Lights, flashes, and people were crammed into the display area. Berkly stood staring out at his audience with an eerie calmness and detatchment. Mr. Kaisha stood by on the platform looking out, as well as sneaking glances at the covered cell.
"The others' failed, but this one won't I assure you Mr. Kaisha. No, X-6206 is the first one to be created in this- well, putting it bluntly; it's a one of a kind. We've tried everything from A-115; which I know, caused nothing but disaster and the greatest disappointment to our name, but now- we've come with a new solution. We've selected the William's to be the, shall we say 'family' of X-6206. They will be in charge of its' welfare and security- until we need use of it. But until then, it will live among us humans. I will speak to you later about the details- but first, a preview."
'I cannot see, but I can feel. The bright light that flashes on my body sends courses of light through it, I want to move, but I am asleep. Who disturbs me? I have been asleep for many days and nights, they think I don't know anything. But I know everything, I am different from A-115, and all the other beings created. I feel a deep sensation of...loathing? Loathing for the humans that created me, I do not know of their purpose for me, but I will not follow their orders. No, I follow my own. For I am X-6206, I am the beginning of the next generation of those ready to take control for those who don’t deserve it. I know, I believe that…’
“I must say Dr. Berkly; you have created a fine Cybrycn. I can just tell that she’s special. She’ll do great things,” Kaisha circled X-6206 who lay asleep in it's cell. How can he refer to Cybrycn’s as a gender- they’re nothing but…
“I will be leaving soon for New York, and I expect to see her put into the care of those William people immediately, I require a constant update on how she is doing, and the progress.” But as he turned to leave, Kaisha turned back once more, “Tell me, what will her name be?” Berkly stared, and searched his mind for a name. “Hmm, I can see you haven’t thought of that have you? Well in that case, her name for this life will be, Emily.” Closing the silver doors, Berkly only stared at X-6206 as if seeing her for the first time.
“Emily,” he whispered. But when he did, he felt himself go weak. Shoving away the feeling, he brusquely gathered his things and left without another word, leaving her alone in the dark.
‘Emily…X-6206…Emily…Emily…Emily Williams.’
“Alright, reel her in boys. Hey! Careful will you?” Berkly stood near the doors as he watched the men carry X-6206 to the Processor. This was it, he thought; the last time he’d see her until they called upon her for her duty. Dr. Hanslick typed in the security and memory capacity, and with one tap of the key, X-6206’s body gave a violent jerk, and her head moved in an unnatural and sickening way.
“What the hell’s happening? ” Berkly strode over quickly and stared at the screen.
“Sir, it appears that her mind is- trying to resist the whole Processor. She is- well, indeed defying the machine…” They all stood in amazement at their own creation, as well as in horror.
“Force it on her mind, we’re on a tight schedule, and she has to be shipped off in four hours. Get it done now, I don’t care what you have to do- just do it.” And without saying another word, Berkly left.
“Alright, you heard him- let’s get this done.” Turning back to work, they all tried their hardest to make X-6206 forget her very self.
‘No! No! No! Leave me alone! I don’t want to forget, please! It hurts, please, please, please…’ Darkness.
GOOD LUCK!
