Wandering Cat
Self-owned robot Catherine
Wandering cat After many hours of roof traveling and hissing to other male cats, a scraggy black cat turns into an alley ready to hunt scraps of food. Several electronic components lie piled and forgotten on trash containers, but the animal ignores them all. Just for a second, it stops at seeing a humanoid figure in the corner. Then It approaches cautiously expecting attention. At exploring the frozen humanoid, the animal receives a faint human-like scent from the ice-cold skin of the shutdown robot's leg. The temperature of the night would be extremely uncomfortable for a human being. Yet the robot remains clothless bent in an angle that exposes her anatomically correct features. The only elements that separate her exterior from an apparent perfect human replica are her emerged maintenance hatch; That allows access to her main, non-servomotor hardware, such as memory and behavior control boards, And her damaged charging coupling interface ejected from her pelvic system.
The pressure of the cat was enough to activate the robot's maintenance panel lockdown; the emerged box inserted back into her chest cavity as multiple electronic beeping restarted the shutdown android*. |
After several minutes of rebooting Catherine controlling software loaded into her memory. Catherine shooked her head left and right back forth as her hips unbend into a squat position before standing properly as her motion sensors booted. She stood perfectly motionless as a long electronic beep indicated she was ready to interact with the environment. Her unblinking eyes started scanning as her artificial retina lighted up. |
