Chapter 2928 Split My Poor Little Pussy:>90
- We were all assembled before the wall of monitors. An exterior camera showed the final approach of the ship as it crossed the space that made up our solar system with that of the alien system. There were cheers from everyone. I watched as the left side of the screen changed to an interior view. The cybernetic cocoon opened and the robot began waking up. We could see panels light up and a display below showed each of its systems as they came online. They were all green and with a final surge of power the silicon simulacrum took its first breath. It didn't need to breathe but it was programmed to emulate humanity. I watched it get to its feet and stretch, another of its programmed functions to appear more human. What happened next was not a part of its scheduled wake up routine. The robot tilted its head up and looked directly into the camera. I took half a step back and there were murmurs among the assembled scientists.
- "Is it supposed to do that?"
- "I don't think so. Is that a malfunction?"
