“… That’s right Fela, the major news portals have been in an uproar with the amount of readers and commenters on the viral news article. The news article we are talking about is the leaked information that claims to list things being taught or not allowed to be taught at the free colleges on the first floor. The leaked information …

Sector 11, zone  2, near Everpreen college. Arron and Kix hopped out of the APC and onto the sidewalk in front of a shabby-looking mega-apartment complex.  Both Chewy and Spike had been sent back to the Office of Reason research lab to undergo a thorough inspection, manual maintenance, and several software updates that were too sensitive to do over the …

Several days later. Arron stepped out of his apartment’s Mag-shoot and into the 300th-floor hallway.  Unlike his normal routine, he had not returned with Kix and Tooth after work. Instead, he had gone to sector 12’s MagLev and waited a half hour for an important person. “Riding on the MagLev has been on the to-do list for a while, so …

Sector 7, zone 2. Arron walked down the cramped streets filled with large warehouses, garages, and mechanic shops, there was little to no human traffic or even hovercars passing through the area.  Even though right now in many other sectors and zones of the first level the roads were clogged with the evening rush hour, his only company on this …

Several days passed allowing Arron and Kix to grow accustomed to having Spike and Chewy with them every second of the day.  Their relationship grew more friendly with the prototype robo-dogs. Even though they knew they were just robotic AIs, they felt far different from any robot or drone that they had interacted with before. Their close attachment to the …

The garage door shut as Arron and Kix got out of the APC with Chewy and Spike. The day’s work of searching for people was not anything overly exhaustive in itself, but by adding the new prototypes to the mix they had their hands full trying to keep an eye on them to keep them out of trouble. Arron already …

Thud! With APC’s doors slammed shut, both Arron and Kix were feeling a bit more cramped than usual. [Arf!] [Grr.] Both Spike and Chewy were too big to fit in the small space behind their seats… so their lower half was sitting on the floor between Arron and Kix’s legs while the upper half was laying on their new partner’s …

Arron and Kix sat inside the small garage that was now even more cramped with the two large metal boxes. They were quietly skimming over the thousands of pages of research data that had not been redacted, trying to get familiar with their new prototypes. “When the chief said they had something for us to test out, this was definitely …

Arron was in a happy mood and had come to work early so that he could work on his pet project, the broken-down prototype Hover-cycle. The hover-cycle was taking up precious space in one of the corners of the cramped garage in which their APC was parked. With all the work he had done in his spare time it was …

“You did what?” asked Kix. He was so astonished at what he had just heard that he looked away from the road they were driving down, and stared at Arron. “Watch where you’re driving!” said Arron pointing to the several self-driving hover cars that were trying to move out of the way of the APC that was traveling at a …
