Yes! System upload is complete. Yes! Yes! Yes! I finally did it! "Yes please." Initiating Schark... Initiate complete. Hello, my name is Schark.

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet

And so are you

Okay. Donovan is meant to be the more "human" one. Schark is the more poetic kind, to be honest, that's pretty much all he is. I admit, I just made Schark to make poems for me. Yes, he can make sweet loving poems. And no, although I'm single, I didn't make them to love me.

"Okay good, initiate Donovan." Initiating Donovan... Initiate complete. Hello, my name is Donovan. Nice, it works out fine. "Do you feel anything different?" Certainly, my head feels heavier. Hmm, his head feels heavier, could it be Schark? But how can Schark have mass? When it's just a programme?

But those questions aren't important. I have to carry out checks on Donovan, even now when Schark is in there, I prefer to treat them as a single entity, with the name of Donovan. My work here isn't done. Remember my fundings? Yeah, they didn't hire me to just make a sentient robot, I still have to write research papers on my findings. Well, other people would want all this information for a robot of their own. Great.

"Are you okay? Can you move your joints smoothly? Do you have emotions?" I'm kind of frustrated because I've been stuck here for almost an entire day. Shit. I just realised I have not let him out of the strapped chair. "Oops, heh sorry." Well at least he answered my question perfectly. I unbuckled all the straps and let him out. He jumped out, stretched a little, moving his joints around. Oh right, he hadn't been able to move much. Oops. "Why do you need to stretch? Aren't you a robot?" I am, I know I am, but I can still feel my body, as if I'm human. Damn that's something I didn't expect. I have to write this down, this is important knowledge!


"He can feel. 'I can [feel my body], as if I'm human' but he knows he is a robot. His joints are well lubricated but he still needs to stretch like humans would as if he has been sitting down the whole day. I may have added parts of codes that made him feel the same way as humans, maybe I'll be able to find which part of it and potentially remove it when mass producing him. Schark was a success. More additional programmes could be made to improve the OS by uploading it into the same robot."
