Weight of the World

My mind was blank. My thought processors hadn't been programmed yet and my artificial memories were still being uploaded. My eyesight has also yet to be completely uploaded so I sat and waited while listening to others in the room.

The other androids in the room were communicating about some type of F Prototype. 'Is that me?' with that thought I knew my thought processors were officially online. A clicking sound started ringing in my metal skill and my mind started getting flashes of images I've never seen before. My eyelids started twitching and finally were able to open up completely.

At first my vision was blurry but as it adjusted I noticed a few male androids at some computers, tapping away on the keyboards. The male androids wore black suits with the white thread accentuating their structures. They had white hair and fairly pale skin but I could not see their eyes due to their matching visors. In fact, I was wearing a similar visor as well. I was sitting on an incline bed with wires attached my arms, legs, and head. I shift my body to a more comfortable position as the rooms only doors open and a tall figure walks through.

She was dressed in an exquisite, all white uniform decorated in what I could guess to be gold outside of the monochrome bunker. She was tall with slender legs and a curvy body. Her bright eyes were a gray in color and her skin was a pale white that reminded me of something that has not been put into my artificial memories yet.

She walk to my side and open her lips to speak. Her silky voice made her way to my ear "Hello 5F. You may be confused right now but once your artificial memories have finished installation I will explain everything". We then waited in silence as flashes of images continue to flood into my mind. They were mostly of human life and how it is my purpose to protect their species. It was what I was programmed to do.

"Now 5F, you are currently residing in the YoRHa bunker. I am the commander of the space station." She began stating the necessary information while I stored it safely in my memory chips. "You are apart of a new type of android called Finder or 'F Units' for short. Your purpose is to locate and destroy rogue units on the planet called Earth. All other F Units have been sent down to Earth already but we had trouble programming your antivirus hardware. You should be fine now so you'll be sent out to these coordinates immediately." Suddenly a box shaped robot with exo-skeleton arms clicked on and moved to hover about a foot and a half off my shoulder. It projected the map of my assigned area with a blinking dot on the location where I am to be dropped off. It seems to be located near an android camp of sorts. "There are currently two other units in your assigned area as well, 2B and 9S. They are on missions of their own so just ignore them and continue on with your work".

She then looked me dead in the eye, authority flooding her voice and posture. "Do not fail me 5F. I am trusting you with a special mission that only you can accomplish. Good luck." She placed her hand over the left side of her chest "For the glory of mankind" I copied her actions, quickly remembering this as our salute.

I was ushered out of the room by one of the male units I had seen before. He brought me over to another female unit. She was slightly shorter than myself with a skin tight suit that accentuates her curves perfectly. Just like the Commander, she had crystal grey eyes and porcelain skin. Instead of wearing a visor over her eyes like the male units and myself, she wore a long mask to cover her mouth. As I neared her location I noticed she was standing by a few large black devices with nothing but a few buttons and a small screen placed on the front.

"Hello 5F! I am 12O, your personal operator for this mission. I will try my best to help you as much a I can!" and with that the black device in front of me opened up and I stepped inside. As the doors closed, 120 gave me a huge smile and a strong salute "For the glory of mankind".

I don't know how to explain the feeling of forming a physical body. In the bunker you feel light on your feet, almost dreamlike. Then you just suddenly feel heavy, as if the weight of the world comes crashing down on your shoulders. Its even worse when its your first time ever using the fast travel. In short, it sucks.

The doors, of what I now know is called an access point, open up and I am able to step outside into the new, colorful terrain. The bunker is so monochrome and dull but down here nothing is the same exact color or shade. There must be millions of hues just in the scene before me. I would have thought it beautiful and stopped to look longer if it hadn't been for the hostile machine lifeforms jolting across the field, towards my location.
