Summary
     - Humans and machines coexist in this world.
     As technology progresses, the two gradually become less and less
     distinguishable, but it isn’t perfect.
     Humans are capable of things that even an advanced android like
     myself can not experience.
     But a chance encounter with someone leaves me wondering otherwise. -
     {HIATUS}
Notes
     Yes! Androids and robots!! hella!
     Shit summary tho, U_U i might re-do it later. I'm also considering
     this title. Not sure if it's good. Eh.
     This all started because i was thinking of kinky robot sex tbh
     But then all of a sudden plot shoved itself into my face, so here we
     are!
     Hope you guys like this! Its quite a bit of a ride. At least it will
     be?

     (Previously was summarized as)
     -I had been released into a world where humans and machines coexist.
     With newer models coming out, the fine line between humans and
     androids should be becoming thinner, right?. Well it's not. This
     isn't perfect.
     Humans can experience certain things we can't. So unfortunately or
     not, I decided that was unfair and now have to live my artificial
     life learning how to cope with the pros and cons of feeling.
     Is this really worth it? -

LEVI:
 
 
                A hissing sound, one like blowing out a constant string of air.
That's the first thing I take notice of. The next is a light, fluffy feeling,
like gentle huffs of humid breath brushing against my arms and legs. I feel the
smooth texture of a coil suspending somewhere following the subtle crevice
along my spine. The sound of a door sliding open and a sweet, female voice grab
my attention.
"Well hello there! Its great to finally speak to you! How does it feel to
finally be activated?"
                I don't answer the question as my legs move on their own and
urge me out of whatever held me inside. Just as my body fully exits, my eyes
commence to flutter open. My vision is fuzzy and glitchy at first, but after a
few blinks, it adjusts and begins to focus. A young woman with light, ginger
hair and amber eyes is standing there, imputing data into a digitized tablet in
her hands. She pauses from her work and smiles at me as she motions a few other
workers over before walking up to me herself.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Petra Ral. I'm a scientist here that
has been set to take charge of you until you were finally scheduled to be
released. It's a pleasure to finally meet you properly."
                She stuck her hand out to me and I took it, giving it a firm
shake. She releases my hand and uses it in favor or bringing over a male with
two-toned hair.
"And this here is my hubby, Oulo. He's been the one that's assisted me while
watching over you."
"Hello. Its great to see you finally active." He said as he also offered me a
handshake.
"Okay! So we just need to perform a few tests and procedures before you're good
to go!"
                For the next few minutes, I was put through basic trials and
examination to ensure there were no malfunctions. Not long afterwards, Petra
began disinfecting needles and putting on gloves.
"Alright. Just a few more steps and we'll be done here. Oulo dear, get the
plug, would you?"
"Sure thing." He responds as he too slips on a pair of gloves.
                He begins to move himself behind me and I feel the same cord
from before lightly taping my back. Right after, there's a feeling of something
being disconnected from me at the nape of my neck. He reaches over to grab a
small tube and cube from a counter nearby. As he holds the chrome- minted
device above my nape, he gently pinches the synthetic skin together and presses
a button on the tube. It's a strange sensation to feel him pinching that area,
but it's soon replaced by another sensation; one that feels incredibly hot.
'A laser.' I realize.
                It doesn't hurt though and before long he turns the device off.
He swiftly opens up the tiny, cube-shaped box and pulls out a semi-transparent
strip and places it on my nape. There's a slight sizzling sound before it
stops. It must have properly sealed the plug opening at my nape.
"Ah good." Petra says. "Now, please take a seat here."
                I sit down and watch as she carefully inserts a syringe into a
tiny vial and extracts the neon liquid.
"So, I just have this last thing I need you to do for me. Please sit still
while I inject this, okay? It's at the back of your head, so it may hurt. I
can't say for certain. All the models' reactions differ from each other. I'll
try to make this quick." She explained as she disinfected the desired area for
injection.
                It certainly was a discomfort, I will admit that, but it didn't
exactly hurt. It just felt extremely strange. Enough for me to prefer to not go
through this ever again, if I can help it. But she kept her word and it was
over and done with in record time. Just as Oulo had done, she plucked a strip
from the cube and placed it over the puncture.
"There! We're done. Now, one last thing." She started as she pulled off her
gloves and discarded them in a spherical bin.
                Pulling out a small box from the front pocket of her white
coat, it flashed and instantly produced her digital tablet once again. She
scrolled down for a bit before pausing and looking to me.
"You are allowed to choose your own name. What would you like us to call you?"
                I pondered my choice briefly before voicing my decision.
"Levi. I want to be called Levi."
                She nodded and typed something into her tablet with nearly
inhuman agility.
"Very well. You shall be Levi from here on. Work hard and make this company
proud. They have high expectations for you." She chirped.
                With a soft glow, a card- an ID of sorts- materialized out of
the slot at the top of the tablet. She plucked it out and handed it to me.
"Remember to get along and welcome to the survey corps!"

