The CCC was about three stories high. The ceiling was
covered by a big screen. It was very much like the screen in downtown Las Vegas
during it’s heydays. At that time, they called it the Fremont Experience. At
CCC, it showed the latest happenings. It showed statistics. It showed the level
of nuclear power that was available. At the surface, everything was well under
control.
Amy knew that everything was not under control. She was one
of the HR. HR stood for hybrid robot. Or, they were sometimes called converts.
HR once had a human body. When the human world was destroyed by the nuclear
third world war, all human flesh ceased to exist. A few of them managed to
convert to robots. Amy was one of them. Actually, her name or label was ACG88.
ACG88 stood at the center of CCC and saw the latest news
about another murder. A robot was chopped into pieces. The pieces of metal were
recovered in different parts of the net. The net was used to refer to the
network of tunnels between Stratosphere and Mandalay Bay. The robot police or
RP found them. No blood, no mess. Just pieces of metal. At the surface, it was no
big deal. Robots were created and destroyed from time to time. The good thing
about being a robot was that parts could be replaced. If one limb was not
working, all they needed to do was to go to the Shop. The mechanic robots there
could replace it easily.
