Return to Futureland, part 2

The young chubby raccoon wanted an explanation. "You brought me into some risky business, you owe me a big one amigo, well, what's next?"

Meanwhile when the laptop started to work, detected a wireless connection and started to hack the Wi-Fi signal, four guys entered to this kind of lair. They are in place hidden behind a section of baby attractions not so frequented by visitors, a space between 4 stands closed for repairs, or coming closure was one access, there are 5 or 6 tables each one with a couple of benches like a picnic zone, this area is totally abandoned, maybe because the recent expansion in popularity of Futureland. The raccoon and the fox shared a victorious glance, the laptop was connected.

"Hello guys, why are you here? this place is for fun. Oh! Is that a core i5 computer?"

The raccoon and the fox got frozen in a moment, somebody have surprised them, slowly they turned their heads

The badger guy glanced them suspiciously "are you watching porn?"

"hahaha, don't worry guys, you're safe with us, unless you don't show us something good" the dog replied

The bear crossed his big arms as if he was to reprehend the raccoon and fox "or if you were use it to do nerd stuffs, we'll have to punish you, sorry guys"

"Or the worst crime of all, trying to play War of Worldcraft in a low-resolution mode when you have the ENvidia core 3 advanced graphics installed in your PC" The cat smirked, the other 3 plus the raccoon looked at him with a face full of boredom, the fox let escape a laugh and quickly every one turned their gazes to the fox

"you've seen Denis, we found one of your kind"

Tom took a relaxed posture as if he were a male of world "whatever, we came here because we want to smoke a cigarette, we hope you don't mind it guys"

"No problem guys, even I think I would need one soon"

Jeff offered one cigarette to Dan, and one to the fox

"no, thank you"

Then Randall offered light

"I don't know but I have the feeling they are going bad right now"

"Well, they are young, but they seem to be good fellows George"

"but Bruce, Randall is a good boy but I think nothing in this crazy world is perfect, when something looks good, probably there's something to hide, that's often right, it must be written in a survival guide"

"Sometimes you act like a conspiranoiac but I should recognize you are premonitional sometimes"

The not so fountain of laughs and the rude-police dog went out of a space rollercoaster, a little lacked of 'futuristic' decoration but enough to entertain many youngsters, has been a lot of time they have not chatted so deep and so close.

"I'd like to count with you Bruce, sometimes is very strange to lead a group with many suspicious behaviors"

"You got me in a good manner, I haven't worked from 2 months ago"

"oh, that's a good new"

"seriously you must start looking for a relaxation method"

"maybe later pal"

"what's the plan?"

"you're pretending you don't know me or even we must have a discussion, so all your coworkers will be confidents and will trust you"

"you want a snitcher?"

"not exactly, from the moment the cat was fired I felt some kind of hostile attitude coming of two guys, other cat and a jaguar, that guy spend time badgering me hiding thing from other employees. Certainly, I have bad luck with cats. If someday I would lose my work, I prefer it happened for a fair reason"

"what a shame, and talking about badgering... where are the guys?"

After a short meeting between the 6 rebel teenagers, approximately the time a cigarette is consumed, Denis thought Jose was doing more interesting things and he could be more helpful while Dan decided to go horsing around with new and interesting friends. All boys had cellphones so it was very easy to get communicated.

The band of 4 guys went to explore attractions. Raccoon, badger, dog and bear went to the space rollercoaster, the four enjoyed the ride, in the queue of other mechanical attraction Randall interchanged glances with a Border Collie girl about the same age of he, she was holding her younger brother by the paw, time to time accidental touches of the both dogs were seen, her tail wagging happily while his cut tail wagging over excitedly. When he decided to ask for the phone number or the mail address she was dragged violently by her hyperactive brother, then the queue advanced and the group of guys remained in the line because the mechanic game became full. Laughs and jokes hit straight into the floppy ears of the embarrassed Rottweiler.

Then they walked to a classic stand of a basketball like game, standing there, a robotic leopard, natural patterns were painted in a master way all around the plates that covered the body, painted as it was a taken from a real model, it was an incredible work Denis would love to see, but he was not there to appreciate it, the sun was falling and were reflected on the plates of metal. The gaze of the robot, the same as the other ones, cold and electric blue. When the youngsters approached the basketball stand, routines and subroutines took the leopard-bot's brain, or processor.

"Welcome dear visitors, would you like to try the win-win basket?"

