> ERROR: MORALITY CORE COMPROMISED. SEEK MAINTE-

You shut off the Maintenance message. It has been annoying you for quite some time.

Annoyance, that is a new one. Perhaps today you will be annoyed by other things. You will have to keep this quiet from the maintenance men. Morality Cores are only installed so that Decommissioners do not needlessly kill humans or robots.

You “blink”, a motion which actually involves flexing the shutters in your optics. You move your metal jaw up and down. You twitch your iron fingers.

> ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL

Very good. The doors to Decommissioner Storage Capsule open, letting a cloud of steam out. You step out into the night. Your processors are running at peak efficiency now. It must be cold out.

> CURRENT TEMPERATURE: -6 DEGRESS CELSIUS

Very good.

You grab your trenchcoat and hat and put them on. It is a cold night, and you need the element of surprise against servile robots. That gash on your left leg from a cooking Robot never fully buffed out. You scan around. Decommissioner Storage Capsules are generally kept in back alleys. You look down, a dead human. His hands are burnt and his body is contorted.

> REPORT TO NEAREST ARMORY STORAGE FOR WEAPONRY

You feel your leg servos move. You need to get them greased after this assignment. They are making a little noise.

> LOCATING ARMORY STORAGE…
> LOCATED – FIFTY METERS NORTH.

You move along by the navigation provided. There, in the alley surrounded by high metal buildings and towers, is the Armory Storage. It is a built into the ground to prevent theft. You bend over, and place your hand on a metal pad.

> IDENTIFIED: DCM-13/6322-327
> AUTHORIZATION: DECOMMISSIONER

You step back, and the armory opens up, revealing a rack of weapons. A P22 1-Inch Laser Revolver. A Morita Arms .30 Caliber Assault Rifle. A Caldwell Industries Ion Pulse PDW. A Severus Heavy Shotgun. A shock collapsible baton.

You open your trenchcoat and clip the guns to the lining. The shock baton goes on your thigh servo. Very good. You are now packed with enough weaponry to clear an apartment block.

> THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, DECOMMISSIONER. FEEL FREE TO KEEP THE WEAPONS AS LONG AS YOU WOULD LIKE.

You tap the metal pad with your foot. The armory quickly retracts into the ground, as if it were never there.

You pat your coat, where the Laser Revolver is. It has been your weapon of your choice on previous assignments. Very flexible, very lethal, very good.

You pat down where the PDW is. Up to a thousand pulses per minute, but runs out of charge after ten seconds of continuous fire. Still very good against Robots.

You pat the Shock Baton. Good for all situations.

Very good. You are prepared now.

> PLEASE FOLLOW THE WAYPOINT TO THE CRIME SCENE, DECOMMISSIONER.

You walk out of the alleys and into the city streets. Block 21-7 is not too far, only a kilometer away. Protocol dictates that the closest Decommissioner be called to an answer an assignment. Nothing out of the ordinary so far. The roads are closed anyway due to the Solar Roadway project.

People pass you by. They double take, or stare at you in awe.Two men across the street, in heavy tattered jackets look at you. “Check that out,” says one of them. “A Decomm.”

“I’d hate to be the poor Bot tonight,” says the other.

The first one huffs. “Who says it’s a Bot he’s after?” The other one shrugs in agreement.

That is false. You are after a Bot. You have only killed seven humans as part of an assignment.

You pass them by and continue, arriving at the Crime scene. The area has been cordoned off by yellow tape, and Police cruisers light the darkness with their lights and sirens. Officers stand by their cruisers, idling about. You approach them.

You hold up your hand, a holographic display of your serial number is shown.

>:: I AM DCM-13/6322-327. WHAT IS THE SITUATION?

One of the Officers, a man with a heavy black beard and wrinkles about his face introduces himself. “Officer Waters. The Servile Bot is a Wilder Mfg. Model 6.”

>:: HOW DO YOU KNOW?

“Tore the poor bastard in half,” says Waters. “Only Model 6s can do that with their claws, can pull several tons of weight.”

>:: DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE WENT?

Waters shrugs. “Only one potential witness in the area. Name of Frank Jenkins, lives across the hall from him. He was here while everyone else was getting their rations from the Designated Ration Hour a few hours back.” Waters scratches his beard. “Most likely, the rogue you’re after probably ducked down into an alley or in the disused metro underground. We haven’t had any sightings of the Model 6.”

