Recharge 03: Rebirthing

Ba-thump....ba-thump....ba-thump....

 

 

What was that? What was I hearing? That noise...it was loud in my ears. Like a pulse. Yeah...exactly like a pulse.

 

Then I heard squishy noises too. Like what the Humans call a...a...water balloon. The sound swished back and forth, and then the sound of dripping followed. Then a REALLY big squishy noise and then--

 

"Unit 03? Open your eyes...open them for Daddy..."

 

Daddy? Isn't that the word the Humans use to show affection towards a male adult? But I didn't see how this was possible. I was an Upload, and Uploads don't have "daddies". We have Humans who build us. Or at least...thats what my thinking chip says. It could be wrong...no wait. No it can't. The chip says that the Humans are never wrong.

 

"Unit 03..."

 

The Human was speaking...to me, right? Yes, it's me. The chip says so. My name is Unit 03. Therefore he's talking to me.

 

My eyes open, and I can see a brand new world laid out before me. It's not like the one I recently awoke in. That world was full of 1's and 0's. No. This world was much more colurful...more full of life. I look around, and soon I spot the Human that wants me to call him "Daddy". To please the Human, I smile and say "Daddy!" The Human smiles back at me, and I take in all of his features. His lower chin donned neatly cut stubble, and he smelled of a thing Humans call "shaving cream". His eyes were a bright clover green, and rectangular black-framed glasses hung low on his nose. He wore a bright white lab coat which was stained red at the bottom. In his hands was a bloody scalpel that seemed to slowly be slipping out of his hands. "Oh Unit 03...you're awake! I knew it would work!" he shouts jubiently. I stay seated, looking at the floor. Smears of blood were on the floor...on the walls...and pretty much everywhere else. I look at the floor around my feet, and it's stained the worst. On my own chest is blood, spread thick and dripping inbetween my legs. "What is this?" I ask Daddy. His smiles gets bigger. "It's a miracle, Unit 03. It's a miracle. Here, let me clean you up."

 

Daddy pulls out a white cloth from his pocket and begins to wipe me clean of blood. I stare blanky at him as he lifts my legs and cleans the blood out from under me. Soon I am no longer drentched, but merely covered in blood smears. "Don't worry, Unit 03," Daddy says, helping me stand up, "It will go away eventually."

 

********************************************************************************************************************

 

My new legs are hard to get used to. We walk up and down monochrome-coloured walls, and all the other Humans stare at me in confusion.

 

"The Upload! She's awake!"

"H-How?! Her Main Console doesn't come in till next week!"

"Dr. Wells! She's awake! How'd you do it??"

"Woah...what's all over her body?"

 

I don't look at them, only grabbing onto Daddy's hand as we walked farther. Soon, Daddy takes a turn and bumps into a creepy looking Human. He's taller than Daddy, and his smile is a far cry from trustworthy. "Was it Lawnie?" he asks, and Daddy nods. I look at Daddy, who smiles reassuringly at me.

 

As if I would be worried. I'm an Upload, I feel nothing.

 

"Name her yet?" Creepy Human asks. Daddy nods. "Her name shall be Lacey."

 

"Lacey Wells?" Creepy Human adds. "It's got a nice ring."
