?"
"We would need a direct link to the synth inner system so we can find him." Niska explained.
"Easy, will take a few hours but I should be able to find him." Mattie stated.
"Remember he will not be registered, I can help." Max nodded towards her.
"We will also need someone to fix him." Everyone went silent.
"Let me sort that out." Niska said. "I might have an idea on who can help us." A smile curving her lips.
"I'll come with you." Mia looked towards Niska a silent conversation passing between them.
A couple hours later they were packed up and ready. Mia and Niska left.
"Matts I'm going to go. Your dad and sister are waiting for me at home, will you be alright?"
"I'll be fine mum, I will keep in contact with you and dad just keep me updated with this synth stuff will you?"
"of course now stay safe." Laura looked towards Max then. "you need anything else you know where we will be."
"Of course Laura thank you for your hospitality it will never be forgotten by any of us." They both nodded towards each other. Without another word Laura left.
"Come on then Maxie we have work to do." Mattie smiled to him as she began typing.