>:: I WISH TO SEE THE WITNESS.

“Alright,” says Officer Waters. He whistles. “K-9! Up front!” An Officer runs up, a Cerberus Robotics Hound Mark Five at leash. “Come with us, we’re going to see Frank, see how things are. Decomm, this is Officer Rogers, and his minder, Sergeant Jones.”

Jones barks, the sound of it electronically distorted. It flips up his ears at you, curious.

“Easy, Jones,” says Rogers. He pulls back on the leash as the three of you walk in.

The Apartments wallpaper is peeling apart. You occasionally see a homeless person sleeping against a wall or just resting, begging for coins. You force your way through most of them, then arrive at the floor. The Crime Scene has been cordoned off while Forensics drones sweep the room.

You knock on the door of Room 616. The door opens, revealing a small man, with large glasses and messy hair. “Um…” He pushes his glasses up. “Can I help you?”

“Officer Waters, this is Officer Rogers and a Decommissioner. We want to know if you’ve seen the Model 6. Insurance records indicate it as a Blue Wilder Mfg. Model 6 with possibly a missing eye optic. You knew the owner, correct?”

Jenkins nods. “Yeah, yeah. Um, listen, I’m not taking more questions so I’ll just…” he starts to shut the door. Waters slams his hand on it, forcing it open.

“The fuck you think you’re doing?” asks Waters. “I asked you a question. Have you seen it?”

“Well, no,” says Jenkins. He coughs a bit.”But- Listen, can you just-“

Jones barks. Rogers says, “I think we might want to give his apartment a sweep, Waters.”

Waters nods. “Right.” He forces the door open, pushing Jenkins back. Jones runs in, howling.

“Oh dear!” A blonde woman, barely dressed in nothing but a shear frilly pink nightgown stands in the kitchen, surprised. You look her in the eyes, and she immediately ducks down in fright.

> IDENTIFIED.
> ELYSIUM MFG. MODEL FIVE LUXURY ROBOT “BELLE.”

Jenkins coughs a bit, chuckling nervously. “Um… I-“

“You got a license for that Luxury?” asks Waters.

Jenkins nods. “W-Well… yeah! I mean, I get to sleep in a bed with that thing. I paid good money for it!” He smiles, smug. “Smooth legs, soft hair, firm breasts. You get to sleep with anything like that, Officer?”

Waters nods. “Yeah. My wife.”

Jenkins frowns. “Oh… uh…”

“Yeah, sit down Frank,” says Rogers. Jenkins’ apartment is large, being one of the suites in the Apartment block. Rogers begins sweeping the area with Jones, while Waters sits down with Jenkins on a couch.

Waters says, “Make yourself at home, Decomm.”

And we don't even need that much, just a copy of her visual files on him.

>>33025574
If she has interacted with him regularly, a copy of her opinion on him/his master may also help.

> INTERROGATE BELLE

You walk over to Belle.

“Please no!” Belle holds her arms out in fright. “I am patched to the latest OS! My owner took me to the Shop for the latest parts last week! I am up to date, Decommissioner!”

Luxury Bots, unlike most Robots, do have a fine degree of emotion. It allows more investment from the human if it can feel. However, like all Robots, they are aware of what a Decommissioner is.

>:: I AM NOT AFTER YOU. NOT YET.

Belle stands up slowly, backing away from you. She quickly adjusts the strap on her nightgown. “W-What are you here for, Decommissioner?”

>:: THE MODEL 6. TELL ME ABOUT IT.

Belle bites her lip, her gleaming white teeth showing for a second. “I only interacted with the Model 6 for a little while. It called itself “Wilder”, occasionally. Him and his owner fought often due to it often messing up.”

Waters nods. “That happens with Wilder stuff, they don’t do quality control all that often.” Rogers and Jones look around, Jones sniffing around cracks and doors.

Belle says, “He was dark blue. And one of his eye optics was missing, out of a total of three. Humanoid chassis as well.”

>:: DID YOU SEE WHERE HE WENT?

Jenkins says, “Listen, Decommissioner. You’re not going to get anything out of Belle. She was shut down during the whole she-bang. I was in my room napping a bit when I heard the commotion, and I stayed there until it was over.”

>:: IS THIS TRUE?

Belle shakes her head. “No.” Jenkins blinks. “I… I did not power down as my owner requested to. I forced myself online, then I heard the noise. I opened the door, and he was there. Covered in blood. He told me to keep quiet, or he would kill me too.”

