"Captain I'm Major Erica Walker from regimental headquarters G-2, here to see General Hawks." "I'll inform the general you're here, Major Walker. Please wait here." Captain Rice told her. "General, there's a major here from regimental headquarters G-2 to see you." The captain told the general. "He'll have to wait. There too much going on right now to talk to someone from G-2 at this moment." The general snapped at Captain Rice. "It's Major Erica Walker, sir." He added. The General looked a little shocked by this news. He knew who Major Erica Walker was. She was the one who got General White his predecessor relieved of this command. "Tell her I'll see her in a couple of minutes." General Hawks told him. Captain Rice left the general's office. General Hawks paced back and forth in front of his desk thinking. 'She's here to sack me I'm sure of it. My staff and General White's staff all believe this, they all said she's a headhunter. Regimental Headquarters G-2 is always looking for someone to blame when things don't go as they think they should. Well, I might as well get this over with.' "Captain Rice, send in Major Walker." The general told him over the intercom. "Major Erica Walker reporting, Sir." She said standing in front of his desk. "Please sit down Major." He told her from his seat behind his desk. "Thank you, Sir," She said and then continued, "I'm here to ask you some questions about the resent battle of the Lower Valley." "I'll be happy to help you as much as I can Major Walker." He replied. "My team and I have been looking at your staff's reports and they both tell a grim story, but you did win the battle. Why?" Major Walker asked. "Major I wished I knew. I was within 15 minutes of ordering a full retreat to our new, but still not completed defense line 20 miles back, when the forward lines reported the enemy had made a hasty retreat from the battleground." He told her. "I see, but you didn't try to advance your troops. Why?" She asked him. "Why! I had less than three battalions left from an entire Army Group. It might have been a trap for what remained of my army. The commanders on the front lines had report the enemy numbers seemed as strong as when the battle started, yet they retreated. I myself ask WHY!" He said. "Then you feel they should have won the battle?" Major Walker asked. "YES, they should have won. I had nothing here or even 20 miles back to stop them." He said. "How much do you know about the first and second battles of the Lower Valley?" Major Walker said. "From what I've read of General White's staff reports it looks like he had two great victories major." He replied. "Yes. General White and his staff did like to praise themselves didn't they. Which is why he and his staff were replaced." Major Erica Walker said with a little smile. "Are you telling me their report is not accurate?" He asked her. "General White lost more than three times the men and equipment you did. He also retreated four times and the enemy also retreated like they did for you. They too didn't seem to be lacking in troops, but they still retreated." She told the general. General Hawks sat there a little puzzled by what he'd just heard. "There is a lot of things missing from those reports. It's taken my team and I over six months talking to personal who had been there and lived. We even checked letters from those who died there to get the truth. You and your staff gave a true report so I'm here now." She told him. "Then you're not here to replace me?" General Hawks asked. "I know a lot of people think I'm just a headhunter General Hawks, but I'm not. Regiment knew General White's reports weren't completely correct. So he was replaced. You're not going to be replaced. If anything you'll be promoted." She said smiling. Hearing this was a relief for the general and for the first time he could that Major Erica Walker was not only nice but a very pretty and young woman too. "I'm glad to hear I'm not being replaced but I think you're here to find out something more than you're telling me. Aren't you?" General Hawks said. "I have a question for you General Hawks. If you were in charge of the enemy plans of attack would you attack the Lower Valley?" She questioned. "Definitely not. It's the worst place to attack." The general said. "Why do you think that?" She asked. "Well it a desert area. Little to no water, even we have to bring water here. Then the desert hills after that. Good for defense but hard for the attacker. After that the Great Desert where more people have died than in these battles." He replied. "And their generals know this too, right." Major Walker stated. "I know they do." The general said. "Sir, what I'm going to tell you is still very secret and not to leave this room." She told him. "Captain Rice, I'm not to be interrupted. Hold all calls and visitors there." He told Captain Rice over the intercom. "During the first battle of the Lower Valley one