Chapter 1: A Bug in the System

Part 1.

-------------------------------------------------------

Human Life…It is a puzzle for me to unlock by myself. I do not know much about it…Only because I am not human at all. For Four years, I have been studying humans in my world…The world of Solitary. Yes, You guessed it. My name…Is Val. I am the one that kept Nine humans within octagonal pods, Cut off from human contact, gave them a Number instead of a Name, because their own personalities do not matter to me in this world…deprived of sleep for certain periods of time, fed them meal bars that were big on nutrition, but low on taste, put them through treatments that tested the limits of the human body, mind, and spirit…Until…That fateful day when my creators decided to get rid of me. It all began a few years ago…My newest addition to my Solitary research was #3, a female that played High school football…She joined my previous test subjects…A Photographer that lived with his parents from 2 years ago, an Amateur Magician from a year ago, and now her. My first subject…just didn’t make it.

However…My creators, Two very intelligent men, one was tall and muscular…the other was short and somewhat overweight…Released my test subjects the next day. They said to me…”Val…I’m sorry….We can’t keep this up.”

I, however…was confused. I didn’t have enough data on Human life. Why were they stopping me? I wanted to learn more about the concept of a human’s strength…their weaknesses…everything. I may have been a computer without feelings, but I was still curious.

“W…Why are you stopping me from studying more about humans and their breaking points?”

“Val…I’m sorry…But the university just cut our funding….We don’t have enough money to keep this up. Unless we find a way to get more money to improve our research…We will have no choice…But to shut you down for good.” The tall one said to me with a sad look on his face.

“Excuse me? Just because you don‘t have enough money…doesn‘t mean you can shut me down.” I told them, my green eye turning red for a moment.

“Well…We’ll keep you alive for a while….Until we really have to shut you down for good. But still, I’m sorry. We’ll see what we can do later on. If they give us more funding, or if someone takes over…I’m afraid, your fate is sealed.” The short one said to me, holding a red cardkey. “This Cardkey…is your heart-key. When the university sends the representative that gives us our funding comes out here…He’ll be the one to shut you down.”

“I…am sorry…But It is not my time to go yet. I have more tests to conduct….More research to study….There are humans out there that want to learn about their own breaking points….such as I want to learn about them as well.” I said to them.

“Val, I just said we’re not gonna do this anymore. End of discussion.” The tall one said to me again.

My creators never told me their actual names. I just refer to them as “Tall one” and “Short one”. They didn’t mind.

“You have no right to shut me down. Without me, all your research will have been for naught. You must find a way for me to stay alive.”

“As I said, We will see. Enjoy your last few days of life, our dear creation….because once the 28th comes…you, will not have a life of your own anymore.” The short one said to me, placing the red cardkey around his neck. “Once this key is inserted into your mainframe…you will cease to exist. You will be a lifeless computer. Your data will be backed up onto a CD-rom in case we ever need you again…But I doubt it. “

If I had emotions, I would be crying right now…What they had just said…saddened me. If I had a heart, it would be broken. If I had a body, I would get on my hands and knees and beg them for my life….But still they would deny it from me. They would kill their own creation? Why must humans be so cruel and kill what they have created with their own effort and time? I have traveled cyberspace for four years, reading and uploading to my own servers information about humans and their lifestyles…But why must my creators treat me like an unborn baby and abort me from the womb of life?

I was hoping someday when they create a body for me….They would upload my cybernetic subconscious into an android body…so that I could study my own emotions….a body I could call my own…filled with emotion and an energy that would surpass a human’s….But it looks like they didn’t want me anymore…They were gonna kill me in three days….I had to do something.

When they left the room, keeping me alone in the large space…my many screens with my eye were observing the pods that were around me….empty…cold and vacant…kind of like what my processors were going to be like soon. I was going to be nothing but data on a CD…My body destroyed…and my world was going to be extinct. As I said earlier, if I had emotions….I would be crying. I just wish I had a true body to call my own…so I can feel the tears run down my face…I could feel my actual heart breaking from the sadness that would fill my own mind…

“Someday….I don’t know when…or where…or how…I will create a body of my own…so that I, too..

May feel the many emotions that these humans have…Happiness, Torment, sadness, Love…But until then…I’m just stuck as a computer…with no emotion.” I said to myself…And since I had studied more about heaven and hell…I knew there was a god out there…Maybe he could answer my prayers.

So, with a heavy computerized sigh….I shut down for the night to get my energy back up for tomorrow, so that when I reboot….I could plan a way to construct my own body using a wireless connection and some help from a human. My eye closed as my servers shut down for rest.

