Character Spotlight: Galatea, the Prototype (Part I)

No war, no rebellion, no bloodshed - AI took over the world in a peaceful and progressive way. With artificial wombs relieving women of the duty to reproduce and domestic robots taking care of the elders, the birthrate drop and global aging's cure seems to have been found in science, with an unexpected side effect: the collapse of traditional family value, which is to a large degree rooted in procreation and risk sharing, rendered marriage insignificant.

Sex androids rapidly took over the carnal moiety of intimate relationships, more often than not better than their human counterparts. DMAIC (Daidalos Military-Academic-Industrial Complex), a prospering tech giant did not stop here: they cast their eyes on creation of an android who can rival a real human being, both appearance and character wise. After 12 years of mass scale inter-disciplinary research, Galatea was born.
