Project Ami Read Online Free PDF

in a situation like this, Ryan feels suddenly calm and focused.
    Ami looks down with a shy but also frightened face.
    A few minutes pass and nothing happens. Ryan carefully looks round the corner to see if the KB is anywhere to be seen, but, thankfully, it looks like it has passed them.
    They slowly step out of the room and Ryan asks Ami if she is okay. ‘Yes, but my dress got all dirty,’ she says.
    ‘Don’t worry, I’m sure that when we get to the resistance we can find a new dress for you.’
    ‘Thanks,’ says Ami, and gives Ryan a hug.
    They continue their journey and, after walking for about half an hour, they see a big gate made from scrap metal and other debris. Ryan takes Ami aside and tells her that she needs to stay close and act like a human. ‘Whatever happens never reveal that you are an AI, okay?’ Ami agrees, and Ryan and Ami start to walk towards the gate.
    They approach the gate and, suddenly, a big light turns on and points at them. They look around them and see that there are countless dead KBs lay on the ground. Two guards come out of the gates with automatic rifles, which they point at Ryan and Ami. The light shines in Ryan and Ami’s faces, and they can hardly see a thing.
     

Chapter 4
The Resistance
    Ryan and Ami stand in front of the gate. The two guards come closer, and one of them yells with a deep voice. ‘Identify yourselves!’
    Ami backs away and, with a scared look on her face, stands close behind Ryan, holding his arm.
    ‘Don’t shoot, we are human!’ says Ryan. ‘We are looking for the resistance.’
    ‘What do you need the resistance for?’ the guard asks.
    ‘We want to join them. We want a safe place to live and to help out wherever we can,’ Ryan replies urgently.
    The guard comes closer and stands right in front of Ryan. He is wearing a SWAT uniform and has a gas mask over his face. He tells Ryan that they are at the right address. He grabs Ryan by his arm, whilst the other guard grabs Ami.
    The gate opens and they walk through it. All too quickly, the gate closes again and the guard tells them to stand still and spread their arms. He inspects Ryan for any weapons and finds his gun. ‘You cannot bring any weapons in until you have spoken to the boss,’ the guard advises. He then walks over to Ami and, when he wants to Inspect her, Ryan tells him, ‘She does not have any weapons. Can’t you see that?’
    The guard tells Ryan it is standard procedure.
    Ami looks frightened when the guard comes closer. Ryan holds his breath as the guard starts to inspect Ami; he is afraid they might realise she is an AI. But luckily, the guard is gentle and does not actually touch her; he only feels her dress to see if she has any weapons concealed beneath the fabric.
    ‘They’re clean,’ he calls out.
    The guards then guide Ryan and Ami through a wide hallway with another large metal door at the end. The guard knocks at the door three times, and the door opens.
    They find themselves in a very big room, filled with tents and houses made from debris and scrap metal. It looks almost like a little town. They start to walk through the town and can see a lot of people. There are men and women, but also children. Most of them look dirty and worn out. Everyone looks very serious, sad and hopeless.
    They walk past a few tents and see a pregnant woman with ripped clothes sitting on the floor. She asks if they have any water for her. Ryan wants to stop to give her some, but the guards won’t allow him.
    There are more and more people leaving their tents and houses to see what’s going on. Ryan notices that Ami is starting to get scared, and so he looks back at Ami and tells her that everything will be all right. After walking for a few minutes, they find themselves at a wall with a few doors in it. The guards open up one the doors and tell Ryan and Ami to go through. They step through and there they end up in a small room with only a table and three chairs.
    The room is concrete and the
