This is hopefully the start of a series of articles that I will write to give a sense of how an outsider perceives Hathian for the first time. I guess I should tell you a little about myself even if we are taught not to make ourselves the story… This will have to serve as my profile until our editor updates the staff page.
So, hi! I’m a recent grad from Missouri State in Journalism. Given the times and cuts being made nation wide by news organizations as the great AI sweep occurs, I find myself in a bit less technically oriented locale but am excited to learn all about it!
Ironically, my very first encounter with a proverbial person of interest in the city after settling in to my inn room was with a marvel of modern technology which may very well put the entire police force’s jobs at risk of loss just like journalists! Not to mention some other professions. (Pretty sure he corners the market on being an asshole as well – Ed)
This marvel of technological advancement is a melding of man and machine that goes by the name of Ellis! Or such was the nom de guerre given. Apparently the victim of some heart stopping event that required a mechanical heart replacement, he has a mechanical arm that is clearly on the cutting edge. He claimed to be, in his words, “The effect of an experiment.” A closer examination of his face showed he had hair follicles growing from what appeared to be a metal mask, but that didn’t make sense, so I am guessing it is actually a very detailed tattoo, no doubt tribute to his new life as a cyborg!
(Editor’s Note: Carter Ellis has been the subject of much writing in the Observer, although it’s kinda cute to see him turning ‘a new leaf’ with a presumably pretty new reporter in town. Sadly, I have not yet had the time to meet our latest recruit. But just in case citizens are already up in (real) arms about praise for Carter, here, to balance the scales is your editor with:
- Metal Man by Maja
- I tried to save his life, but…
- Someone saw what?
- Carter was on the list…
- Carter’s ISO Treatments…
But maybe he’s a reformed man. Afterall, he only threatened to throw me out of HPD’s lobby for asking questions on a crime. He didn’t actually do it. That’s an improvement – Ed)
The Long Arm of the Law

Of course, he is also enough of a male homosapien (This article is not about Lee – Ed) that as soon as I took my initial picture of him, he was offering to show me more, and asked if he should undress! Being from Missouri, the Show Me State, I was not surprised, having experienced this behaviour before.
Ever inquisitive, I asked for more information. When I questioned if his dick was mechanical as well, he explained, again in his words:
“I have a one huge battery that connects to the nerves end and when I get horny my dick starts to grow. I can go with a slow motion or a fast rabbit motion. But I tend to be very hard and long. It can be painful for female users.”
(Maja was right – Ed) – So, clearly this has some bugs to be worked out of it, but once perfected gives a whole new meaning to the term to ‘Protect and Serve’! But, there is of course one more thing! He continued to explain, “Yes I have a few additional endings. I can fuck with two cocks at once. Give an extra stimulation with vibration. Sadly robots can’t feel. I don’t feel my arm and I partly only feel my dick. Depends on the woman’s stimulation. Sexy sounds always help. Besides. I am not a real cop. I am here just standing and looking dangerous dressed as a cop.” (That’s fucking reflective and deep – Ed)
So this beta version of the new cop is apparently only a display model it seems and Ellis did seem to mention that there were worries about Intellectual Property theft by women, I could only assume he meant foreign interests that might capitalize on and copy the technology. Perhaps that is why he is here, in Hathian, far and away from where anyone would think to find such a marvel of US technological and engineering prowess! To that end he did require me to put aside my camera before taking a picture, so a filler vibrating dick pic will have to do for the purposes of this article. Again, there are bugs to be worked out, as apparently he could not take the marvel out of his pants on his own and requested my assistance.

Unfortunately, before I could get glimpse or grasp of this modern miracle, he was called away, and this intrepid reporter could only wonder at the articulating hermetically sealed wonder that was concealed by that imposing HPD uniform.
Given all the advancements in AI and robotics, there may soon be a day when you no longer need even the half of the man to be protected and served alike! Of course, there are a great many questions to be asked and bugs to be worked out before that day comes. But I promise you can expect that this Missouri girl will be on it!
So stay tuned for more!
Dear Hathian, we appear to have an out and about Maja version 2… Or else Carter has developed a funny bone(r) and that, for him, considering past stories is also impressive. Either way… the Observer will keep you informed, entertained and more. Thank you to our new reporter for this story! – Ed
