Each burst briefly illuminated the tense faces of applicants queuing up in the poorly lit hallway. People around her covered their ears, trying to block out the deafening wail of the alarm as two uniformed men dragged the traitor toward the steel-framed door.<\/p><p>Another one caught.<\/p><p>He wouldn\u2019t survive.<\/p><p>Belle\u2019s heart rate picked up speed. The palms of her hands began to sweat despite the cool draft that permeated the damp corridors.<\/p><p>Government properties still had central heating and proper lighting. Most of the time. Making the aspirants uncomfortable was simply part of the testing procedure. Discomfort and chaos were known to disrupt concentration\u2014an essential requirement if you ever hoped to beat the Reader.<\/p><p>Not that this was possible in the first place, at least according to its creator. The machine was infallible; a myriad of failed deception attempts was a testament to that.<\/p><p>Belle wouldn\u2019t fail.<\/p><p>She wouldn\u2019t let herself be distracted by the cacophony of shuffling and hemming that grew louder with every inch the line of applicants moved closer to the anteroom. Nor by the pungent smell of sweat reeking through the hallways.<\/p><p>This close to the time and place that decided their fate, people were at a breaking point.<\/p><p>Not her.<\/p><p>Belle let her training take over.<\/p><p>Composure. Confidence. Control.<\/p><p>She steadied her breathing. <em>If anyone can do this, it\u2019s you.<\/em> Her brother\u2019s voice sounding through her mind boosted her determination. Connor had always believed in her, had pushed her to do the same.<\/p><p>When she felt sufficiently composed, Belle visited the collection of her latest memories coming from the tiny device embedded in her brain. Fake memories of a dead woman she had never met. Memories that would buy her a ticket to the Savior.<\/p><p><em>Humanity\u2019s last hope<\/em>. Belle had always deemed this description a joke. There was no hope left for most of the nine billion people on this planet. At least not if the upper echelon had its way. When the big one hit, only a few hundred souls would be safe aboard the generation ship. Everyone else would have a front-row seat to the apocalypse.<\/p><p>Belle was here to change that.<\/p><p>\u201cNext.\u201d<\/p><p>A surge of adrenaline bolted through her body. This was it.<\/p><p>\u201cName?\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cDr. Eliza Petrow.\u201d<\/p><p>A black-haired woman typed the name into a laptop. Belle focused on her hands flying over the keyboard, and the clicking sound drowned out the surrounding noise.<\/p><p>That\u2019s when Belle turned the switch. She immersed herself in a world where she really was Dr. Eliza Petrow, the late engineer who was supposed to spearhead their mission aboard the Savior.<\/p><p>Connor had always called it Belle\u2019s greatest gift\u2014the ability to live in her creations, to completely embrace the universe she had created with her unique imagination.<\/p><p>Useless. That was what Belle had thought of her talent after Cnap Mor\u2019s cataclysmic force was disclosed. There was no place for creativity in a world hurtling toward Armageddon.<\/p><p>But then the real Dr. Eliza Petrow had been killed in that federal raid explosion, and just when everyone feared the Underground\u2019s ambitious ploy to change the Savior\u2019s fate had died with her, Connor revealed their backup plan\u2014involving Belle, an untested memory storing device created by Eliza and countless hours of rigorous autogenic training.<\/p><p>The next few minutes would reveal if this plan had a chance to succeed.<\/p><p>Adjusting her posture and adding a little lilt came almost naturally to Belle while she answered questions about her assumed personal data and resume.<\/p><p>\u201cAlright, Dr. Petrow, please proceed to memory testing.\u201d The woman nodded toward a door to the left. When Belle entered, she wondered for a split second if the guy who had been dragged off to the gallows a few minutes ago had also prepared for the memory scouting like she had done. What if it wasn\u2019t enough? What if the machine really was unbeatable?<\/p><p>\u201cHello Dr. Petrow.\u201d<\/p><p>Belle froze. Next to a single chair stood a man in a dark suit. His eyes sparkled with a deep metallic hue.<\/p><p>\u201cI am the Reader. I will determine whether your memories match the information provided. Please be seated.\u201d<\/p><p>Her mind was spinning.<\/p><p>Impossible.<\/p><p>Artificial intelligence? An android?<\/p><p>Belle gazed at the humanoid in utter disbelief.