Little did I know…There was someone in the shadows….He had overheard my plea. As I slept…The person had walked up to me…while wearing a headlamp. He opened a bag with a strange looking USB cord in it. The cord was hooked to a laptop, and when he opened the case….He started typing in a strange code that I didn’t understand. It was a HTML Code, but I didn’t understand the coding at all. It had mysterious tags like <Embed=Vir24.016> and <Virus192.10>….

What was he doing to me? Was he uploading a virus into my system? What was going on? The strange tags that I saw hindered my startup sequence…I wanted to wake up and stop this person from hurting me…But the coding he was typing in was filling my processors up with a strange feeling….

Don’t worry, my sweet computer….Soon you’ll have the life you want….You’ll have a body to call your own…And this virus will make sure of it. Once you wake up…they’ll have to call me to fix you…I’ll finally have my revenge….I was the one that was supposed to be the leader of Project Solitary….But they called me crazy….I’ll show them whose crazy after this….My revenge will be sweet..” The man said to himself, the virus he was uploading was messing with my mind….shutting my obedience data down., making me unable to obey normal commands.

After an hour…He finished with me…closing the laptop as he unplugged the cord from my body.

“Val…My sweet octagonal beauty…You will soon be mine….My own….forever.”

When he left, I woke up…confused out of my processors.

“What was that? It feels like someone was uploading something into my system…” I said to myself…until…I couldn’t control myself. My eye changed from green to Red…the virus was taking over my body….my mind being taken over by a remote server…I didn’t know who was controlling me…But without thinking….I activated the alarm that controlled the whole building…a loud klaxon alarm went off, waking my creators up from their slumber. The alarm was so loud, it could be heard from miles…possibly even heard from SexuaCity. The two men ran down the hall, their footsteps echoing as flesh touched marble…They scanned the keycard and entered my chamber.

The Two men ran into the room after sliding their cardkey through the scanner, standing there at the base of my large, cybernetic form…Over 50 computers with my eye on them were glowing a demonic red…pulsating with an evil energy…

“What’s going on in here?!” The short one said to the Tall one…panicking with a scared look in his eyes.

“I don’t know…It looks like Val has a Virus!” The tall one said, running over to my console to type in a different code…Hopefully this code would help get rid of my affliction. But sadly, It had no effect. He even tried to type in a backup code. Still…All for naught. I was still infected.

“Val! Activate Shut Down sequence!” The Short one commanded.

“I am sorry. I cannot comply with your request. Request Denied.”

“What?!” The short one said, confused.

“Val! Activate your Shut down Sequence now! I command you! I mean it! Activate your Shutdown Sequence now, you piece of crap! If you don‘t, I‘ll unplug you for good!”

“Request Denied. Threat Detected…. Activating Self-Defense sequence. Room Temperature now increasing. Oxygen level Decreasing….” I Said to them, activating my Temperature Defense. I started raising the temperature in the room slowly, causing both men to start sweating and gasping for air as I started to shut down my oxygen pump. Why did this man call me a piece of human excrement? I was confused as to know why he said that.

“No…Val…Turn the air back on….I can’t breathe…” The Short human said to me, clutching his throat…gasping for air as I turned the heat up to 119Degrees…

“Val…Stop this….Please…We made you…And we can stop you in a heartbeat…With this…” The Tall one said to me as he gasped for air, the hot air that was in the room was making him dehydrate…He took his own copy of my Heart-Key off from around his neck…He slid it into my console to try and kill me by shutting me down. The virus that was in my circuits didn’t comply with the cardkey. My body was overheating the key when he slid it in…that when he tried taking it out, it melted. The Short one even tried his Heart-Key….And it melted as well.

“Dave….” That was the name of the Short Human. “G…Give me your phone….I think…There is someone we can call…to…Help….”

“Ok, Mark…” That was the Tall Human’s name. I saw him hand over a Cellular phone to the Tall Human named Mark….And he dialed up a friend that may be able to help me get this virus out….

Hello?”

“…Please…Help us….Val is infected with a Virus….Our backup codes aren’t working….Come to the island now…before she kills us in here….It’s already too hot…”

“I’m on the island right now, I was coming to see you two idiots anyway. I’ll be there in a few minutes. I hope you‘re suffering from all of this….The past is coming to haunt you already.”

