[ WP ] You create a robot that tells whether something you say is true or false . To test it , you ask if you are human . `` False '' .

`` I ask again, is the person standing in front of you, am *I*, human?'' 
 
 The robot looked up at me, as if it was half confused by the question-if I had given it eyes I assumed it would have looked at me with eyebrows perked but that was a cosmetic feature I could have lived without-and it was n't sure if I had it heard it correctly the first time around. Its'teeth' glowed a bright blue as it answered my question. `` False.'' 
 
 I raised an eyebrow for the machine and then walked around to the backside of it. `` Initiate Protocol Alpha-Two.'' 
 
 `` Temporary Shutdown Engaged.'' 
 
 I figured I had switched binary system in its head the other way around. So when it answered'False' it was actually trying to say'Truth' but the binary was n't worked. I opened up the back panel on the head of the robot. It was crude, only have an upper-half with arms. I figured until I got it to do stuff besides answer True or False questions, it would at least look a *little* human. Eyes would come later. The robot had a sensor on the front of its head, a long strip that silently scanned whatever it was in front of it. Then the system in its head filtered everything. Primarily, it had two choices; biological or machine. 
 
 I hooked up my computer to the back of the head using a two-inch thick cable I had bought off the internet a few weeks prior. It cost me a pretty penny, but with enough leeway, I managed to make a system that worked flawlessly with it. I checked, and then double-checked, the registration feature and made sure 0 was Machine and 1 was biological. There was a lot more going on inside of its head, the program wrote itself as it saw and it added a few thousand lines of code in the first two minutes of it awakening. 
 
 With everything checked, I removed the cable, closed the back panel of the head and stepped in front of the robot again. `` Initiate Restart.'' 
 
 The robot did n't respond, but I knew it was doing what it needed to. Within a few moments, the mouth glowed blue again. `` Restart Complete. What is your question?'' 
 
 I cleared my throat. `` Is the being in front of you, the one speaking,'' I stayed as specific as possible, `` human? Am I human?'' 
 
 `` False.'' 
 
 I threw my hands up in the air, `` Initiate Protocol Alpha-Two!'' 
 
 `` Temporary Shutdown Eng --'' 
 
 `` Yeah, I get it!''

 `` I'm telling you Bill, it's registering everything correctly except humans. Is this a lamp?'' I held up a fork in front of the robot's scanner. 
 
 `` False.'' 
 
 Bill watched as I threw the fork on the table and then lifted the lamp in front of the robot's scanner. `` Is this a lamp?'' 
 
 `` True.'' 
 
 I turned back to Bill, almost wide-eyed and-if Bill had n't known me the way he did-visibly insane. `` Well, let's try me.'' Bill took a step in front of the robot. He bent over, took a look around it, even touched the hands that dangled off the side of its chassis. `` These powered?'' 
 
 I shook my head. `` Not yet.'' 
 
 He shrugged and stood straight again. `` Okay, robot-what are you calling it?'' 
 
 `` Bin.'' 
 
 He turned to me, `` *Bin*, really?'' 
 
 `` Just get on with it.'' 
 
 He laughed and said, `` Bin. Am I, the being standing in front of you, human?'' 
 
 `` True.'' 
 
 My mouth could have hit the floor if I unhinged my jaw. `` You're shitting me.'' I beckoned him to ask again. And again. And again. Each time, Bin responded with'True,' and each time my jaw fell farther and farther into the ground. I walked towards where Bill stood, half-shoved him out of the way and said, as clear as I could, `` Bin. Am I, the being standing in front of you, human?'' 
 
 `` False.'' 
 
 Bill touched his chin. `` Ask him if your its creator.'' 
 
 `` Am I, the being in front of you, your creator?'' 
 
 `` True.'' 
 
 `` Peculiar.'' Bill said, and I noticed that his eyes were n't lingered on Bin. No, instead they lingered on me. A little too long.

 `` I've known you for twelve years Bill! *Twelve years*!'' 
 
 `` We ca n't take the chance.'' He said with a straight face, two men had grabbed both of my arms as I tried to push them off of me. `` We have to see what's really going on.'' 
 
 `` This is **insane**!'' I shoved one off with a force that pushed him towards the ground. But I did n't try to break free, I just tried to explain. `` I have memories, images and places and people! Mom and Dad, my sister Judith! They're in here!'' I hit the side of my head with my finger, pointing to myself. `` I am not a machine!'' 
 
 `` Well, according to the machine *you* made you're not human either.'' 
 
 I shook my head and I could feel my nostrils flare up. `` Do n't do this Bill. Please for the love of God, do n't do this.'' 
 
 He walked up to me as the guards finally handcuffed me. In one fell motion, Bill lowered his head and placed his hand on my shoulder, `` It's already been done Jack.'' He shook his head, `` I'm sorry.'' 
 
 `` Bill. What if I am a machine? What are you going to do, cut me up and analyze what's inside?'' 
 
 `` No.'' He said almost instantly. `` You're going to help us find *your* creator.''
