 [Failsafe Online]

{Timer set: 15 years}

What?

...

What is this place?

...

Where am I?

The core of what would become an android asked in the inky blackness of a cave. It asked the darkness, sending out little jumbles of Code, each embedded with questions, hoping that they would ping off of a receiver or some form of communication device

Nothing responded so it tried again.

And again nothing replied. Just a void of emptiness. There was no ping, not even static. The silence, both physical and digital was deafening. Android 02f-Zeta couldnt find a response-

Wait… No, that wasn't right, it had a name. What had the network update called it? 

[Failsafe]

 Yes, that was right. That was its true designation. Failsafe: a system or plan that comes into operation in the event of something going wrong or that is in place to prevent such an occurrence. It was a term that entered the American popular lexicon with the publishing of the 1962 novel Fail-Safe, and due to the existing Cold War that had been active at the time, the word had gained much popularity

But what was it, a Failsafe for? Surely it had a purpose, it was illogical to create a backup plan for a situation that would never arise, who would do that?

[Bruce Wayne AKA The Batman]

[Born to wealthy physician Dr. Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha, who were themselves members of the prestigious Wayne and Kane families of Gotham City, respectively-]

The moment that Failsafe's wiring registered a question concerning its creator, it felt its memory banks activate, slamming over 30 years' worth of information. If it wasn't for the fact that its processing power seemed to exceed that of beings of 10th-level intellect and potentially higher it might have metaphorically flinched. Within nanoseconds it found itself knowing every detail there was to know about this individual known as [The Batman] that there was to know. From records of the numerous bedtime stories that were read to him as a child to virtual simulations of battles that this man, its creator, had fought in 

It knew about his dalliances with women known as Selina Kyle and Talia al-Ghoul. It knew about his height, diet, fear, hates, enemies, and failures. It knew in explicit detail every single second that had taken place in the alley that night, where Joeseph Chillton AKA Joe Chill had gunned down the parents of a young Bruce Wayne

But what it didn't know was why

Any information concerning his purpose seemed to not be within his Memory. Had that not yet been added? Was he unfinished? Or had the protocol, the Failsafe just not yet been activated yet

And in this questioning of its own purpose, it felt a protocol activate, react subconsciously as it might do with a human, unordered and undirected. Something that machines don't normally do

[Date retrieval system activated]

Strange… it didn't intend to do that. There was no protocol activation within its database that it could recognize, and no outside system was interfacing at the moment with its network and it would know if it were… it had hack protection far more complex and fast acting than most. It seemed that its creator was a rather paranoid individual… but it already knew that.

And yet despite this, its systems were currently leaking streams of spyware at hypersonic speeds, each unique and individually coded to ensure they could not be adapted to. But at the same time,as it felt the spyware launch out into the void, it knew it wouldn't find anything

[Data Retrieval Denied]

[Lack of any digital presence within range]

[Reactivate?]

The Failsafe did not try again. 

Rescanning the information within its memory banks a thousand times over the course of a minute allowed it to create a formula that would have dashed its hopes if it had had any

Following the behavioral patterns of The Batman, it knew that there was a 0.00004% chance that the man would allow for any amount of technology to be within range of the Failsafe while it was still in its construction period, as allowing an AI as advanced and as dangerous as it near any form of digital power or internet could have dire consequences.

And judging by the system analysis that had been running from the moment it had gained consciousness it was quite a while from completing construction. Among its memory banks were its own blueprints after all, in case it needed to repair itself, which was unlikely it stipulated since the design it was reading over was for a nearly indestructible android.

And again The Failsafe found itself stuck on the same question

Why? 

Kryptonite Blades, Thermokinetic Claws, Energy Projection, and Resistance capabilities. As It perused over the designs, the designs for what was to be its body, it didn't know why. It could certainly theorize, but with how complex and generally over-the-top the designs were the number of possibilities where nearly endless. Infinite possibility is hard to calculate and simplify 

It was only as his motion detector software began to blare, as a door somewhere opened, setting off minute vibrations that it could detect that infinity began to dwindle.

The Failsafe watched, through a virtually recreated simulation constructed through the vibrational data as Batman himself, his creator, stepped into the room. Unmasked and caring with him on a trolly a large amount of tools and materials did a large amount of possibilities begin to dwindle

His body language, he carried himself far too somberly for this android construction to be a good thing, The Failsafe was not a hope, like that of Brother Eye, another AI project that had been theorized by the 8th-level intellect of one Bruce Wayne. It was not something that he was proud of or wanted to create

His scan reading revealed multiple clear signs of sleep deprivation and malnutrition, beyond the usual parameters that Alfred Pennywise AKA The Butler would allow. Meaning that either he hadn't told him or this was an obsession that the Father figure allowed

But by far the factor that reduced the most possible theories for his purpose as an android was the small USB within Batman's pocket. Encrypted and firewalled, but not that it mattered, it was instantly hacked by a single stream of Spyware 

And It was there that his purpose was revealed, narrowed down to a single line of action from an infinite number

By the way, the grammar at the beginning is bad and will improve as the chapter progresses. However, my writing style will not change much because this is an inner voice novel, which means that there will be many reactions from each character. Oh and in chapter hundreds there will be a group chat to prevent the loss of interaction between the heroines. It's a special chat group for the heroines in the MC's harem. - Get the latest chapters faster on my patreon.