        The narrow hall seems almost infinite as I walk along it’s smooth,
shiny tiles. It’s monochrome barrenness only seemed to support my previous
statement as my footsteps echoed softly with a click against the walls and
ceiling of the empty hall. I adjusted the clothes that had been provided for me
as i continued my strides, heading to my pre-programmed location.
        Apparently older models would have required an escort like anyone else
new entering the building, but I was a newer model and they had cared to have
me programmed to know the entire floor plan of the building. How convenient. As
i approached my destination, i paused before a large, metallic door, fishing
out my ID that I had carefully pocketed away and swiped it through the security
scanner. A light above the door flickered from red to green, followed by an
automated voice that spoke “Access Granted”. The entrance slides open, allowing
me to enter the room. The moment I step foot into the area, bright blue eyes
meet mine and my system’s files begin to go through it’s data banks to place a
name to their profile. I know his name before the blond even shakes hands with
me.
 
“Hello there, sir. You must be the newest model of the android project: Levi,
am I correct?” He said knowingly, adding on a polite and charming smile. “As a
newer model, perhaps you already know of my name through your files, but allow
me to introduce myself properly. I am ‘Erwin Smith’, the android model that
came out just before you. It is a pleasure to be able to meet you and work with
you, Levi.”
 
“The feeling is mutual, Erwin.” I nod once as I spoke, my own words almost pre-
programmed themselves.
 
“I see you have arrived here with no escorts.” He notes observantly. “I suppose
this means you must be programmed with the buildings floor plans. Would you
still like me to give you a tour of the building?”
 
        I figured that I had nothing else to do, so I give a nod to accept his
offer. I was only programmed with where to locate all of these areas, but I
don’t know what they look like. A personal look around with permission wouldn't
hurt. Seemingly delighted, he flashed another handsome smile and guided me
around the corporation.
 
- -
 
      The tour had taken longer than I had originally anticipated. The company
building was large of course, I was aware of that much, but envisioning
something and seeing it for yourself are two completely different things. It
includes perspective and real-time interaction, which changes as you go along.
In other words, I thought wrong. But that’s what it’s like to a android modeled
after humans themselves.
        I’m sure that if I were human and my physical vessel were composed of
flesh, I would most likely have been exhausted from walking around everywhere.
The tour was awfully thorough. It wouldn't sound too far off of me as to say
that we had inspected every corner of this large facility. The place being an
enormous size is most likely the reason behind there being so many hired
personnel here. I wonder how humans do it. Perhaps it has something to do with
these ‘Caffeine tablets’ and ‘Liquid energy shots’ that I occasionally catch
them taking per use of their mouth.
       After the tour, Erwin politely offered to escort me to a room three
floors just above the one we were currently on. We stepped onto the nearby
elevator pad as it launched us up weightlessly and slid open it’s doors to let
us out. He guided me to another chrome-minted door, but this one was different
from the other ones I had seen. Judging by it’s delicately crafted structure
and the decorative visuals set up along the long, elegant hallway, I could tell
that this place was important. It was the only area that made a show of snow
white marble and twinkling crystals with mirrors as opposed to the monochrome
color scheme used just about everywhere else. As he swiped in his own key card,
I already knew where we were.
        Stepping inside with purpose, my eyes first catch sight of the polished
mahogany desk set in the middle of the room. I blink. It’s strange to see
something made of naturally produced  products after seeing everything having
been made artificially. I suppose refreshing would be the fitting word to use.
     The man sitting behind the expensive desk is a bald man with a well
groomed mustache. His desk plate says ‘DOT PIXIS’, but I knew it before I even
noticed it. He looks at me with a slight glint in his eye that says he was
expecting us. Erwin salutes respectfully before saying a firm yet short “Sir.”,
then striding out of the room like a soldier. Ah, I believe the salute he did
is the sign of respect they do here. It’s something I’ll have to do myself once
I start officially working here. I suppose I must be pardoned for not doing it
now.
 
“Good afternoon, Levi. I’ve been expecting you. Please, have a seat.”
 
         I nod and take one of the comfy seats in front of the desk. The formal
atmosphere diminishes slightly when he speaks again.
 
“So, Levi. What do you think of my facilities? Go ahead and give your honest
opinion. I don’t bite.”
 
“I think this is a big ass place, Pixis sir.” I say without missing a beat.
 
        Pixis gives a hearty laugh as his eyes twinkle with mirth. The wrinkles
around his eyes only increase.
 
“My my, what a personality you have there. Quite the character you are. That is
some interesting programming. I haven’t heard that one before.”
 
       He folds his hands neatly on top of his desk’s polished surface.
 
“It’s blunt and colorful, yet still mindful of manners. Those are clashing
qualities. I like that.” He says, giving a chuckle in approval. “Now that
you’ve gotten a good look around the place, you must be much more prepared for
when you start working here for the ‘Survey Corps’, I assume?”
 
“Yes, Sir. I am prepared to take the challenge of any task assigned to me head
on. It is in my programming after all.”
 
“Excellent. Work hard for your company, Levi. We all have high expectations for
you and are eager to see your work. We know you will not let this company
down.”
 
“No, sir. Thank you.”
 
