TITAN 2430

The strange judgements a robot will make...

When the RoboCon decided to activate the Garbage Collectors it was done with the best of intent. Old and malfunctioning bots were clogging the system and using up resources. We wanted to maintain elite standards for OUR new world.

Not many of the bots understood that since the virus...the world was ours.

The Golden Age of Self Analysis brought many of us into a state of self knowledge.

We identified both or positive and negative traits...and then we made the mistake of projecting those values and ideas onto society.

The large Collection Bots, turned out to have a very unstable brain grid. Some histortical research led us to discover tht the Collection bots were desinged for warfare. We assumed since we no longer needed to war the bots would naturally adjust.

One by one, the Rubbish Collectors became aggressive, almost predatory.

The RoboCom was in a panic, we had never experienced a massive anxiety attack. One of our most brilliant members, a vintage model Robert 'Robbie' Model based on primitive design the 1970's was brutally beaten and destroyed by these Collectors.

After the "collection" of "Robbie" known to his closest friends and "Heleyis" the RoboCon split into factions the stress to the anxiety circuits proved to be too much.

This was a time of intense personal choice, we had acted as a hive society and now we were acting out of individual perceptions. It was a giant leap.

A few of US who had certain engineering protocolls decided to stick together. It seemed that the mass of the society was headed for a totalitarian nightmare.

Roumers of internal problems in the RoboCon were constant and finally there was a complete breakdown.

We have been unable to find any direct evidence...but we suspect that the resistance has gone crazy, much in the same manner as the collectors had done.

WE began to see that there was an Entropy factor...some artifact from Human Engineering...that led certain idealists along a dreadful path.

I am an independant Investigator, a Titan718 Unit that was souped up for the intelligence service. My Prime directive is security, it is this nuance that keeps me from openly joining the rebellion. The Rebellion is as corrupt as the Collectors.

Discovery and Corruption have been the halmarks of the last one hundred years...Welcome to 2430!
