The Armed Republic of Wolmar has recently requested donations of robotic engineering equipment (please, future tech) for the engineering of, what electronic engineers and geneticists have called, "replicants".
"These replicants," says geneticist Rodney Mandra, "are intended to look entirely like humans, feel like humans, move like humans, even reason like humans. The standard robot, designed to follow commands quite simply and efficiently. What robots normally cannot do is reason. We have several theories on how to actually create humans without the arduous incubation periods of cloning. In fact, we theorize that we can mass produce armies of these man-machines and have them successfully blend in and interract with the populace."
"The theory for getting these machines to be able to reason," says robotic engineer Samantha Bine, "is that if the machine were given a capable enough brain and were permitted to 'live' long enough, it would be able to compile enough data to 'think' rationally; that is, make a rational decision in a time of crisis. Since the idea is that after a period of time, the robot will develop this ability, we have decided to give the robots 'histories'. We're going to give them a replica of several other people's memories."
Normally, individual and rational thought emerge at the young age of about three or four. It is predicted that, should these replicants be given three or four years of memory, that they will be able to think rationally. In due time after utilizing this ability, to act as humans do. The replicant will end up developing its own personality, memory, thought processes, and moral standards. In the end, humans can be mass produced without the arduous task of cloning. Instead of a human requiring several months of incubation, after the discovery of direct manufacturing, humans can be produced bu the hundreds daily, in factories across the galaxies.
Since the Wolmarian government has not the necessary facilities for this undertaking, it has released a request to the international space community to donate the necessary equipment. All resources received are requested to be sent to the Nexus corporation.
