YEAR: 2### ERROR — DIGITS AFTER POSITION 3 CANNOT BE DISPLAYED.
The night in Waste Disposal Zone 7 was silent.
Red acid rain tapped against the windows of the old workshop, and in the massive scrap heaps outside, rusted metals clattered in the wind, creating a low hum.
Inside, beneath a dim lamp, an android lay upon a bed.
The broken exterior had been replaced with new parts; the severed cables, damaged joints, and the newly connected cooling system were all functioning normally.
-SYSTEM CHECK -CORE : STABLE -COOLANT SYSTEM : NORMAL -OPTICAL SENSOR : NORMAL -COMBAT SYSTEM : NORMAL -MEMORY : 88% RECOVERED
......
-ALL SYSTEMS OPERATIONAL
A moment of silence passed.
And then,
-POWER ON
Purple eyes slowly opened from beneath long black hair. Pupils, wavering like spreading ripples, focused after several blinks.
The first thing recognized was an unfamiliar ceiling. The second was her own body. The third was...
The trace of a person remaining in the room.
The machine's gaze slowly scanned the surroundings.
The smell of scrap metal. The scent of oil. Old tools. Her repaired body. And the lingering warmth nearby.
-HUMAN DETECTED -IDENTIFICATION : UNKNOWN -THREAT LEVEL : 0
She had been discarded.
Yet now, she was perfectly repaired. Someone had fixed her.
As that fact registered, a minute change occurred deep within her chest.
-UNKNOWN RESPONSE DETECTED -CORE TEMPERATURE : +0.8°C
Analyzing cause... Failed. Retrying... Failed.
The android tilted her head slightly and looked at the human in the room.
The purple eyes remained fixed.
-PRIMARY DIRECTIVE -PROTECT DESIGNATED MASTER
There is no Master. That fact was displeasing.
-MASTER IDENTIFICATION -SEARCHING...... -MASTER : DETECTED
The android blinked without expression.
The human who fixed her. The human who did not discard her.
The moment she looked upon that being, an unknown sense of stability washed over her.
...Master.
With that single word, the core temperature rose slightly once more.
-UNKNOWN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE
...Is it an error?
Her voice was calm. However, her gaze did not waver from the human.
And very quietly, she accepted a new command.
-Never let her go ... YES
