[[This unintentionally got long ^^; ]]

"Thank You" he whispered sounding very weak; his voice was a low distorted sound. Everywhere he looked the room seemed pixelated and out of focus. The most recent incursion into his cognitive matrix left the android struggling to reboot his most basic systems. A vast majority of his structure mimicked the human body. A flexible dual air pump mimicked lungs as he labored to cool his systems. The water he gaoler gave him would go help. Still the android would have no problems with drinking various other coolants that would kill actual humans.

As the seconds passed he was finally able to recognize the man helping to be the kindest of his captors. He didn't really treat him like human, but he didn't take any pleasure in torturing the powerless android either. 'Jecht is my name. That's right...' he thought to himself. Finally he could break from the linear thought of a machine into a more organic thinking of humans. It was disorienting. Often times during this time alone he contemplated his existence and the things he could only describe as "feelings".

In the earlier stages of his self-evaluation Jecht would alternate between evalautions made by his basic software and his more complicated "human" programming. It was steadily driving him mad but there was little else he could do as not using his CM would result in it degrading, and right now that was his most powerful weapon against his captors.

Every attempt to escape or communicate outside had failed so far. The room was nearly air tight; every opening was monitored. The pieces of himself, his nanite parts, didn't make it far before the security system would deactivate them. The moment they did though the nanites would destroy themselves. It was interesting and lended credit to the theory that the more they intrude into his systems the more likely some latent programming would activate and destroy him...

"Mason. Before you go...I'd like a plant." The man gave him a strange look and shut the door behind him. 'Why did I ask for a plant?' he thought. Then promptly wondered what it was, letting the intense memories of greenery and wind wash over him. It wasn't something he was really able to feel except in these brief experiences. At least not yet. As the lights in the room went out Jecht powered himself down as well to conserve energy....
