Chapter One - Special Robot

When did the merge happen? Some say it started with the NASA Ghost O.S. that was created to work with Microsoft Explorer, Google Android, Apple Safari and other Operating Logicel protocols. The tech world was still feeling a sense of loss from the death of their beloved Steve Jobs. While it seems that the whole world grasped the enormity of the loss, so- called techno geeks (that love the moniker geeks) were especially mourning with deep sincerity at this sad milestone. Perhaps the sadness is why no one at NASA noticed that a robot, running on the Exponentially Learning Ghost Protocol Operating System, seemed to have a gleam in its simulated eyes. RISW , which happens to also include the most advanced artificial intelligence known to man , had a gleam in its cyborg eyes that was strange and very noticeable- If someone was paying attention. Jerry picked up a vitamin water for himself and the special water for RISW. Jerry always got a kick from watching RISW drink the "special water". Made up of nano chips so miniscule they resembled water, the special water was actually  not a liquid in the true sense of the word, but a new texture of nano circuitry that boosted RISW's memory banks and allowed for super sonic computing. Jerry smiled as RISW "drank" the special water. This took his mind off the sting of pain he felt from the passing of an icon. An icon he wanted to work with, but now was not possible. As Jerry left the room, he felt a slight chill on his neck. Like he was being watched. Watched, not from the large amount of cameras in the room but from something else. After a long second, Jerry just brushed off the feeling. The shiny eyes followed him and appeared to shed a tear. Not a real tear-but a stream of information that seemed to simulate flesh as it trickled down RISW's metallic face. Special water for a special robot. As Jerry walked away from the building, he also walked away from the chance to make a difference in what was to come. And it was coming very soon.
