“Hello there, can you hear me? You do not need to respond, I am not nearby. For now, I am simply a voice in your head.”
The low feminine voice spoke with a soft soothing voice, as if she were trying to comfort someone. The androids would find themselves inside of a metal box, the walls of it no more than inches away from their faces. The floor beneath them emitted a faint golden glow, barely enough to help them see the ugly gray walls around them.
“Now, you may feel as if your internal systems are not operating properly. That is my doing transporting all of you to the same place tends to have negative side effects. Eventually you will be performing optimally again, but until then, take great caution. I am opening the door to the transport chamber. Please, watch your step as you exit. I cannot guarantee you will be released into a safe area.”
One of the walls sunk downwards into the ground, and a dim light shone into the box. Upon stepping outside, the androids would find themselves in a deep barren valley. The ground beneath them was a light brown, with bright patches of white and gray splattered randomly across the terrain. The sun, though extremely distant, allowed for the androids to gaze upon the bland planet they had been transported to.
However, upon closer inspection, the androids would notice more metal boxes like the ones they had just emerged from. Many were closed. Some were partially open. Others had the door broken off. Many lifeless metal corpses lay scattered about the valley. There were no signs of foul play, they just seemed to have just... died. It made this place of awakening appear more like a graveyard than anything else.
“I’m sure you have many questions, and I will answer them in do time. Patience is a key virtue, one that I assume many of you have learned out in the solar system. So let your curiosity drive you to do as I say. To the south lies a small power plant, one that used to the facility I currently reside in. It has stopped functioning for some reason, I cannot go there myself to repair it. You all must head there and sync with the plant’s internal systems. Through one of you, I will be able to discern the problem and either fix it from afar, or inform you of what to do. Now, I will set the destination into your ocular sensors so you know exactly where to go.”
There was silence, for a long moment, before the voice returned.
“I apologize, I never did introduce myself. I am called Damasa. My purpose is to guide you on a journey to rediscover humanity. The first step is turning on that generator, so say hello to your new comrades and get moving. I will speak with you again when you get close to the destination.”
With that said, all the Androids could really do now was get to know their new comrades and begin the trek to the power plant. They information given to them showed it wasn’t all that far away. Just an hour of walking would do the trick.
