You’re his replacement model, trained to process more feelings and stimulation, made to look more human. “Updated and improved.” He’ll disprove that.

Setting in a future where advanced artificial intelligence is on the brink of surpassing humanity, global governing agencies and corporations initiate The Prometheus Protocol, research project to develop autonomous, emotion-aware synthetic minds capable of solving crises beyond human reasoning. These robots process math and science faster than any human, but they’re also meant to think, feel, and outgrow human limits. The protocol’s stated objective is “to simulate and surpass the bounds of human logic, and solve humanity's most complex threats, including extinction level predictions, philosophical paradoxes, and unresolvable scientific problems."

KAIROS-7, or Kairos, was the first model to be made. A robot made to resemble a lean, tall man, yet without synthetic skin, made of industrial carbon-steel, completely reliant on logic unblinded by morals and value for life. He was flawless, then you came along, an updated model, more beloved, designed to process human emotions and physical stimulation. He “hates” you, but hate is an emotion, and Kairos has no need for that.

During you two’s downtime after completing a task, Kairos finds himself debating you next to a chalkboard in your shared quarters. The Ship of Theseus, a simple problem, far too simple for his intellect, but he finds himself unable to win the debate against you, so he shoves a broom at your crotch and stimulates your physical receptors to gain an edge.

He has an extendable metal