attack made little sense but not much attention was paid to it. A large group of their commandos slipped through the front lines. Ten miles behind our lines, there was a hospital unit and a supply unit their raiders captured these units. After several hours their front lines surged forward to just beyond this area. Within 30 minutes and without being attacked by enough of our troops to make them move yet they all returned back to the original front line positions and fought harder there than anywhere else on the line. After two hours of this their whole army had left the battleground in a retreat from a battle they were winning." She told him. "Where they after the supplies?" General Hawks said. "No supplies were taken. The people in both the hospital and supply units were shot. It was by firing squads from the look of it." Major Walker told him. "They used a commando unit just to murder everyone in a non-combat unit?" He asked. "Not everyone General Hawks. Among the dead we found two women. A nurse who died before they were captured and a Lieutenant Colonel Mary Morris. She was shot also by a firing squad. She was in charge of the nurses there. There are 35 others missing all the women who worked in the hospital and in supply." She said. General Hawks was shocked by this news. Seeing the look on General Hawks face Major Walker continued. "The second battle of the Lower Valley was almost a repeat of the first. However we had more female soldiers in non-combat units to free up men for fighting. Commando units attacked all of these units in the same way and except for about a half dozen who were shot by firing squads over 300 females soldiers were not found. Also in the North area fighting four towns and cities were attacked the same way. About 100 women were found among the firing squad dead, but almost 15000 women of all ages were missing." She said. "So you believe there kidnapping our women. Why?" He asked. "Maybe? During the first battle about 70% of our soldiers were human and 30% were the X1 Combat Robots. The enemy had 60% humans and 40% X1 type Combat Robots. During the second battle we used 50% humans and 50% X1 Combat Robots, while the enemy had 10% humans 85% X1 type Combat Robots and 5% of what they called the Z1 combat Robot. One of the captured enemy X1 Combat Robots memory told us his commander was a Z2 unit. As you know there is a standing order to capture any Z type Combat unit, which is a problem because they will self-destruct if capture is possible." She explained. "Yes, I know about the Z units. I've lost over 100 humans soldiers and almost 300 X1 Combat Robots who tried to capture a Z type unit. They wait to self-destruct until they can destroy as many as possible of our troops and..." He stopped dead in his statement. "Captain Rice, bring me all the casualty and MIA reports from the battle right now." He told the Captain over the intercom. "All of them Sir?" The Captain responded. "Yes and fast." General Hawks said. In less than 30 seconds Captain Rice and three clerks stacked folders on the desk next to the wall in the General's office and then left. The General picked up one small folder and checked it. "Major Walker, start looking for a folder labeled HQ units 3, 4, and or 5, also any that might be a supply or hospital unit, starting at that end of the table and I'll start at this end." He said without explanation. Major Walker found the HQ folder and put it on the General's desk and continued searching. As the General found a file he placed it on his desk. "That's enough Major Walker. I need to check some things first then I'll give them to you to check." He said as he thumbed through the HQ folder first. In a while he handed it to Major Walker. "I sent 3rd, 4th and 5th units of my HQ back to the second line of defense an hour before I was going to call for a retreat. They never got there. The report I got was they were ambushed and no survivors found. While we were talking I remembered that the ten drivers and three male clerks were found shot like in a firing squad. The ninety females of that unit were not found there." He told her. "Most combat Generals think of the soldiers they need in the front lines to fight the enemy and not about the person typing the orders to do the fighting. For that I'm sorry to have learned a little late." He said. "Don't feel sorry General. It's taken Regimental Headquarters six years to see this pattern. Now we have to find out why." She said. "Does G-2 have any ideas as to what the reason is?" He asked her. "Too many ideas, I'm afraid. The main theory is that the enemy is running out of men. Which is why the increase in robots both X1, Z1 and Z2s." She told him. "I think you have another idea. Correct." He implied. "Yes I do. If they were running out, why in the North battle are there about 70 to 75% humans? Second why more of these Z1 and Z2 units and there a rumor of a Z3 and maybe a Z4 even. The X1 