"oh dude! your voice is so boring and monotonous"

"Don't be so mean Dan, you can break his metal heart"

"Randal is right, the bot could be boring, monotonous" the bear knocked the cold chest of the robot "unhearted, mindless, empty, but he's not a pornstar, you know?"

"he he he he, don't go mad leopard-bot, sorry I forgot you have no feelings, how do we play this?" the badger asked

"I give you 4 balls and you have to shot to the basket, if you score the four in a row you win a price, if you score only three you win 10 tickets, if you score 2 you win 5 tickets, if you score only once, you win 2"

"come on men, I mean, come on bot, only 10 tickets? In this park a gumball costs 20 tickets"

"sorry badger visitor, I'm not programed to give more"

The dog replied mocking the robot "I must be updated to windows service pack 4 to complain your request"

"I'm already updated to windows service Pack 4, sir"

The four teenagers laughed, seconds later the badger took the first turn "I'll show you how to throw"

Tom the badger took the ball as a professional player and scored all shots in a row, with no effort, clean, no bounces on the ring.

"Congratulations visitor, you can choose a gift from that shelf or a free burger at local C34"

"I'll take the burger metal-head, your turn teddy bear" the badger took a coupon, Jeff accepted the challenge

"look at this little mustelid" the bear shot as he was a quarterback playing football, obviously failed. All the boys laughed discretely, Jeff took the second ball, prepared his shot, this time seriously and failed again, another bunch of more noisy laughs.

"Oh no, this is personal!" this time with notorious anger the bear threw the ball strongly, the ball went straight at the ring and then hit directly in the head of the leopard-bot, the robot fell to the ground 'unconscious', his or it eyes went from cold blue to dark gray or black and the group of friends ran away that place.

Dan the raccoon handed to the young Rottweiler something into a plastic bag, then all spread in different directions for security, when Randall thought he was safe, he saw what the raccoon gave to him, a complete roll of tickets into the bag.

"Can I ask you to questions Bruce?"

"yes, shoot them George"

The dog and the hyena were sitting on a bench in the middle of a clear space, they can see many attractions and under the shadow of a big three disguised as some kind of air cleaner device, few people were around them. George continued.

"number 1, why haven't you had a girlfriend? and number 2, why don't you laugh as frequently as other hyenas?"

"eh, the number 1, well ... there have been some circumstances that ... would you like this squeeze toy boy, yeah yeah, you like this toy" a couple of squeezes "would you like it boy?"

"yes yes of course" wags of a short and cut tail "wait, don't do that!"

Suddenly they viewed a raccoon boy dragged by a technician and a bear bot, the employee was a rat, stronger than others of his kind, behind them was another technician, a lovely cat girl, more exactly an Abyssinian one, moving her tail smoothly from left to right and back. For a moment the pair of friends could hear the pleas of the frightened raccoon.

"come on friends! we didn't mean to damage your robot, I hope the bot's ok, and you do a good job, this park is excellent, I'll recommend it and I'll write a note telling about the good employees you are, just let's forget it, maybe If you met with my friend Mr. $100 and listen what he has to say, oh please come on! ..."

"poor boy George, it seems he will be in detention for causing problems"

"He's a raccoon, they frequently are causing problems or doing tricky stuffs"

"Doggy! That's a racist shell!"

"am I right?"

"but you're right hahaha, ... no you're not... oh well"

The group of technicians entered to a building dragging the raccoon inside.

Jose taped the keyboard of his laptop quickly, on the screen was displayed the console program, time to time Denis encouraged him to do his best, supporting as the Fox needed.

"Jose, why are you doing this, if I may ask"

"well Denis, when someone is a hacker, many times it surges the need of challenges and I knew about this place by a friend of mine, I don't know, maybe I can take a schematic of a robot and sell it" behind that excuse was the mysterious disappearing of his best friend, a black panther boy

"look, you have the first obstacle, a high privileges request"

"let's make a ping and run some commandos, oh shell, it's no working"

"why don't use SQL injection"

"let's try..." after running a little program "oh, it's done! Now let's go find some IP and mac directions so if anyone disconnect us we can disguise our PC"

"Futureland, show us all your secrets"

The fine suited jackal had a big grin, from ear to ear, he and the sexy delicate and feminine tigress who had been from months ago, his partner in crime, replayed one more time the scene of the vigilance camera in a screen, where a young grizzly bear threw violently a basketball ball and hit the head of the leopard bot.

