SIR: Okay it's on... Now I may be a mere alien, but lighten up that your biological overlords are dead... Anywho, there are many conflicting reports on them. One of a replicator Bio-Mech killing senses of touch, yet I see here that humans developed to have "selective touch." Care to explain, robo-human?
???: The name's Larry.
SIR: So, Larry, why "robo-human"?
Larry: The Eugenics, sorry "The Patriots," reformed into existence when that was discovered in the science community, they struggled to abuse it at first. Yet their promotion of a new work force, a slave labor army really, that could work forever was rampant and won Corporations over... but there were "outcasts." That's when the term "robo-humans" existed, they'd chemically pump us "robo-humans" until we like our "biological brethren."
SIR: What did they do to "outcasts" after this?
Larry: Well this all happened in prison labor camps: if you didn't get your chemical check-up or you did what a prisoner does to survive or if they spotted you feeling more than one touch-sense, all lead to death by chemical-pumping... In the end The Patriots won: robo-humans felt the pickax, but never the muscle aches. 'Til one's limbs snapped that you felt blood spurting or your phantom limbs at work. Never together... Huh, without Neque-Tactus targeting our biological brethren, all robo-humans would've died or joined the slave-army eventually... Funny that they even chemically pumped themselves to acquire such...
SIR: Wait the recorder is screwing up, guess that's all for today...

Ooo that is a really clever way to frame the prompt, and allow some exposition without it jarring in the plot. You paint a picture with holes the right sized for imagination - this was such a hard one but very well done!

UwU ~ Thanks for reading and thanks for the compliments. This one was a tricky one with the 250 word limit, but I squeezed by alright.

The pleasure was mine :) I thought it was a min of 250? Or is that what you meant? I am hoping to just about pip an entry (cos I hate to miss a round) but I am on about 450!

Well the rules specify around 250 words, so I guess it still acts as a limit of some sorts. And you can do it, I’m here believing you!

First of all I'd like to apologize for being so overly late... No excuse can do me just at this point.
I have upvoted a newer post of yours since it wouldn't count here.
Well done with the story, though! I thoroughly enjoyed its setting, and the idea behind it. Killing everyone with a "non-selective" touch... Sound cruel...
Though maybe the selective touch wouldn't be all that bad. Maybe instead of just being able to ignore the negative sensations... the positive ones would be heightened?
I wonder ... ... NSFW ... ... ;)

OwO ~ Thanks for reading. You know [nsfw stuff] and [blabberings of “selective touching”] could be an interesting prospect and so on and so on. But I rather not touch erotic literature rn.
