The Wakeman File
I own nothing except the OC and the story line
Chapter One
Birthday surprise
As XJ-9 (also known as Jenny) awoke from her sleep cycle she felt different. Scared by the unfamiliar and unknown difference in her room Jenny did a quick scan of the room. Jenny waited and waited finally after 3.25 seconds (a long time for her) she got the results back. Jenny was shocked that nothing was out of place her room was just the same, but there was something wrong. Jenny decided that she would look around anyway because her scan was known to miss small things. Jenny got out of bed and as her feet touched the floor…
Dr. Nora Wakeman was an elderly (and rather short) woman. Who after making 9 "children" could sleep through a bomb blast (she did once actually but that's another story) but she woke up to a scream that threatened to burst her eardrums and that scream came from her daughter XJ-9.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH COLD" screamed Jenny. 1.38 seconds later Dr. Wakeman burst into Jenny's room (beating her old record of 2.01 seconds) with two futuristic looking guns held high. "Jenny what is it? Cluster attack, Virus, Evil robot army?" Dr. Wakeman asked. "Um mom I think you forgot something" Jenny said. Indeed she did Dr. Wakeman was wearing nothing but her socks. "No time for that, what's wrong? Asked Dr. Wakeman, Jenny took 1.61 seconds to ponder this "what is wrong? "Jenny asked herself. Then she remembered the floor was cold… wait the floor was cold? How did she know that? She could not feel cold she was a robot.
Seeing her daughter was in no danger Dr. Wakeman dropped her weapons and sat down on Jenny's bed and saw that the young robot's face had a smile on it. Dr. Wakeman had seen this smile twice before once when she finished her first mathematical analysis by herself and again when she took out her first target. It was a smile of understanding and knowledge, but of what Dr. Wakeman didn't know.
Jenny smiled to herself as she remembered last night…
Flashback
It had been a long day she had just turned 15 that morning and there had been a party for her. She had invited everyone she wanted to come the list was short: Brad, Tuck, Silver Shell, Mom, XJ-1 through 8 and Sheldon (Dr. Wakeman made her invite him). To her disappointment Silver Shell (and Sheldon) didn't come. So she drifted through the party until it was over. After presents and two cakes (one for the robots and one for the humans) she when to bed Jenny was just engaging her sleep cycle when there was a tap on her window. Jenny was up like a shot and over at the window pulling it open. It was only Sheldon she had hoped it was the silver shell (poor Sheldon if only she knew he was the silver shell) but she let him in anyway. "H...H...Hi J…J...Jenny" Sheldon stuttered. "Sheldon how did you get to my window?" Jenny asked." Never mind that Jenny I brought you a present" Sheldon answered. Jenny loved presents so she held out her hands. Sheldon never one to keep his" love" waiting handed over a small rectangular box. "Oh great another tech manual" Jenny though before she even opened the box. But when she opened the box …
Sheldon over the years had come to know his "girlfriend" better and had been dropping hints about this gift for some time; all the tech manuals had been all on the same subject "the human nervous system". It had taken him five years to make and now… his thoughts where interrupted by a box to the face…
Jenny set what looked to be a clear rubber square on her bed. "What is it?" Jenny asked. "If you read the tech manuals you would know" Sheldon replied. On a whim Jenny walked over to the bookshelf and picked out a tech manual. When she opened the book and read the title she almost screamed. "Sheldon…you…made…me…skin?" Jenny asked almost in tears (if she could cry that is) "No jenny I made you a nerves system. You will feel what human's feel." exclaimed Sheldon. Jenny was speechless but Sheldon was going on and on about his invention "hot, cold, pleasure, everything..." Sheldon stopped in mid sentence though for a second and continued "… except pain" at that Jenny snapped out of what ever trance she had been in "Sheldon would you install it now please?" Jenny almost begged. Happy to comply Sheldon lead Jenny to her own bed "Jenny I will have to shut you down and the installation takes three hours so I will set it so that when you re-boot you will be in sleep mode is that alright with you? Sheldon asked. "Ok but how do you know how to do that?" Jenny replied. Smiling Sheldon gave her the answer "Well I had to make sure it was the right size and compatible with your system so…" Sheldon held up some papers "…I got your blueprints from your mom." Jenny was shocked her mom hadn't even shown her some of these blueprints and here Sheldon had them all. "I'm going to give them back to her tomorrow" Sheldon said with a hint of fear in his voice. "Its OK Sheldon now let's hook this baby up to me" Jenny told him as she powered down.
End flashback
… Her audio sensors picked up something coming from down stairs she listened…
"XJ-9 GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT" Dr. Wakeman called. Just as she finished yelling a blue streak went through the kitchen and there was Jenny sitting on the counter. "Off the counter and get ready for school XJ-9" Dr. Wakeman said. As she watched her daughter leave for school Dr. Wakeman wondered if her daughter was old enough to know the truth, but her motherly instincts told her it was not yet time so she would wait, just a little longer…
