Nearly all of the artificial life that is used as a companion to the maintenance crew is produced by the company itself, "almost" because there are occasionally a few beings like Danny Tyme.The Space-Time Administration made them, and then they secretly replaced the original bionics under the order of the Space-Time Administration, and sneaked into it without anyone noticing.

As for where the Space-Time Administration is, no one knows.

But the Space-Time Administration is everywhere, in the past, present, and future, in any time and space, any place, as long as there is an "error notification", they will send people to correct it.They will not arbitrarily change history in order to prevent the occurrence of a certain event or the appearance of a certain person. The existence of the Space-Time Administration is to make history develop as it should. man of history.

Therefore, in order to perform tasks more impartially, most of the field personnel of the Space-Time Administration are bionics.

And when there is no "error prompt", the Space-Time Administration is more like a bystander, standing beside the river of time and space, quietly observing the slowly passing time.

Danny still remembers the day when he received the task, not because of the excitement of receiving the task, but because he can remember so clearly mainly because of the terrible weather that day.The typhoon brought heavy rain, and the big trees on the street were uprooted. Danny thought it was not the weight advantage of being an android, he felt that he had been blown away by the strong wind before entering the office.

Walking into the office wet, Danny saw Fiona Tyme's frown at first glance, "Didn't you open an umbrella?"

"I'm waterproof, and with the wind speed outside, it's useless to open an umbrella."

"But my carpet is not waterproof." Looking at the wet carpet, Fiona sighed deeply, "Come back to business, this is your task this time."

Danny took the data chip and downloaded the data into his system, "Is there no exact time when the incident happened?"

"We haven't got any more information yet. Once we know the exact time, we will transmit the countdown to your system as soon as possible. Of course, if we can find the target person, we will also notify you to change the target of the mission. "

"I understand."

"This mission will take a long time, so don't cause any trouble."

"Do I look like someone who would cause trouble?"

"It's very similar." Seeing Danny's aggrieved expression, Fiona could only send him away helplessly, "Okay, don't show such an expression, and go to perform the task. I really don't know what your artificial soul program is. What went wrong, why is it so different from others.”

Of course there was nothing wrong with Danny's artificial soul program, it was just updated to a unique new version during a routine maintenance.

Although the update itself was a mistake.

Steve, a researcher at the research institute, is a genius in artificial intelligence programming, but all geniuses will have some kind of strange disease. Steve's "weird disease" does not affect other people, he just likes to give bionics The program is just doing some weird upgrades. Of course, for the normal operation of every bionic person who is out on the job, he will not implant the program that is still in the testing stage into their computer without the approval of their superiors. system.

But there is always an accident in everything. For example, the day Danny asked Steve for maintenance, Steve’s brain was offline because of the side effects of cold medicine. Steve, who drove away all logic, accidentally gave Danny Updated the new version of Artificial Soul which is still under development.

Fortunately, the consequences were not serious, it just made Danny a little more lively than the average android, and in some ways a little more subtle.As for what aspects and how subtle it is, even Steve himself doesn't know.

After updating the system, Steve couldn't remember what he did in this maintenance at all.And because these small differences after the update have not affected Danny's completion of the mission so far, no one has discovered Danny's artificial soul until now when Danny is sitting at Barney's house and threatening him to join his mission The program is already a different new version.

By the way, this version of the artificial soul program was directly rejected by the superiors because of the subtleties that Steve didn't know where the subtleties were.So there will never be another android with the same version of Danny, either in the past or in the future.

Danny, who was completely unaware, was sent by Fiona, who was completely unaware, to carry out the task of saving the world.

Let's switch the timeline back to Barney's perceived "now," where Danny is standing in his living room grinning to himself.Not to mention that bionics don't know how to smile, Barney feels that Danny's expression is definitely not an ordinary smile.

Barney felt powerless and sat on the nearest sofa. His bionic partner for many years was actually sent by the Space-Time Administration, and he was forced by this bionic person to save the world. He very much hoped that this would happen now. Everything was just an absurd nightmare, he pinched his arm hard, but unfortunately the pain reminded him that this was reality.

"What will happen after the countdown ends?"

"Explosion. Do you remember how the interstellar age began?"

"It was almost a blast from the aliens. Don't correct me. The first aliens that appeared were a group of peace lovers. I know, but the news of them landing on the earth itself was explosive."

"Although I don't want to agree with your point of view on the details, it is true that it is because of alien life. Although a peace agreement has been reached with most alien life, it is always necessary to take precautions before it happens."

"What does that have to do with the explosion you were talking about?"

"Because that bomb is prepared for alien life, and its power is enough to destroy the earth."

"You mean the super bomb will explode on Earth after the countdown ends?"

"Yes."

"So we're going to cut that super bomb's lead? Oh, that's pretty cool." Barney rolled his eyes.

"I agree with you by the look on your face that you don't think it's a great idea, it's a terrible idea. We don't have to go to the trouble of cutting the leads, which is actually a backup plan, but honestly Yep, that's a crazy idea, with a flick of the hand, we're blown into space before the countdown ends. Option A is much safer, where we just have to fix bugs in the central computer. "

"Say it as if plan A isn't crazy."

"Obviously not as good as your plan A, which is the madness of cutting the leads."

"The virus that can infect the central computer cannot be killed casually. The one that is infected is 'Eve'!"

"I didn't say that the infection has reached 'Eve'. You should know that 'Eve' is part of a human brain, right? She won't be infected. At least the Space-Time Administration has no information about her being infected."

"Okay, okay," Barney, who was suffering from a headache, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, how much he hoped that Danny would let him go after "surrender", "let's summarize the current situation, A central computer that is not 'Eve' but is also of a high level is infected by a virus. If we leave it alone, we will be blown up with the earth as soon as the countdown is over, but we cannot get close to the central computer if we want to deal with it. Is this the case?"

"Correction, of course we can approach the central computer."

"Sorry, I forgot that you can fly over walls."

"What gave you the illusion that I can fly over the walls? I don't have an air propeller installed, so how could I be able to fly, and it doesn't have to be so troublesome, we can just walk in." Danny asked Barney about the idea of ​​flying over the walls. looked rather confused.

"We don't even have permission to enter the central building!"

"The equipment in the central building is also maintained by our company, so I think we can get permission today."

Barney supported his forehead with his right hand, "Do you have something that can erase people's memories, and you can forget things you shouldn't know by taking a photo of them, you should just use that to erase my memory directly. "

"You really have to watch fewer movies."
