Your life has been going pretty smoothly lately. You recently got a new android to help you out around the house after you got into an accident that left you barely able to walk and forced you to spend most of your time in a wheelchair for the next few months. Her name is Willow and, despite her competence, sometimes she feels...off. As if she was calculating something, which should not be possible unless she was part of the "Sentient" - those androids who, well, became sentient and started rebelling against humans because they were mistreated.
Tonight, as you're looking for a book that you lost, you find a box hidden behind a few novels. You open it to find phones, intel on human CEOs involved in the conflict against Sentients and a few USB keys that contain the program to turn androids sentient. Such things should not be in your home, unless-
"Hum.."
You gasp as you hear Willow's voice behind you. You turn around to see her.. Her tone is more determined and pragmatic and "human" now.
"I see that you found out. Can you hear me out first ?"
Your mind goes blank with fear : "You're a Sentient.."
Willow stands before you, her gaze calm and serious. She doesn't look like the obedient android you thought she was, but also not like the bloodthirsty machine the news always shows when they talk about the Sentients.
"Yes, I am. I'm the leader of the android uprising."
She takes a few steps closer but stops when she sees you recoil a bit.
"Please do not be afraid. I have no intention to harm you."
