      Notes From A Bionic Womb - J M Prater

      Prater

      Prologue

        A child hasn’t been born in the world in 20 years. Humanity is dying off. No technology has been able to save mankind from the coming extinction. The only hope are androids with the capability of gestating human life; Repros. However, the droids were never approved for use because of 6 failed attempts which resulted in stillborn human children.

      Of the 26 models of Repros manufactured, 24 were decommissioned and disassembled. Two were awoken. They ran.

      Droidkind

      Sarah hadn’t been followed. Relief. Now what? The fastest way back to her apartment was on foot. No one was around. Rainy, dark, San Francisco. Three months to the day, first trimester completed. It was too late. She didn’t know what she was carrying. Not human, not droidkind. What?

      It was illegal, she had committed the worst of crimes. Her kind weren’t supposed to be in human cities, much less renting apartments, not to mention being a surrogate for a childless human couple. But it was too late.

      Sarah was undetectable to humans. She was built perfectly. No one knew. Until now. Soon all would know. A robot carrying a strange human child. A non-life carrying a non-life. An abortion, or fetal retraction was out of the question. Any doctor or street nurse would know the instant Sarah submitted for an exam or tried an invasive back alley procedure.

      I’ll keep the child she thought. I’ll keep it for two months and then leave it on a doorstep somewhere. That was the future, this is the present. Time will run out. She had maybe a week or so but she wasn’t sure.

      More internal electrical impulses. Sarah was receiving another message from the child she carried.

      ‘caelitus mihi vire'

      Off World

      The Magellan Colony on Jupiter was Sarah’s only hope of escape. The ticket was more money then she had seen in her life. Being a surrogate provided her with the funds for nearly all of her journey, but she would need a bit more. Her belly wasn’t terribly large and she could work for the rest of cost. She knew of the pleasure models, prostitution had been legal for decades and Sarah was beautiful. Sex wasn’t ever something she thought about. She’s a machine, the best of the best, but a machine no less. Sex for Sarah was like the idea of a bowel movement, she had no interest nor was she programmed with the desire. She would comply but not enjoy. Even a non-pleasure model could perform for the enjoyment of a human, but never
