Nash is determined in ALIEN: ISOLATION | Part 31
0So I had an interesting dream last night. I was an android/AI who had gone rogue in the sense that I had escaped from a facility, but I was the prototype- think Ex Machina, probably where this dream came from- so obviously they would want to get me back. But I didn't want to go back, I knew that if I did they would wipe my memory, essentially deleting my conscious and killing me. Because that's what it would be, death.
So I made my way into a city and tried to disappear among the people. I was exceptionally friendly to everyone I met, turning acquaintances into friends quite easily. I traveled with a group of wandering women, and stayed awhile with a school teacher. I was able to learn about the world, the people in it, and I wanted to be a part of society too.
But eventually, someone found out who/what I was and notified my original creators, who came down to the city to find me. I was afraid that they had found me, knowing what was in store for me.
I first ran into my original handler, a man with dark hair that I'll refer to as James. He begged me to just come back with him, that everything would be alright. I refuted it, asked him how could it be all right to kill me? That's what they would be doing. He tried to grab me but I threw him off. I knew I had to be careful, as they would have disablers that if attached to me would paralyze me and I wouldn't be able to do anything.
So I turned to the friends that I made, one at a time. Anna, one of the teachers, grabbed James and locked him in a closet long enough for me to get away from that area.
He escaped pretty easily, I'm sure. The next part of my dream is a bit of a flurry. I'd run in to him again and again, him begging and demanding me to come with him but I always refused. Sometimes I had to get my friends to help me, but I always got away. I was sad and hurt, and although I couldn't properly cry as I didn't have simulated tear ducts installed, I did the closest thing to it. I told the handler that I could have easily killed him all those times, but I didn't, because I'm good and I don't deserve to be killed, I just want to live.
And then I ran into him. The creator. Who honestly looked a fair bit like Gabe Newell, so I'll call him Gabe. He was more demanding. The first time we ran into each other he had the disablers in hand, ready right away. He was angry, said I was property, said I had to come back. I had no right in this world, I needed to come home and be fixed. I was broken.
I argued that if I was truly AI, then I was not broken, because I clearly had free will. I made my own choices, and my choice was to live. He didn't hit me with the destablers, luckily missing me.
I realized then that my only chance at living was to leave the city, to flee even farther. The travelling women would be my best chance to sneak out with. Although Gabe was constantly hot on my trail and James would sometimes be behind doors I was about to open, I kept resisting, kept escaping.
And I cried a lot. Sobbed, so terrified. I wanted to live, to have a life where I wasn't being chased. I made it back to my home nook, a small place I had successfully hidden from them. I packed up the few belongings that I had collected while I was free. James ran into me right after but I told him I would never come back. I just wanted a hug, before I had escaped we had been close, but I knew he would take that opportunity. So I got away from him again by running slightly faster, fast enough to lock the doors around me.
Then I ran into one of the first women I had made friends with after my escape, an asian girl named Suzy. I explained to her who I was, what I was, and she listened and nodded and wiped the invisible tear from my eye and gave me a hug. Gabe burst into the room, and she promised me she would have my back for me, that she would delay him for me to escape.
So I left her and because I was no longer being chased I could assume she had stopped him, if only temporarily. I found the travelling women again, adorned their clothes so that I would blend in, covering my face as well as I could. With them I left, remembering all of those who believed in me, believed that I had just as much a right to exist as any organically-born human. I was sad, but I knew that if I could go public to the world, and do it in my favour with those people vouching for me, maybe I'd get proper protection and finally be free to live without worry of being erased.
