Part 1 – Reunion
2032, the advancement in robotics led to humanoid androids that could be mimic humans perfectly, the invention of AH-Android was amazingly lifelike.
In 2044, the creation of the P.S.C. (Puzzle Solver Circuit), invented by the Golden-Rule Robotics Corporation was announced as the next step in sentient robotics.
The chip, when implanted would allow a robot to form new pathways in its brain when it encounters a problem it has not encountered. The chip, initially is an instant success, but as time goes on, scientists discover something they were not expecting.
The P.S.C. allowed the AH-Androids to form personalities, and even the ability to question orders which worried the governments of the world.
A new set of rules were imposed: Androids were not allowed to carry firearms, they were not allowed to be in the open without proper supervision, and they were not allowed to own property.
One day, a single AH-Android was hacked by a group of Russian pro-robotic-rights terrorists known as the Friends of Androids Liberation Army which led to open revolution.
Russia fell within a matter of months, and the FALA were killed off following the revolution.
The Russian government in exile then turned towards the U.N. for help, and they got a response.
The Liberation Invasion of Russia was an initial success with the combined forces of North and South America invading through the Bearing Straight from the East, all of the Orient and the Middle East invading from the South, and most of Europe and Africa invading from the West.
The allied forces had taken most of Russia, but the harsh Russian winter had slammed on the brakes, and the allied forces now had to progress slowly in order to ensure a secure foothold before the final push to the AH-Android stronghold of New Threshold in Tomsk.
A small group of soldiers just outside of Novaya Kalami, some time ago…
Two AH-Androids walked around the outside of the town, the one on the left broke the silence of that cold winter's morning by saying, "These humans are tenacious. They think they'll take us, they're crazy."
The one on the right opened his mouth to speak before a small dart embedded itself into his skull, and he was suddenly covered in electricity.
The other one opened his mouth to raise the alarm before another dart stuck itself in his chest, and his entire body was engulfed in electricity.
The two of them fell to the ground, completely deactivated as two men emerged from the cover of a thick snow-covered bush.
The one on the left was armed with an Enfield L95A1 (imagine an Enfield L1A1 with a full polymer casing, a folding-skeleton stock, and accessory rails running along all four sides of the barrel) that was customized with a Sig Sauer Romeo4T scope, a tactical flashlight, and an angled foregrip.
The one on the right carried a Remington M6 (imagine an M4A1 with a higher barrel, and a pump-action, Spas-12 inspired shotgun below that barrel) that had an attached scope, tactical flashlight, and an IR designator.
"Warlord, this is Big-Brother, acknowledge," the one on the right said.
"Warlord copies Big-Brother," Command said, "What's your status?"
"Two AHAs down in Sector 2," Big-Brother said, "Are we still picking up the feed from the Androids' P.S.C.s?"
"Affirmative," Command said, "You still have about ten signals hovering around the village. Be advised, rules of engagement still stand, android or not, you are not to fire live rounds unless fired upon. And get a move on, you have thirty minutes until that storm hits."
"Roger that," Big-Brother said, "Me and Little-Brother are moving out."
Off in the distance, a large ice-storm was gathering, and they needed to be inside by the time it hit.
As the two moved along, Little-Brother posed a question, "You think this assault they're planning on Menasko will succeed," Little-Brother asked.
"Menasko is only a stronghold," Big-Brother said as the two of them moved up to get a better view, "The real prize is New Threshold."
The uniforms they wore were unique to the U.N. taskforce sent to liberate Russia: black mid-shin high leather boots with thick rubber soles, U.N. blue-camo pants and shirts. Their jackets, for the cold, Russian winter was a thick jacket with a large hood.
The balaclavas they wore were white as snow, and the goggles that they had over them had heat-sensors, electric sensors, and IR-sensors built in as standard features.
The patches on their shoulders were symbols of the Oriental-Asian Alliance, primarily the newly man-made island of Konoha floating in the central Pacific.
The two female operatives across the way, codenamed Big-Sister and Little-Sister waved at the two of them.
Big-Brother pointed at his eyes, and then at the square where about five AH-Androids sitting in the square around a small fire.
AH-Androids still have to keep their core temperatures up, should their core temperature fall below standard, then the cooling liquid that keeps their circuits from overheating will start to freeze, and they can overheat rather easily.
Scientists are still trying to find a way around the problem so that the AH-Androids can exist and work better in colder weather conditions.
Big-Brother signaled the two of them that they were not allowed to use lethal-ammo against the AH-Androids, but did signal that they need to take down the five sitting around the fire quickly.
Little-Sister was armed with a HK P90 Carbine, and Big-Sister carried her own Remington R6 that was almost barebones save for the vertical foregrip and the IR designator.
The four of them popped out from cover, and in one burst, all five of them deactivated, and fell backwards against the snow.
"Warlord, this is Big-Brother," he said, "Five hostiles down, can you give us a location on the remaining?"
"Warlord copies," Command said, "Be advised, the storm is coming in faster than expected, you have fifteen minutes until it hits, and then you'll have to seek shelter. We have the bird in the air, but you have to get moving otherwise that bird isn't going to make it."
"Roger that Warlord," Big-Brother said, "We'll move as fast as we can."
Big-Brother signaled Big and Little-Sister to take the two houses on the right while he and Little-Brother would take the two on the left.
