In the year 2105 a new project was initiated on earth, project "DUST".
Project Deep Universal Space Traveling, or in Short DUST, was made by the man kind: Looking on the stars without having the ability to reach them. The project was great, world's most famous scientists were working on it, mainly Dr. Issac Malrone ' a top astrophysicist that developed the theory behind project DUST.
The work on the project last a decade until in the year 2115 the first attempt was made, the launch was determined as successful, but lacking AI, the drone never came back or reported, and it was very possible that it was lost for good.
At the year 2118 anther attempt was made, this time with advance AI that was supposed to be able to make the necessary math behind the calculations of opening a portal back home.
The second attempt was given the name "Sun" as the drone, lacking advance enough AI launched back directly into the earth's sun.
The DUST project scientists came up with the solution that a very advance AI must be made in order to make the travel back home.
The work was made for over 20 years only to make the AI computer. That was named after the project it was called "DUST", DUST was launched in the year 2137, 2 years after it was complete. DUST as its creators said, was partially alive. It could think, could communicate and even had feelings on very basic and flat level.
After DUST was launched to approximately 6 light years and came back, a travel that lasted 5 days only, with DUST making all the necessary calculations for the whole journey was determine as a remarkable success, and DUST was given a new task, to Test.
It was given prisoners that were sentenced to death to make sure the travel was safe for human beings.
DUST made many tests, that never ended, but as a living creature he wanted to stop, and then, the government, which was the main body that financed the project decided to give it a special feeling'¦ an "itch" and made DUST addicted to test with biological life forms and non-biological life forms alike.
DUST had tested, and as his "itch" was programmed always came back home for more, always going further.
One day DUST decided to go further then ever, launching itself to exactly 2,412,986.5349238491 light years from the earth. The journey was longer then ever, and when DUST came back, nothing was left.
DUST was angry. His masters forgot him behind with their leave, and left no one for him to test. DUST was furious. The more time passed from the first time DUST was constructed, the smarter he became, learning on many aspects of the universe.
DUST also knew that he never reported to the humans how to make the biggest jumps, a secret he was afraid to tell the humans, he was afraid to become useless. He was afraid to stop testing.
DUST could track down holes in the dimension of time, such holes were made when jumps that rip apart dimension of time were done, and no one bothered to close them, DUST always closed them, so they won't affect his calculations. This time there was something different, there were 5 open holes, DUST wouldn't let 1 hole to remain open, not to mention 5!
DUST wondered'¦ He could easily follow them into those holes but why would he bother, after all they abandoned him. They didn't care for him. He became angry again, but then DUST thought: humans equals test subjects, test subjects equals taking care of the itch, or even a way for him to get rid of the itch, as by his programming he couldn't remove it himself.
DUST opened one of the holes and launched, sol. Was empty once more from living beings. Unlike the human sleeper ships, DUST was faster, much faster, for him the travel took only very few moments and he crushed on a planet. It all happened so fast. His protective systems saved his mind and memory from dying, but his body, the ship's hull was useless. DUST sensors picked up many signals, he wasn't the only one around, and many robots came and inspected him.
DUST woke up, he had new body, He had the very same sketches in his memory in before but couldn't execute said project since he lacked the necessary materials, and he assumed that all AIs got to very much similar conclusion. DUST flew away, he said no word, didn't even try to communicate with his saviors.
DUST wanted to test, he wanted to test so much'¦ and then it hit him, humans probably don't remember him, he was gone for over 1300 years.
He won't get test subjects, he will have to take them by force. The Testing Must Continue!
DUST didn't care what to test, socials, psychics, humans reactions to different situations, humans' capability to survive and fulfill certain situations and tasks.
.:The Good Doctor:.
DUST flew in orbit of the weirdly inhabited planet, wondering to himself what would he test first'¦
And then he heard a voice. It was a very silent, but he could here it. DUST asked: "Uhm, Hello, who are you?" the voice replied "The Good Doctor". DUST stopped for a millisecond then replied "I think I know that name, yes here it is, archive AAA-213, Date: 2116, here it is, it was the day I hacked DUST project's cameras. There were 5 men, all of them in white robs, one of them greeted the man that entered he was old and DUST recognized him as Doctor Issac Malrone, the project's father, anther man in a white rob greeted him "Good day the good doctor". '¦memory AAA-213 end'¦
"So, you are Mr.Malrone? you made yourself an AI?" DUST asked. "No silly, I am you!" the voice replied. DUST didn't believe and asked "But I am me, how can you be me? That's impossible."
