How To Be Human


<Beep Beep>

Attention Cyborg Fleet:

As you have all been programmed to know, you are scheduled to be integrated into society in two weeks. As you will be living among the citizens of the United States to attain information undercover, you are required to live, act, speak, and feel as any other human would. Failure to carry through with the Assignment will lead to your Termination.

In order to remain perceived as humans, you must:

-Eat food and drink liquids. Do not worry. The process will be safe for the interior of your bodies.
-Slouch and stumble. If your posture and movements are too perfect, you will be suspected.
-Squeak and stutter. Perfect voices are prohibited.Your Cyber accents are not to be used while in company with the Subjects.
-Maintain proper hygiene. We have inserted a B.F.P. (Bodily Fluid Producer) into each of your systems. Though it is not something you are accustomed to, you will emit certain odors and/or sounds in order to convince the Subjects that you have bodily systems within you. If you do not mind these odors and/or sounds, you will draw attention to yourself.

These are the least difficult requirements for the Assignment. Mastering Human emotion will be a challenge unlike any other you have ever experienced.

-When you make a mistake (and you MUST make mistakes) or you disappoint another, apologize with the words "I am sorry" or "I apologize." This means you are not proud that you have made said mistake. Exhibit regretful behavior with a shrink in your shoulders and a bow of the head.
-When you do or say something out of the ordinary in front of others, you must be embarrassed. Launch an N.C. (Nervousness Code). Your cheeks should blush (they may heat up a bit), your hands will sweat, and your mouth should dry up. Do not worry. This is completely normal to the Subjects' bodies.
-When you are treated wrongly or situations do not resolve the way you had desired them to, you will need to be angry. If you get into an argument, or an intense conversation with conflicting opinions, you will need to frown, sigh, and raise your voice. A clench of the fists may also help your claim.
-When you form a bond with another, this is called Friendship. The citizens you form these bonds with will offer you their Trust. You will take it, but there is absolutely no guarantee you will not destroy it.
-Any relationship stronger than Friendship is strongly prohibited. You have not been programmed to love. Warning: Falling in Love will lead to your Termination.
