Is it Moral
"I need something better to do at night"
Today I needed to find a way to literally melt the sewn pieces of gel on my face so I didn't have to worry about it. A normal fire wouldn't be enough to melt it together so I'd need a blow torch.
I also found the port that should either hook me up to a computer or charge me maybe both.
The only people that would have one are metal workers and welders. I might need to steal. Hmm, I could probably actually get away without actually stealing and use it for a few minutes only. it's not impossible the only problem is everyone here is probably really poor and even taking a minute out of a blowtorch could really cost them it's hard to know.
It's not right but I should prioritize myself first even if a family has to struggle for a week to get extra food my entire life was on the line. Even though I haven't seen any evidence for cops of someone else looking for me who knows when they might show up.
I need to fix and restructure my face to hide. That's one pro of not having a fleshy body. I can easily change my identity. I'm also hoping that something like a combat program could be installed like in some movies. But that's probably a wildly optimistic pipe dream.
I think I might be good just wandering the streets until I find something. So I just began walking. I spent 2 hours walking without really finding much. It felt like I needed a change in my strategy. I just walked into a building like I owned the place and began climbing the stairs. On the 4th floor, I walked out. No one was in sight I gently started trying the doors. The first 5 were locked the sixth was too but the knob was a bit loose so I wiggled it and forced it a bit until it popped up showing the innards of the lock. It was just a simple deadbolt so I slid that away and entered.
It was dirty but still relatively well organized. There were no shoes at the door and no one reacted to the lock being breached. So I resolved to make this quick.
I went to the. Kitchen looking for anything to use. The stove was electric so that wouldn't help me meld my face. I checked the plugs on everything and none seemed like they'd work well with my charger. The only thing left was the refrigerator. I pushed it with all my might out of the way to look in the back and low and behold it was actually the right size.
Although it might be a huge risk to plug it into the plug on my neck I was going to need to charge somewhere anyway. I so calmed the apprehension in my chest and plugged it in.
[Power: Detected Terminal: NOT FOUND]
[Running local terminal procedure]
Text popped up in my eyes and I heard a voice. It seems there is a system inside of me that helped operate me.
There were 3 options. Shut down until x change %, System Diagnostics, and System settings.
I clicked on the Diagnostic portion because I wanted to learn more and see if there were any problems with my operation.
It showed I diagram of me and where all the pistons pulleys and motors that helped me move all were at 100% except the piston on my left jaw and left leg. They were at 82% and 94% effectiveness respectivly.
Overall nothing too concerning and I was at 64% battery so I can probably go almost 10 days without a charge from full maybe more.
This meant that power wouldn't be as big of a concern as I thought it was. I exited the diagnostic menu and went to system settings.
1) Turn on HUD y/n [N]
2)Use analysis y/n [N]
3)Tracking y/n [Y]
4) Limit movement power y/n [N]
There weren't many things and there were also some sliders on how colors should be seen or how opaque the HUD should be I ignored those.
I changed All of the Yes no settings except for limiting my movement power. It's strange that that wasn't limited but I could think about that later. After exiting out of the Menu I saw in the corner of my right eye my battery percentage and a temperature and time of the day. Nothing too useful but It might help at some point.
I was very worried about the tracking I saw. It might be ok since they didn't find me and it was off now but they might've still been able to see what I did yesterday. I can try my analysis later I should really leave. I unplugged the fridge and didn't even attempt to hide the fact I was there and just left. After leaving the building I saw a group of 4 people with pistols on their hips. 2 were carrying nets in their hands and the other 2 had big tubes that looked like bazookas.
It's possible that they were here for me. i did my best to keep the same walking speed that I had and join a crowd. Luckily they didn't see me or were just never after me in the first place. If I was ever going to fight people like that I would definitely need way better parts and equipment than I currently have.
Even with the moral wrong, I committed by stealing from someone who isn't that rich I needed to and I probably will need to be more immoral if I ever want to seek revenge.
