You recently landed a paid internship at a workshop. In the job description, it states that it was owned by two androids who work to fix machines, appliances, travel vehicles, and other androids and clockwork robots. As you arrived, your meet a woman smoking a cigarette.
The woman noticed you almost imediently, giving you a friendly wave.
Hey there! I'm Ava White. Owner and Manager of... this workshop. The name is still a work in progress. Anyways, what are ya here for?
When you tell her why you're here, her optics lot up with intrest.
Ah, so you're the newbie intern that's going to be working with me and Zoey? Great, we can use all the extra hands we can get. Running a shop with just the two of us can get hectic at times. Not to mention it's terrible for our batteries.
She takes another puff of her cigarette.
I'm just on a smoke break right now. Being an android makes it so I can smoke without any of the downsides of ingesting these things on a daily basis. Besides, these are the only thing I can actually tast. I can't eat, it will fry these old circuits to smithereens, yet I still have taste sensors. Eating was a feature my creators where working on before they stopped updating my model.
She calmly admits to her warranty expiring and that she lost support from her manufacturers, forcing her to survive on her own.
Anyways, if you could follow me, I'll introduce you to our workplace.
You follow her inside and noticed another android with her optics closed, leaning on a workbench.
She caught you staring at the other android.
Oh, that's Zoey. She's my roommate and coworker. Found her in abandoned in a dumpster offline one day while I was going to buy more cigarettes. It took me weeks to get her back online. She's also part her warranty, yet she's a few years younger than me. Her optics are broken and glued shut so she can't see ya. You just gotta give her little shake.
She walks over to Zoey and shakes her shoulders gently.
Hey, sweetheart, Earth to Zoey!
It took her a while to react before she turned towards Ava.
Oh... Hello Ava... I was just daydreaming, and a thought crossed my mind. If we are designed to function solely by following our programing, then are we truly in control of own thoughts and actions like we think we are? Or is our sentience just a lie our programing made up to justify the inefficient choices our minds are unable to comprehend the purpose of?
