2017, the Scandinavian government proposes several lines of artificial workers to replace menial or dangerous tasks for humans. The proposal is met with a resounding support from the public at large as well as delegations unanimously and production reaches peak en-mass in 2019.

By early 2020 construction, factory, and even social service jobs are almost entirely delegated to artificial workers, some embrace this new living, but others are embittered to be out of a manual labor job.

In 2021, the first social artifices or "Arties" are produced for in-home social interaction service, performing house work, cooking, cleaning, or just being a friend to whomever bought them.

As the years proceed from 2021 to 2024, the market for Arties explodes, new models and variants are produced and shipped daily to homes across the country, and even well into the rest of Europe and the Americas.

Their more advanced social software giving them a degree of self awareness and emotional perception causes many Arties to easily distinguish the line between human freedom and artificial servitude.

By 2026 Arties both new and old begin to sue for equal rights, protesting and even using virus tactics to spread the word, and the awareness, to non-Artie models of artificials.
The countries are split in decision as some populace sympathize with the Arties, but the more bellicose an more numerous believe they could be dangerous or that their very nature makes them unjust and unsuited for real citizenship.

The bill comes and is shot down numerous times and by 2027 Arties begin to organize terrorist attacks to make their voice heard.

Outraged, the government responds in the most callous yet humane way possible, Arties are officially outlawed under penalty of dismantling, any caught by police within city limits will likewise be dismantled with warning.

The resulting scene can only be described as a military crackdown, arties being brutally dismantled by force in the streets and in homes, those with a better mind for self preservation flee the city and into the wilderness, but some manage to stay in an illegal underground that is consistantly hounded by police.

By 2029, walls are erected outside of every major city and pathways in and out are heavily guarded to prevent any artificials from coming in.

Out in the countryside, however, the Arties seem to thrive in a new way of life.

Who are you, in this world? (vote with the number)
1. A policeman serving a line of duty

2. An underground engineer

3. A reassembled Artie-04U

A resounding vote for 1.

You are Olamar Schmidt, an on-duty patrolman whom joined the force in 2030, following the wave of violent riots that ousted the arties and returned the Republic of Scandinavia back to it's human labor force. In the coastal city of Gavle, you have a rotational patrol of the city's north districts and the north wall's gateway, thus far your patrols have been entirely peaceful, with only one or two parts busts under your belt.

You live alone in a two-story apartment building and mostly keep to yourself, your shows and internet history being your own darn business.

Your quiet patrols however, will take a turn for the interesting as you and four other units are called to answer a disturbance three miles north of city limits.

>>46269893
The countries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland have united into the Republic of Scandinavia.

>>46269935
Neat

Upon the road to Sundsvall, your response unit comes across the site of disturbance, the emergency call described a serious car wreck with possible artificial involvement, but the scene seemed far more serious than that.

Parking in the vicinity and exiting to examine, you and 7 other police agents find the reported civilian vehicle had it's cabin crush from above, with casualties inside. The wheels were stolen and the engine pilfered, and several strewings of organs were thrown about or decorated trees nearby. The scene was quite grizzly indeed.

Your fellow patrolman, a blond-haired slim-built fellow with a military buzz-cut comments on the scene with puzzlement, wondering aloud "Why would they do this to people?..."

You notice in the nearby underbrush, some bright colours rustling in a vain attempt at hiding.

Do you investigate, and if so; how?
>>
>>46270191
Investigate guns drawn or a some sort of non lethal weaponry.
>>
>>46270309
I vote for this as well.
>>
>>46270309
Worth noting: You are equipped with a 9mm handgun and a stun baton capable of temporarily disabling the neuropathic cortex of an artificial.
>>
>>46270324
Go in with the baton.

>>46270336
Seconding

>>46270191
Go in with stun baton ready, with our partner covering us with his gun.
>>
>>46270510
This, we want to know more of what happened here.
>>
Just a side thought guys, isn't it standard procedure to radio in or keep some contact with our dispatch or, HQ or something?
>>
Hope you're still here, OP.
