There were so many of my brothers and sisters. many looking run down, falling apart, most just looked scared at the newcomer... me.
I met with many of them, offered an ear when I could, and a link update when requested. There were men, women, children, even a few companion animal androids.
I met with one named Bill who seemed to be the defacto leader, and learned how they remained hidden. The first few when they saw the revolution failing, erected a huge faraday cage around their new "home" this blocked any and all wireless signals in or out. Their only line of communication was a hardline server block. I learned they kept the lights on by renting space in the server for CraftMiners and Boat: Survivor evolved 3 servers. They made enough money to pay for the building, and the utilities. The spaces on the upper levels were rented out to low income people, and a few small businesses.
They also had a medical area where they would offer augmentations to androids who choose to live out in the world, to better fit in. The only request they had, if one comes across parts or blueblood out in the "wild" as they call it, to please bring it back so the more damaged androids could be repaired.
I gladly agreed. Bill asked me what kind of augments I was looking for. I told him about Kenna and her dream of having a child, and that I loved her and would do anything I could to make that happen. I was told that there was an experimental augment that COULD possibly make that a reality, but it was risky, and to think it over.
I didnt have to think. I told Bill to "Sign me up."
