Author's Note:After four years, I'm back with my first "all-new" fanfic... and this one is a continuation of the previous season's story arcs to a sense of completion. If you've not yet watched Season 19 in full, I would not recommend reading this fanfic. You can always bookmark it and come back. I'm sure come S20 this fic will be irrelevant, but hopefully it'll be fun to write and to read, at least :)
This is my first new work in a while so you may notice some differences in writing style, humor, headcanon, and so forth. I'm older and more boring.

"THE ADS AWAKEN"
Prologue

Critical Error...
If there was one benefit of being a non-biological being, programmed from afar and created from artificial materials, it was the allure of immortality. All it took to restore a damaged unit was to rework information from the cloud back into a new unit.
Executing restoration program...
As the original model had been destroyed some days earlier, and it's intelligence matrix heavily damaged, it had taken longer than usual to network the information from the cloud-based drive that had been specific to this unit. Nonetheless, they had restored the vital data.
Re-mapping intelligence matrix...
A small, generic device that closely resembled a flash drive popped out of a small box - as a switch was turned, the small device began to process the massive amounts of recovered data, organizing it as it once had been, as it tried to recall it's programming.
Accessing unit template...
A metallic, clawed arm removed the device and inserted it into the head of a generic robotic body to the proportions of a fourth grader, with black, hollow eyes and a chrome-like silver finish. The head was shut closed as the effort completed.
Generating new three-dimensional texture...
A sensor appeared and began to 'scan' the robotic body from the bottom up, a pair of black gym shoes, green pants, and a bright yellow shirt with a small alien's face on it appeared, with flesh seeming to appear on the body as hands and a pretty face appeared, raven hair and a golden headband completing the unmistakable image of Leslie Meyers.
Activating link to the Global Ad Network...
Her green eyes opened, flickering yellow for a moment as she awakened, "Huh? I'm alive?" Suddenly her eyes closed again.
Applying Updates... Please Wait...
The shitty thing about not being a product of nature is being at the mercy of automatic product updates. Some inconveniences were simply unavoidable.
To Be Continued...
