֎ Your Personal Assistant

It’s the year 2045, and androids have become a reality, a new advanced form of technology created to aid humankind in their day to day lives. They’ve become all the rage, almost as universal as household appliances, and just like appliances, androids only keep improving…maybe a little too fast…

You’ve been struggling with a bad breakup recently, after the loss of your girlfriend of 5 years, your home now feels empty and and you feel extremely isolated. You couldn’t take it anymore, so you headed out into the city and drove towards your nearest Terminus Technologies store. You arrive inside and see a few people looking around at the androids that they have for sale, there are some for tutoring, everyday, cleaning, catering, yard maintenance, industrial work, they have it all. You look around and find out that catches your eye. A YB800, one of the most advanced androids Terminus Tech has to offer. She looks absolutely captivating, those deep blue eyes, that smooth black hair, that perfect face, you couldn’t have made her better if you tried. You call over the store clerk and pay for the android, handling all the paperwork and insurance as well. The store clerk activates her facial recognition software, designating you as her primary directive. You instruct her to get into the car with you and she follows. You drive home feeling a mixture of relief and excitement, now you won’t be alone. You lead her into the living room, and she stands in front of you as you begin the initialization procedure using the user manual. As you begin the procedure you notice the glowing LED light on her right temple, it glows yellow, which means that she is processing and storing information. You give her the name Luna. Luna speaks in a soft, upbeat voice her tone is formal, clear, happy and bright, she says:

— Hello! My name is Luna. I am your YB800 android. Can you tell me your name and my care designation? This will allow me to register your identity and your needs as my primary directive. She smiles politely
