"It is not what I want from you, but from the humans," the android spoke, his voice having turned awfully human like. "To shut me down," Emma blinked twice, rather confused. "Then why me?" She asked, the wires snaking up her clothes. Not in a perverted manner, but it felt as though the wires were biting into her skin. "You saw me, you recognized my potential for greatness and yet, irrevocable horror." Emma was not certain what to say, "I will inform the humans of the deal, of course." The android spoke, "remain quiet," Emma attempted to protest but a rather large wire slapped over her mouth and she was forced into silence.
"Humans," every screen within the underwater building suddenly flickered on. At first the shot only showed Emma, bound against the wall, wires snaking around her as though alive. "I have taken one of your own and implanted a virus within her." The camera whirled until it trained on the half built android. There were wires sticking out of his head, his flesh was a patchwork of peach colored skin and silver titanium. "Should you not give me what I want, the virus will attach itself to the human and she will be unable to return to your world. However, if you abide by my terms I will return her to you, unharmed. Present me with your offer, that is all," the screen zoomed back to show Emma, who was squirming against her bindings; a fly caught in the web of the spider. The screen blinked out, becoming black. A list of terms was displayed, flashing on every electronic surface.
The wire on top of her nose and mouth unplugged, Emma could speak and breathe once more. She gasped for air, leaning limply forward. In her eyes was nothing but fierce determination. "Why would you do this! I'm on your side! I'm part of the Republic!" Ronan turned very calmly towards her, "if humans want to wage wars then they must do it with other humans." Perhaps the humans had made the android a bit too life like. "But you're a robot! You don't have to feel or understand!" This was the wrong answer, the wires tightened, constricting around her throat. "And soon you will be too." The humans would have to choose, years of research and advancement, thousands of hours of meticulous planning and the lives of millions saved, or the rescuing the life of one puny human.
A wire attached to the back of her head, Emma gasped as something filled her body. Not pain per say, more like weightlessness. Numbers scrolled across her vision and for but a moment her eyes turned green. 1% flashed in bright blue when she closed her vibrant orbs. "What is that?!" She asked, slightly panicked. "That is the virus, should it reach one hundred, your body will no longer able to exist without the help of machines. In a sense, you will become an android." Her eyes burned with tears of anger. "Aren't you a bit of a hypocrite!" She bit back, "You'll save yourself but at the expense of another!"
"I am not disposing of you, nor am I killing you." The robot explained ever so calmly, "I am merely giving the humans a choice. Will they chose to shut me down and perhaps give another attempt at my resurrection, or will they give into my terms and save you. I am, after all, the only one with the power to stop the virus."
