First week of activation

//MMX012//
It has been two days since we've opened the capsule and activated the reploid inside. As much admiration I used to have for Dr. Light's work, it is nothing compared to the wonders I have witness these last 48 hours.
My first observations about the reploid proved to be completely false. I had believe the reploid to be a little "slow-minded", due to his early conception. But his lack of reaction was, in fact, cause by great confusion and, he told me himself, because he felt very intimidated... Waking after so long to find complete strangers staring at you like some kind of weird animal must have been quite a shock.
Through long and hard negotiations, I have convinced AC-38 not to pull my brains out to find out what had been wrong with me.
Unfortunately, her first impressions proved to be right. By activating the "waking" process, I accidentally caused a short-circuit in a very small part of the reploid's "brain" (note to self : make a deeper study of the neural system). As an effect, some of the information was misdirected and is now either lost in the main frame or has been deleted permanently.
General observations :
I know I should've made this sooner, but that little wonder required a lot more attention than I had planned (note to self : ask Sigma to get me a longer vacation).
The reploid grew very insistent on getting a name. So I gathered Dr. Light's notes we found near the capsule and a copy of the information available inside the very capsule. We know Dr. Light refered to him as Mega Man X, but it sounded more like a designation, the way he should be presented to the general public. The reploid took a moment to study the notes and decided of his own name.
To my surprise, he decided to simply be called... X.
When X got out of the capsule and took his first steps, I noticed he was a little unstable on his legs, as if unused to his own body. By now he seems to have gotten the hang of it. Yet it is very strange. Any other reploid is programmed with the necessary interface to use it's body perfectly and immediatly after activation. X almost act as if he needs to learn and master it. He tripped many times yesterday but none today. I have also observed that he his working on his dexterity by carefully manipulating objects. To juggle seems to best way he found to improve himself... at the expense of my delicate equipment that is... ( note to self : buy X some toys so he will leave mines alone )
I have also began to observe X's life cycles :
- X needs about 6 hours of regeneration per day inside a normal capsule. But the schematics suggest he does not necessarily needs to do so. He could apparently be satisfied with "normal" sleep cycles of 8 to 10 hours outside of a capsule. That alone makes him an extremly independant creature, unlike most other reploids. Not to depend on any other machine to survive is a huge advantage.
- Like some of the most recent reploids, X can (I should say "must", since we haven't found any other technology adapted to him, yet) assimilate nutrients. Durings his "meals" (the few I have seen yet), he absorbs amino acids and complexe proteins, probably for their energetic values, basic minerals (iron and copper, mostly, but also a vast variety of others) and a large quatity of water. It is no surprise to me, water is made of oxygen and hydrogen, the easiest comburant and combustible to find in the entire universe.
There is another, and mostly fascinating, element of X's anatomy. The armor, wich I had first mistaken as an exoskeleton, is removable. I am very intrigued to why Dr. Light decided of this. Without the blue armor, X *cannot* be told from any other human. That is to say X looks exactly like a normal young human male. Why did Dr. Light build something that would disapear in any crowd, something that *looks* human, but is not?.. What purpose does that serve? This raises other questions : If X can be rid of his armor and weapon, does it mean he trully is a combat machine? And if the answer is still yes, what consequences will his appearance bring? I can easely imagine this fighting-machine, this -predator- lurking among humans like a wolf disguised as a sheep. There are many reasons why reploids are built *not* to look like humans, that is one of them.
As X is now ending his second day with us, I have decided to give him what he needs to adapt to our time, to our world : informations, clothes, a personnal space, some learning tools (toys and books, if you prefer)... But I have also decided that he would remain confined to the parts of the laboratory he has already visited. He will have no contacts with people other than the members of the research team and people to who I will give autorisations. This will remain until I have decided that X is entirely stable and capable of independant social interactions. Even if X has shown no signs of agressivity whatsoever, this is a chance I will not take. AC-38 will probably object, she has no desire to see him as a threat, but I will decide what is best. I am also beginning to suspect she sees him as a chance for publicity or propaganda. AC-38 is the only reploid X has contacts with, but if she plans to feed him to the journalists, I will have to throw her out of the project.
My early conclusions are that X will mostly require a stable environment for the time beeing. The more reason not to expose him to the media, not to mention that privacy will keep him from extremist groups, humans or Mavericks.
I will continue my observations daily and remain full time at the laboratory until I feel that X can be safely left alone.
