A/N: I'm changing the beginning plot for Jack around slightly so it's different and makes more sense
Darkness.
That was the first thing I saw as my optical units whirred back to life, allowing me to see again.
Talking.
I could hear a Danish man and woman converse as my audio processor came back online, soft ringing audible like background noise for a moment before it faded away.
Emotions.
I felt them for a brief moment before my Thirium pump restarted, sending Thirium, or "blue blood" as humans called it, through my body and erasing any thought of "feelings".
"I'm looking for an android, one that can do housework, cook, that kind of thing."
I opened my eyes when I heard two pairs of footsteps approach me, the voices sounding like the ones I had heard earlier.
The man with the bald head I recognized instantly as Brian Rogers, age thirty, occupation android salesman.
Upon further analyzation, I gleaned that the woman's name was Signe Hansen, age twenty-three, origin Denmark, sign Aries, hair color dark brown, eye color...
No matter how long I looked at her eyes, I couldn't determine the exact shade of brown they were as light sparkled inside of them.
"I've never seen an AX400 model that looks like a man." Signe remarked as she walked around me, studying me while I stood still like a statue.
"I can assure you, they're just as good, if not better, than the female AX models." Brian assured Signe.
I attempted to flash her a smile as she paused and looked me in the eyes, hoping it would pass as friendly.
"Does it have a name?" Signe questioned Brian, looking away from me to turn her attention to the salesman.
"Nope, I usually leave that up to the customer, even when they're used androids." Brian stated.
Signe glanced back at me with a thoughtful expression, her gaze betraying her uncertainty as she considered her options.
"Do you know why you were sold back to Cyberlife?" Signs questioned Brian.
"The people had him for years in a YK500 model before they requested that its memory was moved into a AX400. They seemed really upset when they brought him in too, like they didn't really want to give him up." Brian supplied.
Signe was silent as she soaked in the new information, the woman chewing on her lower lip thoughtfully before she spoke up.
"How much is it?" Signe asked Brian, her gaze fixated on me.
"Well, since it's a used android like I said, I'll lower the price to nine-hundred." Brian offered.
Signe wordlessly dug through her bag and handed Brian the requested amount, earning a grin from the salesman.
"C'mon you, follow her." Brian directed me gruffly.
I stepped off of the display pedestal I was standing on and followed Signe to her car, pausing outside of the vehicle as she climbed in.
The sky was a light gray shade with dark clouds that blocked the sun rumbling threateningly overhead, signaling that rain was soon to come.
"You can sit in the passenger seat." She told me gently, reaching over and opening the door for me.
I nodded and did as she wanted, buckling up in the seat next to her before she started the car and began driving.
"We're going to the airport to return to Brighton, that's where I live." Signe added as I watched the world whiz by in a blur of colors, rain beginning to drizzle from the sky.