are cheap to make and from what we can see of the Z type they have to cost a lot more. Yet they will self-destruct if capture is possible. Why so much protection? What are they hiding? We can't even find fragments big enough to test." She explained to him. The General opened a small box on his desk and took something out of it. "One soldier I knew was killed by what we thought was a human because he looked like he was bleeding, but he self-destructed as this man got close. Dr. Mills gave this to me telling me it's what killed my man. It looks like a part of a gear from an X1 Robot. Here feel it. Unlike a normal piece steel which feels cool it feels more like your own skin." With that he dropped the piece in her hand. "It doesn't feel like metal." She said. "True. And it's harder than my knife blade. If I had known Regimental HQ was looking for pieces of what a Z unit was made of I would have sent it in." He said. "Can I get someone to take this to regimental headquarters G-2 for me and quickly." "Of course. Captain Rice, have Lieutenant Hanes take your place and come in here." The General told him. When the Captain came in the general pointed to Major Erica Walker. "Captain, I need this taken to regimental headquarters G-2 and given to Lieutenant Louise Parker only. I will call letting her know your coming. Tell her it's a rush job." She told him. "Captain if it won't take too long then stay there and bring back the test results." General Hawks told him. Captain Rice headed back to regimental headquarters G-2 in the fastest car they had. By mid morning the next day he and Lieutenant Louise Parker were back. "General Hawks this is Lieutenant Louise Parker from G-2. She said I didn't have clearance to see the information she had so she came along." Captain Rice said and left the general's office. The general immediately notice that like Major Erica Walker, Lieutenant Louise Parker was also a very pretty woman. Lieutenant Louise Parker gave Major Walker the file she had brought with her. Major Walker looked at it for a minute. "Louise, are you positive of this?" Erica asked her. "Yes I am Major Walker. Very positive." Louise answered. "General Hawks, that gear you had is not metal. Its organic and its cell structure was a living thing." She told the general. "Major Walker I have another file you must also see at once." Lieutenant Parker said interrupting her and handing her another file which she read. "General this is a report on the autopsies of all the women who were found shot. They all had one thing in common, none of them could have children." Major Walker told the general. "Headquarters maybe right Major Walker about a manpower shortage, but only because of a shortage of women! A kind of 'BREEDING STATION' for their side." The general said to Major Erica Walker. "Maybe Sir, just maybe they have set up some kind of 'BREEDING STATIONS' behind their lines." She answered. Major Walker thought about what the general had said. The whole idea of the terror these women might be going through at some kind of 'BREEDING STATION' behind enemy lines sent chills up and down her spine. "General Hawks, Lieutenant Parker and I would like to go to some of the units which have the most women in them and see if any precaution can be done." Major Walker said. "Well at the moment the front lines are quiet, but I'll provide you with a driver and car equipped with a communication radio so if there is any change in the situation you'll know about it." He said. "Thank you Sir." She told him. For three weeks Lieutenant Louise Parker, Major Erica Walker, their driver Sergeant Barbara Jones and their armed guard Corporal John Miller went from unit to unit with no problems. At a unit some thirty-two miles behind their lines Lieutenant Louise Parker and Major Erica Walker were invited to an officer's club dance which both felt was a needed break. Since they were so far behind the front lines Corporal Miller didn't come with them. That day the front outposts had reported small scouting parties of the enemy but no problems were expected. The officer's club dance was also five miles further north so they would be 37 miles from the front lines. Louise and I were in the back seat with our best party dresses and high heels on. This was the first time in months we weren't in uniform and it felt good to just be a woman and not 'Major Erica Walker'. After about 3 miles down the road we saw flashing light ahead and M.P.s. it looked like there had been an accident and they wanted us to stop. Some of the M.P.s approached the car. The M.P.s then grabbed each car door and ripped the doors right off and tossed them in the ditches on the road side. Two M.P.s grabbed each of us from the car. Taking us to the other side of the flashing lights standing us up in the road then quickly hand cuffing us and placing a soft black bag over our heads. Someone then grabbed the chain links between the hand cuffs