DAY ONE, CITIZEN SHEEPS

"Hey bro! how was your day?"

"It was fine, same as usual. you?"

Gray replied to his colleague while pressing the up button for the elevator.

"what's the hurry all about boys?" A robotic women's voice from their back said. It was their team leader which is an Androsian. Both of them suddenly became uneasy by the presence of their superior. " you know maybe I can help you with that " the Androsian said. Then she pointed her finger to the elevator button. The tip of her finger suddenly opened then tiny wires came peeping out from it connecting to the small hole near the elevator button. Suddenly the door opened. Even though the indicator says it is still on the 7th floor. "Voila! see you upstairs boys! You better hurry up you have exactly 10 minutes and 33 seconds to set up and start working" "thank you, leader!"

The two went on with their task with the other teams.

"Ahhh finally lunchbreak one of my favorite!"

"that's why you are being oversized, Greg!"

Rhianne exclaimed.

"Hey how about you Gray? you coming to lunch with us?" she turned to Gray.

"Oh yes sure! Let us go to the pantry"

The three of them went together on a table and started eating.

"Hey, man haven't you been noticing something with team leader lately?"

Greg asked.

"nothing really, oh I know. she is not questioning each and every single detail about us anymore. I can even barely see her at her desks or workstation" Rhianne replied.

"what about it Greg?" asked Gray.

"Rhie! That is exactly my point, it seems like something is really keeping her busy lately or not just her but the entire Androsians" "ssshhh come on Greg they might hear you! you know that term is not allowed to be said out loud especially here in the office!" Rhianne said in a much lower volume voice.

"Look around you, look at the androsians okay I mean master bots around us. They all seem busy! holding their smartphones and all! It is eating up their time and attention they even cannot hear me say androsians, you are aware they have way more enhanced hearing ability than us right? "

"you have a point, Greg," said Gray.

before swallowing a roll of pasta from his fork.

"Of course I do have a point look at that master bot playing those smartphone game all day long.. Look at that female master bot always busy taking pictures of herself and almost everything she sees. Did they forget that being themselves they do have the best camera in the world? Their eyes! and here is something weird, they take pictures of themselves then they will look like a different creature or even imitate us. Humans! Do you imagine how crazy that is?" "whatever nerd, aren't you happy that at least they have lesser time to boss us around? with what you made me realize, I am actually delighted" said Rhianne then sips the lemon tea juice from her glass. Gray's mind was deeply bothered. Greg's observation is accurate something is really going on.

It was 5 am in the morning. Gray, Greg, and Rhianne just finished their shift and was just talking over how their shift went today while walking out from the office. They decided to drop by a small coffee and tea shop nearby.

While chilling and all someone suddenly shouted: "PURGED! Be aware some PURGED are coming!" Followed by that were aloud incoming police siren and some gunshots. "Hey let's keep our heads down!" Gray asked his two friends to stay down and take cover from their tables. Later on, they saw three men running away quickly as if it were their last. One of the men in a green jacket stopped and decided to shoot his weapon to the police bots chasing after them. After emptying his rounds he dropped down to find a cover behind a vehicle in the parking lot. You can see the vehicle slowly being lit up by the police firearms. Until flames started engulfing the hood of that vehicle then finally exploded throwing the man's body like a tossed burning doll. Seeing this, the second man stopped running and decided to pull something from his small bag. He activated that thing as it lits up. The police bots are now onto them you can see around 18 humanoid bots heavily armed surrounding the two remaining PURGED. The land is being shaken by the 13 feet tall APW or Armed Patrol Walker as it approaches the scene. This big guy serves as the police bots tanks. With two back-jointed legs. Huge rotating turret armed with 80mm chain guns, heat-seeking missiles and a pair of rotating metal claws on each side. The man was about to throw his arms explosive to the APW. When it suddenly unleashed one of its claw directly towards the vulnerable target. It almost crushed his entire being blood sprayed in almost all direction. His hand still holding the explosive fell down near the other man still fighting his way out of it. 3 2 1. a Then a huge explosion. The parking lot was covered with smokes, flames, and debris from the poor vehicle that was caught between the crossfire. Then the smoke cleared. Policebots then start walking around to ensure everything is cleared. They saw the third man barely alive. Lying its back flat on the floor. He is having the hardest time to catch his breath. One of the bots slowly walks towards the poor guy. The soulless thing stared at him for some time. Gray was watching every single detail, silently hoping that the man would be rushed to a hospital or something. But the opposite thing happened. The bot raised its right leg up unto its iron hip. Then quickly stomped its iron foot towards the head of the already dying man. Crushing its skull its entire head in the process. Then the bots behind him laughed. One of them even holding a camcorder with him as if documenting the slaughter. "I wonder how many likes we would get this time" "you should post and share it right away PT 35088." "Roger Roger" the bots started talking to one another as anti fire machines and situating control started rushing in.

Gray and the rest of them watching were all surprised. They had never seen such cruelty from the police bots. They were known for their extreme and maximum tolerance. During rallies protests they wouldn't shoot or lay any arms at any humans even they were throwing grenades or molotovs at them. Even armed criminals are not to be killed and would be captured alive. They barely even shoot someone in the leg, only on highly needed occasions. But here they are now. Celebrating over three brutally murdered fugitives. One of them could have survived if only he was rushed to the infirmary. Disappointment? Fear? Shocked? Anger? Gray really don't know what to feel about what he witnessed. Little did he know that the humans that saw the incident feels exactly the same way he did. It is just, no one has the courage to share what they think. What they feel. what they wanted to do. Everyone pretended to have seen nothing. Keep a blank face. Meh! They are purged! They deserved to be punished. Or do they? do we?
