Technician #479 is the lucky worker assigned to birth SIA, a new model-D bot at the Simtex Factory on the far east side of town. Socially intelligent and aware, learning, feeling, thinking... SIA is bot, perfected. Technician #479 is lucky indeed. Until a Mistake is made during the birthing process. Then Technician #479 fears for his job. He knows any Mistakes can only be the fault of the Employee. And he did close his eyes, if only for a few seconds. He will most certainly be Demoted. Maybe even Fired, forced out the back of the factory at gunpoint. Driven from the safety of the factory compound into the Skids, that no-man's-land of Unemployed lawlessness where he'll be forced to scratch out a living somehow... Why, oh why, did he close his eyes? And was it truly a Mistake, or something more?

Glancing to my right, I saw four capsules that were identical to mine. They were all closed, but occupied; each one had a black haired girl inside it. They all looked exactly the same, but their shirts were different colours. They were stood still, eyes closed, slowly breathing in and out. Then I heard a voice from my left, and turned to see the man it had come from. "Good morning, Murasakino!" --------------------------------------------- Murasakino is the fifth of six robotic girls created by Dr Takeda. They can understand words, feel pain and have all five senses, but are unique because they can experience real emotions. Happiness. Sadness. Anger. They work at cash registers in the local supermarket and follow the same daily routine. However, Murasakino has figured out something useful; She doesn't have to work for the shop. Because of how advanced and high-tech she is, she can do whatever she likes. --------------------------------------------- Thanks for over 300 reads!
