In the distant realm of Technatopia, the world was in a futuristic age, and most of the population had come to rely on machines a great deal.
At this point, robots had already been invented to cater to humans' general needs and assist in developing the world with them but they were unreliable, and sometimes dangerous, they malfunctioned all too often and most of the time, humans were ill-equipped to deal with them when this happened.
Over several years, scientists built on robot projects, until finally, they created something better.
Robots that thought for themselves, yet, knew of authority, feelings of others and had a sense of law and duty: Machines with free will and a conscience.
At first there were protests, some people felt that creating life went against all religious and moral values, but the production went ahead regardless.
Androids looked virtually like humans and had most of the abilities of humans too, the ability to think, and act on their own decisions, they could see, smell, listen, touch and taste like humans, but with heightened senses or extra additions.
Their sight could reach further than others and zoom in on a specific target, their smell was heightened so they could detect different scents better than people could, they could hear sounds from farther away and determine what they were easily, they had twice the strength of humans but could control that strength and be gentle wherever needed, and their design allowed them to go for much longer without food and liquid.
Each ability was created throughout the years and added to those that wished to be more like the humans, eventually, androids were even able to interact with one another, because love was a huge part of human life androids were given the same opportunities, and could produce children with other androids.
At the time, it was unknown if human-android relationships could produce the same results, but people were banned from getting involved with androids in that way and vice versa.
Because androids were stronger and sometimes smarter than humans, they were used often for manual labour, law enforcement or roles which required fast and/or calculating minds, this put several humans out of work because the androids could perform most jobs and duties better than them.
This led to arguments and disputes that androids were getting out of hand, and most humans ended up despising having the androids around, so much that they hurt the androids with their actions and words a great deal, and treated them as lesser beings compared to them.
This was a big mistake, the androids soon got tired of this; they stood up for themselves, resulting in war.
But before it could grow too far out of control, higher up humans came to a quick decision in order to end it; to give the androids equal opportunities, if they weren't being treated as such, then even the humans would get involved alongside androids to rectify the problem.
Even the ban to prevent human-android relationships was lifted eventually, in order to bring humans and androids closer together since by this point, tests had been performed to make sure that conception between humans and androids turned out to be safe, for the parents, and the child.
Things were bound to go fine people thought, but problems still arose, a small portion of the androids still weren't satisfied, and the equal opportunities only made them greedy, they wanted more, they believed that they were better than humans, and as such, should be treated better.
They continued to act as terrorists, hurting the humans to get what they wanted.
But even the other androids wouldn't stand for this, and an agency formed by humans and androids counteracted the terrorist threats.
It took five years to round up, imprison, and in some cases, destroy the terrorists, but the agency finally defeated them and locked the remaining survivors away.
For several years after that, all was peaceful, until now.
