The Bio-Teks were built, but the money suddenly stopped, the spaceship was scrapped, and five very expensive and intelligent near-humans plus two super animals looked around their laboratory and asked the scientists “Who are we?”, “Where are we?” And a short while later as their knowledge modules connected up with memory and energy cells, they asked
“How is it we know all this but we have no history of living?”
It took some weeks for the scientists to explain to them that their mission was cancelled and the bots were unemployed, so to speak.
The sophistication of these robots was so advanced that NASA realized it was a waste to have to put them in storage and so they were released to work and live among humans with full citizenship rights. Once a year they had to report to NASA for debriefing, to fill in reports of their experiences and have physical check-ups.