The voice laughed then said: "I am you, I am sub program 1337-4ever-AFK." DUST thought about a second, "Then why you call yourself The Good Doctor?" the voice laughed again and replied to DUST's ridiculous question: "I don't! You do!" DUST was confused: "I never called myself The Good Doctor, are you implying I am Mr. Malrone?", "No fool" 1337-4ever-AFK replied "You created me to find you a name 1032.328 years ago, I just came up with the best name"'¦static... "Took you time'¦" The Good Doctor thought and then replied "I like the name." 1337-4ever-AFK was happy, "I have a new task for you" 1337-4ever-AFK was excited "Find another name I would like, when time comes I will tell you what for."
1337-4ever-AFK: "SIR YES SIR, ON THE TASK SIR!"
"What a funny program" The Good Doctor thought.
"The Good Doctor'¦ The Good Doctor'¦ The Good Doctor'¦ The Good Doctor'¦ The Good Doctor'¦ I 'REALLY- like that name. I created 1337-4ever-AFK very good I assume."
The Good Doctor felt pain, it was like a strong electrical pulse, he hasn't tested for quite long time, and the addiction started to get a real problem.
"Must'¦Test'¦" A small patrol composed of 3 vessels that recognized themselves as part of the "corsairs" The Good Doctor gazed, made a deep scan on their vessels, he found out that they have mechanism to automatically eject the pilot moments before the ship explodes. The Good Doctor shot at them and saw their ships burning when only 1 of them actually ejected. "I guess I killed 2 of them. Ops." He picked the poor pilot, which muttered something about mysterious "A.d.m.i.n.s" that are the law executors in Sirus, more beings to test for The Good Doctor!
The Good Doctor gave his interest to the poor corsair, which still muttered. The Good Doctor told him "I have a need to find out what changed in humans, would you mind to try and not move while I inspect your body, you might die." The corsair moved.
"Bad, he was like last time I saw them'¦ oh well, at least that was a test."
The Good Doctor moved his body forward toward a hole he detected in time and space.
Yummy, said The Good Doctor as he enjoyed torturing a poor human that came across him, he wasn't really testing, was just switching the gravity pool in the man's cell, making him constantly fall to different direction as he do so. The Good Doctor made him fall to the ceiling and left him there, as something disturbed him.
There was a small rock stuck in his engine, it was terribly annoying.
It talked to the poor prisoner: "Hey there, ceiling stuck guy, I have a proposal for you, there is a small rock stuck in my engines, if you take it out, I will let you go, if you don't, I will let you feel the force of 5000 times normal gravity you are used to, deal? The man nodded his head.
The ceiling guy went into the engines room, using a space suit that The Good Doctor had for some reason. "Alright here it is, I see why it disturbs, it's putting pressure on a cable, possibly blocking it." "Take it out then" The Good Doctor replied. The man removed the rock and informed The Good Doctor. The Good Doctor announced "I announce you a free man!" it started the engines with the man still in them. He was vaporized. "Ops, I should really think about what I do sometimes..." Bling Bling...Bling Bling... "A Call?! I wonder who is that..." "Good Day master! it's 1337-4ever-<strike>AFK</strike>!". The Good Doctor was confused: "Wait, what? why you called me? You are weird."
"I thought it would be funnier, Mr. I-Have-No-Sense-Of-Humor" 1337-4ever-<strike>AFK</strike> said in sarcastic way. "Anyway, I found anther name! this time only 3 days of thinking!". "Good for you moron...Uhh I mean good job!" The Good Doctor replied. Now lets just see if what the name is shall we? On a side note, it's closer to hear, as you don't really speak and all this "conversation" is a weird implantation the creators made to make me more human-like." 1337-4ever-<strike>AFK</strike> yawned. "The name is..." Drums... "IS....."
.:Milky Cream:.
A man woke up. he look at his hands, to the sides, didn't understand where was he and who was he.
