Andrew’s real name was the R-58 Droid. He was built by the Droidtech Corporation for the United States Military. R-58 was designed to be the ultimate soldier/assassin. He was built to resemble an attractive human male so he could be an effective killer. One year later, R-58 was part of a test flight. During the flight, his plane was shot down. It’s unknown who was responsible for shooting the plane down. When the plane crashed, R-58’s memory and motor functions were destroyed. R-58 was broken and lying next to a plane that was about to explode. Just then, a man named Jon Peterson came out of the woods and rescued the damaged R-58 unit. Jon took him home and repaired his android body and added modifications–emotional, sexual, educational, and ethical software. R-58 woke up angry! With no memory and no instructions, he grabbed Jon violently. Scared for his life, Jon lied to the android and told him that he was experiencing the symptoms of amnesia. Jon called the R-58 android Andrew. After one day of living with Jon, Andrew discovered that Jon was gay. Shocked at first, Andrew thought that he must be his lover. So, he started acting like it. Then, Andrew met Jon’s best friend, Janice Williams. Janice did not like Andrew from the first moment she met him. She saw Andrew as a bug that needed to be crushed. Upon visiting Club Honcho’s, Andrew was attacked by military men that seemed to know what and who he was. In the fight, Andrew was injured and discovered he was not a real human. Meanwhile, Janice convinced Jon to leave Andrew behind. Andrew killed the military men. He returned to Jon’s house to confront him about his existence. Jon told him the truth and Andrew angrily left Jon—Andrew felt he was being used. Janice was elated by Andrew’s actions and brought Jon a new man to replace the robot. Janice, thinking she had fixed everything, left for Hawaii. Six months later, Andrew returned to Jon’s house with an apology and an offer of companionship. He saw Jon as the only man that could help him find out who he was. He discovered Derek Thomas was Jon’s new boyfriend. Andrew set out to sabotage their relationship so that he could have Jon. He set up a video camera and enticed Derek into a sexual scene which he recorded. Later, he threatened Derek with showing this tape to Derek’s family if Derek didn’t leave Jon immediately. Derek told Jon he was just having “a bit of fun” with him and left the house. Andrew was ecstatic and immediately went to work on getting Jon back. Janice returned to discover that Andrew was back--she yelled at both of them and said she would discover the truth about what happened. Confronting Derek, she learned of the tape and quickly returned to Jon’s house to find it. She was appalled by what she saw on the tape. She threatened Andrew, when he returned from a shopping trip, with telling Jon the truth. During the argument, Janice’s painful past was revealed by Andrew. Janice burst into tears and she tried to resist his sympathy. Andrew managed to console her. Janice destroyed the videotape and told him that she would keep this secret. Andrew was thankful to Janice but wondered about their friendship. Andrew still wondered who he really was--who made him and why was it so important that they wanted him destroyed? He also wanted to find out what a real relationship was. At first, he was doing what Jon wanted him to do--now, he wanted Jon. He was starting to realize that he and Jon are in danger.