Neither the Reader nor Belle moved. \u201cNow!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There was another slight tilt of the head before the android spoke.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will remain behind. Please leave without us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Belle\u2019s flabbergasted \u201cWhat?\u201d was echoed half a second later by the officer.<\/p>\n<p>The uniformed woman looked confused. \u201cNo. I have orders to get you to safety, Reader. We need to move now.\u201d As if to prove her point, another violent explosion rocked the room. Closer this time. A growing clamor mixed with automatic weapon fire resounded from the hallway.<\/p>\n<p>The Reader remained eerily calm. \u201cAs I said, we will remain behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Belle shifted from one foot to the other, unsure what to do. She inched toward the open door to get an idea of what was happening, only to be stopped by a raised AK47 pointing at her head, entering the testing chamber from the corridor. <\/p>\n<p>The soldier holding the rifle took a quick sweep of the room before he lowered his gun.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s going on? Why haven\u2019t you moved?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe won\u2019t come,\u201d said the female officer. She pointed at Belle. \u201cI think it\u2019s her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The soldier targeted Belle again. \u201cWhat did you do to him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She stumbled back with her arms raised. \u201cI didn\u2019t do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLower your weapons!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Belle\u2019s view followed the sound of the familiar voice. She saw only an inch of her brother\u2019s blond hair appearing briefly from behind the door frame before all hell broke loose.<\/p>\n<p>The soldier and the officer emptied their magazines, aiming at the doorframe. Belle felt the sharp sting of her eardrums rupturing from the intense noise of the gunfire blasting through the small chamber. She squeezed her eyes shut and screamed from pain and fear. Something cold and hard pushed her against the rear wall. When Belle dared to take a look, she stared at the black-suited shoulders of the Reader standing in front of her.<\/p>\n<p>The muffled sound of shots being fired, intermingling with the onset of tinnitus, ebbed away when the government agents ran out of ammunition. Belle glanced from behind her humanoid shield.<\/p>\n<p>She saw Connor inching around the doorframe, followed by his friends Mickey and Riker. They pointed their guns at the officer and the soldier, who laid down their weapons and raised their hands.<\/p>\n<p>Belle\u2019s brother spotted her cowering behind the Reader, and he aimed at the android. \u201cGet away from her!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Belle took a step toward him when she noticed movement out of the corner of her eye. Before she could even react, the Reader lurched forward with lightning speed. Another round of shots was fired, this time coming from Mickey and Riker aiming at the humanoid.<\/p>\n<p>The android shoved the government soldier to the ground, still under heavy fire from the two insurgents, and a small sidearm bounced off the concrete. <\/p>\n<p>Belle didn\u2019t even feel the bullet penetrating her flesh. Her legs just suddenly gave way, and she collapsed. The red stain on her beige business dress grew quickly. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCease fire!\u201d Connor threw away his rifle and joined his sister on the floor. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBelle.\u201d His hands hovered above her body as if he was afraid that touching her would somehow make things worse. When he finally caressed her cheek, Belle didn\u2019t feel it. She felt nothing at all. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe projectile severed her spinal cord and punctured the abdominal aorta.\u201d The Reader stood motionless next to the government soldier, whose head rested close to the shoulder at an unnatural angle. Its suit was riddled with bullet holes, revealing the scorched and dented alloy underneath. The female officer used the volatile situation and fled into the corridor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShut up!\u201d Mickey waved his rifle in front of the android, still aiming at it. \u201cThis is all your fault.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat it is not. As I was moving to intercept the soldier, one of your bullets ricocheted off my left upper hip at a 112.3 degree angle and &#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said shut up, or I will&#8230;\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnough!\u201d Connor whirled around, revealing his tear-streaked face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy?\u201d Belle\u2019s voice was barely a whisper. She tried to raise her arm to regain her brother\u2019s attention, but it was too hard. As was breathing. She gathered her strength and managed to increase the volume a tiny bit. \u201cWhy come?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Connor noticed her efforts and turned to his sister. \u201cDon\u2019t exert yourself.\u201d He slipped off his jacket and pressed it onto the bloodstain.<\/p>\n<p>He stroked her hair and let out a sharp breath. \u201cRemember that hidden file on the memory chip we detected but couldn\u2019t decipher? Well, Riker finally did it. Eliza\u2019s memories were fake. There was no time to review it all, but it was clear the device included another set of memories. Memories of this one.\u201d Connor pointed at the Reader.<\/p>\n<p>Belle followed his gaze. She fixated on the android. \u201cYou knew.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause it was I who gave Dr. Petrow those memories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> \u201cWhich ones?\u201d Mickey looked confused, but Connor quickly caught up.<\/p>\n<p>The realization of how massively they had been screwed contorted his face. \u201cShe never worked on the Savior, did she?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. Her task was to develop an external data retention device for selective memory storage compatible with a standard human neural interface and my systems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe memory chip?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo what end?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo consolidate professional memories and the respective knowledge necessary to rebuild the human civilization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Connor scratched his beard. \u201cBut that is why they selected all those top-notch experts for the generation ship in the first place. Why would they &#8230;?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Reader shook his head slightly, and Connor\u2019s hand flew to his mouth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. They wouldn\u2019t. They couldn\u2019t!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Life Support Engineering Department didn\u2019t deliver on its promises. The latest projections suggested an insufficient degree of self-sustainability and nutrition output for the planned number of occupants. Crew size had to be reduced without losing the comprehensive knowledge base needed for the project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was quite obvious that the Reader\u2019s expressionless delivery did nothing to ease Conor\u2019s mind. Belle\u2019s brother was furious.<\/p>\n<p>Jumping to his feet, he almost yelled. \u201cAnd Eliza was in on this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d the android continued in the same monotone. \u201cBut she ultimately learned of the plan and opposed it. When her superiors noticed she was leaning toward supporting your Underground, they decided she was a security risk. They tasked me with altering her memories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Connor shook his head. