Each step I took into the mud I became more nervous and felt how my excitement and adrenaline faded away. The android's presence felt unbearble as they walked behind me. It started to sink in for me what I became involved with and how I was betraying the whole human race. 

A violation like mine would be sentence me to rot in outer space if I were to stand in trial for my crimes. But at what point was it to be loyal to a race who turned their back to me and would not blink an eye if I were to rot slowly away in front of them? I shielded my eyes from the sunlight the hours we walked through the forest brought us to a sunrise. The different path I took was longer than I thought. We had to be careful and not be seen by anybody and walking through a deep forest was the best solution I could find. It started to dawn upon me that this was in fact taking place and not in a vivid dream of mine.

 I grew more nervous when my house came closer to the view and my sudden changed emotions caught the android Bortums attention. I could its gaze on the back of my head whenever my nerves would spike through. I pondered how I would hide the androids from my grandma. The garage was still the best option I had for now. Halfway through the small path leading to my house I realized why the androids were skeptical of me did they think I did not have the guts to go through the agreement? The thought that they could be skeptical of me made me uneasy because that meant that they were capable of betraying me without showing any signs of it. 

'' Is Bortums your given name.'' I asked the android out of the blue that simple question bugged me out since the minute it adressed itself to me. 

'' My name Bortums was seared inside the walls of my head a data I could detected when I came into existence from a silver vessel in a form of a container.'' The android Bortums said with enough information that made my thoughts blurt out. 

'' Then that means there is a population of your species and possibly a planet. '' I said soon as the android finished it words. The only answer I was given was a glance I could not read. I was curious that there could be thousands more of them because of the intelligence the had. I was not a fool to believe there was only three of them. 

The android Bortums with quick movements reached its arm out stopping me from colliding in the garage. Its reflexes were quicker than my eyes could detect and the force it used was oddly gentle and not harsh as my body prepared itself as I protected myself. I expected that the android's hard solid silver metal arm would have left a bruise or a hole in my head. Pushing the android's arm away I reached for the small button that opened the garage but I was quickly stopped by the brutal force used by the android that ripped garage door open. The vigorous strength left me speechless and hard for me to swallow the lump that formed in my throat. 

Was the android showing its true power when I wore a displeased expression of how gentle the android force used in the beginning? Or was it the fact I carelessly pushed the android's arm away. Whatever the case was it created another problem the garage had no value to us anymore. It had large holes inside it and I angrily faced the reckless android and questioned the reason for its behavior. 

'' Are you out of your mind? You could have injuried me when that metal chunck flew my way.'' I waved my arms frantically in the air when I was speaking to show the android how serious this matter was and it would not be taken lightly be me. 

'' You dare to toss and fling my arm as if it were a insubstantial object.'' Said the android Bortums with a voice that had hidden threats in it. 

I was baffled by how offended the android was but grew frustrated when the other two androids shifted their attention to me. 

'' You lack a sense of commonality if you believe that your replaceable arm is more valuable than my life and wellbeing.'' I responded back in order to show I was not going to allow any harm come up to me. No matter how much the android tried to frighten me into submission I would not budge. 

'' Replaceable? Not a living thing in this planet or artificial could surpass me'' The android questioned me knowing how rare its existence was to humans and most importantly to me. 

The android, Bortums point of view

The scrawny creature challenged my authority in front of my companions. The creature's unhinged emotions picked at my analyzer. Everytime it felt an uneasy emotion or its heart skipped a beat I was informed a vibration on the analyzer on my arm. 

On the planet Resoria Z9 half of the population did not have any self awareness they roamed the planet with nothing to show for expect their light shade of gray. The darker the shade a android had the more intelligence did they possesed. Roaming in the planet for centuries I could not find anyone with the darkest shade of green like mine or the urges to have authority over another one. But once I stumbled onto something that changed my belifes I found some pieces of me within my two companions Talus and Ekvtron. 

When I was born on the planet it spoke to me from the ground raising me into the ideologies I have today and when curiosity devoured me I asked the people of planet Resoria Z9 if they could hear a voice as well. When it was informed to me that the voice belonged to Martums a name similar to mine I dug through the metal ground and sank deeper into the planet until I reached the core. What I came face to face with left a mark in my head that I could not shake off. Martums chest was wide open and the cables that sprouted out from his chest were conncected with the plant's core. 

The belief of that my planet was alive and had a awareness like mine was destroyed in mere seconds. The body of Martums grew rotten with iron and only tiny spots of dark green were visible. Iron meant a weakness and those weakness were immediately wiped of if anyone detected it. That betrayal gave me a new sense of authority a one of over a planet. I had no longer interested in taking Martums place for his body was weak from the planet draining his life resources and power. 

The ignorance Martums believed that he was draining the planet by the simple profit he made to speak through the ground was worthless as only one of them gleamed with pure silver and the other one stained with iron. Martums was too connected with the planet as his cables were covered in a hard iron that did not budge as I tried to free him but he was longe gone a prison to the planet. Once I crawled back to the surface I was reborn and learnt from the ignorant mistakes Martums made. I gathered a large amount of my people to motivate to seek something far valuable than this planet can offer but only two of them were driven with power to follow. 

Sharing a small amount of the power I would take by a planet was something I could tolerate. It would benefit me when the iron would somehow caught up with my body. The iron could not devour me as it did to Martums if the iron would grow on them as well. It would slow the process and time would be on my side. 

The two androids I approved of had an armour of the darkest shade of blue but my full body armour still dominated in strength and intelligence. Had I walked upon a android with a pitch black armour I would not hesitate to eliminate it because of the deranged belief it carried to kill the androids with lower intelligence. The android Ekvtron informed me it would only take action when we would take over the planet and it would have its self awareness lowered as much it could leaving its mental capacity like a haze. The android Talus would act with enough force it pleased with and would not lower its self awareness wanting to be alert. 

Once we landed on the planet earth and onto the pit my analyzer went frantic with different data and the human's brain frequencies was the data the analyzer improved in and gave me a upperhand. The moment I saw that the small creature longed for artificial creature it became clear to me how I could connect with the planet.