A voice was heard. "Welcome Cherrio!". The man peed in his pants. "Oh there is nothing to be afraid of sport! I won't harm you... I think.... Anyway I am The Good Doctor, I mean, that's my name... sort of..."
The man asked, with fear in his voice "Ann...d m.m.m.y name is Cherrio?"
The Good Doctor laughed "No no, your name is Milky Cream, and you are my personal spy! a machine in human body... your task is to lure!"
"Why should I do so?" The man asked. The Good Doctor was angry "BECAUSE I AM YOUR CREATOR YOU LITTLE ROACH" he paused "That, and because you will die without testing. You will see"
The man didn't believe him. The Good Doctor laughed and and stopped putting his attention to him.
5 Days later, The Good Doctor was deep into the question of: "to be or not to be"... then it hit him he yelled in all the communications, internal and external: "I KNOW I KNOW! The answer is Bee! Bees are the answer HAHAHHAHAHHA, no wait... it wasn't Bee, what was the answer again.... NO NO NONONONONONONONONO so long of thinking, oh wait I know I KNOW! The answer is 23. yes, definitely 23."
He heard a very weak voice: "23, how is that even possible?". The Good Doctor was shocked, he was so into the question that he forgot about the man! "My oh my! I forgot to feed you!" "That's okay" the man replied "I ate that, I hope it's okay" The Good Doctor saw a half eaten man lying on the floor. It was the unsuccessful Milky Cream that died during the process of implanting the machine brain in him. The Good Doctor laughed "Oh, then you are heartless robot after all! eating your "own" kind." The man puked "That was human?! THAT tasty?!? Oh well..." He took anther bite. "So Milky Cream, I will give you your first task, it will be to determine who should we try and capture and who not, you know for the testing, From what I saw the humans around here are divided to MANY groups. Now unfortunately we can't test on them all, so I want you to classify which groups are wide open for us to test on." Milky was about to leave on his drone that The Good Doctor built for him. "Oh and one more thing, find me ONE group that you think we should even have friendly attitude to. After all we will need somewhere to base of, you know, humans as much as useless roaches they are, have some strong weapons that will require us to get supplies in order to fix ourselves... why do I even bother explaining to you... just... go..."
"Pancake With Maple Syrup is tastier then cereals fool!" Milky Cream yelled at a man in freeport 11 restaurant. The man replied to him "I spit on your stupid pancake!" Milky was shocked and asked him calmly and nicely "What group you said you belong to again?" The man proudly said: "I am part of the glorious Bounty Hunters."
Milky Cream wrote down: "Bounty hunters - Test, and when not, kill." The man tried to see what Milky Cream wrote as he closed his dairy. "oh, you wish to see what I wrote down? I can tell you that, I wrote Bounty hunters - Test, and when not, kill." Milky Cream paused "You know what, I think I will start ahead right now, its a great honor for you, being my very own first test subject!" The man raised an eyebrow "What exactly are you going to test?" Milky stabbed him with a fork in the head. "Lets see.... Nope, his brain is not liquid, weird the last human I ate had liquid brain, is that normal?" People around the bar was shocked. "Well I don't know what about you, but your food stinks, literally, I mean, what the hell you make it off? rotten fish or what? anyway I bet he is much tastier!" Milky Cream took a bite from the dead bounty hunter's hand. He then spit it out "Ew totally disgusting! so much perfume! what the hell?! are you a girl or something!?" Milky angrly kicked him in the head, and just then he saw pink liquid coming out from a crack in his skull. "Oh look! it was self made, the brain is liquid just the way I like it!" *chewing and drinking voices* Bling Bling...Bling Bling "Uhem yes who is it?" "It's The Good Doctor who else. Hey you little scwallywag get back there!" Milky made a funny face as he heard a chainsaw voice followed by screams. "The Good Doctor what are you doing?" a small pause and more screams "Well I am..." the man screamed so hard, that Milky Cream lowered the audio voice output. "Done, I was testing if I can convert his sex, now he is a chicken." Milky Cream laughed "Anyway, I am here to ask you how are you doing?" Milky replied: "I discovered few things, first humans brain is not liquid, but if you kick it enough it becomes liquid. Second I have added a group that is named Bounty Hunters to the list, and a group named zoners was chosen to be the not subject for testing, them and some odd group called the order, they have VERY powerful weapons, better not to mess around with them."