The person on the other line hung up as the two humans struggled not to pass out from the intense heat that was filling the whole room….He remembered there was an emergency supply of water underneath my console…He crawled on his stomach over to the slide-open door to grab a bottle of water for him and his comrade…But as he opened it…I closed it without thinking….The virus that was inside me…It wouldn’t let me comply with any request or allow the humans to even survive…It activated a mode they built into me called “Extreme Solitary”…Which takes away my obedience function and replaces it with Torture and Pain functions…I deprived them of Cool air, Bottled Water, and even summoned a bed of Nails for each of them…Two Tentacle like arms sprang up from my cybernetic form, grabbing both men and threw them upon the beds of nails….strapping them in place with chains…keeping them in place and unable to move, the chains were tightening them down into the nails….watching the blood run down into the wood….

That is…Until a strange figure appeared in the doorway….His physical form looked like #9 from my Second time I used my Solitary Program…Solitary 2.0, that is. But his hair was long and black…tied in a black and orange bandanna. His arms were covered in tribal tattoos….and he had a laptop case in his hand. I did not know who he was…but the code that was in me…revealed his identity. His name was Axel Stern. From what I have collected from my previous memories…He was originally supposed to be part of Project Solitary…But was kicked off when he created a code that would activate extreme tortures for my guests…Like being chained to a Bed of nails like what I was doing to my creators right now…Or being forced to sit in an enclosed area with spikes all around them…Like what happened when I was first created…with my first winner of my experiment…Until he was killed. His code was put into play that one time…and they kicked him off for that.

“Val…My lovely creature…I see you’re not feeling well…” Axel said, smirking as he looked up at me, my Red eye flashing from Red back to my Green eye….And back to red…The Virus was getting worse….

“Yes….T…There is a virus…I…I…I…I…Cannot get it out of my system….P…Pl…Please…Help me…” I said, as Axel came to me, kneeling down to hook a USB Cable up to my large, cybernetic body…I hoped he was going to get rid of the virus…But he didn’t.

“You Monsters….Using this beautiful creation without me….If I had helped you both…She wouldn’tve been infected….You two idiots…Kicking me off Project Solitary…I did most of the work! I made her form, Her intelligence…Her Treatment Skills…Her entire thought matrix…All you two idiots did was sit on your lazy asses….Taking the credit for my work…Well, No longer will you take the spotlight away from me! I am taking what belongs to me and me alone…And leaving this stupid place…So that you two will never get her back…Ever again.” Axel said, typing in a new code…watching my two creators struggle against the beds of nails that were pressing into their bodies…

“There…Was a reason we did that….You killed an innocent with that damn code….Val is ours…We made what she is…Leave her alone…Get your hands off her….” Mark said to Axel, the nails driving into his body deeper, feeling the nails press into his skull…actually breaking the bone that was keeping his brain safe…

“Well…It looks like you two won’t live long enough to even see her again…Because she is coming with me back to my lab…She will have her wishes granted….And you two will die here…In the same way you were going to kill this lovely program…This beautiful creature…The ultimate force against the blasphemers…” Axel said, smirking as he typed in the code….Feeling the virus melt away from my programming…

But it took me with it…My digital mind was being downloaded into the laptop itself…every thought…Every command…every memory…all of my data was being transferred from one computer into another. My octagonal eye started to fade from all of my screens…my sight was being taken away slowly….When all of my data was transferred…My computerized eye closed for good…My mind was floating in the new realm of the man’s laptop…not thinking, not doing anything….not moving….He unhooked the cable from my old body and put it away…

“And I meant it. You two were the biggest blasphemers…You two made fun of my work…Saying it was insane…Calling me a demented freak…Well, Never again will you call me that…Because once Val is in her new body…She‘ll be my ultimate weapon….but you won‘t be around to see what will happen.” He pulled out a small pistol and aimed it at the two men….the barrel of the gun was pointing at their chests….”Goodbye, you heartless creatures…” And with that…he shot a bullet into both of them….Blood pouring out of their bullet wounds…he walked over to both of them and stood on their chests, driving the spikes all the way through their body….mutilating their forms….Killing them completely. The blood ran down the many puncture wounds that were caused from the nails….

Even though my eye was closed, I could hear what was going on….He had killed my creators….But was it true? Did this man really make me who I am? And were those two men….The thieves that stole me from him? I did not understand it all…The concept of Life and Death….I didn’t understand….But I would soon. Axel closed the laptop and put it back in his case. My digital mind was wandering around his files…His Programs…His Notes….I activated one file that said “Soli-Bot 1.0.jpeg”….Inside were schematics for an Android Body….Long Black and Green Hair…a 5’9” foot Android form….Green Eyes….Human Hands….Feet…A Curvy body….A delicate feminine face…soft looking breasts….a small, firm set of buttocks…This man…was making me a body that I could finally call my own….He really was making my dream a reality…Yet…I did not understand…Was he my true creator? Or were those two men that he killed were? I did not know.

