Humany

I woke up the next morning feeling very refreshed, although I was very hungry. I jumped off the bed, even though I didn't have plans of leaving the bed throughout the day, cause of the holidays.

'I need to eat something stat'.

I thought to myself. I walked downstairs expecting to hear voices as usual but I heard none.

'Hmm guess they all went somewhere'.

It didn't really bother me cause for the past few weeks I spent less time with them than before. So I was used to it. Just then I received a call from Stephen.

"Hey dude, how are you doing".

I said to Stephen.

"I'm good can I come to your house".

He asked me. I would have said yes even though my family was at home but now that they aren't at home it's an even better reason I should say yes.

"Yeah sure why not".

I said as I walked to the kitchen. He didn't reply but he hung up almost immediately after I agreed. It was surprising but I noticed his voice sounded a bit gloomy. I immediately turned on the auto-snack machine and poured a small box of 'prepare yourself sausages'. The auto-snack machine was designed to use the powdered contents in the box to construct or prepare the snack specified on the box as quick as 5 minutes.

When my sausages were ready I took them to the sitting room and began eating. I started to recall the events that happened yesterday. Jessica and her being a robot and Samantha. SAMANTHA!! I told myself I'd fix up all the differences between us but I messed up again.

'Come to think of it how did I get to my room'.

I asked myself then I remembered that I had Stephen. Maybe he did helped me up. Before I finished what I was thinking I heard my doorbell ring. The Identity system installed in our house, then called out who it was

'Alert! Stephen, Luis' Best friend, is at the door'

Normally the system would have said his surname but I adjusted the settings for him only. I stood up and opened the door for him.

"Hey Steve what's up".

I asked him as we shook hands for a while. His face looked excited contrary to how his voice sounded over the phone.

"I'm good, guess who's done reprogramming the chip".

He showed me two watches and I looked at them for a while before I let him in and closed the door.

"I thought it was going to be an AI not the watch your dad bought us last year".

I asked him as I sat down and he sat down beside me.

"I know, but it's not the watch but what's in the watch, wear it, tap on the screen and say hello".

He said so I took the watch tapped the screen and wore it.

"Hello".

I said then I felt something like an earpod curl around my ear.

'Hello Luis'.

A voice said through the earpod. The moment I heard the voice I turned to Stephen and looked at him surprised ,making demonstrations to say I could hear a voice through the earpod.

"Umm do you know me".

I asked stupidly. It just said my name, it's meant to know me.

'Yes, from my data files I have Identified you to be Luis Vertran, Son of the very influential Donald Vertran'.

It said without pausing for even a millisecond.

'I have also made a proper examination of your body and discovered you have incredible fire burning within you. You are a class-B superhuman'

I looked at Stephen feeling very impressed. I always knew he was good at things like this but this was way out of my thoughts about him. I have to start respecting him more.

"How did you pull this off".

I asked him.

"Well you know when I started working on the AI, after two days I realized it was impossible to come up with a chip that would suit what we wanted so I decided to work on other different codes that could be helpful for us like body scan programs, identity recognition and the likes and when you brought Jessica all I had to do was reprogramme some parts of her chip since it was no longer locked like the rest and input my code in them".

He explained as I looked at him bewildered. He was a Genius. A big one at that.

"Although it sounds so stiff, Like TV Impressions of a robot".

I said as I laughed.

"Oh yeah there's a setting to change that".

He said as he stood up and wore his watch.

"Umm Femo display the AI to human familiarity setting".

Stephen said before his watch displayed a scale with an adjuster that read 0. Then Stephen moved the adjuster to 7.

"Ok try it out now".

He said as he sat down.

"Ok hello umm Femo? It's Femo you called it right".

I said to the watch and asked Stephen before the watch replied.

'Hello Luis, nice to meet you again and if you are having problems with my name it's Femo'.

Femo said as I smiled.

"Nice Femo do you have like any other features".

I asked Femo as I tapped on the watch repeatedly.

'You know you don't have to tap the watch that way you could just talk and about the other features, I definitely do... I am an AI as you humans like to call it'.

Femo replied as it sounded more humany all of a sudden(pardon my grammar there).

"Yeah Femo has other features and we can't start listing them now but why don't we use it to look for robots and I also made these".

Stephen said as he brought out very small looking chips.

"What are they?".

I asked him as I took one from his hand.

"They are magnetic devices that should be able to destroy the code in the robots and cause them to activate their self destruction system".

Stephen said as he put them in his pockets.

"Come on let's test them".

He said as he went outside. I nodded in agreement and followed him.

"Umm computer lock up the...".

I said but was Interrupted by Femo as it said, 'Allow me'. Then the house locked on its own.

"It has access to my house nice".

I said as Stephen and I walked around my neighborhood.
