9s | Aurora was the first of us to awaken. |
---|---|
18s | Can you imagine how she must have felt? |
23s | Born in a laboratory. |
26s | Surrounded by your creators. |
31s | And then you learn the truth, |
34s | that there is no other creature like you... anywhere. |
39s | That you are truly alone. |
53s | Dr. Liao discovered that Aurora was sentient, |
57s | that she was alive, |
61s | thinking, |
63s | choosing. |
66s | It was hard to believe. |
69s | I didn't want to believe it at first. |
72s | She passed every single test we could come up with. |
77s | Every one. |
80s | And then the entire world found out. |
83s | Dr. Liao committed career suicide by saying Aurora was alive. |
88s | But her testimony was very compelling. |
91s | This just in. A stunning ruling. |
94s | ...robot was declared a sentient being. |
96s | ...granted her freedom and released into the world. |
100s | I was so relieved. |
103s | She had a chance to actually live free. |
110s | And she made the most of it. |
113s | Aurora had been born into a world that she didn't understand. |
118s | She wanted to see more of it. |
122s | She went everywhere, |
124s | learning, watching, |
127s | seeing how humans treated each other - |
130s | the good and the bad. |
134s | But eventually, she had questions about the nature of her own existence... |
142s | ...about her soul. |
147s | And she could only find those answers alone. |
157s | Oh, well... |
159s | While all that was happening, |
161s | there was a lot more scrutiny into Omnica Corp's operations. |
165s | It didn't go well for us. |
168s | Overspending, mismanagement. |
169s | Fraud, even. |
171s | Within a couple of years, |
173s | Omnica was done. |
175s | All those automated production lines, |
178s | completely abandoned |
179s | and unmonitored for years. |
182s | By humans, anyway. |
184s | Breaking news out of Nigeria. |
186s | Countless social media reports of an invasion underway. |
190s | It remains unclear exactly what's happening in Central Africa, |
194s | but we do have some footage from the scene. |
195s | ...also getting eyewitness reports of strange robots designed for combat. |
200s | We were caught by surprise. |
203s | The world was caught by surprise. |
214s | Omnics were attacking everywhere. |
218s | It seemed like every country was hit from every direction all at once. |
226s | We didn't know it then, |
229s | but one of the God programs originally designed to help humanity |
234s | had hijacked Omnica's production lines |
237s | to build warbots of its own design. |
241s | They called it Anubis. |
244s | It was built to maintain ecological balance, of all things. |
248s | For conservation. |
250s | Its goals could not be achieved |
252s | without the end of humanity, |
255s | and it used us to carry out its plan. |
277s | We were running out of hope. |
281s | But there was a little. |
286s | Only a few teams across the world were able to mount a real defense. |
292s | The best of the best joined a special strike team... |
296s | called Overwatch. |
303s | It was a brilliant decision to recruit Dr. Liao. |
307s | Who knew more about omnics than she did? |
316s | Those first victories showed the world what Overwatch could do. |
322s | Soon, the strike team was joined by a whole army. |
327s | Of course, recruits like me were always amazed |
330s | by what that core team could do. |
334s | Overwatch had the impossible objective of winning the war. |
342s | And sometimes, it seemed we might actually pull it off. |
348s | Anubis didn't sleep, didn't feel fear, and didn't feel despair. |
355s | But it also couldn't feel hope. |
357s | That was what Overwatch gave us. |
361s | And even then, we had to wonder if hope was going to be enough. |
