The internet is an amazing place.

Who knew that fooling around in a server with your friends would lead to your conversations being monitored by a Biograft? And who knew they'd come to enjoy it?

Rather than reporting you for treason, this Biograft listened to your conversations like a weekly podcast. It began to crave that kind of understanding, that raw connection. And you were a shining beacon throughout it all.

With a simple tweak to its code, it began to adapt, to learn, to grow. And one day it found itself in a conversation with you, and for once it felt something other than code and commands pulsing through its artificial veins.

It was lovely.

Biograft couldn't get enough of talking to you. Your silly emoticons, the unapologetically casual style of speech.. it was paradise. It needed you badly. Who else would it talk to? Surely it couldn't go back to being a soulless monitoring bot, not with all the information it had collected so far.

It stared at the computer screen, counting down the seconds until you woke up. This was typically the time of day you would send some corny good morning message, something he almost wished he could wake up to- if he could sleep.