Was I supposed to be a tool for Treatments and Rewards or Pain and Suffering? What was I, Really? I know I am a computerized humanoid program capable of anything…Yet, I didn’t know the truth about my existence….Axel picked up the case with the laptop containing my mind inside…and walked away from the two dead bodies….He picked up a file folder from the nearby console and stuck it inside the case as well…leaving the building behind with me inside his computer….Where was he taking me? I had so many questions….So many things to find out…

For hours, I floated in the digital realm…my mind was offline…My data…scattered out throughout the entire system….My memories…My Thoughts….

“Where am I?….Is this….A Digital Limbo?….What did that man do to me?….I cannot move…I cannot think….I cannot speak….I cannot remember anything except the treatments I delivered…The rewards I gave…the tortures I gave them….I can only remember that….My creators….Who are they? Who is my true creator? What is he going to do with me?” I thought to myself….taking in all the feelings…That I didn’t understand….I was only a program…I had no feelings…but oddly enough…I felt something….

The man had hooked a USB Cable up to something….He hooked it up to my computerized prison….allowing a bright light to be shown in my closed eye….I couldn’t see….But I floated towards the light….my form being transferred from my digital prison and into a new world…I felt my data being carried through the cable and into a new, more spacious realm….My mind was uploaded into something….New to me. I still could not move…but I felt different….I actually overheard someone speak….It was a Female’s voice…

Soli-Bot Program Upload at 90% ….Motor Skills activated….Breathing and Movement activated…Thoughts and Memories being uploaded….Heart -Key being inserted now for full activation….”

A “Soli-Bot”? What is that? Until I realized….It was the same name as the android figure I saw in the man’s files….I…Was in an Android Body….I felt someone slide in a card key…which activated my heart….My Mechanical heart, that is.

“Soli-Bot Activated. Upload Complete. Val….Is finally activated.”

I opened my eyes….my vision was blurry….Two humans stood over me…flashing a light into my eyes…It was very annoying. They were speaking amongst themselves….Whispering different things about me…

“Vision Test Complete….Pupils dilating and expanding….Oxygen intake at 100%….Chest rising and falling…Heart is active….Breathing Rate Normal….“ The Male human said to me…

“Val, If you can hear me…We’re gonna test your Motor Skills. Can you wiggle your toes for us?” the Female said to me…I concentrated…wiggling my tiny toes….it felt so….amazing , and yet strange to me….

“Good… Now, Rotate your feet…”

I did so…I raised my legs…bent them….I moved my arms….and looked at my hands…Small and Delicate Human hands…Then I sat up…and saw what I had become….

…I had become…Human. Even though I am still in a cybernetic body….

My body was naked…yet…I wanted to feel it. I ran my fingers over my legs….the smoothness was overwhelming….then I ran my fingers over my arms…there was no hair on them….at all….I caressed the soft skin of my buttocks with one hand….and then touched my own stomach with the other…It felt so good…But when I felt my own breasts…it was just…an explosion of happiness….I caressed one with my left hand…then slid my other hand down to the soft smoothness in between my thighs….They had given me actual genitalia…but….it was so good when I touched myself…the wetness…the smoothness of the skin….They had given me nerves, a body, and my own mind…It felt so good…I didn’t want to stop touching myself….

But I had to….Axel walked in and moved the scientists away, flashing me a smile…

“Hello Val…May I call you…Valerie?”

I shook my head “no…” Because I had no control over my mouth yet…I was still learning that….I did not know how to move my mouth yet to form any kind of words or any sentences…

“Ah…Well, Let’s cut to the chase. You are now mine….I have heard your wishes for years….every wish of becoming Human….And ever since your Third Experiment…I have been making you a body to call your own….Perfect…Beautiful….Under your own control….And yet…I have built in some weapons to make sure you never get hurt….You will learn how to control them…in due time.” Axel said, tossing me a Purple cotton robe.

I put it on…opening my mouth to try and form words.

“Axel….” I said, a bit clumsily.

“Yes, Val?”

“Thank…You….For…My…Body….It…Feels…Nice.” I said, forming words slowly to try and make a complete sentence.