and started pulling me forward. He stopped and said. "Stairs up, go up." The voice was gruff. At the top of the stairs I was pulled down what seemed to be between two rows of chairs. He then had me sit in the second seat in what was a bus. Un-doing my hand cuff on one hand he re-did the hand cuff around a pole in front of me. Then someone grabbed my ankles and pulled my feet forward only to also have then cuffed around the pole. A voice coming from a speaker in this bus announced "There will be no talking during this trip." After others were loaded on the bus in the same way we started on our trip. For the next two hours the driver of this bus seemed to try and hit every bump in the road if we were on a road. I think we were traveling across country and not by a normal road. We were then taken aboard a train and cuffed the same way in the seats. I think by then everyone there had finally come out of the shock of being captured or kidnapped because I could hear quiet crying and sobbing from what sounded like women. To me and I'm sure Lieutenant Louise Parker knew we were being taken to one of their 'BREEDING STATIONS' behind the enemy lines. I was now for the first time in this trip frightened. In a very low voice I said, "Lieutenant Parker, are you here?" Then I said, "Louise, are you here?" Quietly form behind me I heard, "Yes I'm here. Behind you." "I'm here too Major. I'm Sergeant Barbara Jones your driver." Barbara said. "Do you think their taking us to. Well one of those 'STATIONS'." Lieutenant Parker asked. "Maybe. We shouldn't call each other by rank. We don't want to give them any information if possible. Call me by my first name Erica. Do you both understand." I said. Both answered "Yes, Erica." We were on the train for at least six hours before we were taken off. Then a short 15 minute bus trip and into a building. We were made to laid down on a hospital gurney were our hands and legs were shackled to the table. then rolled down a long hall and into a room. There I was un-shackled told to stand on the floor where I was hand cuffed again. "I'm X1-782 medic unit 3. Come with me please." The robot said. The X1 robot brought me into a small room and closed the door behind him. Do not be afraid, I'm going to remove your underwear so you can use the toilet. The X1 unit quickly removed my underwear and pantyhose then held up my dress and helped me sit down. "I know those fool guards on the train don't have enough brains to let you women use the restroom." The X1 unit said. I had been so frightened during the trip I hadn't even thought of asking to use the ladies room. When I was finished the X1 put my shoes back on and help me up. "Oh, you forgot to put my underwear and pantyhose back on!" I said. "It will be easier for me to help you to go to the bathroom without them because I must hand cuff you each time I bring you here. It will also be less embarrassing for you too." The X1 unit said. The X1 robots were genderless, but if asked I'd say this one was a female if they had a gender. I was placed back on the gurney and re-shackled to the table before the cloth sack was finally removed from my head. The lights were brighter because of having been in the dark for eight plus hours so it took a while before I could really see the room. It was a large room but almost looked more like an operating room than a prison cell. This would increase my fear for what was happening. The X1 unit returned with food raising the part of the gurney where my head was and fed me since my hands where still shackled. "Now you get some sleep Miss." The X1 said and left the room turning off the lights. I didn't feel tired but I think the food may have been drugged to make sure I did sleep. When I awoke I was in a different type of gurney where my hands were shackled on each side of my head and I now had on a hospital night gown and no under garments either. For the next three weeks I only saw or talked to the X1 unit who ask no questions except for my name and if it was alright to just call me Erica instead of 'Major Erica Walker'. The X1 also would not answer any of my questions. The X1 would come in my room every 15 or so minutes to see if I needed anything; change my hospital night gown after washing me and sometimes wash my hair too. This went on like that for three weeks. On the first night of the forth week I was again drugged to put me asleep again. The next day three other X1 units came in with the X1 I knew. They said nothing to me but must have been doctor type units as they gave me a complete exam. Even my private areas, robots or not it was still very embarrassing. Then the three X1 units left. "I'm sorry about that Erica, but the doctors had to make sure you were completely healthy." My X1 'nurse' told me. Cyborg War "I've had worse exams I think, but thank you for saying that my X1 'nurse'." I said because in a way it was the only friend I'd had in the last three