I slowly started to wake up from what felt like a really, really, really long sleep. When I opened my eyes, I've found myself to be in a room of some kind, a dark room, with the only light source being a tube like container that's opened up, from where I was lying down in a horizontal position.

"Where... am I"

I was still groggy, so I slowly started to get out of the tube, Sitting up right.
Once I felt stable enough, I looked down to find that I'm wearing a white shirt, black pants and shoes, and I was wearing a sort of black, synthetic fabric bracelet on both my right and left wrists. The Material of the Shirt, pants and bracelet feels so soft and natural, but I don't recognize it.
I tried to take the bracelet off, but couldn't. I tried to do the other but met the same result. it's almost like it's refusing to come off, So I gave up on it, and my eyes started to wandered the room. From what I could tell from the Dim lighting, it appeared to be a storage room of some kind. Was I kept in here? my eyes landed on the display screens that're attached to the tube I was in

[Cryo Stasis pod no: 001]
[Name: M]
[Time in pod: 1000 years. Current year: 3025]
...
"Eh...?"
1000 years? 3025?
That can't be right. the year is 2025.

???: Good morning

I jumped at the synthetic version of my voice and quickly searched the dim lightened room to find the source.

???: Ah, sorry for startling you.

A figure then appeared in front of me, out of thin air. From which I can see perfectly, despite the darkness.
It was a brown haired man with sidebands going to the right, in a cybernetic jump suit. But what really got me was the face.
it's My face! Well, apart from the eyes. mine are brown, but this guy's eyes glow blue.
I could only stare at him, as he took a look at me and frowned.

???: You're probably confused about your current situation, as your memory is still returning to you after a thousand years in Stasis.

Oh yeah, I am BEYOND confused.

???: Do you remember your name at least?

I hesitantly replied as the name slowly came back to me.

Me: M...

The Man smiled

???: Well, that's a good sign. It means your memory will return in time.

Me: and you are? Also, Why do you look just like me?

???: Ah, Sorry. I'm M.S.A.I.
Mental Self Artificial Intelligence.
But please, Call me SAI. But I'm not any normal AI.

Me: Wait what?

"SAI" takes a step forward towards me. And looks at me in the eyes.

SAI: I'm you, a AI version of you.

SAI then touches the right side of his head in a specific spot, behind his ear.

SAI: try feeling around here.

I then did as he instructed, and feel around behind my right ear, my fingers ran over a peculiar bump that I know wasn't there before.

Me: is this... A scar?

SAI: you're able to see me because of the microchip implant the Government put in you, along with the vast knowledge of the human race.

Well, that answers my questions. But that just brings up more.

Me: okay, that explains how you appeared so suddenly. And why you don't appeared to be affected by the darkness of this room. But Why would the Government do that? Why put me in that tube? In fact, Where are they?