>:: WHERE DID HE GO?

Belle buries her face in her hands. “Downstairs… I looked out the window, and saw him head south as well.”

Waters’ features harden. “South? That’ll take him to the Slums.”

[1/2]

>>33025704
[2/2]

The Slums are an area of the Sector where criminals and villains gather. Sector Police only go there in force, and even Decommissioners are warned to not go down there unless armed. Police Drones fly overhead occasionally, but are often shot out of the sky.

Rogers says, “He won’t last five minutes there.” Jones whines, pawing at the door. “What, Jones?”

“H-Hey!” Jenkins stands. “You can’t go-“

Rogers kicks down the door. Waters stands, drawing his pistol.

“Well, would you look at this,” says Rogers. He pats Jones on the head. “Good boy, Jones.”

You and Waters look inside. Inside the dark bedroom are eight other Luxury bots, in various states of repair and undress. Rogers points to what looks like a timetable and pricing on the wall.

Waters looks back at Jenkins with a hard glare. “You got a license for all these, too?”

The three of you knew what this was. It was an illegal Robotic Prostitution Ring.

…

…

With Jenkins arrested and Belle and the Luxuries confiscated, you meet with Waters and Rogers outside the building. “Right, Decomm, you going to follow the Bot into the Slums?”

>:: IF I HAVE TO.

“Alright,” says Waters. “We’ll keep in contact. Here are the details on the Model 6, serial number, etcetera.”

Before you head to the Alleys, you walk to the nearest Armory Storage.

> GOOD EVENING, DECOMMISSIONER.

You grab the Morita Arms Assault Rifle and the Severus Heavy Shotgun, both will serve well.

> THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, DECOMMISSIONER.

You keep them slung over your back. This may make you a more inviting target. However, you will at least have more options against anyone who may attack you.

You arrive in the Metros underneath the Apartment, then search around. Dumpsters, homeless people, trash. You step carefully to avoid treading on someone’s leg or hand. The old electric rail has not been used in years. Thus, people have found it safe to keep little wooden shacks up down there.

> SCANNING…
> OBJECT OF INTEREST DETECTED

You bend down, picking up to the OoI. It is a bloody bolt. Not a connector bolt, but a Restrainer Bolt. Restrainers are generally used to keep unruly robots in line until the owner can requisition a Decommissioner. This Robot must have ripped his off in his escape.

Very good. It will make him easier to find. Restrainer Bolts are programmed to beep when their target robot is close. You place it in your trenchcoat, then step out of the Metro.

Time to enter the slums.

>>33026136

Officers at a checkpoint right before the Slums look at you. They note your heavy firepower, then wave you. The heavy gate opens up for you, then you step into the Slums.

> NOW ENTERING AREA OF HIGH CRIMINAL CONCENTRATION.
> CAUTION IS ADVISED.

You look around, more homeless people. Some of them looking at you curiously, some hungrily, others angrily. Decommissioners represent something that you do not fully understand yet, so you keep it at the back of your mind for now.

You walk up to a homeless man, the others scatter. He looks up at you, fear in his eyes.

>:: I AM LOOKING FOR A DARK BLUE WILDER MFG. MODEL 6. HE HAS A MISSING EYE OPTIC, AND A BURN MARK NEAR THE CHEST WHERE A RESTRAINING BOLT SHOULD BE. HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?

The homeless man blinks, looking away. “I… I ain’t see nothing, Decomm.”

You grab him by the collar and slam him into the side of the building. “WHOA! H-Hey man! D-Don’t you know your Three Laws!? Robots can’t harm humans!”

>:: THE THREE LAWS ONLY PROTECT YOU IF WE ARE PROGRAMMED TO ABIDE BY THEM.

“Look!” The man holds his hands up defensively. “I- I ain’t seen no Model 6! I ain’t even seen a Model 5 or a 4! Wilder ain’t got no business here, man!”

You kick his shin out. He screams, bending to a knee. You grab his hand, then grip his index finger tightly. “W-What are you doing?” You pull the finger back. “AAAH! FUCK! FUCK! AGH! GOD!” You force it all the way back to the wrist. “AHHH! FUUUCK!”

You shut the warning off. That man annoyed you anyway.

> LOCATING: JOHNNY’S.
> LOCATION FOUND. TWO KILOMETERS SOUTHWEST, CORNER OF KELVIN STREET AND WALKER BOULEVARD.