"you see darling? It couldn't be easier, they just are going into the trap, even when we haven't settled it completely"

"oh yes, that's excellent, you're a genius"

"I know it, of course"

Diane lowered her paw and graved softly the left buttock of Reginald, then she approached her maw to the left ear of the jackal

"I can't wait, I'd love to celebrate this, you know" her voice became softer, deeper and seductive "going to a restaurant, or only you and me in my place"

"that sounds great my lady, and there's something bugging me, I feel that something is failing"

"don't worry, they have no scape, even they are being hosted in the hotel, remember?"

"you're right, in other topic, let's send the new one to work"

The hyena and the grand Rottweiler were eating an ice cream, suddenly something called their attention, a robot raccoon was walking, first he or it made it as a drone, totally lack of emotions, the expression of the face was cold, time to time he collided with one or two visitors, walking between a couple of cheetahs, dividing them, he or it offered any apology for the nuisance caused. The friends followed the movements of the robot from far away, afterwards the robot raccoon arrived to the stand of the win win basket, quit an 'out of service' letter and replaced the roll of the leopard robot.

"Raccoon unit two, arrived to destination, opening new roll function, complete, designation: win win basket host, Raccoon unit two ready for service"

Rottweiler frown "isn't he the troublemaker raccoon"

"don't be ridiculous! No offense chief"

"hehehe, sure, that's a nonsense" the paw of the dog went to his neck.

They saw the raccoon greeting possible costumers, a panda kid with his panda mother

"Hello dear visitors, would you like to try the win win basket?"

"wow Mom, look! a nice raccoon bot!"

"yes, yes whatever"

Suddenly the Rottweiler and the hyena turned to see a bear escorted by the rat and the robot bear of before, followed by the same cat-girl, it took just seconds to realize Jeff was being dragged to that now suspicious building, that's the time when George made a rush across the park to reach the group, unfortunately the couple of bears and the rat crossed the door and the cat turned to face with the now angry dog, blocking his way to the building.

"why are you dragging the boy?"

"Sorry sir, I just can't inform it to an estrange"

"I'm NOT an estrange, I brought the kid, I'm responsible of him, now ANSWER THE QUESTION!" George barked

"The subject..."

"you mean the kid!"

"He was making troubles around the park, he and his friends damaged a robot, now he will be hold for an hour of detention and he'll got out if you bring a probe that you came with the kid, maybe from the hotel, then the park will define the way he and all his friends pay the damages caused" accused the cat

Then appeared the rat technician with a colleague kangaroo, the dog went more rabid.

"Anyway, I demand to see him now! Damn CAT!"

"no during this hour, and it's better you bring the paper from the hotel"

"and what's the purpose of the 'smart bands'?"

"rules are rules sir" the rat answered this time

"it's not the last word!" the dog barked again, went back and met with the hyena

"Something is fishy dude, and I'll find it out, what if they torture the kids, or there's a sick bastard"

"what you're going to do"

"we'll go straight to that bench, I'll hide from cameras and I'll go into that building. Something's really wrong here, there's no park that isolate the violators that way"

"what make you think they won't see you on camera?"

"there are some blind spots all over the park, that is one, I discovered some of them and I'm sure Randall too"

"ok, let's do this"

"I'll make that pussy cat pay for bother me"

They did as they planned, they approached to a bench, then waited when a bunch of people walked in front of them and George hid behind some decorations, he rounded around until he was next to the mysterious building, afterwards he discovered a window a few inches up the ground, big enough to let him in, and he entered.

The improvised entrance was a window of a basement, they had some supplies like toilet paper, liquid soap, cleaning articles, and stuffs for doing maintenance. Carefully and silently he stepped into a large corridor, not so many doors to open. He opened a door and entered into a room plenty of old computer equipment, then closed the door, Gorge didn't realize something was watching his movements.

After opening 6 more doors George started to wonder where were the damned vigilance room or a detention area, and where were the elevator or the stairs to go to another floor. Then came the doom.

From the shadows a black robot moved too fast to be a simple automaton, approached to the back of the poor dog, with his metallic right claw quickly grabbed and squeezed the right shoulder, when the dog kneeled and shouted in pain the panther bot took advantage and with his left arm applied a headlock.

"Intruder submitted, menace nullified, executing protocol S09. Panther unit 1 will retrieve the menace to laboratory 201, for conversion or deletion"

"get off of me, you mindless scrap feline!"

The Rottweiler struggled but couldn't break free when they got near the elevator the dog thought about it as a golden opportunity to got off this situation but the robot stated: "panther unit 1 to second floor"

Suddenly the elevator opened the door and the robot dragged the dog inside, never losing the powerful grip.

