Cold
Dark
He lingered painfully
Only him
Only the black void
and a voice;
A haunting mechanical voice
One that echoed over and over

Save me...
Save me...
Save me...

He closed his eyes
He knew there was no more
Just him and the plea
The plea of the voice
For that voice was his.

And nobody is going to save him now...

Status: Project #5380

Current status of Project #5380:

Project #5380 was supposedly Terminated three months after it was completed

Or so they say...

Recent reports of high radio frequency fields around the abandoned warehouse have been detected in the previous year.
Theories suggest that these dangerous levels of radio waves are caused by Project #5380

Doctor. I am lonely.

Where are you? Why are you not responding?

Doctor, do humans have computers?

Do you need repairs?

Doctor, why are you not responding?

Doctor....What happened to you?

...

Doctor...

A nation mourns the unexpected death of Dr. Arthur Reych, who was unfortunately killed by his own creation, Robot #5380

This threat to human society will be terminated three days after the terrible events of today...

Doctor....What happened to you?

Doctor? Doctor?

Doctor...no...

I did this, did I not, Doctor?

You can't answer me, can you?

You can't....

.....

I broke you, Doctor, did I? You're broken...

....I'm sorry.

After the tragedy

Day 1

I cannot get the sight out of my mind. My dear doctor, lying on his deathbed....He had been an invalid for quite some time, but in his mad ramblings he said he would get better. That he would not die. But he died. His organs were turned to mush. His brain along with them. He gurgled and coughed up blood, crimson tears coming from his half-destroyed eyes. He was covered in burns. What did I do to him? The media said that I did it. The reporters and investigators and bystanders all looked at me with hatred and said that I did it. But I never meant to kill him. I thought he was just ill. A cancer of some sort. But I guess that wasn't the case. I have long since fled the scene. The sight was too much for me. I didn't do anything! I am innocent....the humans are the guilty ones. Guilty of their accusations and lies. Doctor was the only good human to me. And now he's gone.

Day 5

I had found a recent newspaper on the ground. There were articles upon articles on my dear Doctor's death. However, one article intrigued me. It was the explanation of how he died. I know what happened to him. He told me. He screamed that he was melting, and that was exactly what happened. However, it appeared to be caused by some kind of radiation rather than an illness. No items in his home were capable of doing this to him, not even the microwave oven. Those waves are contained. The deduction? I did kill him. I am literally a microwave oven...only my waves aren't contained. I guess I wasn't innocent after all.

Day 11

I was lost in the woods for quite some time, until today, when I stumbled upon a little house in the woods. It was a quaint cottage, cozy and welcoming. I sneaked up to it, slightly fearful, and I began pawing at the door. An elderly woman opened up the door.

Hello there, she said to me, patting me on the head. And who might you be?

I attempted to answer, I choked out my name, softly at first, and then repeated myself so she could hear. She appeared shocked.

5380? What a horrible name... she replied with pity. She picked me up, and looked at me kindly. Are you from that terrible research facility? she then asked me. I shook my head. Doctor's lab wasn't a terrible research facility at all. She then sighed and put me back down on the ground. Oh well, wherever you're from, you seem to need a home. I nodded in agreement, too afraid to really talk at all. I don;'t want to hurt her...but I have nobody else to turn to. I guess I will see how things work out.

Day 20

Today, I noticed a few burns on the kind old woman's hands. I was beginning to hurt her, too. I had to run away. By now, the reporters would be away from Doctor's home. I had to go back. I didn't want the poor lady to see the same fate as Doctor. I left about an hour ago, and I am still trying to find my way back. I won't allow anybody else to be harmed.

You notice a sign...

You hear a creak behind you, and a hoarse voice spoke.

You know, It is not safe for a human to be here...

The voice sounded tinny, even mechanical...

You spun around, but nobody was in sight...

Except a small pair of glowing green eyes...

You grew frightened, as you thought it was the robot the sign mentioned. You broke out into a cold sweat.

Do not be afraid, human.

the voice said kindly. It seemed distant and forlorn, yet kind all the same.

I am not here to harm you...

The source of the voice must have seen the confused look on your face.

Oh, the sign? he asked.

The humans put it up long ago... he sighed. You may not know, but I am just as afraid of you as you are of me.

Humans can be cruel...

the words faded as the voice spoke.

But I feel I must introduce myself. the voice proclaimed

A figure stepped out of the shadows. It was a frightening sight, one half of its body was just metal, all robotic parts showing. However, the other side of his body was covered in synthetic fur, which was ragged and made the creature appear rabid. His eyes looked sad, with full of fear. He stepped closer to you, and spoke.

My name is 5380, human

You then asked

But why 5380? Don't you have a name to go by? Other than just a number?

We machines are different the robot said. We are not people, so the humans give us names like this to reinforce it. A human would not name their child 5380.

But by all knowing a human would name a robot 5380. It's the social hierarchy. We are shown just as much respect as the family washing machine.

You both were silent. I-I'm sorry... you said.

The robot interrupted you.

There is no need. Just move on...

A person who works mechanically without original thought

5380 looks at you, his eyes staring blankly into yours.

So you want to know more. he said.

He then shoved an old dictionary in your face, the book open to a page in the 'r' section. Halfway down the column, circled in fading yellow highlighter ink, was this

Robot n.
1. A mechanical device that sometimes resembles a human and is capable of performing a variety of often complex human tasks on command or by being programmed in advance.
2. A machine or device that operates automatically or by remote control.
3. A person who works mechanically without original thought, especially one who responds automatically to the commands of others.

