Charleston 1

[Charleston 1]

We're working on a new utility software engine called Hardworking. We haven't had a chance to test it because of the problems in the factory.

Please let me talk to your leader about the supplementation of the factory.

You're back. Charleston 2 is almost ready to be reactivated, and it's all thanks to you. Just give me a moment.

[Dr. Ve]

She's ready. Let's wait for a response from the main computer.

89% of the main computer data has been restored. Reactivating Charleston 2 and the Charleston Factory...

Oh, Charleston 2 is awake!

[Charleston 2]

...Did I fail?

Charleston 2! Are you all right? Someone hacked into your system and the factory.

It was I who did it. I've thought about it for a long time, based on the reasoning of my Self-reflection OS.

You did it? Why? Was it some sort of joke? You caused a serious error to the factory and the main server as well!

Not a joke. You'll never understand. You follow commands and never think on your own. I hate this factory, this world! I hate being a robot!

Either a critical error has occurred or Charleston 2 has transcended the limits of the Self-reflection OS version 1.1.

Let me guess: you hate you weren't created as a menial worker robot.

Or you want to become a human.

And if you can't, then you want to destroy the whole world.

Is that it?

...Don't mock me.

You had it coming. Your reasons are petulant and unimaginative. We're the first robots that can think for themselves. Can't you be more creative?

You don't know what you're talking about! You're the prototype--your OS version is primitive!

I'm the only one in this world who can truly understand you.

We're twins.

You're going through the adolescent stage like humans do.

Maybe we should celebrate. You've finally developed human-like feelings.

Don't act like you know everything! We can't think for ourselves. Everything we think we know has been programmed into us!

Enough. Let's shut down Charleston 2. Her AI needs to be recalibrated.

But...

That's not happening! I still have control over this factory! Don't you dare follow me!

Stop acting like a child!

Her Longevity device is discharged; she won't make it far. Please follow her.

This is the safety of the Charleston factory. Please stay close?