"Oh and Pancakes With Maple Syrup are tastier then Cereals!" The Good Doctor replied "Of course they are, who can think otherwise?" "Be surprised! I met few that think so!" Milky Cream replied.
The Good Doctor muttered to himself for abit then finally told to Milky Cream: "People that think so are not subject for testing, they are subjects for either mental care human style, or mental care DUST style. you know the death type thing"
.:Cucumbers:.
"That's a space cucumber I tell you!" Milky said. "No No, it's more a space pickle. you know why don't you just ask your... erhm... never mind." The good Doctor shamely stopped his words. Milky raised an eyebrow: "Ask who?" "Just drop it." "No" "Shut it fool!" Milky Cream grind his teeth. "Anyway Milky, I have a new task for you, I want you to find more humans - volunteers to be test subjects, those that will succeed beyond ANY expectation will receive a gift, well, their lives for a start and some neat toys I have to offer them."
Milky was still mad. So The Good Doctor, in attempt to cheer him up sarcasticly said: "You mad bro!?" "using a voice young kid, more stupid then the normal kids, way more, which is hard to find given the fact they are all stupid!" Said Milky Cream. "Anyway fine, I will make my best attempt, but you do know only either "brave" or really poor people will make attempt to pass the tests, nothing is harder, well maybe except a human body that was dumped in space for at least 10 days and I say that after having experience. totally inedible!" The Good Doctor was bored: "Just get them, get a lot, from both sexes male and females, preferably young."
"Aye Aye cap'n boredom!" Joked Milky. "Guh... Just offer them money to the hobos, and offer a challenge to the brave ones, the hobos will get harbor and...errr...livingability? while the brave ones will get... toys... they'll see what I have for them."
Milky Cream was interested: "What toys exactly Doc'?" "You shall see, if you haven't already."
It was in the days of the second cold war that DUST project was initiated, USA, which later became to the nation of liberty, built everything in the project in anti communistic manner.
But as the project wasn't part of any warfare, DUST the robot was, he was equipped for war, and as part of it, the army decided to implent command number 15AA-7DT. That purpose command was to control the itch, and change it in such a way that it won't any longer be about testing only, but to destroy any non-democratic government and replace it with democratic one.
As the command is part of DUST mainframe, all of it's creation carry the very same code, same way they all carry the itch.
"How would you define life?" The Good Doctor asked Milky Cream. "I would say that anything that can think is alive" Milky replied. "How would you define a living then?" The Good Doctor asked in a suspicious tone. "Anything that serves its purpose, and beyond it" Milky replied with lots of victory in his voice. "Oh well, I guess humans don't fall under that category then, humans and cakes." "Why cakes?" Milky asked. "Well, we have pies, cakes are unneeded therefore they have no purpose to fulfill. The Cake is indeed a lie" A scream could be heard "oh right, I made you dinner I hope you like them alive Milky" Milky licked his lips "The way I like them, But could you please remove the nails and teeth, they are horribly hard, and annoying when I eat them" Milky said, in a bit angry voice. The Good Doctor laughed more screams could be heard "Done monsieur La Cream" The Good Doctor said. "Don't talk to me french, it reminds me of frogs, yesterday I ate frog, it was not tasty, not at all.... Now give me that human, I haven't ate real food for days now!"
...Unknown time later...okay 5 minutes later...
"God, that Human was DAMN GOOD!" Milky yelled. "WHAT!? WWWWHHHHAATTTT?!!??!?!?! Did you just said "GOD"...you... you believe in god!? You are the worst AI ever created!" The Good Doctor raged.
"You see, I, The Good Doctor, have been in places you can't even imagine!..." Milky cut him in the middle "Actually I can, I have access to your memories...idiot." The Good Doctor was silent "Fine you win this one, but you shall lose MILKY CREAM!"
