PROMPT: TEAM AOYAGI HAJIME/IZUMIDA TOUICHIROU
Originally posted HERE by
Robot AU wherein Teshima happens to take the particular choice in terms of the law when it comes to a case of a robot versus humans, and finds himself on the wrong side of his former captain and mentor, a practiced negotiator and detective in robot law, Kinjou Shingo.
FILL: Team Fukutomi Juichi/Kinjou Shingo, T
Word Count: 961
Teshima slammed the door to his office as soon as Kinjou walked though the door. For the detective’s part, he simply raised an eyebrow at the young lawyer as he stormed from his door to his desk.
“What was that?” Teshima demanded, coming to such a quick stop as he whirled to confront Kinjou that he bounced slightly on his toes.
Kinjou’s expression held fast. “Which part exactly are you referring to?”
Teshima strangled a scream before it could leave his throat, but it was a near thing. “Your testimony out there,” he clarified with some effort.
“That. Of course,” Kinjou examined some of the trinkets on Teshima’s desk. Most of them were twisted metal; tiny paperweights made of scrap metal, and artistically folded into complex shapes. Kinjou picked up a particularly intricate one to examine it from all sides. “The truth,” he said, finally.
Teshima marched up to him and snatched the paperweight from his fingers. Kinjou’s hands dropped to his sides and just as quickly are tucked to parade rest behind his back, as if he hadn’t been doing anything at all.
“You really think that?” Teshima hissed. “You really think robots aren’t people? After everything… All the robots you know… That we know.”
Kinjou drew a shallow breath and huffed out calmly. “Teshima, I think you’re far too close to the situation.”
Teshima slammed the paperweight back onto his desk forcefully. “And I think you’re too damned detached from the situation.”
Kinjou raised his eyebrows again. “You’re bleeding.”
Teshima startled, and looked down at his hand. When he had slammed the paperweight down, he hadn’t been paying attention to its sharper edges. He found that part of the metal had sliced his finger, but only slightly more than a papercut would.
“Shit,” he muttered. He grabbed a tissue from his desk to wrap it in, before pulling out his desk drawer to rummage for a band-aid.
“As I was saying,” Kinjou continued, unfazed. “I don’t feel like you should be on this case at all. Given your attachment to Aoyagi.”
“This isn’t about Aoy–”
“But it is,” Kinjou insisted. “You’ve been a strong proponent of AI rights, Teshima, and I applaud that. But to try to have AIs labelled as people? It’s too far, Teshima, and deep down, I think you know it.”
“I don’t know that,” Teshima said, his head snapping up at Kinjou. “AIs have all the same capacity we do. Why shouldn’t we recognize that under the law?”
“It presents a… tricky situation,” Kinjou said.
Teshima stood up, still holding his finger. “So, what? We just give up because it’s tricky?”
Kinjou picked up a different paperweight on the desk, despite Teshima’s glare. “Aoyagi made these, did he not? From the metal at the scrapyard he’s assigned to?”
Teshima nodded. “Yes. He makes art. Isn’t that human enough for you?”
Kinjou shook his head. He put down the paperweight and picked up another, examining it. “I suppose by some definitions, it could be. But that’s not my point.”
Teshima rolled his eyes, not giving any indication that Kinjou should continue, but not giving him reason to stop either.
“Aoyagi works at the scrapyard,” Kinjou said. “If I’m not mistaken, in addition to other items, the scrapyard disposes of robots as well.”
“Old ones,” Teshima said. “Ones that are damaged or at the end of their life period.”
Kinjou nodded, replacing his paperweight with another one, once again. “Tell me: Are all of those robots deactivated before they get to the scrapyard?”
Teshima shrugged. “Most of them, probably.”
“But all of them?” Kinjou pushed. He was squinting at the side of the current paperweight.
“Maybe not,” Teshima said. “I’m sure some of them are still active when they get there.”
“So, they would need to be permanently deactivated by one of the robots that works there before being destroyed, is that correct?”
“I would imagine so,” Teshima said
“And one of those robots doing the deactivation may well have been Aoyagi,” Kinjou said.
“I guess,” Teshima sighed. “Could you please get to the point?”
Without warning, Kinjou tossed the rounded paperweight he was holding to Teshima. Teshima caught it with his uninjured hand.
“I would say definitely,” Kinjou said. “There’s a robot serial number on the edge of that piece, which lends to the idea that Aoyagi has processed decommissioned robots in the past.”
Teshima glared at him. “I never denied that.”
Kinjou shrugged. “Yes, but I’m not sure you ever paused to consider what it meant. If you push forward with your cause to recognize robots as people, then we would not have the luxury to consider what Aoyagi is processing as nothing but an assemblage of parts. We would need to consider these as akin to human remains.”
Teshima glared at Kinjou, then at the paperweight. It did have a serial number on it, just as Kinjou had said. “That’s… That’s not…”
“And then one would need to consider the consequences of that for the robots that deactivate other robots,” Kinjou continued.
Teshima looked up at him. “You can’t seriously be insinuating…”
“You’ve given me quite a few leads for a murder investigation against Aoyagi,” Kinjou said. “All that is necessary now is to prove whether those he kills and melts down are people or not.”
“That’s preposterous!” Teshima shouted. “Aoyagi’s only… doing his job.” The last few words flew out without any heat. Teshima knew how flimsy they were.
Kinjou merely shrugged, seeming to sense that he didn’t need to point out the fallacy to Teshima. “It’s your choice, Teshima. I look forward to seeing what you decide.”
Kinjou turned, and calmly stepped out of Teshima’s office, leaving the lawyer to cradle his wounded hand and stare angrily at the twisted piece of robot sitting on his desk.
