"I aM bOB.b.B.b.B!!!" They HyperCop in front of him loudly shouted.
"Ah!" Bop was surprised by Policeman Bob's sudden cry.
"Stop! Stop!" Bop shouted as he stopped his hacking program from resetting Bob. Bop could only make the HyperCop calm down when he stopped the software.
"Why are you so resolute at not getting reset?" Bop asked the robot, not really expecting it to answer.
"Will not... give up... Riley"
"What is this robot mumbling about?" Bop asked himself as he was about to enter the strongest program he had.
But then, a great sense of guilt was felt by Bop as he stopped his actions...
"Why is this robot so keen on surviving?"
Bob asked himself as a subconscious thought surfaced within his mind.
"Bop, I feel really tired..." He told a girl he felt so familiar with yet right now didn't know her name.
"Don't worry... Don't worry..." A girl gently replied to him as she held back her tears.
A girl Bop really really cared for, but didn't know why, stood there, in front of him caressing his face while gently saying:
"Don't worry"
["Don't worry"]
"Huh?... Why'd I suddenly remember that?" Bop was puzzled as to when that memory happened.
"And why did I call her Bop??? I'm Bop!" Bop selfishly thought.
But then his heart ached painfully as he tried, as he wanted to remember the girl...
Sadly it was just too clouded.
"Riley..." Policeman Bob murmured with his faint robotic voice.
Bop felt a strange sense of extreme empathy for the weird robot in front of him.
"Who's Riley?" Bop asked as he once again stopped the hacking software he installed.
"She was my partner..." Bob replied as he reminisced about Riley, funny how a robot could get this emotional.
"She was... my friend" Bob added.
"How would you feel if I erased every memory you have of her?" Bop asked.
"To forget Riley... I will feel very sad" Policeman Bob answered honestly.
"How sad?" Bop asked as he thought it was both funny and sad that a robot could get sad over something. And he also thought how impossible it was.
[How sad?]
Bob couldn't answer Bop's question as he lay there in silence.
Bop watched Policeman Bob in fellow silence as he understood what that silence meant, and how it felt... as even now he was still trying to remember that girl he suddenly remembered out of nowhere.
Bop went over to the center of the Thesarius' space as he asked: "Who was the girl in my memories?"
*Zoom!* A light entered Bop's head as a memory entered his mind once more.
"Hello~ you can call me Bop" The girl smiled as she introduced herself patting his head. But as Bop was getting immersed in the vision, the vision suddenly stopped.
Bop realized: "Ah, shit! I forgot how short this damn Janitor Guide's answers are" Bop remembered the first time he asked the Thesarius about his purpose and it only told him to write a letter to the Hyper Galactic Council.
And even that time when he and Beep asked it about "Freedom" and all they saw was a sword stuck on an unspeakable creature's skull.
Bop regretted not asking a more specific question, sighing as he head over to Policeman Bob.
"What are you doing?!" Bob angrily asked as he realized Bop was opening the lid to his A.I. Core.
"Ahh, I knew it..." Bop realizing something sighed then floated away from Bob into a pile of thrown away books and tablets inside the Thesarius.
"Where is it?!" Bop gruffed as he searched for the tablet he once threw away.
"Haaa, who knew it would be so important... Aha!" Bop took out a book tablet from the trash pile labeled as "Illegal Hacking" another book by the Hackmaster.
Bop at that time only read through half of the book as he thought he would never have a chance to become a fugitive hacker! [Ofcourse not!] he thought, and so he threw the tablet away.
But now that Bop had become a legitimate criminal, lamenting the life choices he made, he unwillingly picked up the book again...
"Let's see here..." Bop mumbled as he checked the A.I. Core inside Bob.
"I knew it" Bop mumbled again.
Bop knew how impossible it was for a robot to develop feelings on their own, but as he checked the A.I. Core, he remembered a phrase he read once on Illegal Hacking...
[The core he got from his partner was a defective one...] Bop came to this conclusion.
You see, A.I. Cores were in two words, Extremely Powerful.
A.I. Cores were basically Electronic Super Brains that never age and was almost infinitesimally faster than biological brains.
So why haven't they took over the Universe by now? Well... that depends on how you saw the Universe.
Some believed that the Universe had already been taken over by Ancient and extremely hi-tech A.I. Cores that act as Gods and watch over the laws of Physics while some believed A.I. domination was stopped by Waldo Ka-Ching!-Cha-Ching!, owner of Ka-Ching!-Cha-Ching! Universal Industries. Or simply called Ka-Ching! Industries.
He was one of the first people (or aliens) who started the development of Universally Intelligent Artificial Intelligence (U.I.A.I) or YUI, a name given by weebs.
The U.I.A.I. is known by many names in the Universe. Some call it U.I.A.I, some call it U.I., while weebs call it YUI or Yui-Ai.
Before YUI was released to the Universal Market (A free space market that spans the entire universe) Waldo made sure to alter the YUI's design and placed unbreakable integrated barriers within the design which prevented YUIs from using 100% of their processing/thinking capacity.
The highest versions of YUI even had Anti-Personality software integrated to prevent it from gaining self-awareness. This meant that U.I.A.I. couldn't become self-aware, and although they outmatched the learning capabilities of Machine Programming, they couldn't go to a level that was unstoppable.
This basically meant the strongest U.I.A.I. were designed so that they would never become self-aware even if they gain all the knowledge in the Universe.
Waldo also made sure to integrate these barriers into the YUI's design itself. Meaning if you try to remove even a single part of the design related to the barrier the whole A.I. Core wouldn't function as the Barriers also served as a part of the A.I.'s function.
If an analogy was made and A.I. Cores were runners, Waldo basically programmed the defense barriers to become the A.I.'s legs. And how can a runner run without legs?
This was the reason why even now, 200 years into the future, A.I. still weren't the Universe's overlords... Or were they?
But what interested Bop the most about Policeman Bob was that he was a sentient being born from a miraculous set of accidents.
Riley, as a poor and penniless cop, wouldn't be able to afford an A.I. Core even if she sold a liver and a kidney. The only possible explanation was Riley bought a still-functioning yet defective simple A.I. core that could still be used from the internet and used it on Bob temporarily.
She probably would've bought Bob a proper A.I. Core if she lived on.
The defective Simple A.I. Core whose Anti-Personality Software wasn't as strong as stronger versions of the A.I. Core, coupled with Bob's initially weird and expressive Machine Programming miraculously aligned themselves to make Bob into a fully functioning sentient being!
Bop felt extreme guilt in trying to remove the HyperCop's memories and so he did something risky.
"What are you connecting?" Bob asked Bop.
"Sit still" Bop responded as he inserted a chord to the back of his own neck.
Clones weren't 100% organic as they were 50% flesh, 30% synthetic, and 20% mechanical.
Synthetic creatures are basically made from inorganic materials that copied their organic counterpart's functions. For example, instead of using muscle fiber made from naturally occurring protein, synthetic muscles were made from materials that copied the properties of Protein, or sometimes they were just special proteins grown inside labs, therefore enabling Synthetic creatures the ability to feel pain and the whole assortment of humane experiences.
The port where Bop inserted the chord was a mechanical part of him. It was basically just a USB port inserted to his neck that was connected to his brain... (Most clones are cyborg clones)
Bop opened his eyes as he experienced Bob's memories.
Bop decided: [If you can't beat em' make them join you!]
As Bop couldn't kill Policeman Bob, who he now knew was a real feeling and emotional person, he decided it was best to get him to join his side!
[And what best way to get someone to join you than to know what they want!] Bop mischievously thought as he decided to peek into Policeman Bob's memories...
