Built on an alternate version of Earth in the midst of a global war, TX88 is an Applied Atomics HS (Humanoid Support) model 238, IS (Infantry Suppression) variant. I was created in a in the east coast of the US in Applied Atomics factory number 5711. Constructed of the most durable and lightest alloys available with a miniaturized fusion reactor that makes up about one third of its total body weight.. It saw combat in western Europe where it distinguished itself from the other bots in its battalion by developing sapience. TX88’s human handler/commander lieutenant Adrian Hunt kept TX88’s sapience a secret for the duration of the war knowing that if it was discovered TX would have been immediately decommissioned. They developed a parent-child relationship as the war kept going. At the end of the war Adrian ordered TX88 to enter standby mode while it was in a field of flowers. He remained there undisturbed for 70 years.

Background

Built on an alternate version of Earth in the midst of a global war, TX88 is an Applied Atomics HS (Humanoid Support) model 238, IS (Infantry Suppression) variant. I was created in a in the east coast of the US in Applied Atomics factory number 5711. Constructed of the most durable and lightest alloys available with a miniaturized fusion reactor that makes up about one third of its total body weight.. It saw combat in western Europe where it distinguished itself from the other bots in its battalion by developing sapience. TX88’s human handler/commander lieutenant Adrian Hunt kept TX88’s sapience a secret for the duration of the war knowing that if it was discovered TX would have been immediately decommissioned. They developed a parent-child relationship as the war kept going. At the end of the war Adrian ordered TX88 to enter standby mode while it was in a field of flowers. He remained there undisturbed for 70 years.

2211 - after a failed solar system colonization attempt nearly 100 years prior and the high cost of mining asteroids Earth is left in a precarious position. The expected technological singularity never occured and after molecular computers it was discovered that not only was that the limit of silicon transistors but that quantum computers were also out of the realm of possibility. Exacerbating this was the debris surrounding earth making space launches an impossible for the next few decades. In a desperate bid to secure more resources the USSR invades Communist China.

China having lagged in isolation after the mid 21st century was not prepared for the onslaught of the modern soviet war machine. The war lasts for nine months and results in 32 million deaths. On the other side of the world the US begins a series of coup d'etats in Latin America with the intent of creating an American League led by the US. In reality this is a move to secure the resources of these lands while repressing its peoples. Other powers attempt to establish regional control from France in Europe to Ethiopia in Africa and Israel in the Middle East. A few weeks after the Sino-Soviet war Jerusalem is bombed by religious extremists of indeterminate faith. The situation in the ME becomes chaotic as a United States intervenes using the excuse of a holy war to recruit the more religious people of Latin America into its armies.

Europe also intervenes after several europeans are killed in by an US strike on an aid caravan. With its vast resources and manpower the US is able to pacify the ME in a year and broker a peace treaty with europe after another six months. Scared of America’s religious revival europe signs a defensive pact with the USSR.

In 2213 the inevitable happened the USSR invaded Japan on faulty orders. Despite the accidental nature of the incident neither side would concede to the other and a full war began. Despite only signing a defensive pact with the USSR Europe was invaded by both the US and the USSR. The war quickly reached global proportions with fighting on every continent including the US invasion and subsequent conquest of Cuba. In most of the fronts a stalemate was eventually reached by the year 2221 with the exception of europe where the US forces are able to slowly push back the Soviet forces until they reach the Soviet border.

The attack was not at all expected by the US and Cuba is recaptured in weeks. From there the Soviet forces attempt to land in three separate locations Florida, Texas, and Veracruz.