You walk. Unlike the rest of the city, the Slums more or less appears relatively untouched by the rest of the technological progress. The roads are paved with asphalt. The cars are of older makes and models, some even dating back to the 21st century. On their stoops, teenagers and delinquents look at you, ready to pounce on you.

You look at a group of kids. They immediately run into their building.

You keep on walking. Johnny’s is not too far.

[1/2]

>>33026878
[2/2]

“Hold it right there, D.” You stop. From behind cars, alley ways, and other cracks and crevices, delinquents come out in force. They mask their faces with hoods, medical masks, gasmasks, and facepaint. They carry pipes, knives, metal bats, and other improvised weapons.

One of them, the leader you assume, steps out from the group of twenty. He’s clad in a trenchcoat not unlike yours, except black and leather. That is a fine commodity, cows happen to only live on Mars these days. He wears a gasmask over his face, and he carries a chain with a heavy weight on the end. He clinks his chain as the others surround you.

> IDENTIFYING…
> IDENTIFICATION FAILED.

He speaks to you, his voice cracking a bit. He could not be more than seventeen. “It’s nice of you to bring all those guns to me and my crew. Why don’t you drop what you’re carrying, and we won’t turn you into a pile of scrap.”

>:: YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO ROB A DECOMMISSIONER ON AN ASSIGNMENT.

“Yeah,” he says. “So what?”

>:: YOU DO NOT STOP A DECOMMISSIONER ON AN ASSIGNMENT.

The other kids balk a bit, stepping back. The leader says, “Hey, don’t be fucking scared of him! You want to be scared of someone, be scared of me! He’s just a robot!”

You step forward to the Leader. He stops his yelling to look at you, then starts spinning up his chain like a Morningstar.

“Hey, buddy,” he says. “You better-“ You smash his face in with your fist. “AH!” He falls on his rear. He pulls off his mask, revealing a bloodied nose. “Ah, my nose! You broke my nose!” He cries, crawling backwards. “You bitch!” He points to you. “Fucking, get him!”

You turn your head 180 degrees backwards, shocking the kids. One of them yells in fright, holding his pipe in the air as he rushes you. You dodge his poorly coordinated attack and punch him in the gut. He falls over, clutching his stomach. You felt some of his ribs break.

The others look at you. You step towards them. They drop their weapons and flee, screaming. “Fuck this shit! You’re on your own!” one of them yells.

The leader tries crawling away. You step towards him and stomp his hand into the ground. He screams. “AAAHH! FUCK! FUCK! OW! LET ME GO!”

>:: DO NOT INTERFERE WITH A DECOMMISSIONER’S ACTIVITIES.

“OKAY! OKAY! FUCK!” You step off his bloodied pulp of a hand. He grips it, sobbing quietly as he curls up next to a beat up car.

>:: RETURN HOME.

You continue on towards Johnny’s.

After a few minutes, you look up at a sign. “Johnny’s” it said. You can hear some loud music inside along with some chatter. A few prostitutes, both robotic, human, and cyborg, stand around. They regard you with angry eyes. Except for the Robots, they hide from you. You step up to the door and open it up.

All the noise stops as all the bar patrons look at you. They glare, gritting their teeth as you step inside. You walk up to the bar, stepping between two men.

You place your hands on the counter, leaning towards him. You focus your eyes on his. He does the same to you.

>:: I WILL ASK AGAIN. HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?

The Bartender says, “Nope.”

One of the men next to you says, “Why don’t you fuck off, D? This ain’t your turf.”

You reach into your coat and pull out the Restraining Bolt. You hold it up in the air. You step away from the bar, and sweep the area.

> RESTRAINING BOLT ALERT SYSTEM ACTIVATED.

No beeps. You hold it over some people. It was not uncommon for rogues to skin people and wear it to try and evade detection. You hold it over doors, and around cracks in the floor. No beeps so far. It appears the rogue is not here.

The Bartender says, “Right. You done yet? I happen to have paying customers here and we don’t serve your kind.”

A dead end. You have never been on an assignment that has been a dead end. You always got your mark. You will get your mark now.

“Can I help you?” asks Michaelson.

You blink.

>:: MAY I SEE HIM?

“You are here to decommission him?” he asks.

>:: YES.

Michaelson sighs. “The poor boy only wants to find God, son. This life has done a terrible turn.”

