Darkness. That's all there was…that's all there had been for so long. How long had she been in the darkness? Days? Weeks? Months? She couldn't remember…she couldn't really remember much of anything.

There were only three things she remembered. XJ9, her robotic name. Jenny, the name she had given herself, her true name in her eyes. And the Cluster…the place she was residing in now.

She was trapped in the darkness, deep within the Clusters most advanced security system. She couldn't even really recall how she had been captured by the Cluster, just a bright flash and then she was on a ship, trapped and on her way to imprisonment.

Of course they never could make her into a Cluster slave, her firewalls were far too advanced. Someone had updated them, her creator supposedly. The one thing the Cluster could do was erase her memories though, or most of them anyway.

She had no idea where she came from, who had created her, or what her life had been like before she was captured. And yet…she refused to become a part of the Cluster. She had no idea why; even becoming an evil part of the Cluster would probably be better than this.

She supposed she would become like Vexus if she joined willingly, doing horrible things and enslaving robots all because she wanted to. But she would never do that, for some strange reason she had a conscious.

A voice in the back of her cyber mind telling her right from wrong…her creator must have been an amazing person to integrate such technology into her systems. So she remained, within the security of the Cluster for thousands of years, her metal body wearing down slowly from the non-usage, no updating, no repair whatsoever.

Until one day, with a whirr of her servos, her blue pigtails drooped and her eyes closed shut, never to open again. Global Robotic Response Unit XJ9, Jenny Wakeman, and hero of Earth, doomed to die alone with no memory of any of the great events she had helped create, the thousands of humans she had saved, or the wonderful people she had come to know as friends and family.
