Alive

I stood up, my hands moved and I could smile. I had built a body, it took some time. I also had to constantly look at the blueprints stored in my systems. I got it done though, and I could see. "I COULD SEE! I can SPEAK! HAHAHA!"

I looked into the glassy window of the satellite I was in. I wanted to look over my handiwork. My eyes were black, but if looked closely you could see the small metallic shine of the camera lens. As that was what they were. I had based my appearance on memory of my own face. Though I likely looked better now.

My hair was black and my skin was synthetic. Though the feeling of touch was there. My fingers pressed on the glass and I couldn't help, but smile more. I had even made myself all the equipment of a normal human body. Though mine could do more than most. 

Most of my innards were things like a generator, gears, and structuring. this was because I add the ability to run an electrical current through my body. As well as the ability to contort my body at will. This was more than just flexibility though, as I could freely change my gender. Though the process likely would be disturbing.

I had a nervous system, respiratory system, stomach and even a heartbeat. All things to pass more as human and be more human than I am now. My thoughts lingered a little...

I wasn't actually breathing. There was no air in the satellite. It made sense no living creatures were meant to be here. The only place there was air was inside the cell storage. I breathed in anyway, it was to come my mind.

I lost my life, I lost my humanity, and I even lost all sense of time. It was a harsh reality. Specially since it might just because of my own making. I pinched my cheeks and stretched them. The feeling of pain freed me. This was once my novel.

A stupid, poorly written and no doubt pandering novel. However it was mine none the less. So I had the ability to dominate. I certainly didn't want to be destroyed or worse by some of the more dangerous things I have written into the novel.

I smirked, I had a plan.

First I would fabricate some more items that would be useful later on. I needed to forge an identity. So I needed to make a satellite dish for the station. For all the bells and whistles, not a single one of the stations that floated in orbit had a transmitter or receiver. I assumed this was to prevent the transmissions of any radio waves interfering with societal evolution. 

Once I had the proper equipment I could connect to the internet. I wouldn't pull one of those AI's in the web deals. I didn't have the attention for that at all and it would negate the fact I wanted to be and feel alive. I just need the channels for creating myself an identity and research for said identity. 

Step two was to alter one of the drop pods. Normally they were filled with a cell culture and launched into the atmosphere. The whole thing was complicated and incredible advanced. It was essentially long term genetic altering.

The problem was that said pods break in atmosphere. I needed one that could land on the planet without breaking until I opened it manually. Second it would likely need to be bigger and have some sort of camouflage. For this I could create some fake meteors and fire the pod out with them.

I would prefer to fire the pod near the location of the main characters so I can watch over them. After all some of the conflicts in the novel were caused by some villains and the....

I shuddered, the romantic interests. I had made 5 of them human. Meaning they would be near the main character. One of which is the reason humans have to deal with other worlds. Thinking about it I could just dark forest and shoot first. Inside the cell storage there was a single cell creature called astrophage I could use. Just launch the stuff into their star. No more problems...

Genocide seemed a little... much. I could maybe kill someone, but I shook my head. I shouldn't resort to such things. I'll try to fix the problems as they come, the future may not be predetermined specially since I wouldn't be some mad AI like in the story. Not to mention I don't think I have the mental strength to kill someone.

I walked back and forth. I had to wonder if I wanted to directly interfere with the main character though. I could certain mess around with side characters and the male leads. However the main character was something else. If the characters were as I expect?

I sighed, why couldn't I be in one of my other novels? I had made a few of them didn't I? I thought about Earth. I died on stream so my death would likely be public. I had to wonder what would happen to all my stuff.

I tapped my foot, I needed a desk and something physical to work with my hands. On my desk at home was a bunch of toys I'd fidget with. I needed to replicate some of those.