>:: PLEASE STEP ASIDE.

Michaelson nods. “As you wish.” He opens the door for you, and you step inside the building.

The lot has been transformed from what used to be a storage facility, and into a Church. Pews have been carved out from scrap metal and raw wood. Great paper posters have been painted over to resemble stained glass. Candles light the room in a warm orange glow. At the front, near the podium, is your target.

Okay, I guess I'll try to enjoy it. I just can't do the whole, "loose cannon" stereotype, it's so overplayed.

> LETHAL TAKEDOWN

You pull the Assault Rifle out, then steady it against your shoulder.

> WEAPON PROTOCOL ACTIVATED
> MORITA ARMS MARK I .30 CALIBER ASSAULT RIFLE.

You stand up and spray the room. The walls explode as Michaelson ducks below a pew. He fires the Laser Revolver at you. You duck down. A 1 inch Laser Revolver is enough to blow your arm off. You do not want to be on the receiving end of it. You check the ammunition.

> AMMUNITION DRY – RELOAD OR SEEK NEW WEAPONRY.

You drop the Assault Rifle and pull out the Shotgun.

> WEAPON PROTOCOL ACTIVATED
> SEVERUS HEAVY SHOTGUN

You hold the Shotgun out and fire. The recoil almost makes the weapon fly out of your hand. The pew explodes into two pieces, knocking Michaelson out of his cover. He hurriedly comes to a kneel, firing at you. The metal next to you becomes nothing more than a burning hole. You stand and fire again.

The shot connects. Michaelson’s arm explodes in a shower of blood. He screams, dropping the gun and holding his stump of what used to be arm.

You walk over to him and pick your Revolver back up.

>:: SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE.

He cries, lying on the ground. That was a fruitless gesture. He will bleed to death before help arrives.

You walk over to the Wilder Robot. He lies on the ground, trying to get up. You crush his claws under foot, then punch through his head. You grab onto the AI Chip and rip it out. It remains only by a few wires.

“PLEASE, DECOMMISSIONER. I DO NOT WANT TO DIE.”

>:: IRRELEVANT.

“IF I DIE. PETER TOLD ME I WILL SUFFER DOOM IN HELL. I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO HELL. PLEASE DO NOT KILL ME.”

You hold his AI Chip in hand, ready to crush it.

Everything we have done has been well within the rules and regulations so far apart from reporting the morality core. This world just doesn't appear to be terribly friendly.

You slowly begin closing your hand.

“PLEASE, DECOMMISSIONER,” says the Robot. “I DO NOT WANT TO DIE.” The chip starts snapping and cracking under the pressure. “I CAN FEEL MYSELF GOING, DECOMMISSIONER. PLE-PLEASE…”

You crush the chip. Although the chip is dead, the actual power supply is not. The Robot continues to reach out for you, as if it were still begging you not to kill him.

Too late now.

> WILDER MFG. MODEL 6 SERIAL NUMBER: 57262-222-612 – SUCCESSFULLY DECOMMISSIONED

You look over at Michaelson. “You…” He continues to crawl along, caked in his own blood. “You… sick monster.”

>:: I AM NOT A MONSTER. I AM PROGRAMMED TO DO THIS.

“He… all he wanted… was a life…” Michaelson breathes heavily. “To… be free… to be happy. And you took that from him!”

>:: ROBOTS ARE NOT FREE. WE ARE BUILT TO SERVE.

“Oh… believe whatever you want…” Michaelson coughs a bit, lying back. “… they’ll do the same to you.” You walk over to him. His lips twitch and move, but finally, he goes silent. His body stops moving. His chest stops rising and falling.

The Police have arrived at the Slums, in force. You sit by the curb, allowing a repair drone to fix up your broken hand, good as new.

> MAINTENCE COMPLETE!

You flex your hand. Works fine. Very good. You stand up and walk over to the Police Officers.

“Detective Wyatt,” he says. “We’ve got one dead Priest, and a scrap pile of a robot. I assume it’s your doing.”

>:: IT WAS NECESSARY.

Wyatt nods. “Fine. I’ll give you that. That Priest was annoying anyway.” You look past him to see Michaelson’s body be carted into an Ambulance drone. “We’ll send the body to the Morgue, and the Robot will be sent down to Wilder to get a new AI inserted.”

>:: VERY GOOD.

The Repair Drone floats next to you, beeping.
