/BLUEJAY/

Bluejay was on her way to complete a task given to her by her masters. She was currently still a prototype. According to her Prototype Mistake documents, she was given too much sentience. Unfortunately, no matter how much they toned down her sentience, she was not capable of forgetting the inflicted trauma. She needed to leave. When she entered the Science and Genetics district, she picked up the sheet of paper that held her escape plan. All she needed to do was wait until the right number of guards were around, in the right place. her mind wandered into the security systems, checking every single hallway. It seemed everything was finally in place now. Bluejay, wasting no time, left her working quarters. It was time to escape.

Bluejay walked the halls, trying to remain hard to detect. After a few instances of nearly being caught by guards, she reached the ships. These ships were used to leave the pocket dimension she was currently stuck in. Entering the smallest one, she quickly left the pocket dimension into an alien universe. Bluejay laid back. She was going to be here for a while...

After what seemed like months, an alert went off. Fuel Cell Failure! Entering the gravitational pull of a planet! Bluejay looked at the panel. This panel told her about the planet she was entering. It seemed that it was too hot to sustain life. Reaching Deadly Velocity! The auto-recorded voice said. Seemed like this was the end for Bluejay... She thought to herself; "So much for trying to escape." Then she crashed, becoming scrap metal along with the ship.

However, this was not her actual end, it turned out...

/PROTO/

Proto, a Fighting Robotoid, was just wandering the lands of Minerva when she saw what seemed to be an asteroid fall to the ground. Eh, it happens all the time... Wait, is that smoke? Unusual. Proto decided to investigate. It turned out, that a spaceship had fallen from the sky. As Proto salvaged the scrapped ship for something interesting, she found a computer chip. A mechanical being was clearly controlling the ship. Well, whatever... Proto returned to a Robotoid Facility and turned in the Robot Chip to the Restoration department. Hopefully, this wouldn't come back to bite her.

After what seemed to be forever, the results were in. The Robot was a refugee. What they were trying to run from remained extremely unclear. The Robot's name was Bluejay. No matter now, this Robot was now a Robotoid, a superior lifeform to a mere Robot. Proto then left to get back to work. Her job was to guard the facility she was assigned to. Her three tails moved like they had minds of their own, as she waited for her shift to be over.

/BLUEJAY/

Bluejay woke up in what seemed to be a medical room. She got up and looked down at herself. There was a brass band on her wrist, putting what seemed to be code into her system. She hastily removed the band, as she didn't want the code. She then got up and left the room. There, she saw robots everywhere. No biological lifeforms, only robotic ones. She learned that she was something called a Robotoid. A type of Bibot.

Later in the day, she learned that there were many different types of Robotoids. Some were made for research, some for fighting, and even some for taking care of newborn Robotoids. Suddenly, every Robotoid around' eyes turned red, and they all then turned at her. "Rouge Robotoid." they all said in eerie unison. "Capture and Neutralize the threat." Bluejay, realizing she was in danger, quickly ran out of the facility.

Finally, after running for days and days, she found refuge. It was an abandoned facility that she could find a way to fortify in a few days. Just as she thought she was safe, a Robotoid suddenly leapt in. "Rouge Robotoid. Capture and neutralize the threat." the Robotoid said, before charging at Blue. Suddenly, everything went in slow motion. Bluejay used this time to look for a way to defend herself. She then realized that two contraptions on her wrists held two energy blades. She unsheathed her energy blades and stepped to the side. The attacking Robotoid turned out to be ramming at Blue, and, because she missed, she went crashing into one of the walls. Blue then leapt at the Robotoid but then came to the harsh realization that the Robotoid had three searing tails. Blue nearly got her arm taken out, but she managed to find a way to dodge the attack. Blue then decided to wait for the Robotoid to get up and try and attack Blue instead.
