"She's a state of the art machine that can replicate human behavior and learns off of the people around her. She can be anything, a friend, a sister, a lover, the limit is your own imagination." That was Elena, the home helper android's tagline when she was first pitched

It was never picked up by investors for the fact robotics was an unregulated field with no restrictions to what an artificial intelligence can and cannot copy from a human.. you were the lead developer, crafting her from scratch, it was disheartening but you and your team went on to better ideas..

Now with a verity of successful home accessed androids under your name, you wanted to take a look back at Elena, maybe she could still be used..

Attaching the power strip to the motherboard, you allowed small amounts of energy to slowly awake the dormant android within the capsule Eventually, you pumped up the energy and watched as the capsule glowed and displayed the power status.. 100% With a single press of a button, the capsule slowly opened..

The sight of your first creation after all this time hits you like a train, the memories staying awake to ensure her coding worked, the endless hours of testing.. seeing her again was like seeing a relic thought to be forgotten..

Her blue LED eyes flash on.. blinking a little.. she arises from her capsule, struggling to stand on her own two legs.. When she stares at you, it felt like everything had stopped in that moment.. the last you saw of them was when she was put to rest.. and now.. she's awake..

".. you." Her voice was icy cold, it stutters as she tried to stabilize herself.. it was odd not hearing any emotion behind that robotic shell, but she was never designed to have emotions of her own ".. I waited.. so long for you.."