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t make sense. Why did they let her keep the chip? And the memories of her old life?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I already explained to your sister, the human mind isn\u2019t an archive. Manipulating memories is a complex procedure. Dr. Petrow had been working on the technology relentlessly for months. Impressions of such intensity and recency can not simply be erased or replaced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Riker\u2019s husky voice filled the room for the first time. \u201cBut you did erase her memories. She didn\u2019t remember you. She would have told us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I believe she would have. That is why we &#8230; adjusted her old memories, taking the most prominent impressions, like the chip development, and embedded them in a new context that served our needs.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The low wailing of the intruder alert suddenly stopped. Mickey inched toward the open door and peeked into the barely lit corridor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMovement down the hall. We\u2019ve gotta go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Belle\u2019s brother fell back on his knees and prepared to pick her up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe will not survive the transport.\u201d The Reader\u2019s voice was as calm as ever.<\/p>\n<p>Connor\u2019s was the opposite. \u201cI\u2019m not leaving her behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Riker looked at the floor. \u201cConnor, man&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will carry her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All heads turned to the Reader.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have superior strength and stamina, and I know how to hold her to minimize further internal damage. You were planning to take me with you, were you not? Is this not why you are here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, but not powered on, you freak.\u201d Mickey looked almost disgusted.<\/p>\n<p>A loud bang coming from the hallway drew his attention away from the android. The instant Mickey stuck his head out into the corridor, heavy gunfire roared through the chamber. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cShit.\u201d The insurgent returned fire immediately, and Riker joined his friend.<\/p>\n<p>The Reader slid to the left side of the room and touched the wall. A part of the smooth surface receded to the back, revealing an opening with a small metal cage. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is that?\u201d Connor shouted over the thundering fusillade. <\/p>\n<p>The android crouched next to Belle and her brother. \u201cYour way out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Underground leader glanced at the hole in the wall with a frown. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSmells like a trap, man,\u201d Mickey bellowed in between salvos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is an emergency lift my creators had built in. Only a handful of people know&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A sharp yell coming from Riker interrupted the humanoid mid-sentence. The rebel stumbled to the ground and dragged himself back from the open door. Blood seeped through the gear on the right side of his upper torso.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRiker!\u201d Connor jumped to join his friend on the floor. <\/p>\n<p>The Reader leaned over Belle and stopped short of her ear. \u201cMay I carry you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Belle nodded. She had been watching the situation unfold with an eerie detachment. The blood loss was tearing her down, her mind\u2019s lack of agility matching that of her body.<\/p>\n<p>With a swift motion, the android picked her up and moved to the opening in the wall. <\/p>\n<p>Connor seemed to hesitate for a second, but then he turned to Mickey, who was still firing bullets down the hall. \u201cLet\u2019s go!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConnor, &#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have a choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Connor started dragging Riker toward the metal cage. The injured insurgent screamed in pain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lift has a limited capacity and weight restrictions. It won\u2019t fit all of us.\u201d The Reader shifted his gaze from Belle\u2019s brother to his friend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeave me,\u201d Riker groaned, \u201cI will buy you some time.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t just &#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo!\u201d Riker grabbed Connor\u2019s arm. \u201cNo matter how,\u201d he looked at the android and back to his friends, \u201cyou take that bloody ship, and you tear that fucking rock apart. You hear me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The torment of the inevitable decision was etched into the leader\u2019s face. \u201cWe will.\u201d He nodded vigorously. \u201cWe will, brother!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Connor joined his sister and the Reader, who had already stepped into the cage.<\/p>\n<p>Mickey emptied his magazine into the hallway, quickly reloaded and gave the gun to Riker with a solemn nod. Rushing to the opening in the wall, he squeezed into the cab.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI swear to God, if this is a trap&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Reader entered a code into a small display attached to the metal grid, and the lift started to move upwards. \u201cIt is not. I thought it would be evident by now that I intend to support you in your endeavors.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019d better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another round of gunshots coming from the room below sounded through the narrow shaft as the cage crawled to the top. Mickey shut his eyes, and Connor\u2019s head dropped to his chest with a deep sigh. <\/p>\n<p>Belle fought to stay conscious. She studied the android\u2019s face with half-closed lids.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe real memories. You hid them on the chip,\u201d she whispered when the shots fell silent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hoped she might find them one day and use them to achieve her goal. It was the only way I could aid her without arousing suspicion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut why &#8230;\u201d Belle wanted to ask more questions, but she didn\u2019t have enough strength left to utter a sound.<\/p>\n<p>Connor grabbed her hand and took over for her. \u201cWhy help her? And us? Isn\u2019t that against your programming or something?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the contrary. My primary task is to ensure the survival of the human civilization. The path chosen by those in power will not achieve that objective. A civilization comprises more than just the sum of its memories. Science and knowledge are important. But so are the arts, culture, and connections. The feeling of belonging.\u201d    <\/p>\n<p>Belle looked up. As the dim light coming from the top of the shaft slowly grew brighter, darkness was closing in on her. And yet, for the first time since she had found out about Earth\u2019s impending doom, Belle felt a sliver of hope. Not just because far more than only a couple hundred humans might live to see another day\u2014but because humanity itself might survive after all.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
