?? POV

My creation – more like a son - you'll will soon make 17 years. As far as I have known you’resafe and sound on society. I’m sorry for having to leave you at the orphanage when you were just
made and see you grow from far away. But it was fundamental for your growth as an individual...
And also, for you to get classified as a citizen with all the papers, of course. They took you for an
11 year old and I was just 17.
Why didn’t I just adopt you as soon as possible? Well, even though I care for these androids- no,
my children -I have no mental capability to be a father.

Nowadays not many humans wander “what would happen when AI would start to develop
feelings and start to care for humans and other lifeforms?”. I, say that they would not be machines
anymore but a more advanced being descended from us. And that they could be the new humans.
The new generation of technological evolution.

All of my older projects were either destroyed or deactivated for numerous reasons. 747YN-S2
and 704N-S1 had to return to the base to help me recover from a parent’s death and they have
been my company since then. They look so human but I can no longer send them out. If you look
up for Joan and Talyn Myers you'll mostly find news about the story of two orphans siblings that
were presumed dead after a plane crash in mid-Atlantic cross. They were the only ones gone
missing, all of the other travellers and pilots came out with no grave harm done… except for some
PTSDs but everything has a cost, no?

Oh, please forgive me. I didn't introduce myself. I'm Thomas Sanders, a seemly vulgar person.
However, I'm an inventor, programmer but only known for my love of acting and performing. I
keep my other hobby as a secret from everyone, except my children. Logan Lawson, the fifth ofthe Sanders-line, I'm sorry for letting you know this way that you're not human, at least not yet. I
gave you access to your own code (however it can only be seen through another system.
WARNING: AVOID VIRUSES! You may have anti-virus and multiple firewalls but you're not
indestructible. That's why you have a brand-new computer, made up for all your needs), you also
will have access to Multilanguage writing, understanding and speaking (Beware of now having
knowledge that you didn't have), you have access to the internet with no limits (WARNING:
Virus, once more), a med-kit either for you or for your friends installed on the zone of your
abdomen. You also have a set of weapons that you can check it up later. You are sun and water
(the one that you drink) powered and your battery is very strong enough to handle of almost a year
without charge. You're very resistant to water, however if your surface gets really damaged the
probability of creating rust is high.

If you have any doubts that your files and logs can't answer
contact me. You'll know how to do so.

I'm so proud of you, Logan.
With love,
Thomas Sanders.
