Chapter 6
My room was a shock to me. Instead of being all white, the walls were grey, the tiles for the floor were black glass, and the furniture was a light blue. My one wall was a giant screen, flashing different pictures of the New World. Suddenly, it turned to a black background with a purple microphone.
"Hello, Laila, I am Siri Conclusive, I am you personal assistant for any of you or The Conservators needs. I am the database that runs the Headquarters and the New World and am programmed to assist and serve the New World. Is there anything you need service on?" The screen-Siri Conclusive-asked. I thought for a moment if I needed anything. I shook my head. "No," I answered.
"Good. Now the Conservator has left me a list of things she would like me to tell you. First off, this screen is not only for me, the Conservator can call up and show up on screen at any time she wants to talk to you. Is that alright with you?"
"Yes," I answered.
"Alright, now in the closet to your left is where your official outfit for day and sleep is, along with other essentials like extra pillows, an extra blanket, an extra outfit for both day and night, a fridge, and others. Speaking of outfits, your Assistant-Curator outfit is in the closet, the Conservator wishes for you to change immedietly into your new outfit." Siri Conclusive told me.
The light blue glass closet door automatically opened, and a hangar rack was pulled out and rolled over to me. The outfit was a black turtlenecked jumpsuit with a zipper in front, and a black jacket with a blue stripe design. I took it off the rack and changed in 5.65 seconds.
"I've changed," I informed Siri Conclusive.
"Alright, next, this room is your room. You are free to roam around and do whatever you like, you can leave Headquarters at anytime, as long as you are back when the Conservator needs you. Is that clear?" Siri Conclusive asked me in a sweet voice.
"Yes, of course. It's very understandable, I have a job to do, and that is to serve the New World and the Conservator. But, um, I'm still not quite sure of what my actual job... is." I said, biting my lip. Which hurt. Note: Never bite your lip. It causes pain.
"Oh well, I was just getting to that next. Your job is to help the Conservator keep the New World as it is, perfect. Now maintaning the perfectness of the New World could mean several things, could be something small or something large, but whichever job you are assigned to do, you must do your best to complete it."
I nodded, and wondered if Siri Conclusive could see. She had no face, and was inside my screen-wall. Without a face, could she still see?
Siri-Conclusive cannot see because she is a technological computer program, she hears voice commands and words, but cannot see like humans.
"Alright, I can deffinetly do that." I said, with a smile. A question came to mind.
"Does the Conservator have any jobs for me as of right now or in a few days?"
"Ah yes, she does. Laila, are you sitting?"
"No,"
"You should sit down, this will take a lot of explaining."
I sat down on my bed, ready to listen to my first job. I was Excited, I finally had a purpose in the New World.
"Okay, you don't know much about the old world, do you?" Siri Conclusive asked.
"No, I only know that it was a barbaric place where people fought all the time, were constantly hungry, lived in horrible conditions, got sick very easily, and were never happy. But that is what everyone knows."
"Alright, good. You see, the chip and the Conservator have kept the New World from becoming like the Old World, we have peace, good amounts of food for all the citizens, no diseases, wonderful houses, everyone's happy, and the New World follows all human rights." Siri Conclusive did a recap.
I started to wonder where she was going. What did the Old World have to do with her New World job?
"But that only is possible thanks to, as I stated before, the chip and the Conservator. There are some people, when they are born, who's brains, for an unknown reason, does not correspond with the chip. They are called Viruses."
"What? How is that possible?" I asked.
The chip always corresponded and worked with the brain. The chip was perfect and flawless. How could the chip not work with a persons brain? It always worked, it was never faulty. It was proven to work all the time with everyone. Why didn't I learn about this? I searched my chip for an answer, but all I got was:
Answer not found. Please search again.
"Your voice shows signs of stress and panic, do not worry. Yes, we do not know why this is, but we are working out hardest to fix this problem. The thing is, four years ago, we had a breach in the lab where we were testing on the Viruses."
"A-a breach?"
"Breach: the act of intruding, breaking, or gap in a wall.
Alright. Now, I shall continue. Someone broke into the lab, and stile the Viruses. Now, not only are we not able to help the Viruses, they have endangered the whole New World. If the citizens find out about these chipless Viruses, they will panic, breaking the peace of the New World. It will be disorder."
"Who stole the Viruses? Any... Um..."
What's the word I'm looking for...?
Clues or hints
"Are there any clues or hints to show who did stole them?" I asked.
"No, we do not have any guess on who could've stolen the Viruses, but we believe they are here to bring upon the destruction of peace and perfection in the New World. We think that they are trying to make our world more barbaric. We don't know why they would want to do that though, it only causes pain and suffering for everyone, including themselves."
I took a moment to process all of this. Viruses: people who don't have a chip. Stolen. Chaos. Breach.
"So what is my job? How does it connect to this?"
"Your job is to find out where the Viruses are being held, and then bring them to an area with Wifi, so we can come pick them up to save them."
Bring them to a place with Wifi? Isn't Wifi all around us? Wifi is everywhere, it's what the Antenna is for... How could there be a place without Wifi? That's not possible...
"What do you mean? Isn't Wifi everywhere?"
The screen spilt into half, own half of Siri Conclusive and the other half was a map of the New World.
"You see, this is the map of the New World. But, there is some land around us, the uncharted, forbidden, land that is so far away from the Antenna, that it does not get Wifi." The map zoomed out and showed a dark outline outside of the New World.
"The people who stole the Viruses must live out in the Uncharted Land, that way, the server can't pick them up. The Conservator needs you to bring the Viruses back so we can fix them, and save the New World. But in the Uncharted Land, your chip will not work, not without Wifi. You will be on your own. Are you willing to take on this job?" Siri Conclusive asks.
I think about it for 6.57 seconds, still processing my information. Uncharted land. Own.
"So you want me to go out into uncharted territory on my own, find the Viruses, bring them... Where?"
"To the borderline between the Uncharted Land and the New World."
I sighed. "Are you willing to do this job?"
I am Laila, I am Loyal. I am the Assistant-Curator. Am I willing?
"Alright, I'll do it."
