[ IP ] The Clockwork City

The shuttle slowly descended and the city finally came into view, before I even had the chance to speak, my escort answers my question. 
 
 `` No, the clockwork does not turn, it's merely there for artistic decor and design.'' 
 
 I turned away from her and again immerse myself with the scenery, `` So this is the city of androids'' 
 
 `` Yes, everything and everyone is completely mechanical'' 
 
 `` But why......'' 
 
 `` Because it helps comfort the population; Sure we could have just manufacture the androids and city in the simplest and efficient matter retaining to their functions, but the idea and design of a massive clanking machine orbiting Earth scares a lot of people, especially *some* in particular'' She interrupts again, `` So what better way to make folks buy into it than spiffing the whole thing off as a tribute to art and science, make an entire city dedicated to androids, a utopia of mechanical unity and prosperity'' 
 
 I looked at her annoyed with discontent and finally found the opportunity to wedge in my voice, `` But why no humans, why must the last city of Earth be operated only by AI?'' 
 
 `` As you recall, the last city serves an important purpose; to look after Earth as it heals from the wounds inflicted by us until it becomes safe and healthy again to bear humanity, the problem is that many humans still feel entitled to own Earth and its resources. These people would go through any lengths to get to the land bestowed to them by their biologically-earn right to live there.'' 
 
 She paused for a little bit before speaking again, `` Androids do not have motives other than the ones we program, they have no will to claim Earth as their own. Humans and aliens alike will always try to mettle with Earth's recovery to fit their own image and agenda, so all in all, robots alone are assigned the job to nurture and care for the planet.'' 
 
 `` Personally'' She said, `` I hope humans never return, let another species evolve and flourish.'' 
 
 The shuttle landed, I stepped out into the crisp air as hundreds of androids rush past each other in a pure fashion of symmetry. 
 
 `` They look so human'' I gasped. 
 
 `` Well, people still persist to the belief that what looks human must feel human....... except you Scythian, we know your real on the inside too.'' 
 
 `` Will they find me here?'' 
 
 `` No, it would be impossible to find an android among thousands of its kind, you're safe'' 
 
 I sighed, secretly knowing her words will be proven false eventually, with one foot forward I stepped into the unknown.
