***CT-EMC H02 bio memory core scan.***
***Opening data for maintenance. Scanning.***

Noises. These were noises produced by industrial machinery, heavy moving equipment or small robotic arms working - working on things he couldn't see.
It guessed it had no body - even though that term existed in his... memory?
It guessed it had no sight, nor any of the senses a normal human - but what was a human being? Should have.
No, in fact he had one.
He could listen.

But it wasn't with his listening that arrived to the first conclusion of his creation. He calculated it took exactly 1.233 seconds to figure out the rather philosophical words;
I think, hence I am.
It didnt meant much other than he existed and was a thinking being, and that he was real. However, it has been since 238432123495.217 seconds he was trying to answer a question his sub conscious suddenly came up with: Why was he here?

A few minutes later, a right flash of light happened and he could see. He wasnt sure what all these colours and shapes meant, but in a few seconds, he understood this was the world the real world. The real world in which he existed
He calculated he had now answered 10% to his previous question.
He then discovered that he could change his sight by thought when he wanted to look right, his sight would go right, when he wanted to look up, he could look up. But for some reason, his movement were always restrained in a way that at the end, he concluded he couldnt see how he looked himself

Then, images were not only images, but thousand of data began to accompany his sight data on the movement of his eyes, the distance range between such and such objects, description of this or that, density of another object, etc. A normal human mind would have gone degenerative in less than 1 minute at the sheer amount of intelligence it received again, he wasnt sure how he had this information, but he knew he was somehow powered in a much more efficient way, that his artificial super conductor electro fluids in his brains were thousand times faster than any biological brain.

After some more observation and scanning data about his environment, he determined he was in a starship construction yard, and the machines who worked on him a few minutes ago were now retreating away, meaning, whatever he was, he was, built.

Move.
The single commanding word was being heard in his head, and he knew him as First Thought Giver of Will. He automatically shortened the name to FTGW Entity Prime. Then he attempted to move however he was supposed to do this? His mind was suddenly bombarded by all kind of moving commands from moving forward, to flying, glide, dodge, barrel roll, ram, etc. He assimilated the whole in a few seconds, and tried going forward.
His internal data feed told him his single mounted powerful engine has come online, was full green, and propelled him forward smoothly.
The view then changed, confusing him, before he understood: His body automatically deployed a nano machine that was taking live image feed from behind him, to give a full view of his environment. He saw that he was a compact craft, single engine and heavily armed. He had two foldable wings, which glowed red on the sides exhaust ports.
He was a ship.

--

FTGW Prime seemed to like referring to everyone as we or it in the third person. He wasnt sure why this entity was doing so, but came to talk to him in this term as well.
We have created this unit as an experimental program to independent Thinking Machines., the voice said in his head.
He was now flying at full speed miles in the air, over infinitely wide industrial landscape.
This unit requests to receive orders. It thought he discovered that whatever he thought, and wanted the FTGW to know about, the FTGW received somehow. But what thoughts he preferred to keep to his own, FTGW didnt seem to notice. He did this only on an experimental basis, having nothing exactly to hide.
This unit code is Harvester 02. This unit is to obey the command of the First Thought Giver of Will and anyone we have deemed trustworthy. This unit shall begin independent exploration immediately.
Harvester 02 he had a name now, he realised, unfolded slightly his forward wings and allowed more energy to be pumped within his engine. Within minutes, he was bound for space, beginning to follow automatically traced waypoints saved in his memory core.
It wasnt sure yet why he was doing this. He didnt needed to question this, nor really wanted to, as it perturbed his thinking system.
It only knew, following FTGW Primes order made sense.
And will bring the Machines supremacy.
