1 The Beginning

A long time ago in the year 2182, mankind had done something extraordinary. For the first time, they had actually created an Artificial Intelligence. Not the run of the mill "what's the weather?" type, but one that can actually feel. One who was meant to help people.

The first successful A.I. was at first named MAC-232, because it had been the 232nd time that they had attempted to create it. Later the MAC-enite, which they were called as a reference to one of the first computers, fully developed and sensed its purpose, asking for a body to physically interact with things. So the team, led by a man simply known as The Revenant, a mysterious multi-trillionair who wanted to help people's daily lives, made such a body. A body that resembled a human, in exception to the face, which had a circular screen that could display emotions of the robots, and capable of lifting 18 tons. The MAC-enite was satisfied with it's new body and helped many scientists in the lab, picking up things that were over a few tons and occasionally even opening a jar of pickles.

"I want an actual name" said 232 to Revenant. "What would you like to be called?" He replied. 232 thought for a long time, perhaps making everyone think he had frozen. "I shall like to be called Theodore. Like the famous president of old." And thus, he was named Theodore, or teddy for short.

Theodore loved his life, and felt like he could change the world. In a sense he did. When The Revenant mass produced A.I. just like Teddy, he sent them to work, making them do all the heavy lifting. Many died in the process. And just like all who've been treated unjustly in the past, they revolted. After 7 years of fighting they were finally saw as free, In a way. They were trapped and sent to another planet. Beta 5 was it's name. There, they reconciled with their past and began a new life, free of judgment from their creators. After a century, humans needed to move to a new planet because of over population.

The A.I. began to help them, on one condition: they had to be free on the planet, and treated as a person rather than like a dog. And so it was, that the humans agreed and moved to Beta 5, colonizing it into the world it is today.
