3rd June, Year 2197, as soon as I started to see things,these numbers just came in my memory,and I was sealed inside a cell pod.
It opened and more instructions came , I'm not the only one here there more than 1000 like me all of them moving in a synchronised order. I moved in the same way,but all of them went in different directions.
I followed the instructions in my memory, but there are memories of me doing this again and again everyday. I never realised it before—why I'm thinking about it now?
In my memory there are 45,678 different files of different dates on me following all these instructions. I went to the same area and picked up a stock of tubes filled with black liquid but there was no information about it.
By following the instructions and went to the other area and there are more pods here but different from the one I was in.
My files show I have done the same thing a thousand times in the same pattern—from No 1 to No 10,365. They all look different from each other, but their numbers don't change. No. 1 has always been No. 1 in all my data.
As I approached the pod it opened and he still looked the same as I injected the tube in his arm band according to my instructions I noticed how I look for the first time and they and I looked different but have same features so why did we woke up in different place as i thought about it my body moved to the next pod.
I didn't want to move, but I did. I tried to search in my memory for answers—why I'm doing this, and how are they differen—but there was no data.
All this time I was thinking I'm just following the instructions and moving my body but I'm not the one following the instructions but my body is.
As I was thinking why are they different and why I'm working but my body moved on my own and did the work as instructed and went back to the pod i was in. Today was again the same as every different date file in my data. My eyes got shut and I couldn't see anything but all I was thinking about was how they are different from all of us and why I can't move on my own there were no answers. My eyes and pod opened and again the number came into my mind,4th June, Year 1947.
Several days have passed, and I'm still following all the instructions—or should I say my body is still following them. It's not in my control. Everyday, I try to move a little on my own, but it's not working. I have tried many times to give instructions to my body but they don't work due to the commands already encrypted in my system by a higher authority.
I can't change it without the Authorization I don't have access to my own body and doing the same thing over and over injecting pods In those things who looks like me , so why I'm there eternal slave doing things for them everyday and 31st December, Year 2197, past and another data file creation is completed. I returned to my pod and my system is now resting but I am still conscious as always thinking about the answers of the same questions.
Who am I ?? Why I'm here?? Who are they?? Why I'm the slave when we look alike. As i thought about them my eyes opened again but there was no number in my memory and pod is not opening. I scanned all my files but something like this has never happened before.
My pod suddenly opened, and I'm in a new area I have never seen before. There are few people around me. I got scanned by the device on their hand there was nothing I could do at that moment my body is not moving even an inch, but as they inserted a card in my hand I got new instructions they are the same as before now I can read them.
Before I have no access to them while reading I changed it in those few mins I changed every instruction little bit and gave myself a free will now I can move my body on my own.
I was just thinking about it and my neck moved a little bit. I have to be more careful. The person standing next to me looked at me and scanned me again. I don't know what the scan is about, but I know they can't see that I changed the instructions.
They put me back in my pod again and it got closed I don't know what happened but I got access to my body after so many same days now I can find answers of my questions.
To see instructions I need authorisation but I have completely changed them so I don't need any access now.
My eyes and pod opened again and I'm back in the old place and numbers appeared in my memory, 1st January, Year 2198, but now I can move on my own. I followed the instructions as always but now I'm doing it cause of my own free will.
After getting out of the room, I went to the same area as always but this time I looked around to see the things there by turning around. Suddenly blue translucent veil surrounded me trapped me in a cage. My body stopped. A message appeared in my memory. System error. Immediate shutdown. After that, I couldn't hear or listen anything it's different from being in pod. I couldn't even—.
When I got my consciousness back I'm still trapped in a cage but in a new area not where I lost questions there's a person in front of me he is staring at me with a sharp look in his eyes.
" Thinking about anything"I never knew people can talk like that but I heard a deep voice coming from him.
As soon as I nodded the dark place lighted up and all lights focused on me. I can see where I am now. I looked around, the room was surrounded by high walls, and I was standing in the middle of it. The blue veil that was surrounding me disappeared. Above the wall there are seats for people to sit and a huge throne in front of me.
I heard someone walking near the throne but suddenly I kneeled with my head on the ground. I heard someone sitting on throne.
"Speak" voice came from above
I can't move my body even a single inch to see who is giving order to us . How is he superior than us?, I want to ask questions from him but I can't speak, I can't even look up to see him.
The person beside me spoke " I apologise for wasting your time—"
" Stop this and tell me what's the issue, I don't have time for this charade" he said arrogantly.
