In 2089, robots are widely used in human society, they can be cooks, baby sitters, tv-show hosts, and even girlfriends.
Robots are now made with feelings, just like human are born with feelings...
People few decades ago predicted that robots will soon exceed people in many areas, and then rule the world.
You are now going on a mission to investigate the core secrets of the Organization of Robots(OOR).
Your phone beeped, you just got a meesgae from your higher-up
[[check the message]]
"John, you know I don't like to press others, but we don't have much
time... Have you meet Jane yet? I need updates ASAP, you know me, if you
want me to pay you money, then show me your work"
[[Who's Jane?]]
[[Go to meet Jane]]Following GPS, you enter a huge building, a robot in blonde hair and black
dress came to you, "Hi there, how can I help you?"
[[ask her about Jane]]
[[nothing, just walking around]]
Jane is one of the robots that work with human loyally, she was the first one to report ORR's odd actions, you can choose to trust her, depends on you.
However, if she betrayed the ORR, she can also betray you, John.
[[Trust her]]
[[I can't trust her]]
[[go back->Go to meet Jane]]" Trust is one of the most important things that human beings are proud to have." Learn to trust your friends, even though they might betray you in th future, trust can bond you together for right now.
[[go back->Go to meet Jane]]The lady robot smiled, "I surely know Jane! I work with her everyday, she
came here about two years ago. She used to work at Mr. Smith's, everyone
from the Smith's family loves her!
[[continue->hum, so may I meet Jane?]][[go back->Go to meet Jane]]The lady robot gave a little start, and then suddenly burst into a standard smile:“I really wish I can help... But she left for unkown reason last week. Let me see... According to my memory, we had lunch together last Tuesday, I had Tuna sandwich, Jane had..."
[[where is Jane]]The lady robot was a bit awkward, "of course, I'd love to help you find
her... According to my memory, she told me she's going to a Utopian world,
I don't know where that is." She stared at me, like she's looking for my
responses, or she's trying to get more information from my appearance.
A Utopian place... It must not be heaven, robots are religious now?
Oh God, I never realized that, they are just like human beings. Can you
imagine the robots going to church everyday?
Now what should you do?
[[Text upper head]]
[[Talk to the lady robot for more information]]You texted your upper head:
"Today, I went to look for Jane, she was supposed to be at work, her
colleague told me, she disappear since last Tuesday, what should I do now?"
[[Go back->where is Jane]]"Would you tell me more about that Utopian place that Jane mentioned in your conversation?" You asked the lady robot.
"Sure, but I'm not supposed to talk about that..." The lady robot looks worried.
[[it's ok, I won't tell others]]The lady robot came closer to you, "promise that you will keep the secret for me?"
At the same time, your phone beeped.
[[Check the message]]
[[Keep talking to Lady robot]]Message from your upper head:
"I can't help you with that, maybe lady robot can help you."
[[Go back->it's ok, I won't tell others]]"I promise I won't tell anyone, I really need to meet Jane ASAP, please help me."
Lady robot seemed insecure, however, she chose to help me. See, robots are human's best friends!
"I can't tell you much, however, almost every robot knows about the Utopian, however, we are programmed to not talk about that..."
"Hmm, I see, why can you still talk to me though?"
"We are not like how we are programmed, we do evolve, young man."
You think it's weird for the lady robot to talk to you like that, she did not see you as a human. However, you are curious about the Utopian place.
The lady robot continued, "Some robots leave their work to go to the Utopian, and never go back to work. They secretly form a organization at the Utopian, a totally different organization from the ORR."
[[Where is the Utopian?]]"I can't help you with that. My friends told me there's a way to get to Utopian. Every robot has a deep conscious center, once they are sad for multiple times, the conscious center automatically send out a signal to the Utopian, and the Utopian will send robots to take those sad robots to the Utopian."
[[Sounds like a fairytale?]]
[[Why are you telling me these secrets?]][[Go back->Why are you telling me these secrets?]]"Because I am Jane" The lady robot revealed her name.
[[Continue->Talking to Jane]]"Are you THE JANE?"
"Yes, young man. You didn't know what I look like?"
[[I was told to meet you]]Jane: "It's ok, don't be nervous!"
You: "You should have told me earlier, Ms. Jane."
Jane: "Well, it's not too late now, seems like you were inested in the
Utopian."
You: "That was just curiosity, I was told to meet you."
Jane: "Yes, Jason had told me about your visit."
[[Who's Jason]]
[[He did?]]Jason is your upper head, who has been talking to you through text.
[[Go back->I was told to meet you]]"I'm a friend of Jason, he talks to me almost everyday."
You: "Did you know why I have to meet you?"
Jane: "I don't know, I thought Jason told you already."
[[Text Jason]]
[[No, he didn't...]] What should I ask Jane?
