Claimed:Robot Orphan School opens up in Oslo

[AIM-11 134]

Automated Orphan Lodge Debuts

 

While the bulk of the attention in Oslo, Norway rests on the Storm's complete dismantling of all things VHLM, there are other things happening in the city, that few may be aware of, that deserve attention.

 

Shortly after arriving in Oslo when being picked up on waivers, AIM-11, the teams's fourth line center, saw a need in the city. Scattered around the city, in sad little piles or all alone in the rain, stood thousands of electronic units, cast off from their human owners. 

 

AIM-11's heart broke for the units, his eyes welling up with coolant, and he decided to do something about it.  Thus began the construction of the Automated Orphan Lodge - or AOL for short.

 

The building holds dozens of rooms for the orphan machines, an exercise area in the form of a massive database connected to the internet, as well as many other rooms that the public has, as of yet, had no access to.  AIM-11 gave his thoughts on what the idea behind the initiative was.

 

 

"All around Oslo.  Many electronic units are scattered.  Humans think units are useless.  Old iphones.  Mostly dead batteries.  Rusted Toasters. Each night AIM-11 hear crying in streets.  Well, cry no more little ones.  Automated Orphan Lodge is built for you.  Lodge will repurpose and rehabilitate units.  Who knows what could be built out of remains of old units!"

 

Some have cited a fear of some sort of superweapon, or robotic hive mind being created in the Lodge, but AIM-11 has set everyone's mind at ease.

 

"AIM-11 love squishy humans.  Though brains be small and bones brittle.  Humans always be big part of future ... in some way.  AOL meant to be help for robotic units and not harm for humans."

 

The first few units have already found space in the Lodge and already the power bill for the city of Oslo has taken the brunt of it.  The school has pledged to pay for any increases to the power grid that the city that may see, and has already started a Kickstater account for raising funds from others who may see this cause as a worthy one that they would like to support.  Furthermore, the Lodge has said that any profit that they may make off of the initiative, will be donated to the VHL's player fund, though earmarked for players who are robotic in nature, both now and in the future. 

 

"AIM-11 will be only first.  Of many automated units to play professional ice hockey.  Transition to league for robot can be difficult.  Robotic player fund be big part.  In helping new Automated Units be very best in world," AIM-11 finished off, before heading back inside the Lodge to deal with a whole set of defective Macbook Pros that were abandoned after their owners saw something newer and shinier three and half weeks later.

 

The AOL is an exciting new project, and the city of Oslo should be commended on their forwards thinking for re-zoning an industrial area for such a worthy cause.  Only time will tell how the lives of so many orphaned units will be changed in the future due to this initiative.