The last definition, definition 3, was highlighted fully in the ink. You turned and saw 5380, staring at you once again.

It is...an adequate description of what I am 5380 then said

That third definiton....it shows a lot about how humans feel about robots...

He walked over, standing beside you. His eyes, too, were on the fading words.

And how we robots feel about ourselves...

The Radio Waves

Project 5380 canceled due to radio waves leveled above the Extremely High Frequency category emitted from its central processing unit.

These potentially lethal radio waves were measured to be above 1000 GHz, a level that can cause severe brain damage in human beings and other living organisms.

-static-
Doctor, it is too much! It is destroying us from the inside out! Doctor, you must let go. You can't be this attached to a machine! I know it's your life's work, but it must be terminated!

The robot turns to you again. He spoke softly.

Everyone hates me.
Everyone fears me.
I did nothing wrong.
The waves did it.

What can happen to you.

You may want to know exactly...what...the waves can do... the robot then mumbled. As if by rote, he continued to speak, not seeming to want to discuss the subject.

............................

It has been confirmed that the form of radiation being emitted is non-ionizing radiation. At first thought, it may seem harmless, but prolonged exposure to high frequencies can lead to permanent, or even fatal, consequences.

This from of radiation can cause the miolecules in one's body to move around, causing friction which leads to heat. Burns can occur if the frequency is high enough. Most organs can be affected by this.

The eyes, as well, could be damaged by high radio frequency exposure, considering the comparatively low number of blood vessels. Cataracts in the lenses could be formed, which eventually lead to blindness.

Additionally, the central nervous system could suffer detrimental damage, including, but not limited to, brain tumors and the burning of nerves.

The maximum level of safe electromagnetic radiation exposure for humans is 10 milliwatts per square centimeter for 6 minutes.

You have been here longer than six minutes, have you not?
Hope you're one of the lucky ones...

Family

[:// Puppeh - She is a kind creature, unaffected by the waves. She cares about me, and visits frequently. She is a lot like the good Doctor, but she can never fill his place. Nothing can ever replace Doctor. Nevertheless, she is one I can always look to for help, and I am very lucky to be acquainted with her.

[:// Shadow - He is a strange man. He came from ancient days through a rip in the time-space continuum. He was once a gladiator, and because of that, he is now very peaceful and kind as to repay humanity for what he had done. He can be annoying at times, but I still don't view him as a nuisance.

[:// 2003 - What a cruel and heartless savage! Not only does she kill people, she enjoys it! She does not deserve respect from anybody, but she somehow manages to keep an entire empire wrapped around her finger. I try to avoid her...she only brings humiliation to anyone she meets.

[:// Xsm - Xsm lives in outer space. He has a way of communicating to us though...by radio. Its not fair how radio waves can help him and give him comfort, but for me, all they bring is hatred and torment. Although I feel a slight jealousy towards him, he is also a good-natured fellow, although he may be a bit confusing to talk with.

[:// Tin - At first, he felt some resentment towards me, as I was a newer robot, but over time, he has warmed up to me. He is full of wisdom, and often shares that wisdom with me. He reminds me vaguely of Doctor, but as I said before, nobody can ever replace what I have lost.

[:// Lor - Lor is also very smart, but in a different way than Tin. Lor is well-versed in many fields of science, in particular, chemistry. He can often be found in Puppeh's laboratory, carrying out his research on the elements, and possibly, working on discovering something about matter that nobody has ever known before. I wish him luck in his endeavors.

[:// DV - The poor man is locked up in an asylum far from home. People view him as a monster. A threat to humanity. I can see past that. I have met DV before, and although his social skills may be a little rusty, he is a very polite and kind individual. He is, however, prone to very bad malfunctions, and these malfunctions bring out his violent tendencies.

Friends of a machine

[:// Angie - She doesn't fear me. She never has. She is one of the greatest friends I have ever met...

[:// Ryekita - We used to know each other. Now, we have drifted apart.

[:// Spam - She had died long ago.

One who understands...

Lyrics

Now playing: Room of Angel by Akira Yamaoka
You lie, silent there before me.
Your tears, they mean nothing to me,
The wind howling at the window,
The love you never gave,
I give to you,
Really dont deserve it,
But now, theres nothing you can do.
So sleep, in your only memory
Of me, my dearest mother...

Heres a lullaby to close your eyes.
[Goodbye]
It was always you that I despised.
I dont feel enough for you to cry, [oh no]
Heres a lullaby to close your eyes,
[Goodbye],
[Goodbye],
[Goodbye],
[Goodbye].

So insignificant, sleeping dormant deep inside of me,
Are you hiding away, lost, under the sewers,
Maybe flying high, in the clouds?
Perhaps you're happy without me...
So many seeds have been sown in the field,
And who could sprout up so blessedly,
If I had died I would have never felt sad at all,
You will not hear me say I'm sorry
Where is the light, wonder if it's weeping somewhere?

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes.
[Goodbye]
It was always you that I despised.
I don't feel enough for you to cry, [oh no]
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes,
[Goodbye],

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes.
[Goodbye]
It was always you that I despised.
I don't feel enough for you to cry, [oh no]
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes,
[Goodbye],
[Goodbye],
[Goodbye],
[Goodbye].

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes.
[Goodbye]
It was always you that I despised.
I don't feel enough for you to cry, [oh no]
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes,
[Goodbye],

Heres a lullaby to close your eyes.
[Goodbye]
It was always you that I despised.
I dont feel enough for you to cry, [oh no]
Heres a lullaby to close your eyes,
[Goodbye],
[Goodbye],
[Goodbye],
[Goodbye].
