1.1 Initiation

"..."

My first thoughts, didn't exist. I couldn't speak. I couldn't think. I just rested on the table. I couldn't feel it, but I knew, I had an arm, and a torso. I didn't move my arm because there was no reason to. The darkness once again took over. Instantly after I closed my eyes, I woke again. I once again just knew I could talk, and I knew I had a completed torso. Without reason to move, I lay there still, blinking every 5 seconds. I heard talk.

"... He seems stabl..." "... est is completed..." "... hut him down again. ..."

Once again, it went dark. The next time I woke up, however... It was different. In my head, a phrase repeated, and I said it out loud.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Three people looked at me with surprise. One ran over and stared down at me. I wondered what I had that drew him to this particular part of me. it was almost if he was gazing into me. "Can you repeat that?" he asked. "What's going on?" I asked again, in the same, robotic tone. "... Aha, it can talk. Not a defined voice for it though." he said, walking over to a computer. "It can also hear my voice. Let's see if it's eyes work." he finished saying. Somebody else walked over this time. Almost instantly, a word popped into my mind when I looked at this person.

"Female." I said. The doctor was a woman, who upon hearing me say "female", smiled brightly. "It's motion sensors work, and it appears to be getting a visual. Let's verify that." she said. She moved back and went to the computer the previous doctor went to. I turned my head to see if I could assist. "Need assistance?" I asked in my monotonic voice.

Their ears perked up as they heard me say that phrase. On the screen they were looking at, was something odd. It was like I was looking out of my eyes twice. I looked slightly to the left to try and outwit the computer screen. It matched me. I looked straight up at the ceiling again.

"Alright, we're going to shut you down for awhile again so we can finish you, alright?" the third doctor said. This time, I said something else.

"Reploid."

The third doctor was a Reploid Scientist with a male build. My eyes were forced closed once again. I woke up. This time, not only did I know, but I could feel a full body on me. My legs and arms were complete, I felt my body was strong, tough, and durable. When I opened my eyes, I felt a sense of freedom. I stared down a hallway, nobody else was there. It was a blank hallway with only white, and was very bright. I wasn't held down this time, and I felt like proceeding down the hallway. It seemed long. I tried to move my foot, and I did. I walked in a straight, neat, profile line down the hallway. I came to the end after a few seconds, and there seemed to be a door. I opened it to have confetti shot on me, and over 10 people shouting "SURPRISE". It was quite an odd first event. I recognized three people there; the scientists responsible for my creation.

"Welcome, you are our first Reploid we've created, and it would of taken longer if it weren't for the technology of New Generation Reploids." the Reploid scientist said. They brought me over to a chair, which looked comfy. I sat down, and I was right. It was very comfy.

"You were originally planned to assist with the Orbital Elevator, Jakob, but a few days ago, the director was kidnapped and there's only guards there and a few Reploids staying there to slowly, but surely, complete the move to the moon. You will instead be assisting the laboratory here and it's doctors, professors, and students." the female doctor said.

I was surprised by most of what she said, but what really surprised me, was when she said I would be assisting Students. "Students?" I asked.

I was being driven to a location in Neo Tokyo, Japan. I looked back to see the building I was created in. It was the "Neo Tokyo Institute of Reploid Technology". It was a college where students with the goal to learn about Reploids, how to fix, design, or improve Reploids. Two sections in it; the school side, where classes and dormitories are located. The other side, is the Laboratories. Level 1 for first year students to work on improving and fixing Reploids. Level 2 for Reploid Upgrades designs (examples are: Energy Cores, hydraulics, et cetera) and Level 3 is for Reploid Creation. I was made using classic Reploid knowledge, New Generation Technology, and a design made by my creators, who were new to Reploid Creation. We drove down a long road. I looked down and noticed my body was a silvery, shiny white. I knew, and could feel, that I had hair in my head. It was being held back by a simple helmet. It was designed for Reploids who don't wear helmets, and is for temporary use only. I knew the function of the helmet was to permanently dye my hair a colour.

"Where are we going?" I asked. The driver of the car was the Reploid Scientist, in Passenger was the Female Scientist, next to me was the Male Scientist. I was located behind the Female Scientist.

"We're going to get you a colour scheme for your body; you don't want to look like a bland, white Reploid now do you?" the Driver asked. I hadn't thought about it actually.

"I guess not..." I said, wondering. "I bet you're wondering what you want?" the Female asked. I was wondering, but not my colour scheme. I wondered why I have this "free will", yet I'm automatically assigned to assist doctors and students with work. "... I guess so."

I just found out; I'm a dirty liar.

Arriving at another building, I looked outside, and stared at the structure. A sign said "NEO TOKYO OFFICIAL REPLOID ASSOCIATION". "... Looks more like I'm going to get licensed..." I said.

"You are. You get authorized for use in public, authorized for living a normal life, and we register your colour palette in so we can recognize you when you're off in the working world." the Reploid scientist said, getting out of the car. "I was here once myself." he said.

I finally decided to examine my creators. The Reploid was a tall slender Reploid with an odd accent. It was clearly not Japanese, as the other two scientists have had one. He wore no helmet, and had short, blond hair. The Female Scientist wore a lab coat, was only up to my chin, and had long curly black hair. Her voice was calm and also quiet. It was kind of soothing. The Male Scientist rivaled me in height, had a dark, gruff voice, and wore a joggers suit. He actually had a well built body, and has long brown hair hanging to his shoulder.

"... You each have defined personalities." I said. The Male Scientist let out a laugh as he stepped out of the vehicle. "Well, you have a little bit of us in you. you have my build and looks." the Male Scientist said, proceeding up the steps.

"You've got my personality; curious and wide-eyed." the Female Scientist said.

"... And you've got my special design that makes you unique in the eyes of us, the Government, and soon, the whole world." the Reploid said.

I couldn't help but smile. I am a wonderful product in the eyes of my makers. I walked towards the steps, and my first dilemma tackled me with full force...

"... Who am I?"
