The box left by the delivery person was far more inorganic than imagined. A hard outer shell of an indeterminate material, neither white nor black. No cushioning material is visible, and only the model number and precautions are printed coldly on the outside.

The cocoon-like material slowly unfurls, and the "unit" inside comes to life. A faint light runs across the body surface, body temperature is generated, and the ear-like external sensory organs glow slightly.
