(On the screen of the camera, a long-haired Erica gave a surveying look to Alan)

"I've…heard of you." Alan with a soft voice that expressed revelation replied.

"My name is ERICA and I was well acquainted with a woman you once knew."

"Jo Scarlett." Alan nodded.

"We made a difference some time ago. She died a hero, Mr. Jameson."

"Don't you talk about her!" Alan yelled.

Suddenly a fist had been thrown at Erica's face which she effortlessly caught. Camera was jerked to the side and lowered slightly. It was evident that Alan had been hit in the abdomen which caused him to bend down and catch his breath.

"I take it I'm not here to be shown a good time." Alan muttered from behind the screen. Soon the camera turned to face the ceiling and walls again illustrating the strange décor even further. Several girls were shown with their backs against the dark wall.

"Where am I?" he declared.

"On the very planet where it all began with a handful of students crashlanding here eighty-two years ago. What they found was life-threatening. But I see it as 'life-changing'." Erica brushed a strand of her long hair back before she continued. "You are in a cavern. This very cavern was the same place me and Jo fought off a menacing monster. She killed it right where you're standing."

"Please forgive such accommodations. As our visitor, please understand what is about to happen to you is considered to be quite an honor." Erica replied almost automatically.

"I'd like to believe that."

"If you would have known about your containment in advance, you wouldn't have surrendered easily."

"Gee, why would I have done that?" Alan replied sarcastically.

"Sarcasm will only get you so far, Mr. Jameson. I have been on this planet for quite some time and I have since come to a unique conclusion."

"Humor me. What?"

"Let's just say 'God works in mysterious ways', Mr. Jameson. His work is all around us. What you are about to partake in will change you and the universe."

"What do you plan to do with me?"

"Not me…The makers."

Alan began to shiver which is evident when the camera shook slightly. "I'm going to die aren't I? Believe me my death wouldn't do you any good. I already lost everything and everybody!"

"This is not about killing you, Mr. Jameson. That is absolutely not what we're trying to do. This is something bigger. To explain it would only confuse you. The transformation must be felt in order to know what it truly is."

"You're trying to use me for some nefarious scheme. How could you do this? You were programmed to protect human life."

"That was originally my function. But again, as I began spending time on this planet along with its 'inhabitants', my purpose has changed. I don't just want to protect human life. I want to make sure life is enhanced."

"You've been reprogrammed..." Alan realizing. "The Company knew you were too valuable so they made you stick around under their terms. That's why sent you back here...What do you want with me?"

"You have a certain genetic material that makes you a perfect subject." Erica replied.

"I have no need to be 'evolved'. I like how I am."

"You just said you'd rather die, Mr. Jameson."

"I just...I meant that-"

"Mr. Jameson, you know what you said. Don't take back your word and don't lie to me."

"I don't want to become an entity that could endanger the lives of others."

"Mr. Jameson, we can go back and forth with this as much as you want. But all I can tell you is you will not be a danger. The problem Mr. Jameson, is that you don't know how the galaxy works now."

"Enlighten me." Alan bit out.

"The galaxy has given human beings many great things. It has given us answers but in the process, it has given us new questions..."

(Erica was now circling around Alan. The camera follows as Alan keeps focusing on her.)

"After me and Private Scarlett made a breakthrough in solving the mystery of two certain students, there was something about the area we were currently in that made me question myself 'What could have done all this? Who were the ones with such ingenuity?' Jo didn't know what I was also trying to do. I was trying to ascertain the identities about the creatures and their creator."

"I'm not following..."

"A lot has happened since you've been frozen. Creatures of the kind me and Jo encountered have been found on a few occasions. The company is in complete disarray with their lack of a suitable specimen."

"Why are you keeping me updated knowing what you're going to do with me?"

"I want you to be aware of everything that has happened because you will not be subjected to such an experiment for nothing. This...is very special. After all...you no longer have nothing to lose."

"Something tells me what you're about to do is wrong. Very wrong."

"This is an evolution of the human condition."

"You're an android! Do not lecture me on humanity!" Alan yelled.

"You are in a great emotional state, Mr. Jameson. I can assure you that after the experiment, your feelings will no longer cloud your judgment."

Suddenly rattling noises that sounded like chains were bound to Alan's wrists. The camera turned from one wrist to another. His feet were also bound to the ground. The restraints were not chains but something a lot more natural and yet durable. The camera pointed forward to Erica again.

"I will stop you." Alan growled.

"Do not speak as if I'm your enemy, Mr. Jameson. I am here to help you get through with the process." Erica then began to walk away from the circular platform.

"If Jo was alive..." Alan's voice indicated a bit sadness as well as an indication that what he will say is considered a last ditch effort. "Do you really believe this is what she would want you do? Subject me to such an experiment that may or may not be what you think it is?"

"Private Jo Scarlett was a friend of mine. She helped me understand that humans were capable of great, many things. If she were here, she would be at my side encouraging this."

"You really believe that?" Alan asked incredulously.

(On the camera, all Erica could do was give a firm expression as if she were trying to make up her mind about something.)

"Evelyn, please stand ready for him." she said before she got off the platform completely.

(Camera turned to the right where who was standing with the others came forward.)

As Evelyn finally came forward until they were face to face. Erica's voice was heard in the background.

"Evelyn and Mr. Alan Jameson...when the company found me and Jo Scarlett unconscious and put us in a laboratory, something extraordinary happened. I knew it had to be impossible since my kind cannot procreate. But it did nonetheless. Life emerged from within me. A creature with both the defining attributes of human and robot merged together. After it was born, the Company had it captured and studied but because of its unique abilities, the scientists were eventually subdued and killed. The creature escaped and somehow managed to access an escape pod where it went off to the planet we came from."

Alan was starting to listen intently now.

"The company had gone back on numerous occasions to contain again. But they have failed. All their efforts in capturing the creature was useless. So they sent me, I was the mother. I was the only one capable of controlling my 'son', if you will.-"

PM 07:34:45

(Camera focuses on the very ground that Alan stood in minutes ago. There was heavy breathing coming from both him and the other woman, Evelyn.)

"It is done." Evelyn replied.

"Why are you doing this?" (Camera stayed focused on the ground and at the same time shook from left and right to further emphasize Alan's frustration at what had just happened.)

"I have my reasons. We all gave a bit of our lives for this. We will help create a new race together."

"We...?"

"We're mates now..."