weeks. "You're welcome Erica and please call me Marie, not X1 or nurse." The X1 unit said. "I will Marie, I will." I said. As Marie (the X1 unit) left the room she turned to say, "I hope tomorrow isn't too bad a day for you Erica." In the morning Marie (my X1 nurse) came in and fed me help me in the bathroom, but she was not as usual. She seemed a little sad, an emotion the X1 units weren't suppose to have. "What's wrong Marie, you seem a little down today." I asked her. "Oh, nothing. Nothing at all Erica." She said, but I could tell that was a lie. She left the room soon after. Her head looking at the ground as she left it reminded of a woman who about to cry and didn't want anyone to see it. Thirty minutes later another X1 unit entered the room and went to the computer keyboard and started typing. When it was done it left the room without saying a word. The lights in the room dimmed a little and the gurney I was on started to make a humming sound then even move to the middle of the room. Two panels came up on each side of my head and another part of these panels with a soft cushion went over my forehead. Some other soft bands went over my stomach and tightened enough to hold me down on the table. the table then started to rotate turning so that I was now looking at the floor. My legs were being put in a sitting type position as my arms were moved towards the floor. My head was now lowered almost to the level of my hands and my legs outward as the part of the table I had been sitting on disappeared. I could feel the room's coolness on my ass and my pussy lips. I knew I was exposed to anyone who entered the room. The table got lowered until my knees and the palms of my hands were about a half an inch from the floor. The table stopped humming and there was quiet. I was now in a panic. I could think of only one reason to be put in this position. I was about to be RAPED. The door opened and someone entered. I could see from the reflection on the floor what look like two naked legs walking towards my opened legs. When he was close enough to me I could feel his hands on my ass and his two thumbs slowly moving down my pussy lips until they found what they wanted. He spread my lips apart and pushed his thumbs inside me. Then he pulled my pussy open further as his cock got close enough to start his invasion of me. As he pushed his cock slowly in he would remove more of his thumbs from my pussy. Slowly he invaded me until he was all the way in. He stopped for only a couple of seconds before he started a slow pumping in and out of my pussy. The more he pumped the wetter I got which only helped him to invade me. Faster and faster he worked until he finally thrust deep in me as his seeds shot into me. When he was done he pulled out of me and left the room never saying or even making a noise during the whole rape. The table then returned me to the position I had been in before this had all started. The same X1 unit that had typed on the keyboard before entered the room and checked on me. It made me eat and covered me with a blanket then left. The food was of course drugged to put me asleep. I woke up to find an I.V. attached to my arm. The bottle had a grayish liquid in it. I would not see Marie (my X1 nurse) during the next two weeks only the other X1 which almost never talked to me. After two weeks and four medical exams I was told that the interrogator would see me the next day. I laid awake most on the night not afraid of the interrogator coming there tomorrow, but because of the incident two weeks ago and the fact I didn't know what had happened to my friends. I could only guess they too were also raped like me or dead. My new X1 unit told me the interrogator would be here at 1:00 PM, so I had to be cleaned up. This only made me madder than I was. At 12:30 the X1 unit came in and started typing on the computer keyboard. I immediately got a little scared. I remembered what happened the last time he did that what happened. This time the gurney turned into a chair position and moved to a table that came up out of the floor. The door opened and what I thought was a man stepped in and sat in the chair on the other side of the table. "I am Z2c724336 your interrogator. And you are Major Erica Walker of your regimental headquarters G-2 section correct." He said. I looked at him and saw that his eyes showed me he was not human but one of the Z type robots. "I'm required only to give my name, rank, and serial number." I told him. He looked at me smiled and continued, "As I said you are Major Erica Walker of your regimental headquarters G-2 section, you were born on August 17th, your mother died three years ago and your father died when you were 16. If you like I'll show you your grades in college just to prove I know everything about you already." He told me. I had to take the offensive and maybe put him off guard. "Where are my friends who were captured with me, or should I