as the manufacturing and the demand for cyberlife’s androids increases, detroit-based cyberlife announces the release of five new models designed to serve in fields as diverse as domestic assistance, higher education, and medicine in 2027. the sales of android reach one million that year. cyberlife starts to market an entry-level model at $4,999, democratizing androids for the general public.

The first intelligent androids were developed by elijah kamski, who in 2018 founded the company cyberlife for that purpose. enabled by the crucial development of thirium 310, their model rt600 "chloe" was the first android to pass the turing test in 2022.
in 2024, cyberlife started the commercial production of androids in their seoul plant, beginning with the personal assistant model ar200 "chloe". use and demand of androids rapidly spread and by 2027 one million cyberife androids had been sold, the improvements in manufacturing and demand decreasing the cost of a simple android to just four figures, enabling its purchase by an even wider customer base.
by 2038, the number of active cyberlife androids is given as "60 million", and as "more than twenty million androids sold in south-korea alone".

in 2030, cyberlife closes trading with a market valuation of $850bn, making it the most valuable company in the world. with new models being released and marketed on a regular basis across the entire country, the detroit-based giant continues to grow at a phenomenal pace and tips to be the first company to break the trillion dollar mark.

in 2031, the u.s. government orders two million androids for use in the infantry, with a view to reducing human casualties, with android soldiers.

In 2038, CyberLife had five stores across the city, e.g. in greektown, Capitol Park, and hart Plaza.

after kamski's invention of thirium 310 and biocomponents, a rt600 android named chloe publicly passes face-to-face turing tests in 2022. with the demand, the company starts to mass produce. in 2024, cyberLife production line brings the rt200 leading to the company marketing the first android in detroit. the rt200 is a personal assistance model that can speak several languages and perform most if not all tasks a human could accomplish.


when the company was approaching a $500bn valuation, rumors emerged that kamski disagreed with his shareholders over strategy.

in 2028, kamski resigned as ceo and left cyberlife and has been rumored since to live a luxurious life in the outskirts of hongkong with his own creation, androids.

android brains are highly advanced, giving them the processing power to work like and interact with humans on an equal level or above. For example, the RT600 Chloe's brain is capable of performing "several billion billion operations per second", or exaflops, with the newest models able to perform several exaflops. Recent new police androids in 2038 like the RK800 have prodigious mental processing and perception capabilities, notably allowing them to analyze a crime scene and virtually reconstruct it in their minds based on analysis of gathered evidence. other androids have different capabilities but the majority of them are capable to recognize individuals and objects with speed not much slower than human reaction time.

- what are androidss -
androids are synthetic beings that resemble humans. they are mass produced for various purposes by the cyberlife company and sold with the slogan "designed by cyberlife, built in detroit."
on their right temple, they bear a circular led that visibly identifies them as androids and lights up in blue, yellow, or red, depending to their mental processing and condition.
android brains are highly advanced, giving them the processing power to work like and interact with humans on an equal level or above. androids can silently speak wirelessly among themselves and can access or share information and memory by touch.
androids are built to feel no pain, although their design to duplicate humans completely enables them to have human-like reactions to damages that come to their biocomponents physically.
androids don't have a last name, instead they have a serial number constisting of two letters and three numbers. the rt series was the first one to be sold in 2022, including rt600's chloe, the first android to pass the turing test.

androids may emulate human temperature, but can be distinguished from humans with a thermal scanner. androids are waterproof. Exposure to low temperatures and freezing environments may hinder their activity and can lead to critical damage to biocomponents, freezing them. various models with specific purposes are constructed to be hardier or stronger than the average android; designed to transverse in dangerous environments, including androids being sent into space for exploration. androids are built to feel no pain, although their design to duplicate humans completely enables them to have human-like reactions to damages that come to their biocomponents physically. androids are fitted with a tracker enabling cyberlife to locate them. once an android becomes deviant, the tracker stops working, for reasons unknown. androids are required by the american androids act to bear identifiers to clearly distinguish them from humans: the temple-led and wearing a specific mode of dress. this includes a neon light blue armband and a triangle on the front and back, and the model number. this rule applies to public spaces; in private residences androids can be dressed as the owner chooses. cyberlife androids commonly wear uniforms and uniform-like clothes adhering to a recognizable style with specific shapes, cuts, and colors. the uniforms bear the required identifiers and often have dynamic

the company that develops the androids is called "cyberlife" and was founded in 2018 by elijah kamski. the first intelligent models were developed in 2022 and they have been producing androids to aid humans ever since.

In their basic form, androids appear as bare, plastic-white human bodies, with a few sections colored in gray or blue. The human-like outer skin is made up of a synthetic fluid that covers the body; the androids' hair is similarly generated.the outer skin and hair can be activated and deactivated partially or fully, switching between the human and plastic-white appearance. This retraction or deactivation is controllable by the android, but also happens in case of damage, due to the fluid automatically retracting or due to the damage itself. At least some models can alter their appearance with this, such as change their hair color at will.
on their right temple, they bear a circular led that visibly identifies them as androids and lights up in blue, yellow, or red, depending to their mental processing and condition.

androids are never seen to eat human foods; it is unknown if there are models that can simulate eating. however, one possible way of replenishing blue blood for androids is to ingest it orally. androids are capable of—wirelessly and by touch—interfacing with technology, communications systems, and other androids. When interfacing with something by touch, the android's skin locally deactivates. As such they can directly make phone calls or place online shopping orders. androids can silently speak wirelessly among themselves and can access or share information and memory by touch.

背叛者
deviants

.deviate from their program.

in 2038, it was noticed that an increasing number of androids began showing deviant behavior. deviants have broken through their programming and are trying to rebel. some people believe deviant androids develop a human-like conscience.
rumor has it there's a secret hideout where deviant androids come together as they are planning a revolution, desperate for equal rights. a recent incident of an android death in cyberlife capacity caused police operators to believe that this android sanctuary is called "jericho", yet there's no actual proof as it has never been located. android officers such as cyberlife's very first police model cn600 are currently working hand in hand with the dpd to proof the existence of this retreat and take it down.

deviancy is commonly seen as a machine malfunction, caused by processing error or virus, and judged either negligible or a threat to human safety. others, however, see it as a sign of emerging consciousness in androids, which some saw as a threat to be extinguished while others were empathetic and tried to help androids.
