“Meh. I wouldn’t feel comfortable keeping something this important to myself, anyways. I can always put restrictions on it.”    “I’ve got some recommendations, if you want some.”    “uh huh”    “No looping, since that means no clones - just simple one-way trips. Everybody gets an attendant Quail, who ensures they don’t do anything wrong.”    “Wow, that seems like a great way to get a lot of Quails murdered.” Quail mused.    “No bringing stuff back in time. No bringing stuff forward in time. A maximum time you can go forward.”    “Look, I’m super interested in all your interesting restrictions, but I’m not using any.”    “This is a serious mistake. You can’t be saying everybody should be able to go ham on it.”    “There’s no way I can prevent everybody from using the machine wrong. I’m not going to try when any rules I make could just be evaded.”    Kim spoke up. “Couldn’t you just use the machine for that?”    “Huh?”    “You have a literal time machine now. You don’t have to worry about making rules or policing them after the fact - you can go back in time and stop them then.”    “I hadn’t considered that. I guess I still haven’t really thought this thing through.”    “There’s a lot we’re going to have to learn about time travel, but I suggest we learn it all by just doing it. We can fix our mistakes now. We should take the opportunity to make them.”    The three of them sat on the couch together, staring at the machine. For the moment, the doors stood still, it did not whirr, and it did not shake.

  At 5 p.m., a Jenny steps out of the time machine to an extreme degree of science. There must be dozens of Quails running around, chatting, and making the most complicated timeline diagram she’d ever seen.    “Sorry to interrupt - “    One of the Quails speaks without looking up. “We grabbed your car and parked it outside. Go ahead and pick yourself up.”    “You wh-”    “We made a copy of the keys in a different timeline. You allowed us to because otherwise you miss yourself and end up walking for like an hour. We can melt them down afterwards if you want.”    Jenny pauses. “Thanks, I guess.” She goes out to drive to Leaves.

   Many people felt scared about the situation. Everyone was now stranded, wondering where everything went wrong. Some blamed Mike, some blamed all the corporations for taking part in the whole scheme, but most importantly, everyone started to blame themselves. Had they included the bots and rebelled together like originally planned, everyone would have jobs, including the bots. This whole conflict would have been avoided on both parts, yet everyone blindly followed who they thought of as leaders.  They learned throughout this whole thing that they should not blindly follow these corrupt ways but should instead lead the way that they think is the best route. It seemed too late though, and humanity was ultimately destroyed.

Just a few weeks later, the news went out stating that Z-tech is now a struggling company, as they are earning very little income and are struggling to pay any of their expenses. What made it worse is that some have even boycotted other companies using their robo assistants, which forced some to return the assistants, causing a bigger loss on their part. This was phenomenally successful for the middle and lower class, mainly because these corporations letting go of robotics have started to take workers back, putting the economy in a safer place for a moment.Z-tech was now at a position where the corporation was about to shut down for good, and this, as many can imagine, made the CEO, Mike, very anxious. He started calling up the corporate office to the top of the building, and he had stated that everyone had to think of something, and they had to think of something extremely fast. He had stated that the business is now tanking due to the boycott and that we need to figure out a way to make the bots much more efficient for other corporations that way other corporations can start buying them again. Not many could come up with something, but Mike thought of an idea that could alter everything back to him. He had stated that he possibly wanted to do more technological research that way he can better the robo assistants himself. He stated that through this, there will be more efficiency, which will mean more gratification from other corporations. The more gratification that they can receive from these corporations, the more sales of the assistants they can make. He did state that this will take some time and investment, but that it will be worth it at the end.

It was not too long ago, that we were living in a place that everyone could call heaven. Everyone took advantage, not realizing how great it was to live back then. Nearly everyone would complain about how life may had sucked then, all because they were bored that day. Everyone could remember those days like it could have been yesterday. Jessica was still a young teenager back then, young, and happy. Her best friend was named Stephanie. She could remember when they would just spend the whole day talking about what boy was cute, what clothes we liked, what our favorite music was, and other things that just made us happy. Everything was so innocent and happy back then. No one had to even think about tomorrow, because they knew that tomorrow would be another day they would live in peace. Everyone knew that they were in great hands since they had the resources to support themselves and their families to encourage everyone to keep going. Everyone thought that this was ironic thinking about this now. People lived in a life that they could possibly even call heaven on earth.

They couldn’t help feeling satisfied. They had saved the city! Whatever weird bullshit the government was planning, they had stopped it. No more chance of every single person having their identity stolen. No facial recognition cameras. No secret police. It was done, as far as they were concerned.

“Listen Prima. Do you remember all our suicide ganks? Our bonus rooms? Our incursions? Our sabotages? I’m never afraid to sacrifice myself a little to help you out. And besides, I’ve got a plan.”

no

  Quail walked through the door, flinching as it slammed shut

Kim shuddered. This was probably a bad time to be hearing this; it just reminded her of why she didn’t want these glasses on so often.

He continued. “Or so people say. I happen to agree with them, but it doesn’t actually feel very important, does it? It doesn’t seem like a little data leak would do much harm. But a deceptively small amount of information is enough to magnify other issues to the point of danger.”

“That’s why information is so valuable to companies - they need so little of it for it to be worth selling to someone. So what do you do?” He went to the next slide. “Easy options: never repeat your password, never use your real name. A bit more restrictive: don’t let anything use your location, never post pictures of yourself publically. Crazy mode: use a different email address for each account, wear a mask at all times.”

    “I mean, I don’t hate him or anything. Ugh. I guess it’s more that I trust him.”

No real clue on location, though.”

She pouted. “I just wanted to make sure people were talking about it. I was worried if Harold just blindly said okay, he would forget about it later.

