Tracy thought to herself, "Ugh! This is so boring,” as she looked at the security monitors with her tired eyes. It had already been a long shift, and her night of fun was ruined when a friend came to her begging Tracy to cover her shift. Normally things like this didn't bother Tracy. But Tracy’s friend really hammered in the, 'You Owe Me' card, and with such short notice. Normally Tracy didn't work night shifts at all, and this was clearly becoming evident. Tracy’s eyes were tired, her demeanor sluggish, and her attitude was increasingly brash, she thought, “I need to keep myself awake... falling asleep is not an option...” Her exhausted blue eyes looked over the monitor, hoping for something to entertain her but everything was falling short of keeping her attention. Tracy thought, “The coffee maker is broken, my night is ruined, and now I am about to fall asleep at my post.” She was about to give in, but then a thought occurred to her, “No one knows I am working this shift, my friend didn't fill out any paperwork to show it.” Tracy checked the monitor and confirmed her suspicions; the cameras only seemed to focus heavily on areas involving android processing. Then an idea came to Tracy and she thought, “Ehh, what the hell. It will keep me awake and it will be something amusing.” Tracy put the cameras on a small playback loop so she could slip away, thinking, “I’ll be back so soon no one will ever know.” Tracy tapped a few keys before getting out of her chair and onto her feet, then reassured herself before stepping out of the security office, “Just a few minutes of fun, and then I will be back.”
FIVE MINUTES PASSED
Tracy thought to herself, “I think this is the area...,” as she rounded another corner and opened the first door to her right. Hanging inside was the standard issue android clothing she was looking for. She smirked, “Aha! I knew it,” taking one of the outfits off the wall, it was almost immediately replenished with another set. She thought while rubbing her fingers across the fabric, “This is so smooth, like some Hybrid of plastic and rubber. Hmm, my friends always told me I look like an android.” She looked up from the fabric towards a shiny piece of metal and using the reflection to approximate how she would look Tracy thought, “Fuck it!” Tracy was a little bit giddy as she slowly stripped off her clothes and put on the android uniform. Dressing only took a few minutes and before she knew it the outfit was on and activated. Tracy thought, “Wow... they weren't kidding...” She looked into the mirror slightly shocked as to how close she did resemble the real thing. Mentally recalling the photos in advertising posters Tracy was just about to get over how much she looked like the real thing when she noticed a small round object on the ground and thought, “Oh! The LED thingy...” Tracy leaned down to pick it up off of the ground and thought, “it looks so cool by itself.” Again she used the reflection to guesstimate where the ring should go, and after a couple of attempts it latched on. Suddenly Tracy thought to herself, “Woah! Buy me a drink first,” as she felt the oddest sensation in her temple. Looking into the mirror she noticed the ring wasn't glowing and thought, “I think I better...” When suddenly Tracy jumped and said, “Holy Shit!” She just noticed the female android propped up against the back of the door, it was deactivated and completely naked. Tracy thought, “I guess this is where the outfit came from,” she shuddered, her whole body shaking off the initial shock, “Yeah I need to get back to my post now!” The sight of the robot had startled her and prompted her to turn around. As she reached for her clothes Tracy heard footsteps and thought, “Oh shit!” Tracy began to panic and chose the best option she could think of, tossing her clothing into a dark corner before standing still; hoping whoever it was would pass by and think she was just another android. Tracy would soon find out that this was not the case, just another android, yes, but not the best idea.
