P.I.X.A.L.

So much commotion.

So many happy tears of elation.

I wished I had capabilities to express my feelings more prominently but all I had was the ability to smile and move my optics according to my mood.

"How are you alive!?" Asked Cole. "I mean Jay said it once already but you fucking blew up! All we found was half of your face."

Zane's hand went immediately to his face, which predictably was visible to us as half tech and half human. "I...I don't know brothers. I am just as confused about this as you are...I have recollection of my death...but I also think I have vague recollections if when I was revived..."

All including me stared at the nindroid in shock.

"Did you...like...record it or is it just like a dream memory." Kai asked.

"It is very hazy." Zane replied, scratching his head. "I remember only four sentences...no visuals or anything...but I know exactly what she said to me."

"Wait!" Jay demanded, raising his hands. "It was a she?"

Zane nodded. "Very notably. Her words were: 'I'm going to bring you back...I will bring you back I promise...', 'You're going to be okay...everything is fine now...', 'No baby, I'm not your mother...but you are safe now...', and 'I love you brother...'"

Sensei Wu stroked his beard in contemplation. "Judging my the 'mother' comment it seems that you'd spoken to this woman..."

Zane hummed. "Well...I...don't recall that...too terribly clear...but I believe that, after I was rebooted I was in somewhat of a childlike state...and I referred to her as my mother, respectively...but...her last statement...brother..." And his voice trailed off.

Now it was my turn to speak.

"Perhaps...Professor Julien built more androids like you?"

He looked at me. "She was so human...I..." He was interrupted by his own thought with a violent shiver.

I went to his side, rubbing his back. "My you are very cold..."

Zane huffed a couple breaths, ones that were visible as vapor in the air. "It was very cold in the forest..."

Garmadon narrowed his eyes at Zane. "The forest?" He asked.

"Yes." Zane replied. "The forest where Professor Julien raised me. That is where I awoke."

"So the person who revived you must know you personally." Cole exclaimed.

"Or she could just be some psycho who took him and broke into his house to rebuild him for herself..." Kai disagreed dejectedly.

"That may be true..." Zane said softly, reaching below the lapel of his ninja suit. "But if it is true...where would the psycho have gotten this?"

He pulled out a long roll of paper and unfolded it on the table around which we were all sitting. It was a copy of his blueprints, but there were only arrows pointing to the different mechanisms...and the words were typed in...

"Braille." Zane stated. "It just isn't that easy to get a copy of my blue prints written in Braille solely for resurrecting me. If this woman was blind then she had to have taken all of the blueprints in Julien's study and asked for a specific one...or...this woman could know Julien and I personally...and he could have given her the copy in a format readable to her..."

Jay rubbed his chin. "That does make some sort of sense..." He began. "Because I've never met any resident of NinjaGo City who was blind..."

The rest of the people in the room agreed with Jay's second statement.

"Me neither." I also agreed. "And I am programmed to know all who live within the city limits..."

"Then..." Wu stated. "Maybe she isn't a resident...or if she is she must be recent."

I nodded. "It does take quite some time to add new residents into the registry."

Zane just looked down at the Braille blueprints with a strange look in his eyes.

"I love you brother..." He muttered. "If it turns out this woman is not just a freak...I...I am worried about what she truly is...it seems at the moment that I really have no idea who I am...despite all this time that I've been alive..."

Kai placed an arm around Zane's shoulders. "Whoever she is...we'll all help you find her. And you will figure out what all this means."

Zane smiled. "Thank you...all of you."

"You don't have to thank us." Lloyd said graciously. "It's the least we could do for what you did for us...and the world..."