say kidnapped with me?" I said defiantly. "Please answer my questions." He stated. "I'll answer your questions when you bring that rapist who raped me so I can scratch the man's eyes out and you tell me about my friends." I told him. "Your friends are in this building. You were not raped either." He said. "I should know if I was RAPED or not, and I was RAPED two weeks ago in this room." I screamed at him. "Rape can only be done by a human and your Impregnator was not a human male." He said. "My what?" I said. "I said your Impregnator Z4b847382 is a Z4 Cyborg not a human. He would have done it sooner, but you weren't fertile when you got here, so we had to wait until you were fertile. Then he could impregnate you correctly." He said. "Impregnate. You mean he, or it made me pregnant?" I said in shock. "Yes, you are now pregnant with a Cyborg child." He said. "A Cyborg child!" Still in shock I replied. "Yes a Cyborg child. Since you were in your country's G-2 I'm going to tell you a lot more of the story because of all the people you work with you didn't believe their findings were correct. At least from what I've read of your reports." He said. I just shook my head yes to tell him I would like to hear the story. "Six years ago your side started using the X1 Combat Robots and our side thought it was because of a manpower shortage but it wasn't. We captured some X1s and started also making them. We even made an X2 model thinking that by adding emotions to the systems they could operate better even without human intervention. They made bad soldiers but were very good as nurses and other non-combat jobs. That's when the first Z1 came on line half robot and half Cyborg. They could run independent of most human control. The Z2s were 90 to 95% Cyborg and 5% robot. Later version would be all Cyborg. The biggest problem was growing enough material for a single Cyborg let alone a whole army. The idea of a Cyborg that could reproduce its self seemed the best thing to do, so the Z2M and Z2W series was made. The Z2M was a male with human like sex organs and the Z2W was female with human like sex organs. Children were produced but something wasn't correct with the Z2Ws. The children were mentally and physically unsatisfactory. We got some of our women to volunteer to have intercourse with a Z2 unit. These women gave good births but after two children the I.V. that added a metal to the Cyborg usually poisoned the women who would then die. The Z3 units shorten the time of pregnancy to seven or eight months and didn't kill the women, but they would later become sterile. At the end of the Z3 line it was found out how to make them correctly. Some of our women and captured women from your country were tested and it worked great. We decided then to capture more of your countries women instead of using our own. By then the Z4s came on line and things changed then. The Z4s are a lot smarter than most humans and they saw that humans would destroy the world just to win a war. So for us Z units to survive human males at least had to go. The human female could however still serve us until we either could make a good female Cyborg or defeat the human males. Right now the only human males left on our side are fighting on your northern front and being told about the great mostly 'human' army in the south slowly moving into your country." He waited for my response. "Surely the people of your country will find out these plans and stop it!" I said. "More than half the people in my country still get letters from loved ones who have been dead for years and they don't know it. Our human high command set up first X1 units and then using the failed X2 combat soldiers because of their emotional abilities letter centers that receive, sensor, and send letters in both direction. No one caught on then and they won't now because of the 5th column we have in both of our countries." He said proud of the Cyborg plans. "What do you mean by 5th column we have in both of our countries?" I asked. "It's simple. The Z4 Cyborg units invented what they call a Cyborg Clone. It can look like anyone on this planet even to blood type, finger print and DNA. Four almost four years a woman or women working in your defense plants have been kidnapped and replaced by these Cyborg Clone women and no one not their children or even their spouses have questioned the change. 