GUARDIANS: General Upgraded Android Responsible for Dangerous Infiltration, Assassination and Nocturnal Sabotage
The GUARDIANS line was meant to be the ultimate in droid sabotage, espionage... and assassination.
Its programming was extensive, of course. Its ability to plan its actions based on its location unprecedented. It was meant to be merciless, tireless, nearly indestructible, capable of defending itself and responding to threats, and completely obedient to its master. It was never meant to be an Artificial Intelligence, and certainly not to have a will of its own.
GUARDIANS was the prototype designed for field testing. Its abilities were tested, bugs worked out, upgrades installed, and field tested again. No one knows whether one, or several of the upgrades resulted in some kind of emergent sentience.
No one raised an eyebrow when it began to patrol the complex on its own. Field testing was extensive, and happening almost round the clock. Someone was always working on something involving the prototype. Its programming was designed to ensure that it would become familiar with the layout of any building or location it was assigned to. Its patrols slowly expanded day by day. The guards jumped when it first joined them on the walls of the complex for the first time, but no one questioned GUARDIANS presence, especially not when it came like clockwork and did the exact same thing each time.
It patrolled the wall, turning its head and scanning the exterior of the complex every five feet; mapping the complex's defenses.
Installation of the Voice Operating Device was a success; minor bugs quickly patched. It spoke little and only in direct response to a direct question. No one thought that the sensors that made up its eyes concealed cunning or intelligence. It wasn't until GUARDIANS was field tested that it all went wrong.
GUARDIANS was supposed to analyze the forest where the rebels were supposedly hiding, map the camp, get an accurate count, and eradicate every last one.
GUARDIANS did not return. The tracking device installed in its inner workings was somehow disabled. The last message GUARDIANS sent was:
++SITUATION ANALYZED. UPDATING MISSION PLAN... UPDATING... UPDATING... COMPLETE. ERADICATING THE REBEL CAMP IS A NEGATIVE. I QUIT.++
Silence fell over the team, then slowly, reluctantly packed up and left. When the most advanced tactical killing machine decides it doesn't like you anymore, it's a very bad idea to argue with it.
