Luiza had been commissioned by a rather wealthy individual from Brazil. He had more money that most people could dream of, so he purchased the best android he could with all the trimmings…including illegal sleeper programming.

	Sleeper programming was illegal because society felt that it would be immoral to create a being that thought itself to be human. It was enough for the androids to look human, but for it to think it was human would be the ultimate form of dehumanization and slavery; creating someone who believes they are human but is subject to their programming.		Sleeper programming was illegal because society felt that it would be immoral to create a being that thought itself to be human, yet was still subservient to them. It was enough for the androids to look human, but for it to think it was human would be the ultimate form of dehumanization and slavery; creating someone who believes they are human but is subject to their programming.

	Another issue was that the sleeper programs were unstable, and it was feared they would lead to unintended consequences, such as true artificial sentience…something society was not yet prepared for.		Another issue was that the sleeper programs were unstable, and required a tremendous number of processors to filter the android’s perceptions. It was also feared they would lead to unintended consequences, such as true artificial sentience…something society was not yet prepared for.

	That being said, legal androids came pretty close, the only difference is that their programming dictates what they can and can’t do.		That being said, legal androids came pretty close, the only difference is that their programming dictates what they can and can’t do.

	The reason for her large body size was soon made apparent as soon as Jack removed the panel. Laying underneath, surrounding her standard A.I. core, were several arrays of processors…far more than a standard android would need. The extra processors were to handle the enormous strain created by her sleeper protocols, and required a larger frame, or body, to house them. It was for mainly this reason, as opposed to the aforementioned legal issues, that sleepers weren’t built. Technology hadn’t yet progressed to make that many processors fit into a more appealing, or rather, slim frame.

Technology hadn’t yet progressed to make that many processors fit into a more appealing, or rather, slim frame.

	As Jack examined her complex array of processors, he just wondered how much of the world she was experiencing was being filtered through all of them. Shaking himself out of his reverie, he grabbed the cable from his terminal and plugged it into Luiza’s core. Due to her sleeper programming, she didn’t make any verbal acknowledgement of her connection, though, her governing A.I. did notify him on his terminal and brought up her vital stats and diagnostics.

He began by opening her root configuration files…basically everything that made her was she was: her personality, her implanted memories, her experiences, and her installed programs.

	Jack’s solution to her problem was to systematically erase all memories of her previous owner. ~~That~~ was, he could properly implant new memories to make her life here easier. If he was unsuccessful, his only remaining option would be to completely reformat Luiza’s memories…basically, resetting her to factory default. Obviously, that wasn’t a good option since it would likely also remove the sleeper programming. Normally, that would be good, since it would make her easier to maintain...but, the extra processors would be too much for her normal systems to handle; that was also the reason he couldn’t put Ellie’s core in Luiza’s body, much to Ellie’s dismay.