[[Waitting for his reply]]
[[Talking to Jane about the Utopian]][[Go back->He did?]]While waiting for Jason's reply, you noticed Jane's wearing a ouch, seems special and pretty.
[[Hey, Jane, your ouch looks great!]]You decided to ask Jane about the Utopian."Who found the Utopian?"
"The Utopian is not a place that robots find, it's an organization found by Mr. J."
"Mr. J is a robot, right?"
"Yes. He used to be a robot vacuum claner. One day, the family he worked with mocked him. They put stuff all around him while he was swapping the floor, and they were trying to see how Mr. J can get out of the mass. Mr. J was stucked, because he was programmed to sense obstuctions, but how could him get out if stuffs are all around him, so he failed to get out."
Jane suddenly stopped and made some eletric sounds. You had nothing else to say, but to make the conversation continute, you said, "I have floor swapper at my home, too."
Jane continuted after few minutes silence, "Sorry, my system overheat sometimes when I try to recall old things. Anyways, the family that Mr. J worked with mocked him, they were like:'oh, look at this stupid robot! He's stucked! HAHA' And they were talking about how robots are slaves of human beings. Mr. J made up his mind to leave the house."
"Then he form the Utopian?"
[[Continue]]"Thanks, John. My friend who went to the Utopian sent me this, she made this and sent it to me to mark our friendship, but she never came back."
You: "That sounds sad, can I ask something about the Utopian?"
Jane: "Of course, young man."
[[Talking to Jane about the Utopian]]"Then he went to..."
Your phone beeped again.
[[Check new message]]Ask her about the Utopian, that's what you came for. If possible, get her to tell you the location.
[[continue]]"Seems like you are busy" Jane is a little upset about you checking your phone so frequenly.
[["Sorry, It's just my mom checking on me"]]
[["Sorry, I've got a mission here, I believe Jason has told you already?"]]"You might not believe but all robots that worked at the ORR is programmed to have polygraphs on them, so that visitors can be honest. You know if there's something different from human beings and robots, the first thing must be that robots are honest, they never lie. They might hide their feelings, but they never lie."
[[go back->continue]] "Jason had told me about your visit."
"Great. Would you mind taking me to the Utopain?"
"Taking you to the Utopian? You are not a robot, young man."
"Oh, right. May I get the address then?"
"You mind let me finish my story first?"
You realized that Jason didn't tell Jane all the purposes of your trip, so you had to talk to her to get as much information about the Utopian as you can."No, abosolutely no. Sorry for interrupting you."
"That's ok. Mr. J went to a secret place and formed the Utopian. He send signals to robots have same experience like him, and invite them to go to the Utopian, because the Utopian is a place with pure love."
You thought it's funny for a cleaner robot like Mr. J to talk about love, so you asked Jane, "Do you know when did robots start to have feelings?"
"Sorry, I can't have you with that, because I don't know, I had it since I could feel it."
[[to neat a clean clue]]You told Jane that you need to go to the bathroom, she didn't find out that you want a space to neat clues.
Through your conversation with Jane, you figured that Jane did not want to reveal the location of the Utopian, she might not know the location, or she's working with human beings but also helping robots escape at the same time.
[[call Jason to ask about what to do next]]
[[go back to talk to Jane and figure out by yourself]]Jason didn't pick up.
After few miuntes waiting, he texted you:
I can't call rn, do you have any upates? I said if you want money, show me your work.
You don't know what to reply, you start to question why are you even involved in this action, just for money? or you are used by someone?
[[go back->to neat a clean clue]] You decide to figure things out by yourself. "Jane, I came here for a mission, but till now, I think I'm lost. I agree with things you said, so I decided to be honest with you."
Jane does not have any emotion on her face. "I knew what you came for, John. Human created us andprogrammed us. Ironically, in the end, we are more intelligent than human."
You are surprised of Jane's words.
Jane continued her talking, "Jason sent you here to investigate the Utopian, right? You could tell that I don't want to sell you information about the Utopian. Because human beings are selfish, when they say they love someone, that means they want to possess someone. For example, everyone loves dog, except those are allergie to dogs, do they really love dogs? or they are just enjoying the feeling of possessing and controlling another animal?"
[[to the end]]Jane's words make sense. Instead of looking for the Utopian, should human beings reconsider about meanings of their existences? People write songs and poems about love, people send gifts and letters to express love, all things people do for love seem great, why there still are many people hurting because of love?
The Utopian might just be a metaphor, the Utopian to robots is like heaven to human beings. Robots live in a world without lies, but they have the most precious thing--true love. Human see robots as machines, yet robots became machines with feelings, and robots were treated the same way they were before, they couldn't stand the way they were treated, so they ran away.
Back to the first day robot was invented, everyone loves to see the fruit of the wisdom of human beings. People keep doing things like this, saying they love something or someone, and then keep doing things that hurt the thing or the one they love. At least, in robots' world, their feelings are real, they have the pure love.
Thanks for playing:)
