Just a little snippet of something I'm working on. (No... that's not the title. xD)
--
I was aware of many things when my systems first came online. I was aware that wherever I was, it was relatively dark, though I could see perfectly well. I was aware that, despite the fact that I was not sure where I was exactly, wherever I was was located on a planet called Earth, which was located about 150 million kilometers from an average yellow star called Sol. I was aware that whoever created me had given me the name Ada, which was supposed to be a joke of some sort.
I knew algebra, calculus, trigonometry. I knew how to batter through firewalls and crack encryptions. I knew that I was alone in this large room.
What I did not know was why I had awoken at this particular point in time. There was nothing indicating I had been on a timer of any sort; I was not hooked up to any machinery. In fact, I was lying in the middle of the floor.
That was how I started to believe that this was not, in truth, the first time I had been activated.
