A/N: Something a little different. I don't own Megaman/Rockman or related items, that belongs to Capcom and resp. owners. I own my OCs Piano and her...sister though.

Entry 001: Hello_World
ACTIVATION ROUTINE SUCCESSFUL. SYSTEMS CHECK COMPLETE. ALL AREAS FUNCTIONAL.
Unh. Hello. Hello? Where am I? …Scilabs. I'm in a lab? A lab…so that's what this big white place with a dark sky and white shapes hanging in the air is. The floor is a strange thing. I touch it with my hands and it feels solid…I touch it with these antennae things on my head and they show me strings and layer upon layer of ones and zeroes, bits and bytes…and data. Lots, and lots of data.
"Good morning, Piano. How are you feeling?" A warm male voice speaks to me from the other side of a window- wait, no it's a screen. I'm inside a computer. Piano…that must be my name.
"I'm fully functional sir." Who is this man?
"Very good. I am Dr. Takamisaki, I created you," he informs me. He created me? So that must mean…
"You are to me what humans call a "father"?" He smiles when I ask, smiling as though I were a small child.
"Yes, I suppose so," he replies.
"Would you prefer me to call you Dr. Takamisaki or may I call you "Father"?" I wouldn't want to offend him…somehow, having a family seems important.
"You may call me "Papa"." …a synonym for "father" and more familial.
"Yes, papa. What would you have me do?"
"Since you just woke up, would you like to explore the labs? It wouldn't do to have you get lost in the network," he suggests. That sounds reasonable.
"Yes, papa. Are there areas I shouldn't go to?"
"You may go where ever you like, through any door you can open or any bridge you come across. Just watch out for Alpha, the Internet Prototype Dr. Hikari Sr. is working on. You will recognize it- it is a large data structure with many wires connected to it. You can look at it, but don't touch it. Dr. Hikari Sr. doesn't want anything to happen to it yet." Internet Prototype Alpha, understood.
"Understood, papa."
"Do you have any questions, Piano?"
Questions…oh, maybe I should ask him- wait, I don't need to. My program README says that I am a repair navi…so these antennae things must make me able to access the programming in the data structures.
"No, papa."
"Alright then, I will come to pick you up from where-ever you are at seventeen hours sharp." The screen disappears, and I am left on my own. This network is vast, I wonder if I can explore much in these seven hours I have? But it will do me no good to stand here. I think there's some enticing-looking shiny blue data over in that path, maybe I will start there.
The distance is a bit larger than I anticipated. It took me a full four minutes and fifteen seconds to reach it. The data prism is smooth and blue. It looks relatively harmless, so it should be a good way to test this data reader ability I seem to have. Tentatively I poke the prism with my antennae- the antennae are easy to use, like a second pair of hands. For a nanosecond my vision is filled with ones and zeroes, in a pattern that appears to be battle chip data.
[Identified mystery data. Input response.] A message flashed in front of my eyes.
"Open mystery data." As if responding to that command, the antennae flash green and the outside peels away to reveal a Repair battle chip. The act of finding and discovering things is refreshing- I think I will go try to find some more. A small pouch appears in front of me and opens. I place the chip inside, and the pouch attaches to my waist. That is useful.
I wander down the corridor I have chosen, and find more such mystery data. Occasionally I would reach a purple one, which appears to be encrypted, but even that is no trouble. By the time I reached the end of that network path, my little pouch was considerably fuller than it was before. Most of what I have found are repair chips, recovery chips and the odd Invisible- I had discovered a different class of chips called "Subchips" according to my internal database, most of those were again recovery type and the odd Unlocker, which was of no use to me. There were also these items called "Bugfrags". They are lovely, even though I can tell they're pieces of corrupted data. One such bit looked a bit like food so I took a nibble- and I found they are quite tasty. I conclude that they must be a sort of navi-snack. I shall have to ask papa later. There were a couple of rare-looking combat type chips I happened on. One of these is something that looks like a super-strong barrier, and another appears to be some sort of bamboo lance set. There were, finally, also these odd coin-like data that according to my database are "zenny"- currency units. I have no use for them presently, perhaps papa will like it. I do not know why, but I feel the need to keep all these recovery chips on hand for some unknown crisis.
Time flies by quickly when one is enjoying themselves. Soon it was already time for Papa to come pick me up. I have explored two or three corridors and passed through one locked door, which opened after a while for me. Papa seems tired. Perhaps he will be taking me in that…PET…of his to where-ever he lives for the evening. I hope tomorrow will be as fun as today.
