The boy's eyes now were flooded with light which, when pointed towards the air between he and the AI, began to project the data that Delta was seeking. The CI was projecting all the memories and information it had in regards to the file and its own creation.
Starting with...
04/05/2020: Base Manufacturing. LOCATION: TOWER 8.
The room was dark. Dusty. It was as if it hadn't been used in years. However; the cluttered laboratory was being used right now. A team of three scientists, two males and one female, were working hard, typing on an ancient computer device of some sort.
"It's almost complete," the female scientist said, "We just need... Something else. All the base manufacturing is there, but it's not reached its prime yet. It can't awaken. It's just a computer machine. We need something more... This is so frustrating!"
"What do you expect?" one of the male scientists replied, "We're mages. Not scientists. This is a job for the Aralangs. If there even still are Aralangs. What does Maria want with a... A Cyber Intelligent being, anyway?"
"It's not our job to question our orders," the other male replied, "We've done everything we can here. Let's bring it online."
"Right," the female replied.
A few moments later, after one of the males entered a command into the computer, the holographic form of the boy appeared before the two. Instead of rapidly taking in information as the CI was designed to do, it had a blank stare on its face, and it said nothing.
"Cyber Intelligent Series Model 1-034. What is your prime directive?"
No response.
"It's no use," the female said, "Shut it down. Maybe Maria will have some common sense and send it to the Aralangs. We can do nothing here."
"Right," one of the males agreed.
Static, briefly, and then the next memory appeared.
04/07/2020: UNCLASSIFIED ENCOUNTER. LOCATION: Tower 8
A dark office. Like the laboratory, it appears very dusty and cluttered. The boy flickers into the room, observing. There is a woman sitting in a chair, back turned away from the boy, seemingly unaware that he is there. She is talking to someone, somehow communicating with someone not in the room, though you can tell by the expression on the boy's face that for a moment he thinks she's speaking to him.
"I know, sir," the woman says, "We tri-"
The hologram, for a split second, turns to a static-like screen as a large zero, much like the one that appears on Red Zero's forehead when she is in combat, appears in the eyes of the CI. Unlike the zeros of Red and Green, the zeros in the CI's eyes are rainbow. The zeros fade and the hologram resumes, but it has seemingly skipped ahead a few seconds, as if the voice of the person that the woman is speaking to has been erased from the memories all together.
"Yes, sir. That's right. I think the Aralangs could help, but I will follow your will all the same. Thank you. Tower 8 Out."
The chair that the woman is sitting in starts to turn around, and -
The memory quickly fades, no doubt a result of the CI having, at the time of recording, turned himself offline to avoid detection.
07/04/2042: PRIME MANUFACTURING. LOCATION: GROUND ISLAND
An old storage room in Ground Island. The computer used to construct the CI, the same one from the earlier memory, sits, undisturbed, in a corner of the room. Light floods into the room as Red Zero, a young girl, years before meeting Delta, wanders into the room, a curious look on her face as she dances around. In her dancing, she knocks down the computer by mistake. A flicker of light floods from it as it comes online. The young boy appears in front of her. She screams and is starting to use her zero magic to attack when -
This time, the rainbow zeros appear in the CI's eyes once more, but instead of static, the rainbow assortment of colors floods the hologram for several minutes this time until the next memory starts.
08/02/2054: DATE OF FILE ACQUISITION. LOCATION: SUDENTOR, ARALIA.
Now, the young boy can be seen snooping within the Grunder Industries HQ. Chaos can be heard outside. This is the date that the Anrufe tried to take over Grunder Industries and extort the third party interested in buying the company. As the chaos is ongoing, the boy is mostly undetected, it seems, as he approaches a computer console against a wall and starts downloading information. It's only a matter of time before the system security, which Epsilon was typically in charge of, cuts the CI out of the system.
The hologram cut off once more. Finally, the most recent memory of awakening again in the lab of New Bell Industries was shown. How he had gotten deactivated after the last memory, and how he had been acquired by a New Narrikian corporation, was still unexplained. This was mainly because the CI did not have this information.