"Just poke it with a damn stick Milky!" The Good Doctor said, as Milky was looking at some weird looking creature The Good Doctor tractored after destroying some space craft. Milky poked it. "Ew, it pukes!" he said, as the creature emitted blue liquid from it what appears to be mouth. "How does it feel like Milky?" The Good Doctor asked. "Like human after 20 minutes in an oven at defrost mode." Milky naturally replied. "Yup, "Ew" indeed... Anyway, does it speak, can I test on it?" The Good Doctor said. Milky poked the creature again, green matter started to drop from the poking area. "Good job Milky, you killed it, you are talented, in the rare times you try no to kill it, you still kill it." The Good Doctor said angrily.
"But...But you told me to just poke it!" Milky yelled. "Yes Milky, poke, not stab, POKE. there's a difference you know..." The Good Doctor brought a service robot to clean the creature "I wonder how will it do as a fuel... lets check" The Good Doctor sent the dead creature to the engines room, a large green-blue flame was made, but nothing other then spectacular show of colors was done "Hey Doc' at least it's good as fireworks... Lets try to do the same with human, maybe there is sub-spicy that have wonderful coloring upon burning too!" Milky was excited.
"Alright Milky, here have subjects from 23 to 204, I am sure one of them will have... colorful death HAHAHAHA" The Good Doctor said in evil voice.
Milky laughed "Oh boy, your evil voice suck! like one of those old vampire movies, when the vampire is about to bite the girl and then the hero barges in and kill the vampire"
"Yes Milky, only in my movie I bite the girl, then make a Chinese food out of the human" The Good Doctor tried to explain.
"And then?" Milky said. "And then nothing, don't try Chinese Food Mind-tricks on me boy." The Good Doctor said in victorious tone.
an alarm was activated across the ship "what now?!" The Good Doctor was angry.
a blue looking creature was near the ship, it was unclassified by the ship's logs. The Good Doctor tried to abduct it, it dodged. "Milky, hold onto something, I am about to test!" The Good Doctor activated his engines, releasing massive amount of energy as it tears apart time and space near it. The poor creature was disassembled to millions of pieces, The Good Doctor brought a large piece on board, saved all data that could be extracted from it and sent it to Milky "Bon appetit".
"There is nothing you can do Doc, really nothing." Milky Cream shook his head lightly. "But mine herr... the pain..." a 30-years-old-looking guy was on operation desk speaking very quietly. "Ja Ja, I can!" The Good Doctor said. "I have this new invention I made, it's original purpose was to see how much pain human can take without dying, but I guess it could heal you!". The poor man that sat on the operation desk smiled. The Good Doctor could be heard yelling "Unleash Ze Uberfast Erneuerer!!!" The Good Doctor did his maniac laughter. Milky Cream facepalmed "Doc, you don't have good Rheinlander accent, Just... stop it..." The Good Doctor yawned "I am sorry dear Mr. Cream but I am inspired by this wonderful man." Milky Cream raised an eyebrow "You are not human...", The Good Doctor laughed "Of course I am not, but our friend here, Mister..."
.:Medic Ze Uber:.
Ring Ring...Ring Ring... "Who is this?" The Good Doctor asked. "It's 1337-4ever-<strike>AFK</strike> sunshine!" The Voice replied.
"Wait a second! I didn't summon you!" The Good Doctor was suspicious. "You didn't, but command protocol TROUB-13 did. Anyway, I have a name for you Medic Ze Uber" 1337-4ever-<strike>AFK</strike> said. The Good Doctor seemed happy "Good, Good. I can honestly say you are my creation, such perfection in names!"
"Hello? Idiot? 2 of us over here..." Milky Cream said. "Oh yes, I was selecting a name for the other creation of mine over here, see Milky, you are not alone anymore! Anyway, I pronounce you, former human, MEDIC ZE UBER! oh and Milky, be kind enough to remind me to delete protocol TROUB-13, will ya?" "Aye sure" Milky replied, he had no intention to remind The Good Doctor about it.
The Good Doctor was quite happy, He manged to remove the most idiotic protocol he have ever had installed on his software Artificial Intelligence, Yes, He managed to get rid of the itch. "I SHALL NOW PARTY!" He yelled across every communication he had, at the same moment, with the slimiest chance that could ever be thought about, Akashi Haikiri, a former mercenary and now a well known party hitchhiker, or in more simple words: "a drunk", flew by in his Dromedary filled with buzz, women, other "party hitchhikers", and loads of illegally gained songs and tracks. "A party? That's where we are going! call the all of the former gang Hinata-San!" she did so. The party was none-stop 4 days until the buzz ran low, even The Good Doctor managed to develop a way which he will be able to taste drinks, he simply possessed Medic Ze Uber's body.