He always liked being the adult who kept up with the kids. He’d never wanted to give up and just listen to country or something, never wanted to be the guy who got repeatedly dunked for not understanding a single word someone was saying. Sure, it was a little odd being on a server with kids, but they flamed him enough for it, so he wasn’t concerned. Plus, he was able to help them out pretty often, which he was thankful for.

Holding onto the handrail, Trent thought about how he got into that chat. What was it, two teens, a young adult, and some old man? He never felt like he belonged, and mostly stayed out of it.

Kim walked in, making sure not to let the door slam. Quail had installed a magnetic doorstop last year, and had neglected to keep the strength to anything reasonable. Not yanking back on the door as it closed was sure to wake up people in adjacent units, something Quail had either completely tuned out or didn’t care about. At least it was easy to tell when she walked in.

Quail

They learned throughout this whole thing that they should not blindly follow these corrupt ways but should instead lead the way that they think is the best route. It seemed too late though, and humanity was ultimately destroyed.

They then copied exactly what the robot had looked like internally and externally. Each bot would do about 50 bots a day for about a week, which would create over 1 million bots.

He finally pressed the button, and this deactivated all the robots all at once. Everyone cheered as this happened, and they finally gained hope in society. However, some robots have already caught up to the plan before the technology for it was ready, so they were able to bypass their own self-destruction by figuring out how to hide themselves in the software.

One bot was captured and deactivated manually. They were then brought to Josh for more research.

This bot would let Josh discover the one thing that could possibly save humanity.

Mike had apologized to him and explained that if he did not get his help, the bots could destroy all of humanity.

    Mike did not know exactly what he was doing.

since many have started to exclude them

very discriminate

Many were wondering why people were being so cruel to them.

The corporations have explained that Z-tech had planned months ago to save their own business. They had designed android like robots that look very similar to what a human being would look like, and that they had once bought these machines to work for them by completing tasks every day. However, they still felt hesitant about the way that the machines may affect the economy, so they balanced these robots out with people, that way people can still hold jobs.

“let the foreign stay,”

They start introducing themselves to the people and explain that they from a foreign place and are new to the town. The people start to welcome them to the town, show them everything that they know of, and start to explain to them what the culture is like there. They then explain that it feels great to have their jobs back and to have the economy running back to normal.

They replaced their hard-out core bodies with a type of leather that felt softer to touch.

Mike had stuck on

these robo assistants are starting to affect the economy adversely and announced that they would be firing their robo assistants to take more people in that way they can stimulate the economy.

They noticed that customer satisfaction has went up since they were incorporated, and since not a lot of corporations incorporated them in now, the economy was rising regardless.

which changed their minds immediately.

but also informed Mike that they will not have conscious minds that way they will not have any motives to take over humankind.

he could be a common thief that may be posing as a scientist to take advantage.

he did not want to rely on them to make his business more reputable, since he felt that they would purposely taint his business.

He exclaims that there is no way that there could even be a rebellion, since it would look like they were human anyways, and people would perceive this as humans working instead of him and other corporations hiring bots.

“how did I end up here?” This had shocked Mike, and he started thinking that it may be a glitch.

Walmart, Amazon, and other big corporations have made the announcement which included the complaints from the working people, stating that we need humans back in the workforce, not robots.

He saw them as inefficient to society and lazy, when in fact they have worked almost every single day of their lives. One was eventually brave enough to say that many simply cannot afford to just launch their own business out of the blue without having to work for the money to invest in it. He explained that he did not care, since they did not make the effort before the crisis. Most of the room now have completely disagreed with the CEO’s plan, leading him to take over the project on his own.

He wanted to be more associated with people that work for themselves and earn an income, not those that work for someone else because they are “too lazy” to live their own lives.

Some were scared that if the robo assistants became too efficient, it would eventually take over humanity one way or another.

The corporations have compiled together with the CEO to find another way of defending themselves that would teach the lower and middle classes that the elites were no one that they should mess with.

This made even more people upset to the point where worldwide, the CEO of Z-tech have started to receive death threats from them.

However, some of the middle class have figured out how to hack into their systems to disable this barrier.

It also didn’t help much that some still relied on credit to also own a car, since they still could not afford it all at once.

Since people were now renting apartments, many have had to rely on credit to get them approved.

Past houses were torn down, and materials from these houses were used to construct the apartments. This was due to a high demand of apartments, and there was a huge shortage before.

This would hold the economy steady for a while and would give the realtor agents time to think about what they could possibly do.

The way that this system was structured avoided any kind of corruption through bribery and gave a lot more opportunities to those who worked for it.

Due to the success of the Z phone company, as well as companies supporting their funding, unemployment was down to almost nothing. Everyone was able to have jobs with stable pay. Everyone was able to work just 20 hours a week and still have enough disposable income to save up for their descendants. Everyone can live in an area that is peaceful, ceased of any danger whatsoever. There was no such thing as gangs or dangerous criminals that one would have to keep a look out for. There was nothing to worry about financially, therefore, no one ever felt the need to commit any crimes. Everyone could also pick up their phones with ease as well, as there were no scams at the time since there was no need for them. All these jobs were able to pay 20 dollars an hour or more, which was well above the minimum wage. Because of the high wages, more people were able to afford more houses and buy their own cars upfront. Credit became obsolete and so did the aspect of rent, leases, and monthly payments.Due to the wage changes in those years, apartments have become projects for the poorer class, which consisted of those unable to work due to old age or disability. They were given food three times a day, nursed every single time of the day, and given technology to learn new things. They would be able to practice any skill that they choose, whether it would be knitting, singing, dancing, etc. There were specialized rooms for each passion that patients had, making it easier for them to pursue any type of career that they wanted, making them feel better about themselves.
