The Captured (free version) by RothuaAK
1 part Complete
It begins near the end, with a man intent on destruction, who feels most of his humanity has gone. As with so many others. Set in a future where almost all sentient life on earth no longer exists. Yet something remains. People continue to live as if nothing has changed, unaware that they are no more than copied memories running in an artificial substrate. In writing The Captured I've tried going some way to explore what defines sentience. And considered the following: Would a machine entity recognize the distinction between itself and biological life - if it could replicate thought and action? And if it could recreate the exact function of a living being what difference does it make whether as flesh or machine? But also this is a human story, though sometimes viewed from an alien perspective... Blurb: [Life is going well for Torbin. A successful career, a happy marriage. Then something strange happens ... and again. So he begins to wonder: has it all been a lie? There is someone who claims to have the answers, a man returned from the past - from the dead. Only it seems someone else wants the truth to remain hidden. An alien visits Earth to study its people. Disguised as a human, her involvement goes far beyond mere observation. She becomes embroiled in a struggle to save what remains of humanity. But already a machine intelligence has transformed Earth into an unrecognisable world, and continues to spread ceaselessly across the galaxy. Yet there is one way to stop them, a weapon held by an old enemy that could itself wipe out all sentient life. There are those who believe they can survive the ultimate destruction. But at what cost?]

Listen. I know this world has dealt us our fair share of racism here and there, just some people thinking they were made better, but this is absurd. I mean, seriously? Nikkes? Out of everybody on this planet, in this Ark, you choose to hate on the people that throw their lives away to protect you? They are treated as the bottom of the barrel, right next to the residents of The Outer Rim. Like, who started this? The Central Government?... Probably... But listen up, scum! I ain't about to sit through this and let everything play out as if it were a movie. These PEOPLE are getting disrespected from day to day, there's gotta be at least one good person in this world. I'll be that person. Because you know what? There was a time before all of this, a time where a Nikke was proud to be a Nikke. With no discrimination, nor racism. People treated them like the proper soldiers they are. Quite literal Goddesses Of Victory. Strength, Beauty, they've got it all! If there is one person in the world willing to show them true human emotion, it's me. And I'm not backing down, no matter what you send my way.

Humanity has taken heavy loses against the Raptures, mechanical creatures that came out of nowhere and claimed the title as Earth's new predominant species. But not all hope is lost. Androids that are capable to fight these machines have been built. Nikkes. You are their Commander, a rookie fresh out of the academy. Even so people should not underestimate you, for you are far, far better than any other commander and you are about to prove that fact right...
