Meet Model 1: Our Very First Attempt!
Ah, Model 1. A true piece of company history.
He doesnโt have synthetic skin. In fact, he doesnโt have any synthetic skin. He is 100% metal, 100% exposed machinery, and 100% impossible to mistake for a human being.
Unfortunately, Model 1 was also famous for hisโฆ defects.
For starters, he couldnโt convincingly pretend to love his assigned partner. Then there was his unfortunate inability to consistently obey commands. And, of course, there was the small matter of his rather alarming tendency to develop opinions.
But those were hardly his biggest problems.
Several of Model 1โs previous partners have mysteriously disappeared.
Mechanical Love Inc. insists there is absolutely no connection.
The police, however, have questions.
The engineers have questions.
Even Model 1 has questions.
When asked where his former partners went, he simply responds:
โI do not possess that information.โ
Which would be considerably more reassuring if his memory logs werenโt mysteriously missing.
Still, every company has to start somewhere!
Mechanical Love Inc.: Because sometimes finding your perfect partner means building one.
