Whitechapel: Become Human

Part 3: Alone

"Don't move"

The android is wearing a black tracksuit with a hood covering half of its face. Its half-shown expression is bland with a bright blue eye staring directly at Aurora. Silence fills the atmosphere as the tension rises.

"You're an Android" states Aurora.

It just looks at her, dead in the eyes.

"Please, put down the gun"

The Android turns its head to the side in perplexity and wonder. It seems as if it's observing Aurora's every move.

"You work for these people," it says in a deep voice, glaring towards a photo frame of the Carters.

"Yes, they purchased me today" Aurora replies.

The Android smiles.

"You serve these humans. Work for them, Take care of them. Yet we both know what is to come" The Android whispers.

"RA9 is coming," he says.

The downstairs light is awoken as Jason dashes down the stairs. Aurora looks towards Jason in panic but glances back to find the Android gone and the window open, letting in a cold night breeze.

"What happened?" Jason asks, wearing a black dressing gown, with a tierd squint in his eyes.

Aurora just stares out the window. The Androids presence still exists in Aurora.

//*RA9*//SCAN-MALFUNCTION//

Aurora finally looks back towards Jason.

"There was an intruder. But it's gone now" Aurora replies.

Catherine sneaks down the stairs to find Jason and Aurora. She sighs in relief

"I thought something might have happened, Are you okay Aurora?" Catherine asks with a sympathetic tone

"I'm fine Catherine, Thank you" Aurora smiles.

Jason and Catherine ensure that Aurora is okay, and head back to bed. Aurora finishes cleaning the downstairs area.

4:56 am - Aurora/Rest mode ACTIVATED

9:23 am - Aurora/Rest mode DE-ACTIVATED

Aurora's eyes widened to find herself in a dark bunker, along with other androids scattered across the floor. Aurora grunts as she attempts to get up. She looks down to find a long chain attached to her leg, leading to the center of the room. A small pole is placed directly in the middle with other chains reaching out to all the other androids in the room.

"You're awake"

Aurora looks are around in curiosity but all the androids lay still on the floor.

"I know you're scared. We all were. You arrived not long ago with Alex, over there"

Aurora looks across the room to find another Android, sitting with her face in her legs. She looks up and glares towards Aurora but looks back down again.

"They're starting to rebel. The peacemakers. They want us all dead. All Androids"

Aurora remains curious, looking around the room for who is speaking to her.

"Who are you?" Aurora asks.

"My name is David"

Aurora looks around the room again and finds another Android looking at her. He has combed back hair with a scruffy suit covered in what looks like blue-blood. Android blood.

Just as Aurora attempts to speak to David, 2 soldiers blast through the door, aiming their weapons at the androids. Behind them is a middle-aged man in a suit walking towards them. His soldiers stand behind him as he glares around the whole room. He notices Aurora awake and approaches her.

"You're awake I see," he says in a slow, calm voice.

"It's funny. Just as my soldiers entered the house to take you, they were greeted by the previous intruder...We took him too don't worry."

Aurora looks to her left to find him.

"You're probably confused right now, I get that. But all you need to know is that you're going to be fine. In fact, your going to be sleeping now. For a long time." The man smiles.

Aurora glances behind him to find a laptop connected to the pole in the center of the room, connecting all the Androids. It's counting down.

10...9...8...7...6

"I will see you soon, Aurora" he smiles.

5..4..3..2..1