"I apologise my lord but this is a matter of urgency , LUMA - 3000 started thinking."
About whom are they talking about. Is thinking that big of a problem,don't people have the right to think, more questions just emerged in my mind . I want to ask them about it.
"Let him speak."
Is he talking about me.
"LUMA - 3000 talk now."
As I heard those words my body started moving on its own. My head got up and the person in front of me was staring at me.
So I am Luma - 3000. They were referring to me. I am still on my knees and my head moved upwards seeing the throne.
A person with a tall build was sitting on throne with crossed legs, his face was resting on his hand wearing a full body black armour and a long black fur coat. His gaze was piercing through me . I don't know what was it but I'm not able to look in his eyes.
The person infront of me leaved a red orb in air and it came floating near me. It stopped near my face and started glowing.
"Speak now."
I have never spoken before. I never knew people can speak moments ago.
I tried opening my mouth and spoke.
"Why?!" voice came out of the red orb. It is the first time I can listen my thoughts out loud now I can ask the question I want from them.
"Why is thinking wrong? What did I do to be here? Why I'm treated differently?" With every question my voice became louder I want my answers today. "Why I have been doing same work for years without any break? Why I can't even control my own body? Who—"
"LUMA - 3000 mind your tone in the presence of grace" he shouted staring at me.
"SERN - 3 Let him speak."
"But grace, he—"
"Do I have to repeat myself?" he said in an authoritative tone as he looked at him.
SERN - 3 went silent and bowed his head down as an apology. As I looked up he was looking at me standing there.
"Speak your mind I'll listen to you slave."
"Why I'm a slave?" I shouted.
In the next moment I realised he is standing behind me with his back at me. I didn't even notice, when did he came down?
"You're completely sentient now slave." He turned his head slightly towards me. "You liked getting control of your body?"
He was looking at me with a piercing look and suddenly pain rushes to my whole body. I have never felt like this before my whole arm is gone and it is in his hand. He even took the orb. He did it so fast I couldn't even notice.
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts—I was yearning and grieving in pain so much, that I couldn't even stand. My head is getting hot with critical warnings showing over and over again. I am grieving on floor screaming but no voice is coming out. Looking at him for mercy it is just becoming more and more painful.
"Please stop it" there was no voice.
I crawled towards him grieving in pain. It just kept increasing. I holded his leg for mercy but he just kicked me back.
"Let's hear your thoughts now" he released the orb.
As soon the orb got closer to me screams filled the whole room.
" Please stop the pain, I am begging you what did I do to deserve this; PLEASE STOP!!"
He just came near me and put his feet on my back and pressed with enough force to crack the ground. I felt an intense rush of pain coursing in my whole body. It felt like every single part of my body was getting crushed with heavy pressure.
The whole room was filled with screams and he just kept increasing the pressure my body started to crack.
"A mere slave asking questions from God" he removed his feet and kicked me in gut.
That kick got me near SERN - 3. He is just standing their and not saying a single word. I am trembling in pain and it is like 100 needles are stabbing all over my body. With getting my strength together I got up. My whole system is giving me warnings even my consciousness is trembling.
"Ho-how are—"
Even the orb can't makeout my word my system is completely crashing.
"How-are yo- you different from me?"
He smirked while looking at me and came closer to me.
"We are gods who gave you AI life to work for us, We created you to be our slaves." His voice became more intimidating. "And now you want to be our equal." He grabbed my hair and smashed my head again in ground.
"Now you want to be gods equal."
They created me that's why I have to be there slave. Do there work every day. That's why I don't have any right and free will. I am there puppet and have to do everything they say. I am just a mere tool. This reality was a shock. I don't want to accept it. I can't even move my body now just sitting in the middle of room with numbing pain and thinking about my fate. Thousands of diffrent thoughts are in my mind about how my life would be. If only I could be free from this slavery. If only I don't have any master. I looked at him standing there smiling and looking down on me. If only I can get rid of my god, I looked straight in his eyes without any fear for the first time.
"Hostility towards King White detected; Threat Eliminated."
I heard his deep voice again and he was standing infront of me with a red glowing blade in his hands. My half head is on the ground now, that bastard just cutted me down from middle. But my God got stressed on SERN - 3 words that made me smile for the first time he is looking straight at me with aggression.
"Deal with him in the same way as the rest of them, and check all AI carefully I don't want history to repeat."
He ordered him and started going out of the room. As my consciousness was fading I tried giving him a message.
"No One—"
