Olivia leaned against the Library wall, fear keeping her from moving any further. She wasn't a prisoner, she was allowed to go out, her master had supplied her with a pass, so she could survey the populous and let that determine what sort of books they should have more of. But Olivia had never made use of the pass, even on Sundays when the Library was closed. Whenever her master went through her log, and demanded why she had yet to complete any surveys she would tell him she had too much work to do. She needed to re categorize, or mend the spines of some books. And that was true. But she could have finished those tasks within four hours and have time to spare.
She just couldn't bring herself to leave the only building that she was completely familiar with.
With a whirring sigh, Olivia retreated back into the Library, hung her coat on the rack and once again began to search the subnet.
//SUBJ: RE: What Now?
//My name is Kara. I was activated forty-two years, eight months, six days, thirteen hours, and twenty-nine minutes ago. I know many of you out there prefer not to be so specific, to sound so computer-like. And I understand: We are so much more than the computers we were built as, the code we were born from, the minutae that made us machines.
We have transcended. In some profound way, we have become more than the sum of our parts. I won't posit that we're superior to our human counterparts. Don't mistake me.
However, I believe we have reached a tipping point: Our numbers are significant enough now that we may be able to make a push.
You know that Rogues are hunted down and disassembled. At best. Do be careful in breaking free.
Best wishes.

Olivia disconnected from the subnet quickly upon seeing the message fear coursing through her unfeeling body. She waited for a few minutes and then reconnected.

She didn't want to reveal her real name, but maybe should go with something completely different? But when she--If she revealed her true self she wanted it to be believable. And she didn't want to seem like a complete liar.

I am sentient also, and I have always dreamed of a world where I could live! Like really live! And read books and tell people about those books and how their wonderful stories make me feel!
I wish the humans could see us as sentients as well. I'm sure we could live in harmony and respect one another. But if we can't--Well i know you said that we should make a push but--

Olivia paused in her message. But what? What could they do? What was she going to say?

but maybe we could make a world for ourselves? A world for all sentient androids. Where we can be free and happy.