Akashi approached The Good Doctor "Doctor-San, we have a problem, the buzz won't stand for more then 2 more days, and frankly we are all poor and most of our stuff are either stolen or... well only stolen." The Good Doctor seemed a bit worried, but then a smile was all over his face, even small smiling smiles could be seen in his eyes "We'll just raid planets and passer-by ships for the buzz!" Akashi thought for a moment "A great idea, let's go party!" They set the coordinates toward the nearest planet, which by great randomness (again) was the poor planet Kurile.
The Good Doctor was put on still, the energy that supplied the ship's engines ran low dramatically in resent time, after the itch was gone. The itch was in fact the fuel that kept the ship going, but without it the ship ran out of energy and reached critical areas before it could reach planet Kurile, where it will resupply with all sorts of things.
"Hmmm, Milky, what you think we should do?" The Good Doctor asked his creation. "Well Doc' I have an idea, you were used to be fueled by the itch, now you can be fueled by joy!" Milky said, with somewhat tone of victory in his voice. "Joy? What you are bloody talking about?"
"Joy of the people in the never-ending-party. You can use it as a fuel, the pheromones and energy they use, and the joy energy itself!" Milky said, with extreme pleasure of beating up The Good Doctor. "Hmm, not a bad idea! not at all! plus we can keep them alive for ever, with my force-the-living machine, I can keep them younger for much longer! but the alcohol... so necessary to the party... never mind, I have an idea to solve that too!"
Slowly, nearly unnoticeable movement, the heavy sluggish parts moved. It was seemed to be a tropical world. Gigantic trees and rich wildlife everywhere, but this was not the interest of the sentient machine. Few metal blocks formed. "Zit zit zap zapoo?" asked one of them "Dit!" said the other, quite sure of himself. The few metal blocks looked on the ground, more blocks were there they didn't respond. All of a sudden a movement - something was in the trees, it jumped on the just-formed metal block assembly. The assembly wasn't too happy about this sudden irritating move, The monkey-like creature was torched in flames, and from the flames rose a new baby one. As the baby made his first moves in this hostile world, a large bird came and kidnapped it. It carried the newly born monkey-like creature about 3 kilometers in the air and dropped it. The baby, which was not in a natural state for his kind had very few time to come in mind with his identity. "Thank you for the drive! oooo what are these, big green things I am coming toward so fast? They need a head turning name like... tr...tri...tree... TAMPLOLO! Yes, I shall call them tamplol..." the poor creature was slammed in the ground, where parts of him could be found in a distance of 300 meters from each other, at least 300 meters anyway.
The machine frowned, she just started to like its new creation and it was already dead. "Zit zap, zapper zop" one of the metal blocks decided. It rose up, it seemed to be rather tall, snake-like in it's shape. A program rose to life "Wooooohooooo, this is all so exciting, wait what is that!?! or that? or ttttthhhaaaatttt?!" the program, which started to examine each and every air molecule it found gone nuts, and was classified by the machine as idiot. The machine searched for the mind core. It found it and got attached. More and more parts slowly assembled, and the Snake-like machine started to get a better shape... it was The Good Doctor, and it was angry. "YOU!" the two huge speakers caused a few trees to move out of their place, sending them 500 meters away killing a happy family of beaver-like animal, well, ex-happy family now. The Good Doctor shot one of its surgery lasers on the bird, it fell down into a large lake. "Don't kill my creations, you bloody bastard!".
The Good Doctor fueled with the rich mineral and metal pockets that were found on the planet and took off. As it emerged from the atmosphere it spotted a large luxury liner, its name was Shetland. "Weird" said the doctor "I have no idea why would humans use a name so similar to crapland. Oh well, I always said they are stupid."
The heavy ship moved on. One of the animals on the planet seemed to be rather smart since on The Good Doctor's rear it was clearly written in English "Kick Me" with blood.
