Prologue - Forgotten reunion

The year: 3010

It was a metal room that smelt of burning plastic. Robots lay in pieces on the floor, all except for one. Silky auburn hair covered the robot's open eyes but L could guess what colour would greet him should he move the fringe away, a chocolate gaze. He should know this metal-person's name but alas it fluttered away from his inquisitive fingers, all he could remember was the young man's face, smiling at him. L's gaze travelled further downwards, noting the torn shirt which was stained with oil and blood. Something silver glinted underneath the his cuff and L rolled the sleeve up, the robot's right hand was damaged - not beyond repair but close enough - the only thing keeping it attached to the rest of his body was a group of multicoloured wires. This was not the most interesting part of the metal-man, to L's surprise the letter of his name was tattooed on the wrist.
"Who are you?"
Of course he did not reply but soon he would, once L found a way to reboot the robot all his questions would be answered.
Yeah right.
