2039

I made it back to the factory and was currently making my way to our head leaders room to tell him about the event that had happened an hour ago. Pushing past the doors I spotted Connor sitting at his chair looking over the current report group 1 had created. It was required that each group that had gone out come back with a report on what they saw and what materials they had gathered during the day.

"Pardon my intrusion Connor, but I have come to make a report" I looked the they brown haired man who was now looking at me "I was out hunting for food and on my way back I had run into a passing car. Now whether or not it is a threat remains unknown" I had walked to the front of his desk waiting for a reply.

"I see, well your group is going out tonorrow so I will assign you to search and find any more information on the matter. Did you happen to see a face by any chance?" Connor had inquired looking to me "all I was able to see was a bearded man with ear length hair, nothing more."

Connor looked to his desk and sighed "I see, well make sure you can find the guy tomorrow or atleast find evidence, but do not engage if you come in contact" he had looked back to me and smiled, I turned to leave already accomplishing what I came to do.

"Thank you for the report Andrea" Connor called out to me as I left the room all I could do was smile. It was currently 9:30 and everybody was in their designated rooms, I was the only one that had to sleep. One of the many joys of being an android, no eating, no sleeping and no needing to go to the bathroom.

Don't even get me started on the androids that are women, they are absolutly blessed not having to deal with mother natures monthly visits.

I had made it back to my room it was small in size but it was enough for me. On the right side was my bed and on the left was a desk with a few books and my journal. My journal I write the days events and what I had felt during the day, It helps me gather myself. I plopped on my bed ready for rest.

"Oh jeez today was a long day" I drifted off to sleep dreaming of nothing but darkness.

Sleeping was sometimes a haven but other nights it was like a mini hell. I guess November 11th had more of an affect on me than I originally thought. I guess some bad has to come out of the good. Balance right? Anyways tonight was like a haven, nothing but darkness.

Sleeping through the night was peaceful for the most part but come the next day it was an abrupt start. I had woken up around 4:48 am to get everything I needed for the day. Today was the day I would go out with group 2 and explore Detroit, but I would also keep a lookout for any evidence of the passerby from last night. The backpack I had was filled with a waterbottle, hat, gloves, rope, hatchet and a compass. I also made sure to pack a first aid kit as it would come in handy for me but also others if we ran into trouble. Markus had made us promise not to carry guns because if we were unfortunate to run into soldiers we would probably be tempted to use the weapon. I loved him for that but there also comes a time where you may need to use a gun especially if the situation endangers their lives. Nontheless I obeyed the promise and didn't carry a gun.

By the time i had gathered everything and got dressed and ate the rabbit from yesterday it was currently 5:26am everyone normally didn't come out until 5:30 so I had a few extra minutes to relax. It was short lived though when Connor came into the main room.

"Goodmorning, I see you're up early" Connor looked to me smiling, he was still dressed in his Cyberlife uniform which was still weird but I didn't mind.

"Morning Connor" I replied standing up from the couch. I walked over to Connor "how was your night?" I asked looking over to him.

"It was fine, nothing exuberant happened" He turned to me "how was your night andrea?"

"It was alright I slept well" I walked away from him feeling slightly uncomfortable with him staring at me. Given he is a devient and can feel emotions the way he acts is still robotic. I find it funny how he can't destinguish between sarcasm and reality or whether someone is telling a joke. He is slowly coming to understand though and it was nice.

It was now 5:30 and people of my group were coming into the room. Finally free from the awkward situation I had to announce the days strategy.

"Can I get your attention please!" I stood up on a crate that was near the front entrance "today we have been assigned to keep a look out for a vehicle, it was seen last night driving through our vicinity" everyone was now usher words to eachother wonderinf who it may be. "I saw the vehicle last night and it was not an army truck but whoever it may be still holds a threat to our location so please be advised to take caution" with the final words they all agreeded and we moved on out into the city.

Today was a chill day so I word my hat and gloves that I had. The sky itself was shining clear from the storm before it, not a cloud in sight. It was really wonderful. The trees and broken builings now had snow on them with little icicles hanging from various points, each shining creating stars during the day.

Our group was about 10 kilometers from the factory, we had seen a park that had a subway passage. I believe the park was called Rouge Park it was a nice place, my family would always go there in the spring watch the duck and feed them some bread but that was long ago. Now the only thing the park has is wood, surrounding shops and that subway passage. Our hope was to find some electrical parts to get some heat within the factory rather than starting fires.

It was a quiet morning none of the androids wanted to talk, it was strange because all of them were vocal people. Maybe its just because its the morning and their systems are still warming up from the lack of use over night.

"We should be getting close now guys" I called to the rest of the group. They all looked to me with excitement in their eyes. "I remember I used to work as a conductor for one of the railways, I could help with the directions" an android added on to my left."

"Awesome, come up here and help us out." We were now at the park and it looks like it has been untouched by the previous bombings. There were trees and benches all covered in white glistening snow. In the distance you could see the subway entrance.

"Comeone guys lets go and lets make it quick!" We all marched forward. I looked around and I saw the play ground that I would always go to with my parents and with my friends in the early years of my life. It was the beginning of the production of androids and people were skeptic about the whole ordeal, but I was to nieve to understand. I believe they came out with the android that was the perfect child, thats from what I could tell from my parents stories.

2024

I was running around the playground with my mom and dad it was my 4th birthday party but since I was homeschooled I didn't have any friends.

"Mommy, can you come with me to the slide!" I giggled playfully and ran to the red slide.

"Of course honey, anything for you" my mom came after me while my dad laughed in the background.

2027

I was now 7 years old I was at the park with my mom while my father was at school. For my age I was intellegent my father and mother had teached me very well, especially since I had a renound tutor. At that age I was making friends but no one ever wanted to be friends with me they would call me a freak.

"Freak,freak, look at the freak"

I never understood why but my mom and dad always told me to never pay attention to the other kids.

2032

As I grew if felt like the next 5 years were a blur. Mom and dad became anxious and worried, but every time I asked they always reassured me that it was nothing and I went with it.

I still went to the park and that day the park patrols decided that it would be a good idea to add a piano. I saw the grand intrument and wanted to play it, my emotions were haywire that day. I walked up to the piano and pressed down on a note. I had no experiencen, but a man came by and showed me how to play a couple of songs.

"Well, your a fast learner. I bet one day you'll become an amazing pianist"

Everyday after that I would meet the guy for lessons but oneday he stopped showing up. I didn't know what happened to him.

Later the next year the press had begun to talk about the increase of errors with the androids. They said that it was errors in the software due to them being new.

2039

"Andrea are you coming" the android called to me.

"Yeah I'm coming, sorry just got caught up in some memories" I ran to the group and we all entred the subway entrance.

Hey guys! Thanks so much for ready I hope you enjoy the story. I have a lot planned for the future!