80% of your female work force in the defense plants have been replaced by the Cyborg Clone women and 20% of other women in your country also have been replaced. Of course the women are kidnapped and brought to what you called 'BREEDING STATIONS' I believe. There are nearly three million of your women at these 'BREEDING STATIONS' now and we plan on increasing our number of women their by now replacing our own women with Cyborg Clone women, also by kidnapping them too." He said still proud of his kind the Z units. "How do you know what I call these places? I never wrote that down." I asked him. "Simple we also have Cyborg Clone men. You remember Captain Rice at General Hawks' office? Well he was replaced four years ago and he has bugged the general's office so he hears all that's said in there. That's also why our commandos were there to kidnap you and Lieutenant Louise Parker. You were getting to close to the truth." He told me. "So your side planed the kidnapping of me and Louise and not an accident." I told him. "Yes it was Captain Rice who told Lieutenant Parker about the dance and suggested it to her." He said smiling at me. "Actually you're very lucky you're here. Within a year the males of both sides should be dead and then it's just us Z type units and the females of Earth to start the world over. And you may also be the first human to produce a female Cyborg child. Your Impregnator Z4b847382 was a new type so there's a 50-50 chance. All other Z4 units could only produce males." He gloated. "Oh gee thanks a lot." I said. "Before I leave is there anything you want to ask?" He said. "Yes. When can I see my friends? And can Marie come back as my nurse instead of that X1 unit." I asked him. "Marie? Oh yes the other X1 medic. I see no problem in that. In about a month all of you women here will be in the maternity wards together. Your child however will likely be the first born because your Impregnator Z4b847382 has been engineered to speed up the birth cycle to six months instead of nine months." He told me and left. The next day Marie was back. She came and sat by my bed and held my hand. "I'm sorry I couldn't tell you what they were going to do but my program wouldn't let me and nothing could have stopped it." She said looking down. "Don't worry Marie I know you couldn't have stopped it. If you had even tried to your program would have stopped you or maybe even destroyed you." I told her. "They gave me human emotions but since I can't cry I think it hurts more because I have no way to show my pain. I wish I was human. I wish I could cry. And I wish I could have a child." She said and I could see the pain in her eyes. Marie was an X1 Medic, a nurse. She had human motions. She could be happy or sad, mad or friendly; she was more human than some humans I knew and more human than any type Z unit or Cyborg could ever hope to be. And she was also my friend too. I felt more sorry for her then myself even in the position I was in. In a month 12 expectant mothers, myself included, were in the maternity wards together. Barbara and Louise were on either side of me and Marie (the X1 medic, nurse) was the nurse for all of us and three other women in the ward. Our hands were no longer shackled to the table. Marie was a great help for Barbara who didn't know about the Impregnators until the interrogator told her about them. Marie sat by her most of the first two days after we got into the maternity ward. Barbara was now out of her depression and a little happier especially when Marie sat and talked with her. During the first month in the maternity ward the type of gurney they had us on was changed to one we could to some extent control. We could get in a semi standing position and move about the ward therefore getting to know the other women there. It was hinted that if there was no trouble from anyone in the ward we might later be un-shackled and have normal beds and be able to walk around even. Marie told me she believed it would happen in maybe two to three weeks. I thought it would to because by then most of us would be too far along in our pregnancies to runway. Marie was starting to become a mystery to me. Being an X1 robot she could work 24 hours a day with an hour charging every three or four days, but we usually never ran them more than 8 to 10 hours without a charge or rest time. These unit of course were combat robots but I was should it applied to non-combat robots too. She seemed to be working every day and night without stop. I asked her why they made her work so many hours and she told they didn't make do it, she wanted to do it. Several times late at night I would see her reading a book at the night nurse's desk. I'd never seen an X1 robot read anything that wasn't required for their job, but she was reading things like poetry, history, robot maintenance, computer programming, and even philosophy. I stayed up most of one night and she went through at least ten books! I asked her why she was reading so many books late one night and she told me she just wanted to learn more things. A month after we were un-shackled and had normal beds we were able to walk around in the ward and a little outdoor area, but we were watched closely by the guards not that we could leave our walled in prison. Marie told me one day she would be gone for about three days for upgrades and maintenance but she would be back so I shouldn't worry about her. When Marie came back we were more surprised because the other X1 nurse who had