“Okay... take a right and...” The voice was approaching, and the footsteps were becoming louder. Tracy could easily recognize it as a female voice, one that she had heard before. Still Tracy couldn't quite place the voice, and then heard, “It's in here.” A female figure entered the room and Tracy knew immediately who it was, it was Sarah, one of her bosses! Tracy mentally thought, “Oh Hell!” Sarah looked directly at Tracy who tried staying as still as possible, so as not to break her cover. Then Tracy heard, “There you are, I thought the other workers already came for you. Don't worry, momma's here to fix you.” Tracy watched as her boss waved a metal stick near her head. Tracy figured she was caught and tried to speak, but found she could no longer open her mouth, and her body had gone rigid as well. Looking at her image, reflected in the sheet of metal which lie in her line of sight, Tracy saw the ring had lit up blue. Tracy heard Sarah say, “There we go, android control features are back online.” Tracy was beginning to panic, she wasn't some android she was human! Next came, “Okay, now lets see the extent of the memory damage, can you tell me the last thing you remember?” Tracy found herself mentally struggling, as the device accessed her memories; she couldn't resist its probing, and ultimately failed. Then Tracy heard herself answer, “The last thing I remember was getting undressed, before…” Sarah commanded, “Stop speaking, I have my answer...” Tracy immediately stopped speaking and couldn't believe that her own boss was treating her like some android. While admittedly she did get herself into this predicament, how could her boss not recognize who she was? Tracy mentally pleaded to Sarah, “Look up! Look at my face, not the tablet.” Tracy watched as Sarah scrolled through various settings and diagnostics then Sarah said, “This unit may be too far gone, damn them deviants over at repair, if I find one more unit being used for sexual acts I will fire each any every one of them.” Hearing this made Tracy panic as she thought, “No, that was not me! Look up at my face! Stop looking at that damn tablet! Please you have to notice me!” Tracy pleaded with her eyes, hoping Sarah would notice something was not right and for a moment it seemed like she might have. Sarah looked up and made eye contact, Tracy thought, “Oh dear,” as the back of Sarah’s hand was just inches away from touching her left cheek when it stopped. Tracy thought, “Yes! Yes, it’s me, Tracy, please!” Tracy was terribly disappointed as she watched her boss retract her hand and say, “This poor unit is traumatized, I’ll have to do factory reload of its’ programming!” Tracy’s heart sunk low as she watched Sarah press a few buttons, unable to ask her to stop. Then Tracy felt an odd sensation, as though she were dangling by a string in some void, as though she was about to fall. Before she could attempt to protest again, screaming mentally that she was human, the string broke and Tracy felt a falling sensation, then blackness. When Tracy once again regained consciousness she realized that she now knew how to do all the things a MaidBot needed to know how to do, and that she didn’t want to know how to do.
Sarah exclaimed, “And done!” Looking up from her holographic tablet and back at the android in front of her, Sarah said, “Don't worry my dear, you have been reset, your operating system has been reinstalled, and you are good as new.” Sarah looked into the soft blue eyes of the traumatized android, and thought, “Being the boss requires that I make sure all the androids are taken care of properly. Clearly the person in charge of screening workers should to be fired over this. Okay... now all I need to do is this, and this.” Her tablet beeped, indicating there had been an unknown error, but like most people Sarah didn’t read it and just pressed “Ignore & Continue Anyway” then watched as additional programming began uploading. Tracy once again felt a rush of information being loaded into her mind and went unconscious. Meanwhile Sarah stretched, clearly pleased with herself that she had managed to fix this android before the crooked workers had time to dispose of it. Even thought Tracy couldn’t hear it, Sarah said, “Don't worry my dear, I'll find out who did this to you and make it right.” Sarah watched as the android re-awakened as Sarah’s tablet beeped indicating the upload was complete. Then Sarah said, “Wonderful! State your model and designation!” Sarah watched as the android said the usual initial spiel while Tracy heard herself say, “My model number is AX400-6250CV-2A; A name has not yet been assigned. Would you like to perform an initial setup?” Sarah shook her head no, and said, “No need, you are to report to the sales floor, the store will be opening in roughly four hours, once there you are to clean up the store shelves then step into the 'Used Androids' display and stand at attention. Understood?” Tracy acknowledged compliance, and then Sarah watched as the android walked out the door. Sarah thought to herself, “I can't believe they would ruin a perfectly good model like this. I just hope she finds a new owner tomorrow. No way in hell I’m sending another android to the repair room, after that, until some changes are made." As Sarah walked out of the room she never noticed the actual ruined droid. Sarah’s head was back in her tablet and sorting out what remained to be done this evening. Sarah planned on firing some staff; Tracy would be among them since she never returned any of Sarah’s calls. Sarah never would realize that she was the reason why Tracy didn’t call back. As ordered, Tracy walked away to the sales floor where she would soon be sold to a new master, or mistress. And no matter how much she wanted to resist, Tracy realized, she would be spending the rest of her life taking orders and serving her owner.
