Where...... am I? I can't quite remember. Who am I? That's gone, too.
I... want to panic. I feel I need to. But I can't.
RECEPTORS INITIALIZING...
I wonder what that means... Funny how I don't know what's going on in my mind. Do I have a mind? Am I dead? Am I alive? I am finding it rather frustrating that I can't find the answers to my mind questions.
INITIALIZATION SUCCESS
TOUCH ACTIVATING...
ACTIVATION COMPLETE
I feel... hot... but also cold. The air around me is hot, but the...... thing I was on was cold. How do I know what these are? Why? Who am I? I want to feel angry. What's this emotion like? WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER ANYTHING?
OVERHEATING DETECTED
INTERNAL FAN TURNED ON.

Well...... my first emotion faded as quickly as it had come. Oh well.... I hope I have plenty more. I wonder if they all feel like that.
SMELL ACTIVATING...
ACTIVATION COMPLETE
The air.... what an unusual smell.... It tickles my memories, but I can't seem to remember.
TASTE ACTIVATING...
ACTIVATION COMPLETE
Metal. How do I know this taste? I don't know... but metal comes to mind.
HEARING ACTIVATING...
ACTIVATION COMPLETE
"-please you have to wait. Not all the data has been transferred and she would have to be reintroduced to everything"
Apparently, I am a female. Good to know.
"Fine. I am just excited for this. What we could do with this if it works..."
What a pleasant voice. I hope I meet her soon.
"I am just as excited as you but be patient."
They sound like they are in another room. They both sound familiar.
SIGHT ACTIVATING
ACTIVATION COMPLETE
I... still can't see. Well... looks like I'm blind. Wait.... There we go. My eyelids were in the way. I am staring at a white ceiling. How interesting.... There are wires and beep-boops to my sides. Let's see what I look like... And I can't move. Welp... back to my soul crushing questions for my self.
Everything just seems so familiar. It makes me so mad that I can't remember... but at the same time I feel content... relaxed, because of it.
   I can hear the people talking again.
   "Will she remember her past life?" asks the female.
   "She will. Don't  worry Donna."
The female's name is Donna. Taking note of that. Apparently, I also have a past life and I should remember it. But alas, 'tis not so.
   Computers. That's what's all around me. But let's just keep calling beep-boops. Yeah, beep-boops are so much cooler sounding than computers.
LIMB MOVEMENT ACTIVATING...
   Oh boy! Then I can move!
ACTIVATION COMPLETE
  Let's see what I look like.

   My hand.... My leg.... I'm not supposed to be like this..... I'm supposed to be human....
   Great. Just great... I'm a beep-boop.
   Let's just examine my body a little closer.
My body is made of... some white material..... plastic, comes to mind, but what is that? I look over at a nearby computer screen. My reflection... I am pretty... I think. I move my hand over my facial features. My eyes are green, seemingly unnaturally green, but they had always been like this. How... do I know this? I lean closer to the reflection. But my eyes are unnatural. I can see the wires and cameras in them. I try to lean closer, but the wires attached to me tug and pull at me until I lean back down.
I look at the back side of my arm.
It says JENN-0001. I guess this is my name. Kinda a mouth full though. I'll just be Jenn. That's a pretty name.

INDUCING SHUT DOWN
What? Why is it doing this? Why do I have no control? Why? Why....? Why........?