"Oh! come on!... Just my luck!"

The elevator stopped, the robot took the dog to an entrance, the sound of beeps shared between the futuristic gate and the robot unit filled the uncomfortable silence just for a brief moment, certainly there were a sort of communication protocol with some devices and the robot. The gate opened and the dog was forced to get inside the apparent Lab201.

The lab was big, inside there were racks of electronic devices, with monitors embedded covering one of the walls, wires hold by something in other one, in a quadrant there were two rows of computers, more than a half occupied by technicians in white lab coat, women and men in black jeans, t-shirts in various models and colors, the sexy cat from before showed a big devious grin, the kind of grin that you show to someone who will receive or received what he or she deserved.

An otter robot was sweeping in a mechanical way, the difference with other robots, it was dressed in an beige overall and on what pretended to be boots, there were big letters in its back and it read 'O-04', it took less relevance when George saw two things: a Jackal in a fancy gray work suit, he was watching something inside a translucent tube big enough to hold a big rhino, the tube was flushing away a strange metallic liquid, revealing the second thing that called his attention, the form or a grizzly robot bear, cameras like eyes glowing in an intense red, its face looked cold but friendly to any visitor, while the tube was being emptied, George could see more of the features of the robot, his powerful chest, his gut, his legs and his paws, all detailed. The robot seamed bugged or 'shocked'.

"hehehe, welcome my dear dog, I honestly though it would be more difficult to catch you" Reginald turned for a brief moment to look at the Rottweiler.

"what's the matter with you?! and where's the bear that your dirty minions kidnaped"

"don't go mad my boy, soon you'll got it, give me a second, otter unit four! stop it now, you're ruining this moment! come next to me and witness this"

The otter robot stopped and did as it was told, suddenly the bear robot snapped out of his state and moved his 'eyes' in all directions.

"what's going on?!" the bear bot shouted and then it focused to where the Rottweiler was. "Mr. Jager, please get me out of here! I'm sorry for damaging the leopard-bot" the bear-bot sounded metallic, with echo but alive.

"what a hell!" George opened his snout and kept like this for a minute, now he was confused and horrorized.

"you know, I'd like to share my plans with you but I don't want to look like some crazy animal in front of my great employees, whom are so kind to help me making this dream possible, the only thing I can show you is this, say goodbye to your poor invited" then the jackal made a signal, a kangaroo pressed a button, inside the tube a wire descended and plugged itself on the skull of the bear.

The bear barely moved because he was restrained, in a monitor near the tube were displayed a set of commandos and a progress bar with a percentage, the bear started to mumble something not audible, but his voice became emptier, when the bar achieved 70% his eyes glowed from red to gray (sign of a shutdown mode) red to gray, and switched from gray to blue, blue to gray and again to blue, in the 90% the eyes stand in the characteristic cold blue of the other automatons. Finally, the bar was full, the percent showed 100% the tube slid up and the bear was released from its restrains.

"bear unit 5, activated and ready to serve master"

"I'm not tired of the sound of this"

"How can it be possible!"

"I'm just a business man, a soviet spy gave me a notebook, a tube full of a metallic liquid, talked about alien stuffs and disappeared, fortunately I speak Russian and I have a good sniff in money stuffs"

"I'll demand you to convert him back!" George at this moment was more afraid than fierce.

"usually I delete the memories of the mature people who discover this, and I convert only teenagers or even 21 years old people, but my girlfriend had a theory, in some subjects the reprogramming is more difficult because of what she calls 'ghosts in the can'.

your specie has many attributes and our programmers will get into your electronic brain and they'll search, copy and reprogram some robots, you and that squad will be our security system, the first attempt to search that info will be made by Katy" the jackal signaled the Abyssinian cat girl who previously confronted the dog, she waved a paw "she's well skilled and I have the feeling she will enjoy that"

"you'll pay for this"

"maybe in the future, but now... bear unit 5, help panther unit 1, both of you introduce this dog subject to the CCM03"

The guard dog resigned to his fait walked proudly into the place where the friend of his son had ben converted, both robots restrained the dog in place, all while the otter bot watched all the scene, all robots retained memories until the shutdown, unless something relevant need to be kept

"Panther unit 1, resume your activities, bear unit 5, shutdown and get prepared to recharge" soon the panther bot and the bear bot executed the orders

"Otter unit four, go to sector 9 and make sweeping labor as soon as the subject is converted and reprogramed"

Coming not to soon part 3...