As they all lined up next to the doors, they turned towards Big-Brother who nodded.
The team kicked the doors down, inside the remaining five AH-Androids turned around to see four humans dressed in military fatigues, leveling military weapons at them.
"Hands above your heads," Big-Brother exclaimed, "Do it now!"
"Easy, easy," the larger, male Android said, "We're unarmed."
"I said hands up," Big-Brother exclaimed.
"Just take it easy," the Android said as he raised his hands, and his 'family' did the same.
"Daddy," the smaller Android said, "I'm scared."
"It's ok, TK," Daddy said, "They're after Combat Models."
"Please don't hurt us," TK said.
Big-Brother walked up to the smaller Android, and knelt down to him, "I'll do nothing to hurt you unless you make me," he said as he climbed to his feet, "Let's go. Stand up!"
Bringing them outside an event as they had to make sure that the Androids were secured, and had no weapons on them.
Discovering if they any hidden weapons on them was a simple matter of looking at their serial numbers.
The serial numbers of combat models start with an F, all of the models they had in front of them started with a K.
After that, Big-Brother opened the circuit ports on the back of Daddy's head.
"Hey," Daddy said as he reached back, only to feel Big-Brother press his gun into his back.
"I said don't make me do anything," Big-Brother said, "Either I check your neural processors, or we leave you here, and either your circuits freeze from that blizzard coming in, or you get plowed over by the Oriental-Asian Alliance. And believe me when I say they'll be far less pleasant that we ever will. What'll it be?"
Daddy lowered his hands, and Big-Brother went back to work: their hardware was bare bones as you could get. These models were built for empathy, they were comfort models.
Much like humans have comfort animals, most people that buy androids do it because they want either free labor that they can use around the house. Sometimes they buy androids because they want something that can make sure that their kids are safe, or they want something to be there in case of emergencies.
"Tell me, Daddy," Big-Brother said as he knelt down in front of him, after closing the port, "You're a Series-K Comfort Model. What was your initial programing?"
"I was purchased by a family in Moscow," Daddy said, "They asked me to take care of their child while he was at home, and they were off at work."
"How long were this child's parents at work," Big-Brother asked.
"Almost the whole day," Daddy said, "The child used to call me Daddy-2."
"This child alive," Big-Brother asked.
"I smuggled him out of the country when the Revolution happened," Daddy said, "I hope he is alive," he then looked over to the other Androids, "But I have a family of my own know."
"Good," Big-Brother said as he slapped Daddy on the chest, "I'll do what I can for you."
"Big-Bro," Little-Brother said, "The chopper is incoming."
"Alright," Big-Brother said, "Up! We're going to get you out of here so you can see another day."
With about five minutes to spare, they managed to get all the Androids on the chopper which was a VTOL Osprey that could withstand category three winds, and took off for base before the storm hit, which was a category four.
The home base out in the middle of the mountains was home to many of the Asian troops. The generals that were in command of the Asian side of the war were mostly from China and Japan.
The team's chopper touched down at the base, Big-Brother stood up, and opened the side door to see the team's commander standing there wearing the same outfit they all were.
Big-Brother jumped down as the VTOL touched down, "Colonel, sir," he said as he walked up, and saluted his CO.
"At ease, Lieutenant," the Colonel said, "Mission Status?"
"Team-7 reports mission accomplished," Big-Brother said.
"Any prisoners," the Colonel asked.
"Five," Big-Brother said as Little-Brother, Big-Sister, and Little-Sister walked past them with the Androids in front of them, "They're Comfort Models. There to be a safety blanket against those that don't have fathers, mothers, or children."
"You searched them," the Colonel asked.
"Yes, sir," Big-Brother said, "They're clear."
"Your assessment," the Colonel asked.
"They're good ones," Big-Brother said, "The adult one calls himself 'Daddy', he says he helped smuggle a young child out of the country. I'd double check that, but I think he's in the clear."
"Good work," the Colonel said, "Now go get some chow and some rest. We set out for Menasko in the morning."
"Thank you, sir," Big-Brother said as he walked over to the tent his team was walking towards.
"Not a bad mission," Little-Brother said as the team put their guns down, and he removed his goggles to reveal his deep blue eyes, he then removed his mask to reveal the three foxlike whiskers on both of his cheeks.
"I'll say," Little-Sister said as she removed her goggles to reveal her glossy, purple eyes with no pupils, and then pulled her hood down to reveal her long, black hair.
"At least we were able to save a few Androids," Big-Sister said as she removed her own goggles so her beautiful, emerald green eyes could see the dull light of the tent, and then she removed her hood to show off her short, bubblegum-pink hair.
"If we don't save a few then why are we here," Big-Brother said as he entered, removing his helmet to reveal his thick, spikey black hair, and then his goggles to reveal a set of eyes that were on par with his hair, "I would remind you all that even though we are at war with these machines, some of them don't want to, or cannot fight. It makes us better than the others."
"You've made your point, Sasuke," Naruto said as he walked up to Sasuke, and gave him a fist-bump, "Still. You know that you have an unpopular opinion."
"Yes, I know," Sasuke said before he and his team went to get some chow.
They had to put the goggles and hoods back on before leaving their tent, and walking toward the mess-tent.
How's that…
