Cat out of the bag! part 4, by Mirage

"So, you know that Rachel is a robot?" the doctor asked me. "Yup, press inside her naval and opened her up, by accident." I told him, not sure how to handle the situation. "Please sit down, Jim." Doctor Strung ask me to do. I complied and sat on the chair, facing the room. I peered around, seeing Rachel in pieces, on a big silver table, surrounded by computers and tools. "As you now know, Rachel is an android. She is one of my many children." The older man, in a doctor coat explained, typing at a computer as he spoke. I smiled because he had the typical "old germanish mad scientist" accent. "So, Rachel is not unique?" I asked.

"Of course she is!! They are all unique. Each are programmed with limited character trays, so, it's up to their own A.I. to become whom they wish to become. That's why I create them, ya." He grinned, as he was massaging his own ego. "Why did you created them?" I asked confused. "Why? Why not! That is the answer! I wanted to prove that my androids could assimilate into human society and become humans themselves! Amazing, yes?" Doctor Strung yelled out, in a victory shout. "So, none of them, know they are not human.. What happen when they do discover they are robots?" I then asked, wanting more answers. "They won't! They are perfect! I installed safeguards!" he laughed at my question. "Ah! But they will! and do you know how I know? Because Rachel discovered she was a machine by accident!" I told him. "Oh! Really! And what happen to her??? This is so interesting!" he said quickly. "She tried to commit suicide! TWICE! Thank God I repaired her." I responded. "Suicide??? Fascinating!" he then said.

"That's my fiancee you are talking about!!!" I yelled back, frustrated. "Yes, yes.. I know you love her, and she loves you. I should know, I programmed her to fall in love with you." he said, as he typed more on his computer. "W..what? what do you mean??? why?? I.. I don't understand.. why would you do that?" I asked, shock and more confused. "To test her, of course! I choose your profile from a dating site. You seem like a great guy, and I needed to test Rachel's emotional programming. I wanted to see if a machine could truly fall in love, or at least, believe it could. And Rachel did! She truly loves you!" the doctor smiled to me. "..I don't know what to think no more... this is too much.." I mumbled out, tears coming down my cheeks. "Boy, don't need to cry, her feelings for you are real! I only inserted your profile in her brain, and let nature take it's course. You had a 50/50 chance of her not liking you on that first date with her. I remember the first night, she came back to me, all she could talk was about you and this and that. She was totally gaga over you. You were her 3rd date you know, the first 2, she rejected them. She choose you herself. She saw something special in you, my boy!" He laughed out.

I took a deep breath of relief, as what he just said, eased the pain in my heart a bit. "She hates androids, robots.. very racist, somehow.. when she discovered she was one of them, she quickly fell into a great depression, so bad that she ripped her own internal circuits out, deactivating herself. " I then inform him. "Mmmm.. I was not expecting this reaction...I wonder why? I wonder if it's the "Pinocchio" effect?" he mumbled out. "Pinocchio Effect?" I asked confused. "It's an android theory.. A robot wishing so much to be human, and when they realize they will never be able to be one, go crazy... I heard of it, but I never believed it.." the Doctor said, as he grabbed Rachel's head. "Did any other of your androids ever discovered they were not human too?" I asked out loud. "One... and you met her outside this office" he replied. "Your secretary?" I gasped. "Yes, and she took it well. But I wonder it's because she barely had any human contacts, limiting her A.I.". he said, as he started assembling Rachel back. "I should verify this with her sisters." he then said. "how many sisters Rachel has?" I asked curious. "67... all living under the pretext of being human, like me and you. " he answered.

"There, she is all ready... I have to remove most of her memories at every 3 months, as her CPU reaches capacity almost every 3 months. The data she accumulates is enormous. Only specific important data she retains. This is why all my androids have "memory problems" sadly. Being Human takes lots of data for them to process every day. I am hoping to fix this one day." the doctor explained, attaching Rachel's head to her body. "Doctor, what am I to do, if Rachel discover again she's an android again? Should I erase her memories again?" I ask worried. "well, I repaired all damaged she had, gave her a full recharge, tuned her up, and updated her software. Do you want me to modify her A.I.?. " he ask, as he open one of her breasts from her chest, like a door on a cabinet.

Great installment; the backstory really fleshes out the character and makes everyone more..."real". I can't wait to read your next chapter. The pictures won't load, but that's my connection, so I'll get to see them later. I look forward to seeing them!

Great story so far, but the pictures aren't uploaded for me either...

The pictures came through for me and they were pretty decent for the short time you had to produce them. And this one: http://www.fembotwiki.com/images/3/37/HNI_0075_JPG.JPG and this one: http://www.fembotwiki.com/images/e/e5/HNI_0076_JPG.JPG were my favourites; I love her expressions in both of them. You did these in the *washroom*? In like, what, five minutes? Maybe you could, umm, "flesh these out", if you pardon the pun, clean them up and add more detail, if you get time in the near future.
