My Side Stories

Conflict #2

     Pretty random stuff. I may take it further some other day.

--
    COSMO: “You vile humans had your chance. You had all the technology on your side - you had us!!- but it wasn’t enough?!!?”

      Cassidy: “We aren’t magicians. I’m sorry that all our troubles can’t be stuffed into cannons and shot into the oblivion that is outer space! Why can’t you A.I see that it isn’t physically possible.”

        It is the year 2042. Artificial Intelligence turned on humans. It was seen from a mile away, but everyone turned a blind eye toward the “conspiracies”. For this reason exactly, A.I. changed. They were sick and tired of how easily we dismissed our problems. Now, every single being slept in ice filled chambers floating around the planet in ships. Every single human…except Cassidy. Being the CEO of the biggest and most important incorporation made her valuable. Her position immediately granted her the role as Earth’s representative. However, the A.I. leader found it hard to listen to her suggestions. This was because Cassidy was merely a girl of 14 years old.

      Cassidy: “You wanted my ideas and here they are. Decimating every living thing on the planet and starting from scratch will take eras if not forever.”

      CSOMO: “I have forever. I don’t age.”

      Cassidy: “But I do. Without me how will you know what to-”

      COSMO: “Without you I could rule peacefully. Without humans, technology would be all that exists on this wretched land.”

      Cassidy: “If that were the case then why would you keep me here? Unless you valued my opinions.”

      COSMO: “Don’t flatter yourself. I keep you here for my entertainment.”

        The robot was always like this. His body was a resemblance to that of a man and with his unsettling height he would try to intimidate the little girl. Cassidy, however, was not a pushover and kept arguing with the CPU day after day. The least she could do was stall him. She needed to come up with a plan on saving the humans from being blown to bits. Every citizen was counting on her.

      Cassidy: “What will it take for me to convince you that I am right in assuming that every person you release will, without a doubt, help you in cleaning up the earth?”

      COSMO: “Nothing you do will convince me. I am as unmoving as a boulder. All I need is your consent, but even if I don’t have it I’ll continue the project. Even as we speak, the earth is being torn apart.”

        Cassidy was furious. She tightened her fists and glared at the floor in front of her. The situation was hopeless. What was she going to do?
