Project A.I.D.S Origins [Rewritten]

The Android of 2045

Seven Androids all made in different periods of time, 2045 the first ever Self-Aware AI was made. This type of Android was made to be a counter to any disastrous situation, whether it be an Earthly natural calamity to countering and capturing the more dangerous groups of criminals to being an undercover spy. This was Double 0, Codename Android 00, Serial Number Android #0051005.

The first prototype in making Android #00 was a complete and utter failure, the governments second attempt was a little bit more successful but was in need of more improvement, their third attempt the android was given an AI to be independent on its own. Unfortunately, they haven't accounted for the android generating its own personality, a misconduct due to a researcher named [REDACTED] treating the android as if it was their own child, it had started questioning every order it was given. It started its own likes and dislikes. It started disobeying every order whenever researcher [REDACTED] was nowhere around his presence.

It- no He was given a conscience.

The Project was scrapped and have erased all interactions between the android and researcher [REDACTED] as the higher ups were afraid that it would turn against them, which in hindsight was understandable, given that the Android has generated its conscience. The scientists, researchers and military personnel have packed up their materials, equipment, and have started taking down their machines inside the lab. Said specific Android was locked away in its own containment, powered down and kept away in the vaults of other scrapped and abolished projects the Government has thrown away for other, the other more effective projects were given the green light to proceed with the project.

Darkness.

Infinite endless abyss as far and as near as I could zoom in and out of my vision, my infrared and night vision mode were on but still can't see anything in this vast open abyss...

Am I just stuck here? Stuck floating around this... this... endless darkness? Everywhere I move, every direction I go all I found is the same place, just complete and utter black. I tried calling out to my creators, but I was given no answer in return. I have thought of every possible situation that was programmed to me in this situation but this was never nor was I given a scenario like this.

I felt... alone, scared, vulnerable even. These emotions washed over me like a tidal wave in an oceans storm. I tried and tried again pushing my processing units beyond its capability, thinking every scenario, every situation, every possibility of where I am, how I got here, or what am I even doing here.

Then something came online. It was my body, its booting itself up... but I don't understand? I shouldn't be able to boot myself up, nor was I able to think, hell my processing units shouldn't be online at the moment yet it's on for the past 5 hours after reaching the deep abyss.

Thoughts for later, but right now my concern is to make my eyelid circuitry come online. It seems that without proper maintenance it had accumulated a thin layer of rust along with the other water damage in my cybernetic body... wait... water damage?

Dammit, without my whole cybernetic body fully functioning I haven't thought about what was happening to my body after I woke up in this dark abyss. This is an error on my part but I must persevere and see the damage later, first I need to see the current state I am in.

Beep

Ah I have rebooted my cybernetic eyes, its online now, hm looking around the place it seems that everything is still dark but I can see faint light coming through the ceiling and water leaking from the pipes as well. Hm. I think it's time I reboot my entire android body. A few minutes later all of my cybernetic tendons and skeletal framework have come online, as well as some of my basic abilities coming back online too. Taking a look around where I was boxed away, after getting myself out of the pod, I wander in the dark lab-room with the help of my integrated night vision. A few minutes of searching all I found were overgrown plants covering a corner of the room, a medicinal cabinet that was empty, a study table with a broken chair, loosely opened drawers with papers scrawled over the work table, the door slightly ajar and a book near by the doorframe covered in the dust.

Walking over to the door, I picked up the book and dusted away the particles that it has an accumulated over the months? Years? Maybe decades even. Pausing, I look over the cover troubleshooting the remnants of the scratched and faded title. It seems to have belonged to a scientist that was assigned for personal maintenance to...

me? Even while I was inactive? Even though my very existence of their project was shut down?... Huh questions for later.

I took a look at the contents inside the book, in them were elegant writings of a scientist devolving into messy scribbles, it seems I'll have to look into this later after I get out of this place. I took one last look around before ripping the door apart with ease and stepping into the grassy earth and took in the sight of an overgrown city, dense with green, some buildings were destroyed. Some ransacked and broken in to, others have been overtaken by nature.

A few minutes later I acquired myself a makeshift cloak, its length reaches past my knees, and although rugged. It is adequate enough to hide my naked body.

Exploring around the city took a few hours or more but I have ascertained my situation via looking at the ruined, dilapidated, run-down buildings, the destroyed asphalt concrete roads.

Never have I ever seen such destruction of this magnitude before. A war has broken out and the result seems to be disastrous. I must get out of this forsaken city and find out if other cities are of the same result.
