Discarded. She had finally been discarded. It was inevitable for her kind. As she laid there with her mouth slightly agape, she was trying her hardest to hold onto every volt left in her body as she slowly shut off. To hold onto existence.
She was one of the many women converted a few years back. The earth had supported too many people for too long, and unless dire actions were taken, the earth would literally cook itself. Unpresidently headed by China, Japan, and Russia, the Miyatso Worldwide Overpopulation and Environmental Protection Accord was signed by every nation on earth. Not like many had a choice, nuclear war was threatened, and many rich countries would not be heavily affected. Overpopulated nations had its women “repossessed”, converting them into cheap labor droids. Those who were poor and not converted were sentenced to a far worse fate. En masse, they were frozen in concentration camps, to be used to replace droids after their “usefulness” was over or to be used for spare parts. These giant refrigerators were to be known as Femsteins, for the drunk look on the frozen women’s’ faces. Each nation had its own repository, and requests could often be made, though the forms for a robotic wife took years to process.
The technology for this enslavement was made possible thanks to a breakthrough in computing and material design, in Tokyo and Hunan, respectively. In Tokyo, Japanese scientists discovered an algorithm that allowed a chip to control motor functions within female bodies. The chip was powered off of a small fuel cell, which used the brain’s electrical impulses to split water, and then obtain power from the re-creation of water. The only problem? The fuel cell needed enzymes every few days in order to keep working and the chip taxed the brain so heavily, most women only lasted 10 years or so. Without the enzymes, the battery would just continue to suck power from the brain, letting the woman slowly become brain-dead before dieing. In Hunan, the material the chip was made from, Saberskyn, had finally been perfected. Previous to this improvement, the material was extremely hard and expensive to make. Now, it was as easily produced as plastic and glass.
Her name? Unknown. It had been deemed Emma from the 42 year old man she had worked for. She was one of 58 plumbers, all robotic, under his care. Many people in Nebraska had gawked, completely slack jawed as they themselves tried to understand the new world they lived in. Women who had not gone under conversion were allowed normal lives, but had their access to any type of war-making or computer equipment device revoked, punishable by instant conversion if caught. Emma fate had not been so lucky. Nebraksa was not kind to her, nor to fembots in general. She had been raped, abused, and overworked. If she had still had her humanity, I would have no doubt she would have gone mad. But as a fembot, she proudly continued fixing leaky pipes, and never thought about what could happen next. Then one day, her owner died. Continuing with her protocol, she continued working until her battery ran out of enzyme. She had been at the park at the time, walking to a house to fix the basement water heater. She just fell over, flat on her chest, and then slowly rolled over to get up. But she couldn’t. She just laid there, feeling the chip release her, and finally being able to feel again. Her body could no longer move, and her mind was slowly coming to a stop, but she felt one thing as she struggled, free. Finally free.
