Awakening, The Birth of MK-II

by Calash

 

It happened so fast, at least to him. One moment he did not exist, and the next he lay there, eyes staring at the piercing lights above him. A moment later thought filled his mind, downloaded from the nearby computer. Countless memories flooded his being, and in but a few moments he was not only alive, but aware of himself.

So this is what it is like to be alive? He smiled slightly, or would have if he had lips.

“Excellent! The upload went flawlessly.”

The voice spoke from a nearby computer. Slowly he turned to see the twisted figure who stood at the console. Instantly one word flooded his mind as he looked at this frail creature…

“Master..”

The man turned and walked over to the table, his eyes burning with a mix of desire and insanity, his gaze fixed upon the new life that lay upon the table.

“Yes, I am your master. Who am I?”

“ID: Robert Veil. Alias: Dark Veil. Access level: Administrator”

“Good, very very good. And who are you?”

For a moment there was silence, only the soft breath of the man above him filled the quiet void. Then he spoke, the memories that he did not have moments ago now providing him with an answer to the otherwise simple question.

“I am Calash.”

Only a sadistic laughter filled the lab, much to the confusion of the creature that lay upon the table.
