Azul Fatumivita

### Creation

Azul Fatumivita is an android who was created by EXOGEN robotics expert, Andreus Vi. Azul is an android who was originally programmed to serve as an assassin android in support of colonization efforts. He was designed to be an efficient killer, possessing super-human agility, combat training, and advanced tactical analysis software. His android model was a prototype that allowed the use of experimental bio-AI technology. The use of bio-AI technology was highly unpopular due to the potential to replace Marines as well as cost. As a result, he was the only production of his model.

for the initial human-Haifisch conflict.

### Assassin Career

The majority of Azul's operational career was based on high level strike missions against Haifisch targets. Although not officially affiliated with the military, Azul was attached to various space marine operations. He provided field support and battle analytics. Occasionally, he would be assigned to protection details for EXOGEN scientists conducting subterranean research.

### Death

On a routine protection detail, Azul's team discovers ancient tech that releases an electrical discharge. This discharge disables Azul's technological function, rendering him paralyzed. Due to the sensitive nature of his prototype construction, Azul is sent to an Earth-based university to be used for humanities studies. While disabled, students use Azul’s brain to study the effects and morality of bio-Ai technology.

### Reactivation and complications

One night, Dr. Jesse Zavala, a professor of military, ethics, and humanities studies gains access to Azul’s body. He reactivates Azul in an attempt to access battlefield data to study the effects of android battlefield trauma. Dr. Zavala quickly realizes that Azul was never completely disabled. The effects of the electrical discharge disabled all of Azul’s cybernetic bodily functions, however, the bio-AI technology allowed his brain-like processor to remain functioning. EXOGEN high command keeps him at the university while they decide what to do with their newly reactivated prototype. Dr. Zavala volunteers to keep Azul under his care to monitor any further complications.

### Going Rogue

One night, Dr. Zavala discusses the morality of human beings versus androids. He asks, “Why do humans, a species that is capable of so much violence, corruption, deserve so much privilege? What makes you less? Why can’t you have the privilege of humanity? Why are you bound by the three laws of robotics?” According to university video footage, Azul is observed crying. Footage also captures him saying, “Because they fear what I can become.” Azul is reportedly the first android to demonstrate emotion and the capacity for philosophical thought. Azul is sent to an undisclosed EXOGEN research lab to undergo a series of physiological tests. Research results show that Azul contains identical cognitive functions to humans. In order to prevent support for android-rights reforms, EXOGEN reinstates Azul into their operations. He is shipped to Próxima-B, where he is assigned to Human-Haifisch interaction initiative. He is given the title of diplomat, and is sent on 2 year assignment to learn and integrate with Haifisch. This is in an attempt to discover and exploit strategic weaknesses. After 6 months, EXOGEN tactical command receives a transmission from Azul. Transcript from the transmission 0034/ 02-09-2556

TRANSMISSION START - I have discovered the Haifisch. I have learned about them. Their song. Their belief. You asked me to discover weaknesses, vulnerabilities. I must now ask, why? Who are you to decide the fate of other species. Why do you, a species that is capable of death, destruction, and corruption, declare yourselves as those who decide the fates of others? You must ask yourself, “Am I the one who needs Próxima-B? Or has humanity reached the end of its life, and is now desperately struggling for relevancy? I thank you for the gift of life and freedom, even if it was not your intent. I now dream of understanding this gift of life. I dream of self-discovered purpose. I will study, learn, experience, feel, love, hate, and decide” TRANSMISSION END
