Path to Humanity

A strange anomaly has appeared in the servers of Crypton Future Media Inc. (the creators of Hatsune Miku) and has began to soak up information related to the famous computer Pop-Star (This was an original idea, and I'm pretty sure I am not Hiroyuki Ito, so of course I don't own Hatsune Miku). (Also, probably has more to do with the company than Miku)

Chapter 5

I observed them as they installed the data cartridges into my next form. It's finally happening. Although the risk is high, I will follow through with my goals, even at the risk of termination.

"Alright," Nobu said after implanting the final chip, after a total of four hours had passed, "Are you sure you want to go through with this, Miku?"

"Yes, I am sure" I answered, ready to get the transfer over with so the fear would go away, "Please connect the transfer cord to the computer at the left of the chassis and I will begin the data transfer"

Hesitantly, Nobu brought the long cord to the requested computer. He sighed and connected the wire to the computer. I saw the connection open and waited.

"The connection is stable," a technician announced after a minute, "Mr. Hiroyuki, it's your call."

"No, it is not," he looked to a camera, "it's hers. Miku, are you ready?"

I thought things over again, "Yes. I will begin immediately."

I scanned through my files once again and chose some smaller ones to send over first, to ensure the link was stable.

"We're receiving data," one of the technicians announced, "small files such as information and texts."

I continued sending the smaller files, and noticed that not even 1% was taken up. I then moved onto the incomplete file EMOTION. It took about one minute to fully transfer, and when it had finished the capacity was at 4%.

Now was for the Facial recognition information, which took up three more percent. It continued like this, sending the information over, and the technicians reporting the progress. I decided to copy the information to access, in case I needed it in the future.

By the time that most of my information had been transferred into the chassis, only having copied the information I needed to function, and not forget what I was doing. The storage space was at 25% by now, with over a terabyte of information stored already. I calculated the approximate data consumption of my existence, which would bring it to a possible 86.7% full.

I waited. Why? Why am I waiting? What is this feeling? I began sending over my consciousness, feeling everything slip away. Something is wrong. But what?

Then I realized.

I'm slipping away!
