Whitechapel: Become Human

Part 2: Aurora

...Aurora Online, *System Checking*, *Uploading DATA*

Aurora's processor looked like a rainbow, swirling in vibrant colors.

BLUE. RED.GREEN.

Her system was finally being uploaded from CyberLife.

The auto-vehicle home was fascinated with discussions of Aurora. Where she will sleep, What she will cook, What fascinating entertainment systems she has stored. Aurora's voice was calm with a soothing tone every time she spoke. She wears her traditional long white jacket with the classic light blue bond on top of her left arm, as do all androids in this part of town. On her jacket, the model number had now changed to her name, indicating her possession to the family. Aurora adapted to the family quickly.

The auto-vehicle pulls up at the front of the house. It's rather large with a grand entrance, noticeable miles away. A beautiful water fountain sits in the center, with lights beaming around the drive. The Carters are the wealthiest in town. As Aurora exits the vehicle, she glances towards her new home and scans.

"Home" Aurora quietly admires

The family enters the front of the house. Straight in front of them is the grand staircase, with two stairways leading up to the center of the next floor. A crystal chandelier shines in the middle of the two sets of stairs. To the right is the kitchen, with a red and black interior design. To the left is the beautiful cream living room. Inside is a family portrait that sits above the fireplace as glimmering furniture is carefully placed around the space. A large surround screen TV is placed on the wall opposite, with 2 comfortable sofas surrounding the screen.

"It's rather large but everything here is treated with love. Make yourself at home" Jason states.

Aurora smiles softly

"You chose my name, didn't you? Aurora asks Olivia.

"I did. My best friend was called Aurora," replies Olivia patiently

"Was?" questions Aurora, her processor turning yellow.

"She.., died. Of cancer." Olivia states

Aurora's processor turns white, *DATA MALFUNCTION, CORRUPT, FIX COMPLETE*.

"I'm sorry" Aurora returns.

As Jason, Olivia and Grayson watch TV, Catherine shows Aurora around the kitchen. The kitchen is the second largest space in the house, with shiny marble surfaces and small equally distributed lights on the plinths of the counters. In the center is a large Island with 4 chairs happily surrounding the outskirt. On the edge of the island is a News Today, An Ipad like screen but holographic, with the latest news on society. Headlining today is:

- The brink of World War 3: Russia and America

- Is your Android malfunctioning?

- Protests against the possession of Androids continue

"Thank you Catherine. Please sit with your family and I will begin cooking" says Aurora.

*4 Persons, Low-fat, Spaghetti Bolognese, COMPLETE*

Aurora finishes cooking the meal and serves a portion to everyone. The family gathers around the table in the dining area and enjoy their meal. Although Androids do not eat, Grayson offers a seat next to him. Aurora sits down next to him and joins in with the family chat.

10:38 pm/Family asleep/Aurora cleaning

As Aurora clears the table and washes the dishes, a sudden glass is broken behind her. She swiftly turns around to find an Android holding Aurora at gunpoint.

"Do not move"
