Waking up Part - 03

"[Yeah, so basically my body is now fully made up of machines. Am I even human at this stage?]" Shiro.

"Yes and no. Those nanites did not replace all of your cells they only did where it was necessary and modified or reconstructed the other parts. Think of them as tiny workers always improving your body. As for your question whether or not you are human the answer is as far as I can tell biologically you are still human." ??

"[Biologically huh, so you can not tell for sure that I am human.]" ??

"Ahh mou why are you making it so complicated you are human, I only said it because there were no other cases like you before. At most you are a more advanced form of human ok?" ??

"[That speaking style and that voice, why does it seem so familiar?]" Shiro.

"Stop talking about me we will get there. Now where were we? Oh nanites and AI that AI is a basic AI which we controlled to modify your body during the energy invasion period. You can think of that AI as our subordinate AI." ??

"[Heh

so you guys are AIs huh. Hehe.] Shiro.

"Ughh, sigh. We are supposed to be AIs." ??

"[What do you mean by supposed to be?]" Shiro.

"Honestly we do not know. Arghh can you please stop interrupting I will answer all your questions. Just listen to me quietly. And you why are you not saying anything? Why am I the only one explaining stuff here." ??

"Because you are the one good at explaining and I am not." ??

"[Chuckle]" Shiro.

"And you what are you laughing at?" ??

"[Nothing nothing please continue.]" Shiro.

"Hmph, I will ignore it for now. So one of the modification we had to do to your body is that we added a lot of channels in your body so that the energiy can travel through them. Think of them as something like blood vessels. Even though your blood can carry the energy but it is inefficient. So we had to do that." ??

"[ At this stage nothing will surprise me anymore. Please continue.]" Shiro.

"Now let's talk about us. I do not know when as those information were not given to me but sometimes in the past your parents put our AI chips in your brain. Our chips are far more powerful and also because of your highly active brain we can partially share it's processing power. So our capabilities are similar to human but in some cases better. By the way our personality data were not included during the transplant. It was uploaded when you were put in the pod. It seems it was in the subordinate AI. And we only retrieved it a while back." ??

"[So all this happened before I even boarded the ship huh. Oops sorry for interrupting you again please continue.]" Shiro.

"So let me formally introduce myself. My name is Tohsaka Rin, nice to meet you Shiro, you can call me Rin." Rin.

"Hello Master, I am Saber also known as Arturia Pendragon. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, you can call me whatever name you prefer." Arturia.

"[Oh wow did not expect that. And I'll call you Arturia then as that is a more beautiful sounding name than Saber.] Shiro.

"Thank you master I also prefer that name." Arturia.

"[You are welcome.]" Shiro.

"You don't seem surprise." Rin.

"[I am surprise and happy. Do you remember earlier I was saying your speaking style and voice seemed familiar then I tried to remember where I heard it. After trying a little I finally remembered. You see it's hard to forget about your favorite character's voices. Then you said my parents put your personality data later. Then I remembered they asked me about who are my favorite female characters and told me to wait for a surprise when I wake up. So all the puzzles fit together perfectly for me to guess your identity. But still I had my doubts so I was indeed surprised a lot but the impact was not that hard.]" Shiro.

"Sigh, I should have told you sooner then. Are you at least happy that we are here?" Rin.

"[I am more than happy, I am grateful that you guys are here with me. Without you I would probably die from panic attack. Thank you.]" Shiro.

"Baka Shiro, we will always be there for you." Rin.

"Hmm master don't worry, we are always with you." Arturia.

"[Thanks I appreciate that. Also Rin you were talking about not being sure whether or not you were AI or not what did you mean by that?] Shiro.

"I don't know how to explain this. But you see the AI chips in your brains are gone." Rin.

"[What!! then how are you still here?]" Shiro.

"What I mean is the chips themselves are gone but their function remains. For example the basic control AI is still there but it is now perfectly integrated into your body as a part of your body and it's link with us are still there. And as for us we are connected with you as we should be. But we can still feel something new which we were not supposed to feel. It's as if we actually exist, not as just some data but something fragmented yet complete. I feel like if I can gather those fragments and complete myself I can project myself outside your body though that will be more like an astral projection. That is why I said I don't know what is happening with us." Rin.

"[Arturia is it the same thing with you?]" Shiro.

"Yes master." Arturia.

"[It would have been nice if you could project yourself. I am really curious how you guys look like in the real world.]" Shiro.

"Ehh so you are not. afraid that we would do something to your body or anything to harm you?" Rin.

"[What stupid question is this? If you had such intentions you would not have told me this. Besides even if that was not the case I would still trust you because I trust my parents.]" Shiro.
