((A/n: No drawing today sorry lmao plz start the music to get a vibe on today's log ^^)

' hello, my name is T4-M1-AA-100, or Tami, today I'm on a great adventure '

Tamora arrived on land and began walking. Determined to get to this location.

The first time They meet Dr. Julian, he had told them that they both built her in a laboratory, with Cyrus borg. but all the research, prototypes and designs had been in a place unknown to our adventures but familiar at the same time.

 an abandoned village.

Abandoned for sure because upon arrival Tamora sensed and scanned no life forms, probably because of one of Lord Garmadons first attacks, however the houses seemed perfectly fine, just empty.

' The people here are all probably in Ninjago city now '

they stopped at a pair of houses that had the mailboxes of the last names 'Julian' and 'borg'. Tamora walked inside the house of the left before entering the one of the right and noticed they had some similar objects in the house. Toys made out of straws or similar fabric etc.

they walked out the back door and noticed a path to a single shed the houses shared because it was in the middle between the gate that separated their houses. they walked too it and looked around to find it a normal tool shed.

Tamora used their robotic skills to scan the room and they found a secret lever.

'Wonder where this leads too'

they smiled softly and did a x- ray scan to see that they were standing on a elevator platform, the dust and wood just hid the lining of it.

Considering how old it probably was, Tamora sat down before pulling it and just as they thought, they suddenly dropped and had a couple rough crashes before getting to the bottom floor, too a laboratory

If they were human, they would have taken a deep breath before walking in any further and started looking at the near by wall with a thinking board which had a bunch of sketches and sticky notes in two different hand writings all over a building plan....a building plan of Tamora.

It felt weird seeing their whole body placed down before themself. Only it didn't look like themself, even though they both had the same name.

' T4-M1-AA-100 project tamora '

Project tamora was written I'm Dr. Julian's writing, Tamora knew because they had seen the writing before.

T4-M1 was smiling, they were intended to smile in the drawings before current self.

In the drawing notes she was intended to be, almost human like them. She was supposed to smile and giggle even if she didn't know what it ment to giggle but it was, in the end, to laugh at the jokes the two made. She was supposed to feel sad when they felt sad and happy when they felt happy, she was supposed to be support for them and constantly- and carefully, scan their bodies to sense their emotions to copy them.

((a/n: flash back!))

"Oh! Remember when Zane couldn't copy our emotions??" Kai laughed as he ate a piece of chicken, making Zane groan and hide in his hands "Oh don't be like that-! I'm just Trying to comfort Tami!"

"I don't need comfort; I just want to better comprehend why did I make such a mistake that made you uncomfortable" Tamora explained themselves

"And you're upset, aren't you?" Kai asked

"I'm not, I'm a mechanical engineered modified acting human, I cannot 'feel' upset" Tamora made themselves clear with this, they couldn't understand why it didn't manifest into the ninja's brain

"Oh...well-! Then you probably just won't understand then Tami" kai said, playfully

Tamora frowned "why not?"

Her frowning made Kai smile a bit, because it proved he was right that she was feeling upset, Kai liked being right

"Because! You don't have a emotion switch like how Zane does, and you can't read emotions, and you can't feel emotions either! Tami is just a stick up- emotionless- heartless robot"

"Heyy-! Isn't that a little rude!" Jay defended Tami from kai's teasing

"I can read emotions!" Tamora glitched a little before standing up and scanned Kai "look, see! Your serotonin levels are currently high, which correlates to feeling happy, Kai you are happy right now"

"WOAHH ME ME- ME NEXT!" Jay jumped up from his seat like a dog before getting pulled back down by nya, who got annoyed by the sudden movement but Laughed at him in the end

' Actually, that day I didn't even know I could do that....I just didn't want them to think I was heartless, I wasn't heartless, I had a power source. Emotions don't come from the heart they come from the frontal lobe of the brain... that idiot. '

Tamora continued to walk around and found spare parts of their older model, although the parts were here for centuries, they were in perfect condition. they held the peace that was supposed to be their face, so round and innocent. T4-M1's face was Rosey and soft to the touch and her cheeks already looked like they hurt from smiling and giggling too much, while Tamora's face was rough- broken and faded from being in the sun too long. Tamora's face was plastic and barely recovered from a mannequin. Though she had broken it in a battle with Garmadon.

Both Zane and Cyrus borg offered to change it, but Tamora asked to keep the texture and the broken part, to remind everyone she was still a robot no matter what she did and what she was experiencing.

Curiously, she started to look around for the rest of T4's parts and slowly built her as she built echo, only this time they didn't plan on giving her life. To Tamora, whatever happy and emotional robot she once was, it was now dead and, in her place, stood Tamora.
