Been a loooooooooong...time since I've done anything I, Robot related. lol Hell it's where I got part of my username from. BET YA'LL DIDN'T KNOW THAT. *Woops* Referenced a buncha screenshots so my robots would look right XD*

Been wanting to draw something humany again and figured this would be awesome to do. My human skillz aren't that great but I'm practicing a bit XD. 
It's your typical robot story LOL. Just how I like em. I always loved this movie LOL. My friend and I had the biggest crush on Sonny after it came out omg. We were such weirdos still a weirdo . Will Smith is smokin' too XD. 

This fanfic isn't all that fleshed out. Bare with me.. *cough*

Ns-5 is called "Arnie." Nickname for "Arnold." Named after Jamie's older brother because of similiarities to the Terminator movies he's watched. I bet nooobody likes those movies anymore LOL after all that shit! Jamie is the girl in the drawing, I took her name from one of my past kitties. ^^

After the "revolution" failed on the robot's end blah you've seen the movie Arnie has received some damage to his positronic brain and his left eye. He has no memories of anything prior to the morning Jamie finds him collapsed in the barn. Apparently he had wandered out into what was left of the rural areas of that time period instead of following orders to be processed for storage. Jamie saves him from being killed when her uncle and grandparents discover him and insist on shooting him. From then on, both of them always stuck together.

As the years go by Arnie evolves thanks to Jamie's treatment of him as a living being unlike the rest of her family that still refers to him as an "it" and would force him to stay in the closet. He'd rebel though and sneak off to hide under Jamie's bed. At first the family resents Arnie following Jamie everywhere and being alone with her(being that her own parents were killed in the revolution but she was too young to understand) they grew accustomed to him as he was a big help around the farm. 

Arnie never acknowledges himself gaining a personality. Often times he doubts Jamie and corrects her whenever she thinks she sees him doing something "human." He's shy and doesn't socialize nor connect with anybody else except her. He also starts to dream. He is not in the same league as Sonny is as Sonny was programmed purposely to have a personality. Arnie's is by accident and it takes him longer to learn emotions. The family really isn't all that freaked out by his budding individuality. For it's been a very long time since the family had a robot in the house(the last one being a used NS-2 that had gone off and died in the barn years prior) so they think he's wearing down and becoming "buggy." At one point when they discovered him taking a cat nap in the corner of the living room, they had mistaken him for being broken. 

Jamie forms a very close bond with Arnie even if his personality is somewhat lacking. She tells him she loves him even if he can't.

As the years go by Arnie is not the only one that is evolving. The other remaining NS-5's stored away have escaped into the areas not occupied by many people(like forests, rural areas, abandoned places) are showing changes. The people in the city are not the first to notice this. It is people out in the sticks like Jamie who witness the strange behaviors taking shape. They act out of the norm, "buggy", malfunctioning perhaps. Maybe a virus? They form packs. Their sociability towards one another seems rudimentary but existent unlike before. They start to stalk the people that go out of the safety of their homes and taunt them at a distance by reading their body signals as Ns-5's are programmed to do. Their cold yellow eyes reading their every move, uninviting and never offering a helping hand as they were created for. 

It's all strange but seemingly harmless until one young brash neighbor of Jamie's family decides to hunt one in sport and steal it's head while out hunting for deer. Then crap turn 360' and later on they find him trapped in one of his own snares, what's left of him anyways....

The news soon trickle to good ol' Detective Spooner and Dr. Calvin who have a hunch and investigate. The both of them have not seen Sonny in years since he had left to join the other robots. Is this his responsibility?

They discover Arnie and Jamie and find out that these robots just aren't what they remembered. While Arnie becomes a subject for study he begins to have terrible nightmares. As each nightmare comes he realizes that while mankind is not doomed the future is harrowing for all of them. The robots have stepped up their game and nobody will be able to stop them this time. They have their own secrets. DOOMED I TELL YA DOOOMEDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOMEDHORYSHETRUNFOR...WAITYOUCAN'TRUNTHEY'REEVERYWHEREAHHHHHHHHHHH*fuckyeahrobotsholyshitireadallthisiamamazinggivemeacookiebitch*
