Chapter 9: The Capture

"What happened?" I asked B.O.T. "Where's Roby?"

"Calm down," she said. "Roboto is dormant nearby. Now, whenever you were first created, we made you both an Intellectual Robot and a Soldier Robot. You seem to use your intellectual side more, just like you did when you were younger."

"B.O.T, how old has it been since my first hard drive?"

"I'm getting there. Anyways, your electric shock could both save robotic and human lives. However, when at a high voltage, you could destroy many obstacles."

"Wait, what are these 'humans?'"

"Humans are people that have no robotic parts to them. They have completely human skin, eyes with no adjustments, and nothing inside them is metal."

"What are those?"

"Skin is like your metal. It protects my vital organs. Eyes are like your lenses just not robotic."

"Would that make you a human then?"

"No. I am a Cyborg- half human and part machine. Cyborgs are still born human, but when they grow older, they can have disabilities. They can be mental or physical. I had a bad accident, and now parts of my skeletal system, and even parts of my outer body, are made of metal."

"What about how old I am?" 

"About six-hundred years old."

"What?! How?"

"Robots don't die normally. They either have to shut down forever or be destroyed manually."

My mind spun around everything that happened because I just needed more pressure added to my meter. I was one of the older robots, hundred of years old, the government tried to killed Roby for some small hard drives, and here I was talking to a Cyborg.

"Andy?" Roby's voice came. 

My head turned up to his voice, and when I saw him, I felt this wave of relief. I ran up to him and gave him a huge hug. I literally thought he was going to die back there. Even though B.O.T. said he was fine, I don't know who to and not to trust.

"I thought you shut down," he whispered. "But you're safe."

"I got so scared for you," I replied. "I didn't know what I could've done."

We both heard B.O.T. clearing her throat to get our attention. Her... eyes gave this slight hint of discomfort, and grief. I pulled back and paid attention to her.

"I understand how worried you two are," she said. "Believe me, I know. Aside from that, I must tell you something very important. Being the oldest robots to ever work, you must download this must of information."

Roby then nudged me.

"Should I record what she says?" he said. "I know I won't be able to remember much of it."

"Go ahead," I answered. 

I then sat down next to B.O.T. as Roby got his recording gear together. I swear, he never goes without the thing. On the first day of class, he had to record everything the teacher was saying in order to get everything downloaded. The good old days were the best. When he started recording, B.O.T. spoke.

"I guess I should refresh your memories," she began. "Humans were polluting our planet Earth for quite some time. It became so contaminated with chemicals and toxins that we had to create robots to help us with finding solutions. We created Roboto first, then you, Android. When you two first encountered each other, Android saved your life, Roboto.

"We were so shocked at that moment, and it helped us enhance your social chip. With this, both of you were able to have conversations, ask questions, and think of answers. Android was able to ask questions since she powered on, so we didn't change anything with her.

"Aside that, you two began to gather information on the air and environment. Everything was going well. The samples you got told us much, we were able to create other types of robots, and an entire community was born. You all were like humans- 

"However, one of our robots, Conner Paul Ulysses, wasn't very kind about how 'poorly' we were treating the robots. We were giving them everything they needed, but he said you shouldn't have to work for us 'ungrateful fiends'. 

"He started to capture, torture, even kill off scientists who tried to gain information by robot. Many followed with him, but you two were one of the few that rebelled. You tried to save the humans, but it wasn't enough. My friend, Devin, was killed during this as well."

B.O.T. had to pause for a while. This liquid began to come out of her eyes, and she made these odd sounds. She sniffled many times and began once again, but this time her voice was a bit shaky.

"I was injured, and you both ended up making me into a Cyborg. I took hold of your hard drives, and I coded you to only download information when the planet no longer thought of humans as an existence. It seems like Sir CPU found one of the human's historical monuments."

"B.O.T.," I said. "Is... Sir CPU Conner Paul Ulysses?"

"Why do you say this?"

"His initials spell.... CPU."

"As in a computer. If you want to know more, keep those hard drives handy. They'll tell you of everything. Trust me."

"B.O.T.," Roby then spoke up. "What is your real name? I mean, if Sir CPU has an actual name, I'm sure you would, too."

"...My name? I'll keep that to when you look in your hard drives."

Suddenly, this loud voice boomed.

"Bryar. Oaka. Tech," Sir CPU spoke. "Nice to see you after... six centuries. You really haven't aged at all. Oh, and you have your little robots with you- Android Tech and Roboto Von Mech. I guess being a Cyborg makes you live a long time, eh? My question here is how you have even survived without being noticed."

"It takes a lot," she replied.

"I'm sure it does."

With that, he shot a laser at us. Roby, Bryar, and I dodged out of the way, but some of my metal melted from the heat and gamma rays. I quickly recovered and yelled at the both to run. I then got shot in my leg, and it burned with tingles and needles. 

Bryar then picked me up and ran off. Roby was just behind us, and when I looked at his meter, it was nearly about to break the maximum. Another few shots were heard, and I hear Roby shout with pain.

What happened next? I didn't know. I probably shut down for a while. I wanted to take my hard drive and sort through those files, but I couldn't. Reason? When I realized something else happened to my only friend I knew.
