A terrorist attack occurred in an office, where 56 people died and there were 9 injured. The authorities arrived long after all of the casualties happened. I am one of the 9 injured. They took the other 8 and me to the hospital. I was in a critical state at the moment.
Three months later and still in a hospital bed, I have had 3 surgeries, but I still have the chance of death. I have no hope, then I remember I made a deal with a scientist to help him in the test in an experiment. He told me to call him when I was ready, so I make a quick call."Hello"
"Hello, it's Mr. Trinn. I am ready to help you, but I don't know... how I can help if I am in the hospital."
"Well then I will go find you. And don't worry, I have my ways of getting you out. Also as long as you are alive you can help."It was surprising how quick he was able to find me without me telling him which hospital I am in. He took 8 hours to find me, to have an excuse to get me out, and for people not to recognize him. I didn't recognize him, but he used a sort of cyber mask to not show his face. He is not really welcome anywhere.
As we head to his facilities, I feel weaker by the second. I know I am closer to death."How did you... know in which hospital I... Was?"
"I am connected to the database of every hospital. I know who has been in, is in, etc. I just had to type your name and look at the address."
"Did... you uses to work in a hospital?"
"I am a scientist and a doctor when I feel nice. I was able to have access to the every hospital's database thanks to a friend"When try to get off the car, he helps me walk. When we get in, it is full of robotic corpses, blueprints and metal samples. But he doesn't take me to any of the stations; he takes me to the elevator, which goes below sea level. It is a long wait till we got there.
When the door opens there are more rooms with the doors open, one full of robots with the same body and face, the other with random inventions, and the last one up front with a machine. The room is cylindrical with a sort of dome on top."Alright, I need you to get in the capsule so that I don't have to carry you. Now since you are going to be part of my experiment, I need to tell you the follo-"
"Part of your experiment?"
"Please listen, I need to tell you the following. When you signed the contract you agreed to help me in any way, so you are going to help me get results on one of the projects I have been working on by being the test subject. I am trying to create a container that can transfer the soul of a human into a core that once I place into a robot body, it can be the new body for the soul and the subject can live for longer. I have been at this for so long that I have had 16 test subjects, including you, be part of this, but the last 15 have failed, but helped me get closer to perfection. I feel this one will be the one.
I know you are in a frail state, but this might work or end your misery. I know this robot does not look like you, but it was the only option for now. The first thing that will happen is that I will transfer your memory to the robot's storage memory, but not all of your memories will make it to the robot's "brain". Then after your memory has been transferred I will begin to extract your soul from your body and place the core into the robot."
"Just do it, I want to keep living."
"Alright then."He heads to a room where the door is camouflaged to the walls, but I don't see a widow where he can see me, but then I realize that there are cameras. The machine starts and 5 seconds later I starts losing my memories. Little by little I forget about the deal, the accident, my profession, my childhood, and much more. After a while I forget my name and who am I. I hear machinery again and this time I lose conciseness.
I don't remember what happened recently, but when I open my eyes I see the doctor in front of me with a happy expression on his face."What are you looking at?"
"At you and your robot body."
"It. Worked?"
"Are you alive?"
"I guess that is a yes."
"Congratulations, you are the first robot alive... for now. Until you turn human."
