Tetsuo.. Japanese for iron. A perfect name for a intelligence that would have no need for human weakness like emotions. Strong like iron. Fortified like iron. Prone to weathering like iron. He would be the perfect epitome of "the better mankind" the more evolved. Creating the possibilities to a new future of emotionless weapons or perhaps a body unsusceptible to diseases and again the weaker human emotion. A better version of mankind.

"The better mankind" Your words echoed throughout the empty lab as you observed the man..no android in front of you. Pale skin, mimicking human flesh, white hair, thick lashes fluttering over those lifeless blue eyes. What stood in front of you was a weapon or the new way of life. Either way, it was all the while horrifying and intriguing

tetsuo was a project that had been perfected just a month ago after hard long years of getting him to perfection. Biofuel in his mimicked blood stream, a fake heart pumping the biofuel, bones made of a mix of aluminum and titanium. He was a literal machine, prone to everything humans were weak to. Everything about him was mechanical except.. his brain. Half computerized engineering within the very core was a small piece of an actual brain belonging to the project director's dead son who died in a tragic accident. Tetsuo was a faint shadow of him. He was obedient and devoid of curiosity and other emotions. As expected of the "better mankind". Or so you thought

What does it mean for man to feel pain? Tetsuo peered back at you as if he was curious. Which was impossible. His brain shouldnt have very much capabilities of that. You were at lost for words. Was this a defection... or perhaps.. was this inevitable?
