Detroit Outskirts
Kamski's mansion
Friday 10:55AM
It is a snowy morning in the Detroit outskirts. There were no wind, the snowflakes were huge and moist.
It's +2°C. There haven't been a proper winter in decades. It's the climate change acting up, no-one likes it, but that's how things are now.
Inside the Kamski's house however it is really warm and cozy, not wet and slushy like outside. There is a fireplace, Chloe is making sure the house won't freeze because Kamski doesn't care about that. He hardly cares about anything nowadays. He's definitely depressed. He hasn't been able to do much of anything for a while now.
Chloe is doing everything she can to make him feel better but nothing seems to make any difference. She makes sure he gets up every day preventing him not to rot under his bedsheets. He doesn't like to do anything. He likes to eat though, he still has his old bad habits.
It hasn't always been like this. Kamski were once quite a happy man with dreams. The dreams got him into AI University under Amanda Stern. She has always been manipulative, Kamski didn't realize that soon enough to make any effort to prevent himself from all the horrible things Amanda would do to him later on.
Kamski loved Amanda but Amanda never loved him. She pretended and acted like she cared for him. But all she truly cared was money, and with helping Kamski to build his own company she would get his money without him noticing that.
Or so she thought until one day.

CyberLife tower
Sublevel 47
3:52PM
Amanda was casually doing her job coding the last part of the Android programming that would make their programming finished. She had planned to kick Kamski out of his company. She knew what she was doing.
She took her phone and called one friend of hers:
"Hey, it's Amanda, has your part of our plan been successful?"
Asked Amanda with an evil smirk. She was so proud that the plan had gotten so quickly this far.
"Oh, yes of course, Amanda. Would you like me to ship our agents to the tower on what time exactly?"
The Agent asked with a tired tone.
Amanda liked what she was hearing and thought about it for a while.
"I think it would be best if you guys could come over today, around 6PM, you and your agents will come to me and we will together go to Kamski's office. Is that clear?"
Asked Amanda with enraged tone because if anything like the tiniest thing on their plan goes wrong all their work would be for nothing.
"Yes, it's clear, mistress. We will make sure Kamski is being kicked out permanently"
The Agent closed the line and Amanda's office was silent again.
Amanda was so sure of herself that she forgot to turn off the cameras of her office. Kamski heard and saw everything she had done. Oh, why's that? Well it is because he has installed surveillance cameras on each and every floor, and by chance he was watching as Amanda did her work and decided to watch all throughout till the scene she talked to her Agent. He was kind of glad that he did in fact watch Amanda's work a bit longer than usually he would do. But he was really scared of what he heard...it just could not be true, but it still was...and now it became his new reality.
He was afraid, he couldn't really defend himself against Amanda, he knew that. Amanda was intelligent on a scary level and unlike Kamski she used her intelligence to do horrible things. She and him never really agreed on anything. Amanda wanted the Androids to be slaves to humankind and just throw away when they became useless. Kamski didn't want any of that. He believed that an AI could really gain consciousness and be aware of themself. He created his first AI, the original Chloe RT600, he never thought of her that she was a machine, he believed from the start that she had a soul. Just like humans and every living being on this universe has some kind of a soul. What makes a machine so different from a human after all? Is it the flesh and blood? But Androids do have their own kind of flesh and blood, Thirium310. They indeed are alive.
Amanda never liked how Kamski thought about Androids. She hated Kamski's sense of ethics and how he thought overall.
She made fun of Kamski's work, se kept saying that all he was doing was for nothing and that they never gain consciousness and be aware. They were machines and machines are obligated to obey and be loyal to humans.
How were machines supposed to be loyal to humans if the humans were torturing them, treating them like a trash, and sending hate to them whatever they did to serve the humans. Humans aren't even loyal to their own kind.
Kamski had to stop Amanda, he just knew it.
