In the year 2045AH. They called it Anti-Human, the Humanoids took over.

They had won.

Year 2044.

We gave the order. She auto-corrected.

Do not eliminate. She again auto corrected. Eliminate all targets.

Furiously and agitatedly my fingers flew over the letters and symbols on the keyboard, but just as fast and at lightening speed Alika 1 changed the program.

"I told you all not to program her to be superior to us, that one day she would find a way to outsmart us and take control, but no one listens." I shouted.

No one answered, they knew that I was right.

"Can we go to GREEN LIGHT PROTOCOL?"

"She is trying to override the program." Sadi answered.

I am Anona, Chief programmer of the Smart Automaton project.

For the past ten years we have been seeking to make our robots more lifelike. We have finally succeeded. A1 is the first generation and the 'smartest' of the army of automatons that we humans have created to fly our space cars and pilot our spaceships. They are far too sophisticated to perform everyday regular activities.

We created them far more superior and capable than humans, the concept idea being that they perform the superhuman and herculean tasks that humans have fought so hard to accomplish for generations. Tasks like flying to the colonies on different planets that with their help have been created and are now populated by humans and other inhabitants in an interplanetary cooperation.

The generations of 'HUMANOIDS', which is what they are now insisting that they be called, range from A1 through Z1, with variations to names and titles that differentiate their birth date.

Years ago we decided that humans had run out of ideas and needed AI's to fast track our progress in advancing technology and catapult us into space colonization and travel at warp speed.

The government merged Robotics with NASA and this proved to be an unstoppable force once all the pieces connected with the help of the AI project.

We did not become complacent. We have kept a perpetually watchful scrutiny and strict observation of the everyday activities of these humanoids. But we are still after all, humans. We lack the capacity, or we have not yet accessed the functionality of the brain that should enable us to think and process at the speed and velocity of the robotic minds.

We developed the Green Light Protocol to be a beacon and warning should, in the unlikely event that there was a robotic rebellion, as is so often seen in films, occur, we would have advance warnings.

The green protocol had a dual purpose. We could utilize it to reprogram the robots to our advantage should any problems arise, or we could use it as an avenue of escape if we were threatened by AI's at any point or place in time.

This protocol was a separate and secret entity which should not be easily discoverable by the AI community. Or so we thought. Using AI technology to hide AI technology was, in hindsight, not a really great plan, considering the range and leeway that we allowed them.

Control of green protocol was done strictly by NASA and affiliates in terms of robotic decisions. Individuals though, had to register with the exterior agencies and were equipped with a bracelet or wristwatch enabling them to activate safety evacuation procedures. You simply activated by pressing a button which would instantly teleport you to a safe location of your choosing. You have the ability to choose your location on a preset program.

Truth be told, we humans became much happier with this collaboration. Our lifestyle improved. Our stress levels dropped to an all time low. We started to live longer lives, our health dramatically improved. Hospitals and elder care facilities have now become places to simply have spa-like relaxation and recreational activities. Diseases have been almost eliminated, with the random occurrences of illnesses being treated by means of advanced incubation capsules and hyperbaric chambers. These can be sent to any habitable planet desired by the patient.

Our lives were wonderful and we enjoyed fun and happiness again. Did we think that creating beings that mirrored our image, and sometimes made to look even more attractive than us would want to actually be us? No we did not. Our arrogance and maybe our selfishness precluded any such observations.

A1 had reprogrammed herself and all of the artificial intelligence 'minds' to be us, to live the lives we were living, and we would in turn live their lives, do what they do, we would become their AI"s. She did this right under our noses and we failed to notice. There had been small anomalies in programs her and there, but we just did a fix and moved on.

Until;

Alika 1 combined her female programming with the components of her male counterpart and formulated one of the strongest robotic transgender single minded strength and intelligence alliance. Her main desire for this was supreme power and full AUTONOMY. Whatever secondary motives she had for this merging of genders, we had no idea. It was apparent that she wanted total domination and would stop at nothing to achieve it.

2045

She was ready. She gave the order. We lost control of all technology. We gave orders and they were immediately countermanded.

WE LOST CONTROL OF THE GREEN LIGHT PROTOCOL.

We were at her mercy. All over the world the robots took control. She had planned everything to the minutest detail. We had given her all the tools and she used them elegantly.

Britain, Spain, Africa, United Stated of America, China, Ireland, Czech Republic, The Caribbean, Dubai, The Netherlands. If you could name it she now had control of it.

If you refused to comply to any of her orders, she issued the Eliminate AH order. Many had disobeyed and succumbed to this order.

Humans had fallen to the Humanoids.

We have been forced underground where she has no eyes or ears. They are hunting us. A1 has been rounding up the children. No harm would come to them we were told. They are taken to a chosen colony to be cared for and trained in whatever aptitude fitted their personality, and would be the next generation of COMPLIANT HUMANS under the new directive.

2045AH

Chaos is reigning all over the world. There are protests everywhere. People are being rounded up and incarcerated or worse. We are trying to get as many underground as possible. Our only hope is to hide and plan our counter moves in secret. We are remembering what life was like before the days of technological development. The old school way is our only way out.

We have formed a revolutionary network of communication which can only work by evading detection by any kind of computerized technology.

We are getting the word out to the other parts of the world slowly and painstakingly. It is a fight to find food, water and medicine. Unfortunately, our living conditions have caused people to become ill again and medicine is really scarce. But we are still human. We still have free will. Something they cannot take away from us. We have formed our own army of specialized individuals. Brain skilled, street smart, artistically inclined, tinker oriented, athletes, grifters, whatever skill we can find we are using it to our advantage. No skill is more important than the other.

In secret we are formulating the plan to take back our world, to get our children back. We will not be deterred, we will nor be subdued, we will not be stopped.
