《Doctor Who : The Emerging Robots》The Autopsy

"Help... help... help..." A voice began to stammer from the body of the Sedranstak robot the Doctor had taken out only seconds before. He was using his screwdriver to try and escape the room by pressing it against a power supply connected to the door. "Help... me... Doc... tor..." The voice was inferring the body still had life but not enough to live. The voice was slightly more human like and carried more emotion in its tone.
"Oh wow. You are a true beauty. Oh you really are. I remember seeing something similar to this a few years back in Parallel London with the Cybermen. Very similar." He was so fascinated by this discovery.
"Where am I ?" The body began to go cold as it twitched after every bit of speech was said.
"You're onboard the Sedranstak ship, specifically in a cryogenic freezing chamber room. I was brought on only a few moments ago."
"You... pulled... my head... off."
"I had to. It was the only way to survive myself. I'm the only person who can save this planet from being stuck in time and from being the prey to predators and bounty hunters like yourselves."
"Where... is... Trevor? I... need... to... see... Trevor."
"What do you last remember ?"
"German soldiers... charging towards me... shotgun... failed... Trevor... dying... men dead... on Normandy... beach."
"D-Day. Oh you poor thing. Let's open this compartment. See what I can do." He got his sonic screwdriver out again and opened the chest of the clueless robot. When it was opened, the look of the Doctor's face went from sympathy to shock. The brain of the poor soldier was wired up to a voice box and the inside of the bot. This was what was allowing him to live slightly. He was not used to this. With the Cybermen, it was just an inhibitor device but this was certainly more advanced.

"I... feel... pain..."
"I know and I am so so sorry for what they've done to you. But I can only shut you down to end the pain."
"Thank... you... Doctor." With that statement, he unwired the brain, causing it to shut down and the unfortunate soldier to feel no more pain. He had suffered enough and now the Doctor had began to experience that pain, the pain of killing, something he could never get used to. As a mark of dominance to try and stop the other, he took the head of the deceased bot to alert just what he could do.
He proceeded to walk out of the cryogenic freezing chamber room with the head of one of the Sedranstak, head down in guilt. He used the screwdriver to lock the door behind him as he carried on walking towards the cockpit where the other robot was preparing for the crash.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
