I woke up a little bit, I was still groggy, I couldn't process everything that was happening. Every time I open and close my eyes, I get to different places. I only see glimpses. First, my eyes were still closed but I can hear glass shattering, then I feel hands on my body, people were carrying me
Then the next thing that I could remember was that, I was being carried by people and they were running through a hall and I kinda see flashing red lights, probably emergency lights and I can also hear some announcements over the speakers about intruders
Then the next thing I know was that the people were carrying me and putting me inside a vehicle or something and I hear gunshots, not just normal shots from pistols, I heard continuous shots similar to an assault rifle. At the time, I assumed that the military is evacuating everyone
Then the effects of the chemicals in the Cryogenization finally wore off and I fully woke up. Four months already passed as I was on Cryogenization and Its already the 8th of November. I was on a bed. It was a cheap metal double-decker. I was in a room with many beds. I assumed I was in an Army camp.
I noticed that I was already wearing clothes, I wore a simple T-shirt and shorts. Nobody was there with me in the room, so I just sat there on my bed but I can definitely people outside the room but I chose to stay. Then after about thirty minutes, a person came inside the room
"Oh, you're awake" The man said with a smile
He was tall, maybe a little more taller than me, He has a thin yet strong looking physique, He doesn't look like he has muscles to flex and brag but he looks like he went through and experienced a lot
He had medium-length brown hair that was tied at the back, He also had a short beard. He had light brown eyes with a dark iris. He was wearing a black and gray hoodie, dark jeans and gray shoes
He was holding a food tray with a salad and a milk box also on his other hand, He was holding a Bag. Then he walked to me and sat down beside me in the bed
"Hello Shawn, my name is Neil Walkman" He said with a smile and then he shakes my hand
"Hi Neil, may I ask why I am here and how did you know me?" I asked Neil
"It's going to be long, is that fine with you?" He said
"Yeah sure, I mean, I'm definitely not going anywhere right now" I said
"Well, I'm to answer your second question first, It all started with my Best friend, His name is Franc. He works at an Android Factory in Tokyo Japan, then he called me and told me in June that something weird and unreal happened, His shift was almost finished and he just have to assemble about three more Androids. I assume you already know where this is going" He said
"No, I don't know" I said but at the time I already thought of something
"Well, It was the third to the last Android that he was assembling, It was weird, He noticed something different just the moment that he let the Android look at the mirror, At first he thought he was just normal and and thought that maybe it was a new feature or something in the Seventh Generation of Androids. But then the Android started to question his consciousness and his life, then he knew that something was wrong. He tried to disassemble the Android but the Android pleaded, He felt that it was more than just a malfunction then the thing that made him change his mind was the moment that the Android screamed out that he wants to live. He said he was in left in Awe and shock, that's the moment he felt a true emotion in Android, then He decided to reassemble the Android. After that, he told me the name of the Android was" Neil said
"Shawn..." The both of us said in conjunction
"Also, I saw you in the news, that's when I truly decided to research about you. I work as a CCTV operator at City Hall, so I easily got access to footage to what happened that night. I essentially saw everything." Neil said
"Wow, you really did that?" I said
"Yes, then for the last four months since your Cryogenization, I planned retrieving you from the Military base because I thought that you would be a great example for our propagandas, then I thought of it carefully, devising plans to go in and out of the base" He said
"Thank you, I appreciate all of the things you did" I said
"You're welcome" He said
"But what did you mean by Propagandas?" I said
"Well, I forgot to tell you, but I am very much against Android Cruelty and Abuse, So I found you, I think having you as an example and with all the evidence we have, We can clear your name and we can open the eyes of the people to stop abuse, because I believe that Androids are just like humans too, they can feel and they want to be free and I have seen it with my very own eyes" He said
"How? Do you own Androids?" I said
"Well, I don't consider them as my objects that I own, I am more of a leader and companion for them" He said
"Wait, Leader?" I asked
"Oh yes, I'm sorry, I completely forgot about everything else. We'll you see, you're in an unsuspecting warehouse right now that most of the Androids here call the Android Sanctuary, because I keep Androids here, mostly those who had abusive owners or those who are being chased by the government" He said
"That's amazing, you even risk your self for this" I said
"Well, that's a risk I would take for my passion and belief" He said
"Thank you again, for everything" I said
"Thank you too, for thanking me. Well, enough chit-chat, I have to get back and check on everyone else. Here, you should eat also, Here is your own bag, It has your own clothes, your toothbrush and toothpaste also your soap and shampoo" He said then he handed me the food tray and the bag
Then Neil left me alone in the room. I drunk my milk and I wondered what is this all about. I left my tray for awhile in my bed and I went outside the room. Then I saw plenty of Androids, maybe about fifty to sixty of them downstairs, all eating. Then I realized, "This is Serious".
