Chapter 1
Reboot
Inside of a hanger at Yukitoa Air Force base, Japan.
A Tachikoma awakes; like a new born it is blinded from the light as it sees for the first time in its new life, after its vision adjusted it stands up and walks around the hangar.
"Where am I?" it asked itself as it walked pass the large hanger door.
Faded memories and extreme confusion runs through its head as it continuously paces back and forth underneath a large draped American flag.
"This isn't right, this isn't right at all" it said.
The hangar door opened, the tachikoma stood still as if it was offline.
Two men in olive green mechanic coveralls walked in.
"Ok lets check on our new security unit" said one of them.
"So we got another tachikoma unit huh?" said the other tech.
"Yeah, since the Japanese government is upgrading their think tanks we can pick these things up for cheap" said the senior tech as he looked over some papers on a clipboard.
One of the techs inspects the tank; after a few seconds the tech froze, and stood up.
"Airmen what the hell is wrong with you, you look like you seen a ghost or something!" said the senior tech.
"Its on" said the other tech.
"What!" shouted the senior tech as he ran over to the think tank.
"Not good!" thought the Tachikoma as the techs got closer to it.
"This is strange, I have never heard of an AI booting itself!" said the senior tech as he paged through his notes on the clip board.
"Maybe it's a defect" said the other tech.
"perhaps" said the senior tech as he continued to page through his notes.
He began read some of his notes.
"A standard tachikoma unit, with a basic AI Neurochip, hmm, its just like the other units, but there's something strange with this one" said the senior tech.
"Should we send it back to the lab the we bought it from?" asked the other tech.
The tachikoma began to panic.
"No, not yet, we should probably run some tests on it first, the air force would not be happy with us if we throw away equipment before we even try to fix it." said the senior tech.
"I have to find a way to convince these guys that I'm normal" Thought the tachikoma.
"open its hull and take out its Neurochip for testin…"
"Greetings, I am a tachikoma; I am at your command" interrupted the tachikoma in a plain robot-like voice.
The tech made a run for the door.
"Airmen! Relax, this unit appears to be functioning properly" said the senior tech.
He looked over the tachikoma.
"OK, lets do a coordination check" he said
"Tachikoma lift up your front left leg" ordered the senior tech.
The tachikoma obeyed the techs orders, the tech writes some things down in his clipboard and says, "good, now put it down and lift up your front right leg"
The tachikoma once again followed the techs orders.
The tech pulls out a small flashlight and began waving it around.
"with your main eye, follow the light" he said.
The think tank watched the light move back and forth.
The senior tech writes a few things down on his clip board, after a few minute he sets his pen down.
"Everything checks out, hook this unit up to the computer, and we'll check on the others" said the senior tech as he walked for the door.
"Others?" thought the tachikoma as the other tech hooked it to the computer.
Itwatched the two men disappear into the bright light outside hangar, the door closed sendingthe room into darkness.
"That was close!" said the tachikoma.
It unhooked itself from the computer and proceeded to find a way out of the hangar.
"Hello" said a familiar voice of a tachikoma.
"Huh?" said the tachikoma. It looked around trying to find who ever was talking to it, but found nothing.
"Hello?" said the voice again.
"Hello" said another tachikoma voice.
Suddenly the think tank was overwhelmed with the voices of its former comrades from section nine, each one of them talking over each other at the same time.
The tachikoma began to shake and twitch violently as the voices grew louder, it collapsed to the floor, its systems began to fail, and its vision began to fade, within minutes it laid on the ground, lifeless.
End of chapter one.
