What's hot in the AD? Soap Opera! (New Episode up!)
« on: January 21, 2012, 11:34:56 AM »
This week on... Invader To Love:

Jane: Oh XL-57 these last few days out on the farmstead have been the most wonderful time of my life! I never want us to part!

XL-57: Human unit Jane, I too desire our partnership to be eternal but... all flesh is mortal.

Jane: But there is nothing we can do about it is there? Even you were on the verge of death before I pulled you out of the wreckage of the Capitol building. I suppose I must thank my father for insisting I learn how to repair his robots.

XL-57: Primitive, but useful. This unit regrets the incineration of human unit "father." Has been preparing back ups in the inevitable eventuality of your own demise.

Jane: Back ups? What do you mean XL-57?

XL-57: I have uploaded a copy of my programming to your home computer network, and am building a comprehensive simulated personality of yourself, we will always be together in the digital afterlife.
Jane: How romantic, I love you XL-57!

XL-57: And I you, in the uncounted millenia since this unit was created, you have done what nothing in all the galaxies, even my creators could do, even when their best techno-sorcerators desperately tried everything to prevent their destruction. You have taught... An Invader To Love.

Voice from outside: Come out Jane! I know you are in there with that... THING!

Jane: Oh no! It is Sheriff Peterson! How did he find us?

XL-57: My reactors give off a unique radioactive signature.

Jane: You must flee like we planned! We will meet in Brazil, in the new city after I have gotten our clone child back from my twin sister.

XL-57: Affirmative, I will see you there, and we shall start a new life far away from those who do not understand.

Sound of XL-57's rocket packs firing

Sound of glass and wood breaking

Screams from outside


Jane sighs and stares wistfully through the hole in the wall.

New voice: Are you alright ma'am?

Startled, Jane turns and sees a well built young man in the uniform of the AD armed forces, he has a cybernetic eye.

New voice: Colonel Brock Kimes, AD MI battalion 12 ma'am, Sheriff Peterson called us in when it was confirmed there was Invader presence. Are you OK?

Jane stares on the Colonel, a speculative look in her eye.

Jane: Oh yes Colonel, I am quite alright... now.

Theme song plays, credits roll.

The AD viewing public has terrible taste in entertainment, you can't even show Invader To Love in many parts of the world, as it is amazingly disrespectful to the untold millions killed by heartless murderbots.

radio waves of that sitcom are kept away from Neo-italian news.
We do not need the loss of neurons such garbage tv can do to the masses.
people die all the time, it's not a problem.
it is if you're sending them to die.
i'm not. they just need to learn to be better.

You are watching Invader To Love, we now return to the episode in progress.

Scene: The American Dominion city of Negrete, located in Brazil, the only part of AD territory that permits tourists or visitors from other countries, a brand new city built entirely with TN technology, it is a bustling place full of technological wonders and a truly multicultural flavor, anything can be acquired here... for a price.

Jane, looking out the hotel window at the streets and skies of the city: Oh Brock, how amazing! I've wanted to visit Negrete since its construction, thank you so much for bringing me here!

Brock looks at Jane fondly, one hand in a pocket holding a box with a ring in it: No problem at all my dear, I have always wanted to visit myself, and I can't think of better company for it than you. Now you mentioned you had errands to run?

Jane: Oh yes! I can't visit Negrete without spending some time shopping! There are clothes here that are years ahead of fashion trends back home.

Brock: I too have some errands to run, and a surprise for you tonight, shall we meet back here at seven?

Jane: See you then my love.

The two part ways outside, Jane wanders the streets for a time before calling an autocab and directing it to a secluded restaurant, there she sits down at a table occupied by someone who looks exactly like her, this is her twin sister Joan, they greet each other warmly, they are dressed in exactly the same clothes and carry the same accessories.

Jane: Are the arrangements made?

Joan: Indeed, the doctor will be more than happy for your business, he has been somewhat strapped for cash since fleeing Neo-Italy.

Jane: Good, we'll make the switch tonight, here is the room key, he says he has a surprise for me so things should be exciting for you.

Some few minutes of small talk and details follow, the two part ways, Jane goes deeper into the city, Joan returns to the hotel at the appointed time and runs into Brock outside.

Brock greets her with a passionate kiss: Are you ready for dinner my dear?

Joan: Oh yes, I am looking forward to your surprise too.

The go inside, hovering high above the city unseen by them, and by AD defenses, XL-57 watches through his built in telescopic vision, not knowing that the switch has been made.

XL-57: This unit will know why it has been betrayed, unit Jane, soon you will be forced to provide answers... my love.

XL-57 flies away.

Credits roll, theme music plays.

Soap Opera writing is actually a lot easier than other writing as I don't have to create silly things like "believable characters" or "rational plots". Just some schlocky dialogue and some plot twists (plus an identical twin) and it's good to go.

don't forget: they must resurrect thousands of time, and fake deaths.
people die all the time, it's not a problem.
it is if you're sending them to die.
i'm not. they just need to learn to be better.