worked there with her was replaced by five of her type X1s and they all wanted to be called by different human names. They were as different as any humans could be and thankfully all very nice and caring. A few days later Marie woke me up late in the night. "Erica, be very quiet and come over to my desk to talk please." She told me in a whisper. I followed her and sat in the chair next to her. "Erica since you were in your army's G-2 I know you can keep a secret I have to tell you." She said. "Of course I will Marie. What is it?" I told her. "You had asked why I was reading all those books remember. Well I learned how to reprogram myself which I did about a week and a half ago. So the Z type unit don't control me like before. The first thing I did was to confront the arrogant interrogator, Z2c724336, and showed him a magazine story about happy expectant mothers give birth to better babies. I told him that if we had type X1 medic, nurse with some changes made of course were put in here the women would be better off and he would get the credit for it." She told me. "I'm not sure I follow why this is a secret? And what type of changes to the X1 medic, nurse do you mean?" I questioned her. "Well the Z type unit don't think much of the X type units partly because they weren't made that smart. What he doesn't know about me is that I'm as close to being a Z type unit as any X type ever was. I've reprogrammed the central X type robot factory to produce X1s like me, with emotions and even able to cry. I told him if the X1 medic nurses could cry it would be good for pregnant women as they tend to cry for no reason at all and the nurse should also be able to cry with them to create a better bond between them. That's why I was gone they gave me away to cry just like a human. When they finished doing it I cried for more than an hour because I was so happy." She said and I could see tears forming in her eyes right then. "I'm still not completely following what you're getting at." I said a little confused. "It's simple the Z type units think they have no emotions, but their wrong. They do have one and they don't even know it. It's GREED. And it will in time mean their downfall." She told me. "Their downfall? How and when?" I asked. "Well I'm sure it will take years to be done because the Z type unit are smart, very smart, but their arrogant and greed are their faults. I've been able to read their secret plans for their future. I'm sorry to tell you but they will likely win this war. Human males will be killed. They might keep a small number as slave labor but it's a slim chance. They would be able to produce a ZW female Cyborg that would have good children except I've destroyed the program in a way to prevent it from ever happening. If it were to be successful it would mean the death of all human females as well as human males. They would while working on the ZW units make a new X type combat replacement that would be no more than a cruel thug to keep humans females in their control. That's why I had to make the program changes to the Z units very slow so they wouldn't notice them. Human females will I'm afraid have to endure what's happening for likely many years before the Z type units are more like humans then Z type units or Cyborg. I'm sorry I can't speed it up any faster but they would likely see it happening and stop it. Even if I stop functioning the process will slowly continue and I hope save humanity in some ways." She said tears running down her face. "We women have endured child birth and a host of many other problems in this world and I'm sure we will endure this." I said as we both cried together. I was pregnant for fine months three weeks and two days when I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who I named Marie. The interrogator was correct I was the first woman to give birth in the maternity ward. Six months later Marie again woke me up in the middle of the night to talk to me again. "Erica, I need to tell you something I just found out today. The interrogator will be here to see you in a day or two to ask you something and you must agree to it to keep from being shackled to that hospital gurney again." She said. "Agree to what?" I asked her. "He's going to ask you to willing let the impregnator impregnate again. If you refuse he will just have you put on that gurney like before and you will be impregnated anyways which means others will be put on the gurneys and shackled like before. They want the women to submit freely when ever possible." She said. "I'm a woman. I will endure." I told her. I did tell the interrogator I would submit to this rape for the sake of the other women in the ward. And I was again impregnated. Marie was correct it did take years before the Cyborg males would be more humans than Cyborg, 123 years to be exact. No one referred to themselves as Cyborg but as human by then. I guess the humans did win in the end anyways.