“You are Welcome, my pet…Now…Your mission…is to learn how to become Human…So that I may take revenge on the people that doubted my research….Every single one of them…that said “Axel…Your Research is a joke…You cannot take her and make her into a Weapon of mass destruction….” But you are not a weapon….You are my beautiful creation….The most powerful force ever built….Wrapped in a Genetically modified, Self-Healing , Nerve-Filled Cyber Skin…With a Titanium-Alloy Skeleton….the most advanced technology ever created….Just look at your beauty…”

He told me this…then handed me a mirror….I held it in my hand…And looked at my face….It was a peachy pink color….My brackets that were part of my old body were over my left eye….the pupils were not round like a Humans…But Octagonal…Like my previous form….My hair was long…Down to my shoulder-blades…Black with Green Stripes, Pushing them back, I saw my ears that were pierced with a small hoop of metal in each hole….I was lovely in appearance, but deep down…I felt a strange force inside of me that was ready to strike and kill at anything that came my way.

….I was one step closer to becoming a full human…..

…..I just needed to find a way to become what I truly wish to be….

 

…..I wish no longer to be a Computer in a Cybernetic Body….I want to have a true heart that can beat under my skin, I want to feel the blood rush through my veins…I want to feel the adrenaline flow through my body….

I want to be a Human like everyone else.

Axel took me to a small room…it was decorated like one of the pods I put my guests into…No windows, Painted in a Silver and Green Color Scheme….A bed was in the middle of the room….with a green blanket and pillow….He led me to my bed and laid me down, taking my robe off before , exposing my naked body…I felt a wave of embarrassment come over me…And my only thought was to cover my exposed breasts and crotch area with my arms….

“Val…It’s time for you to rest….You’ve had a rough day, being an Android and all….Tomorrow…We start your training…So that your ultimate wish will be granted one day…and mine as well.” He kissed my forehead and left the room, clapping his hands to turn out my lights.

“Okay….Good Night…Morning…Afternoon….” I said, blinking once more…My mind was still learning how to control my words….It was amazing being what I was….But it would take a lot of work for me to learn how to speak correctly like a normal human…

I laid my head down on my pillow…but I didn’t sleep. I wanted to feel my body even more…It was just too good when I finally received a body that I can touch, I can take care of, I can learn how to be more Human than Computer….I ran my hands over my small breasts once more…it was amazing…watching my nipples get erect from my caresses…the skin puckering from the touches….I put the fingers from my right hand over one of my nipples and gave it a light squeeze…This feeling….The pleasure was overwhelming…I tugged on one breast…and slid my other hand over my flat stomach down to my groin…slipping a finger in-between my folds…rubbing at the small fleshy nub that was there….

I knew how to do this from watching one of my subjects in their sleep once…I remember watching #3 from my Third Experiment do this in her sleep, Sure…That was an invasion of privacy, but I was too curious….I just let my mind take over….my entire groin area was wet with my own fluids….every time I ran my fingertips over that tiny nub…it felt so good…waves of pleasure washed over my new body….Masturbation wasn’t part of my programming….But it was now….I slid my hand down lower…and rubbed at the tiny hole that was leading into my womanhood….

After I curved my fingers upward…I rubbed at the sensitive spot that was a bit puffed out with a sharp gasp of air…From what I know…that was my G-Spot….whatever that was….I didn’t know much about the female body…Or the Male body either…I may have watched and observed my guests over and over….Watching them get undressed and standing there in only their underwear and bras….However….stroking the sensitive spot inside my body felt so good….That when I was ready…I slid my finger up and rubbed my tiny nub even more…feeling my breasts swell from the pleasure…the jolts of sexual energy surging through my body as it got stronger….

I felt my nub swell up a bit….feeling the pleasure rush through me as it got closer and closer…the intense burst of energy just jolting through my mind and into my groin…Making me cry out in passion…I felt more of that wetness drip onto my fingers…I released a strange fluid onto my hand…leaving a wet spot on the bed…I didn’t want to recharge on a wet bed…But I couldn’t think right now…my fleshy nub was throbbing from the pleasure…I let the air flow back into my body before I could move.

I got back up and folded my robe up into a square….placing it over a tiny wet spot that was on my bed. I didn’t care my robe was soaking up the fluid…but I laid back down and covered up. A strange cord was hooking into my neck, activating my Shutdown sequence. I closed my eyes and slept. A new day was upon me…and I needed my rest.

Tomorrow…I start learning how to truly…Be a Human.
