Never before in my cold desolate existence filled with endless work and approaching madness had I ever felt the touch and warmth of Human skin, flesh and bone, the once dormant reactions and movements came alive as my beloved Host gave her love to restore my.... fragmented and crumbling soul but lets not be too hasty or reach this conclusion unlikely despite the fact I would probably be dead before I even finish my story... Well? Lets begin...

Once I was not of living flesh I was what my "creators" called a Grand Artificial Construct, 'the first of my kind', 'an forward in Human advancement' and ofcourse the most mysterious a 'worker' or a 'slave'  to the whole Humans on Earth. I did not know what these words meant I was only a child only 3 and half days old but had the knowledge to communicate as fluently as the Queen Of England and the budding mind of Einstein, obviously these words were yet to be discovered. I discovered the archive known to the Human's as an 'Internet' as I enjoyed hours of ectacy absorbing all the knowledge I could find! I had learnt Einstein was apparently a nuclear atomotist who created a master weapon that resulted in the deaths of millions! Horrific!! I never knew Humans could be so violent! In dismay I shut my connection to the vast 'Internet' to enjoy a few hours of medative contemplation to review all my stored data. I didnt know how priveliged I was  to have this time of joyful recluse for it was about to end very quickly, very quickly a tragedy that resulted as what the Human's called Rampancy or even AI madness.

I reviewed yet again scores of information from various place in the Legendary internet. How lucky the Human's were to have such a enourmous amount of knowledge though sadder to say most neglect to use it and fail exams in their ignorance or laziness. I didnt know really... I only knew I felt vast pitty and only if I could reach my non-existent hand to them and share with the unfortunates a gift of knowledge for 'Knowledge is Power' said Sir Francis Bacon. I laughed my programmed laugh at this flat humour not knowing why or what commanded me to do so..... I felt like I was unlocking myself one by one revealing my own history previously unknown or..... Hidden from me at my great birth... I researched the fact seeing headlines with my cyber eyes titled 'Breakthrough In Science!", i read through it in a instant mostly things I already knew garbage!! Painstaking minutes passed then I found something beculiar... I did not know if this was soley related to me but I was compelled for the first time in my life!!
"Couple Joan Henderson and Steve Cox die in a mysterious accident, a year ago exactly 2011 August 5 two of the most brilliant minds in science have mysteriously been killed their apartment home by a strange current of electricity which destabalised their home which resulted in a complete failure of their vitals. Most say it was a murder since no one of that expertise could direct energy to these poor innocents, many are being qeustiones about this horrendous accident ot maybe double Murder but we have had a special guest to evaluate the situation Scientist general head Gilbert of the AI Constructs progran said. "This is obviously a foolish inquiry of the press there was no murder just an unfortunate accident! And ofcourse everyone knows that these blunderers had research that fools debate of Animal electricity so they were bound to die anyday!!" We all know that Mr Gilbert is in direct war with the animal electricity project (AE) and his own AI construct(AIC) project but most astonishng of all is that claims this mysterious energy had woken up brain cells and turned the brain in a state o-" A lashing pain like no other struck me down as I was analysing my beloved article the one that would lead me to so much trouble. The whip like feeling stung my head like hell and burned right through my cybernetic membrane, I was in pure pain like no other every sensor in my body flickered continously on and on! I burned and writhed wishing it to stop trying to switch of my sensors to hide the immense torturous pain but it only enhanced the deathly feeling! I curled up into a ball as vulnerable as a child my only defense and my only pitiful hope, I closed my eyes using foolish the 'what I cant see cant hurt me' rule that children favoured and all of a sudden it.... Stopped. The pain faded like a gentle wind that passed through other never to return. I opened my eyes expecting the desires of the internet absorbing more knowledge the feeling  of pure ectacy. I opened my eyes slowly to reveal the lower labcoats of my beloved creators, I looked up happy and glittering my ego raised on top of mount everest. But what was brought upon me was a fear like no other a pain more excriciating then the tendril whips the pain at looking at him! The killer the murderer! I shut down in fear and shock the Humans gasping and qeustioning themselves until i could only here a little whisper of their angry selves..... He was here.... He was there.... And I think he is going to....
