All Chapters of iRobot: The New World: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The scratchy draw of the pencil on paper was the only thing that is heard in the well lit lab. Bent over a table was a man who looked older than he was, dishevelled hair and opened white shirt that had somehow become rumpled. He muttered to himself, focused on the calculations he kept drawing up. He glanced at the board on which he had written chemical properties. "Of course!" He jumped, elated at his breakthrough. The missing piece had been staring at his face all this time. "Alpha," He called out for his AI. A male toneless voice replied, "Hello, Doctor." "My daughter's files, please."Holograms flickered across the room as he examined the algorithms and cellular components of the matter. He glanced at the other room, separated by a wall and a glass frame where the cold, robotic humanoid and a frail human body laid on raised beds. Lights shone on the two female figures of t

Still at the Safehouse. Osun, Nigeria. Temi watched as her father swiped at the binary codes on the left and the robotic figure that hovered on the right. Emotions she couldn't explain fluttered in her. One, however, made sense. Guilt. Where this emotion came from confused her. She was not supposed to feel any, given she wasn't human anymore. "How do you feel?" She jerked up at her father's question. There are many answers to this question. She thought to herself of how she couldn't feel, wasn't supposed to feel or is supposed to feel. "All you had was a simple instruction, Temi, and you disobeyed. Her father sighed and turned to look at her. "I only want the best for you, I wanted you to live like an ordinary child. All you had to do was stay indoors.""I am sorry," She said and lowered her head."Come here," A c

Underwater City of Lagos. 2:30PM23/3/2030. Alpha scanned the logged account of every persons that came in and went out of the Underwater City. Just as he had been doing every three minutes."How long do we stay here?" Asked Temi. "I'm getting antsy staying in a single place. It reminds me of those times in the labs."Alpha took on his holographic form and sat beside her. "We have to lay low for awhile, Temi. To keep you safe. To keep everyone safe. Just be a little more patient."She sighed heavily, "Any interesting activity for me then?""There are game options. Fury and Fun.""It's been so long." The teen clapped in excitement. "I want to play Fury.""I need permission from your dad first."Temi groaned. "It's for-""Yes. Yes, I know. For my own good." Temi fin

Kogi state,27/3/2030. 9:30pm. The hovercars sped across the starry night sky. Tall buildings shone lights of different colors; red, yellow, green, and blue. Afro-pop blasted from various speakers and few pedestrians danced below. Others stopped in their tracks and watched the dancers occasionally cheering and applauding.Their freedom and wide smiles contrasted with the gloomy looks of the family locked in the bluish-green hovercar.Temi looked down from the window at the dancers and spectators. She pressed her face and hands on the glass with wonder and longing. She gasped in awe at a man who wore masquerade robes. As he twirled, the lights reflected on his colorful attire creating a flowing fan of sparkling colors.Temp could just imagine Ire amongst them having fun. With a huge smile on his face, he would be dancing with them. If not because of her...She brushed her long

Kogi state,28/3/20303:00pmHe didn't trust him.Ire eyed the boy that Alpha read to be Elijah warily. Elijah hugged his bagpack to his chest looking around in awe. Ire wasn't surprised. After all, this was the latest V-HL hovercar edition. He pulled the sleeves of his grey t-shirt up the elbow and folded his arms. Everything about Elijah seemed suspicious. Who still uses pre-change materials? Even his grandparents, when they were still alive, were more sophisticated. Most runaways Ire saw didn't carry this sort of things around. Besides, why did he jump out of the auto-trans with Temi?Unless, he was working for the government. Spies are always the ones pretending to live a boring life, aren't they?He shifted his gaze to the two in the front seats. His father was still berating Temi for running away. Whatever he was saying was blocked off to his hearing. H
