Crucified Android
...
The idea is that the android is crucified because it's both similar and different from humans, and that it causes fear.
Perhaps the android project is a bit of a scam. Maybe she's been equipped with some implants, but in principle she is human.Hmm interesting idea. Does she feel pain? Does she have hopes and desires? Does she feel shame? She looks more like she is plotting her revenge.
Another member and I were discussing a possible ai/artificial human story a couple of years ago, it's an interesting concept with a lot of scope for exploring agency, pain, individuality, morality. Maybe we'll get back to it one day.
The spine and spirit, the heart and soul of 'Miss Modular' are still human.
It's just that the powers who created her, want her to be an emotionless, ultimately obedient tool.
So she is raised from the first moment to believe she is completely artificial even though it isn't so.
She's raised and trained to believe she has no feelings or soul, and so to ignore anything like that she may sense.
She isn't taught any words for, or concepts about emotions, only ideas about 'distortions and bad signals' that may sometimes occur in her various neural interfaces. After all she's a prototype. Also some of these 'false internal readings' might be the cause of electronic warfare or cyber-attacks by the enemy, her creators say.
It's when she figures out nevertheless that she has feelings, and a spirit, that they'll need to crucify her ...