“Very well then, I believe we have established all points necessary. You are
dismissed for the day. Go ahead and have a look around for yourself. Gain as
much experience as you can before you start your first day of work. There is
plenty out there to enjoy, Levi.”
 
      He reaches into a desk cabinet and hands me a chip.
 
“Go have some fun.”
 
--
 
        I step outside, letting out a soft gasp as a gentle breeze whispers
through my synthetic raven locks. My sensors indicate a warmer change of
temperature and I find the naturally illuminated streets and sidewalks much
more inviting than those dingy fluorescent lights from inside. The outside is
also embellished with chrome minting, but it doesn’t feel as overdone as the
building was. There is no monochrome out here. Everything is a bright, clean
white with vibrant, lively colors splashed on tastefully here and there.
        Though it still looks artificially designed, there are carefully
planted trees proportionally placed from each other, as well as professionally
tended gardens and other appealing vegetation. There is crystal and glass
depicted artistically here too, but it isn’t as flashy as the one from the
boss’ hallway. It feels much more fun, and less business. The water fountains
scattered across the plot shimmer under the sun’s rays and add life into the
outdoors.
       As I take a few steps into the stunning, foreign land, I breathe in a
large whiff of air. It smells distinctly of what my files indicate to be
various flower nectar and food vendors far off. My new destination was already
pre-programmed as well, so I chose to relish in the sights I had yet to see and
enjoy the experience.
       There was plenty of bustling happening outside of the company too, as It
seemed. All the inhabitants appeared to be absorbed within their own worlds and
duties. Groups of children playing in specially designed ‘Playgrounds’, adults
entering and exiting various bars and shops, and various modes of
transportation whisking past me on the streets.
        I walked in a casual stroll, turning my head to see this and that.
There really was an abundance of things to take in since it wasn’t too full and
busy with hordes of people everywhere. I’d catch a glance of families dining in
restaurants or snacking from vendors. Some places were classy and some weren’t.
Private gardens bloomed with flowers of all sorts. Shops and stores had a
consistent flow of people moving in and out of them. Everyone was writing their
own story, speaking and acting.
 
“Order for number 3!” Was shouted distantly.
 
“Taxi!” Someone else called from across the street.
 
“Move those boxes over here!” A voice told a brown haired boy from inside a
small shop.
 
“Can I get two more of these?” Another requested nearby.
 
       It was all a mixture of both humans and androids out here. Each one of
them was the protagonist of their own story. It was a nice experience, all and
all.
      Finally approaching my destination, I walked up to a gate and insert the
chip into a tiny port. A digital keypad materialized and I input a special code
known only to me. Pressing my palm against the pad, it scanned my hand and the
system performed a retinal scan as well. The gates opened up as soon as the
scanning was complete. My files inform me that the process was to program my
own individualized security for the home that was made just for me.
      As I explore around the house, I notice how nice it was. It wasn’t like
the company at all. It had modern touches to it, but overall I’d say it was
somewhat old fashioned. I actually like it. It even came complete with nice
pieces of furniture, some entertainment systems, an assortment of plants, Wi-
Fi, and a garage that kept my own specialized company vehicle in it. I suppose
important projects like myself get the special treatment.
      I take a peek through the window to look at the view, noticing that
though it was quite the sight to see, it was getting rather dark. Deciding that
I’d had enough looking around for today, I decided to get ready to go to bed.
Androids of my type don’t really need sleep like humans or older models do, but
I figured trying out a self induced sleep rather than the artificial one I had
been in earlier today would be nice.
      I walk into my master bedroom and go to change into more suitable
clothing. They had been considerate enough to leave me a few PJs I could
download from the bedroom mirror as well as some business suits for work.
Swiping through the clothing options, I picked out a black t-shirt and matching
sweatpants for bed. After making my selection, the pad I was standing on
flashed and scanned my body, allowing the clothes I had chosen to materialize
on me.
     Flinging myself onto the large bed, I’m surprised at how plush it is. I
snuggle into the sheets, relishing how the cool temperature of the sheets and
pillows feel. After this, I would be starting my career at Survey Corps
tomorrow. The walk from the building to my reserved home was rather far, but I
had only traveled on foot for the sight-seeing that Pixis had encouraged I do.
I would be taking the company vehicle to work starting tomorrow morning.
      As I laid in bed, I briefly wondered if I’d reach a state of REM as
humans do. But I knew I wouldn’t, androids don’t dream after all. So instead, I
decided to close my eyes, set up my internal alarm, and count down the seconds
as I relaxed and allowed my systems to shut down for the night.

End Notes
     (EREN was actually in the first chapter. Did you catch him?)
     Preview is no longer in the tags.
     But be aware that I will almost always update chapters by previews/
     parts. So always check the updates!!!!
     -
     Because Android Levi is hella cool.
     An android!Au no one asked for! :) But i did anyway.
     I felt it was lacking. Usually Eren is the android, so i made a Levi
     one.
     -
     There's also a "one-shot" inspired by this im working on, in case
     anyone was interested called "Encrypt my Coding".
     -
     Also, just for kicks, I wanna know your best Robotics-related pickup
     lines. So throw em' my way if you wanna share/ have any! (I just
     might use em' too!)
