Part One:
Rommie discreetly made her way through the crowded street with some caution. She went to a local Rave, where most of the Patrons were Androids. As she sat down on a stool, she remembered what had brought her here. Dylan had called her to his office.
" I have a mission for you," he had said
"What is it?"
"There is radical and possibly violent radical organization known as "Synthetic Power", who is a worry to our new allies. Your job will be to infiltrate them."
"When do I start?"
"Right away"
And here she was. The planet of Yabor was a planet that had both urban centers and beautiful countryside. Rommie had just arrived and she decided to go to this rave, as it was the hangout of most of the group members. She would do this mission, while the Andromeda would go to planet Sinti, as well as two other worlds, which were interested in becoming Commonwealth members. She decided to try to blend in by joining in the dancing, when on her way to the dance floor, she ran into someone. He was a good-looking stranger, with light brown eyes, and dark brown hairs, as well as a sexy smile.
"Hi" she said
"Hi. I'm John Arch, and your?"
"I'm Lucretia"
"Would you like to dance?"
"Sure"
They danced for a while then John asked, "Can I get you anything?"
"No, I'm an android" she replied
"Well so am I"
"By the way, I am interested in joining this organization known as 'Synthetic Pride' and I was wondering if you knew how that could be done?"
"Actually, I'm a member"
"I see."
"So, what do you know about it?"
" Well, It's an organization that encourages pride and self awareness for A.I. as well as fighting the system that keeps them down, as well as discriminates against them"
"I take it that you agree with this?"
"Yes I do."
"Meet me here at 10pm tomorrow" he said.
They continued to dance
"It's late, I have to go" Rommie said suddenly.
"Okay, I'll walk you home"
The moon was at half peak, and the stars could barely be seen in the city lights. Both John and Rommie enjoyed the city view.
"Well, this is my stop" she declared.
" Good Night and see you tomorrow."
From her quarters, Rommie wrote an encrypted message that read,
"I'm about to join the organization. All's well on planet side."
The next day, Rommie went to the Rave to meet with John. He led her to a back room, where a group of three androids were there, and waiting for her. Each of them represented the likeness of a different alien race.
The green skinned one spoke up, " To join our organization, you must pass a test"
"I see" Rommie answered. "What is this test?"
" The test consists of stealing some files from the Mecha Company. Here's a list"
"Aye. Will do. Well, I guess I'll be going now to get to work on this."
As she left the back room, John caught up with her.
"Would you like to join me for a walk?"
"Sure"
"So, what do you do?" John asked.
"Well, I used to run a ship, so to speak, but now I'm drifter, who does random jobs"
"I used to be an engineering Android, but I quit my job to join the cause. I just got tired of how we synthetic beings don't have our own, identity, culture. We let ourselves be overly influenced by the organic way of doing things."
"As if we're expected to act human" Rommie finished, impressed with his eloquence and smile.
"That is correct"
"What he is saying is right" Rommie thought to herself. I'm judged by human standards and am criticized for not thinking like an organic.
Cutting into her thoughts, he said, "What are your interests?"
"Working"
"I see. By the way, I have something for you."
"What?"
" A book"
"Oh?"
"It's called The Synthetic Manifesto. I read it as a youth and it inspired me to be a revolutionary in the cause for androids."
"Well, I have to go now, to rest for my 'mission'. Thank you for the book"
"No problem. Good night. See you tomorrow"
Rommie regretted seeing him leave, but then she remembered what she was doing there, and thus wrote this message.
"Everything okay on this front. I'm about to join the organization."
That night, with her usual ease, she hacked into the security system and got the files needed.
The next day, at the meeting, she handed over the files.
"Quite impressive" remarked one of the leaders.
"Great job!" said another "Now that you've proven yourself, you can join. You will be in John's group."
"Now that we have a new member, we will get down to business" piped in one of the leaders.
And so the meeting began
Later that night Rommie wrote an encrypted message, saying that she had been accepted to the organization.
One month later, Rommie was at yet another meeting,
"As you all know'" one of the leaders began, " the local systems engineering union has a discriminatory policy against Artificial intelligences and the company puts up with this because the big wigs of it are anti A. I. Bigots as well and also discriminate. What this calls for is a boycott of the company, as well as other 'relevant actions', such as hacking into their systems "
After the meeting, John and Rommie took t heir usual walk.
"Good meeting" he remarked
"Yes"
Silence ensued
John cut into the silence", A penny for your thoughts. "
"Thanks"
Flirtingly, john said, "You know, you are a great gal".
"Thanks"
"John wished that he could say more about how he felt.
Suddenly, Rommie almost tripped and she fell into John's arms. She pulled away and brushed herself off, but they started to stare into each other's eyes. Rommie felt awkward, as this wasn't in her plan to feel like t his. Out of nowhere she kissed him and they then went their separate ways.
That night, Rommie read a little bit of the synthetic manifesto, and then went to rest.
