It had been two hundred years since the war and the databases automatically started to run procedures. "System startup. First memory data selected: Eres Amziani. Designated body: missing. Mechanical backup body: XR-210 Armed Miner. Adding transformation function. Modeling human appearance after scanned blueprints done." Then a black metal box opened up and a mechanical arm took the body out. It was a bald soulless female body. "Eres Amziani desires hip long brown hair and tan skin tone." A machine came down and boxed up around the body. After a couple seconds it was done revealing a tanned girl with long dark brown hair. Then the back of the head opened and a cable with a needle like plug was put into a hole. "Uploading memory. Done." Then the cable was removed and the back of the head closed. "Starting up oxygen powered generator. Done. Dressing body. Done."
The girl then opened her eyes. Eres found herself awake in a body that felt different. She looked into a mirror and saw that her eyes were red and had a somewhat mechanical iris. She looked around and noticed a couple skeletons and dust. The machine was about to make the next person...

"Second memory data selected: Natalie Toff. Designated body: Missing. Mechanical backup body: FH-437 Agility Super-Spy. Starting transformation function. Modeling human appearance after scanned blueprints done." The black metal box opens up again and the mechanical arm takes the second female body out. "Natlie Toff desires mid-back length medium to dark brown hair and dark tan, athletic skin tone to match athletic build." The other machine comes down and boxes up around the second body. After a couple seconds it was done again, revealing a dark tanned girl with mid-back length hair that's dark brown with lighter brown hilights. The back of the head is opened and a cable with a needle like plug is put into a hole. "Uploading memory. Done." The cable is removed and the back of the head closed. "Starting up oxygen powered generator. Done. Dressing body. Done."

Natalie blinks rapidly, her eyes quickly adjusting the oddly lit room around her. She sits up in somewhat jerky motions, the new body feeling quite different than her last. She stands and looks into a mirror next to another girl. She starts slightly at the shockingly violet, inwardly illuminated eyes that seem unreal and body that seems machine like. She glances down at her clothing, capri length jeans that hugged her muscular legs, a dark red tank top with the words "Skateboarding is Life" going down the side in bold, black letters, and plain black Converses. Natalie glances at the girl next to her, taking in her appearance in one swoft glance then looks around the room they're in and notices much dust, some skeletons, which she suspects must've been them at one point, then a more familar sight that brings a small smile to her mechanical face.

Moving faster and smoother than she ever remembers being able to, Natalie opens a clear plastic box and pulls out her highly favored skateboard and hugs it to her chest lovingly, like a child who had lost their favorite teddy bear then found it again later. She puts the skateboard down at her feet and squats down next to the box. She opens a bag that's sitting on the bottom of the box and pulls out a watch that's sitting on top. It's one of those watches that keeps up with the date. It's dead. Stopped at 2:43 PM on February 27, 2020. Her eyebrows raise up at the date. 'We've been in here over ten years? Wherever here is exactly...' Natalie thinks as she puts the watch down. She looks in the bag again and smiles widely as she pulls out her Glock. She runs her fingers over the smooth frame of the Glock then frowns a little as dried oil comes off on her fingers. 'It takes years for oil to dry... We've had to have been in here longer than ten years for this to happen,' she thinks, her frown deepening with worry. She turns back towards the other girl.

"What year is it?" she asks in a voice with no of accent or emotion.

"If I got it right, we have been here for exactly 200 years meaning its May 14th 2216, 6:21 am. If you are asking who I am, my name is Eres Amziani. I am the daughter of a scientist who worked here. My father managed to save me although he wasnt allowed to. I am not a child of a prominent person but my father seemed to at least manage to get me a powerful body." Eres said. Eres noticed a PDA like device on a table with an old note on it reading "For Eres". Eres checked out the PDA. It had a message on it saying: "My dear Eres. Because you will need a lot of help in the future, I have disposed of your old body and left you XR-210 Armed Miner body. It was made for androids but I changed it so your memory can be on it. It was made for remote military operations in combat and in finding resources. I hope you turn out to be ok."
Eres noticed through the additional memory given to her that she was in fact a hellish mechanical weapons arsenal. She smiled because she liked the idea of being a killing machine.

"Third memory data selected: Laitra Deslin. Designated body: Missing. Mechanical backup body: CLM-7891. Starting transformation function. Modeling human appearance after scanned blueprints done." The black metal box opens up and the mechanical arm takes the third female body out. "Lairta Deslin desires neck long dirty blonde hair, normal white skin tone and a delicate build." A second machine encloses the small robotical form and within seconds gives it the desired attributes. After a couple seconds it was done, revealing Laitra pretty much just as she was before she had to hide in this base. The back of the head is opened and a cable with a needle like plug is put into a hole. "Uploading memory. Done." The cable is removed and the back of the head closed. "Starting up oxygen powered generator. Done. Dressing body. Done."

Laitra's eyes fluttered open and she looked down at her hands. She flexed the small robotic fingers trying to get a feel for this new body. She stretched her new body, It felt so good to finally be out of that box. Granted you couldn't really feel being in it, it's just that you always had this feeling of being confined. Of course that's only if you were actually conscious for the whole thing. She looked around at the other two standing in the room. Natalie Toff and Eres Amizani. Both looked a little shaken up. She examined the room a bit more trying to adjust her new eyes. She saw the skeletons. That was something she wished she hadn't seen. Her body rotting as it got older and then finally rotted to bones. That was a bit......disturbing, though she had read worse. Ahhh she bathed in the glorious knowledge filling her mind, there was nothing she couldn't do now. She felt like she was floating on a cloud through the cosmos, yes she had to tamper with the systems to gain her the time, and the loss of her body, as heartbreaking as it was, a needed loss. She kinda felt sorry for the other two girls, they seemed lost now. Natalie rushed over and caressed her skateboard like a lost lover and then fondled her guns a bit. She seemed almost heartbroken. "What year is it?" she asked.

"The year is 2230 and it is 9:13 in the morning of the third of July." She said as she accessed the base's computer to check the time. She had been keeping track of the days and years quite well while in the computer mainframe.

After seeing the data, I seem to be here with two president daughters who probably lived a good and rich life, while my father had to work hard to be able to have a middle class family." Eres said because she didnt have a good opinion of rich girls.

Laitra ran a quick run through the system and checked and had the system check the computers time. It had indeed glitched out and gotten the time wrong. Damn how did I miss that "Hmm, yeah you do appear to be right Eres. But please do not judge me because my father was a world leader. If you didn't know, he never graduated college and started working in a coal mine at 17. Also don't assume I had a good life. I hated my life. You would be right though, I did live a rich life, and I can't say I didn't enjoy parts of it. But I would have traded with you any day. Honestly only one good thing ever came about from being that." It was true, all the publicity, the lights, the stalkers. She could never go anywhere, never do anything. She could never be normal. And chances are she still couldn't now but Laitra had resigned herself to that fact. "There are no more rich, or family heritage, or anything. We are who we are and we are here. What we can do is survive. Eres, you said your dad help build and design this place. I am assuming these bodies still need food and water like anything else right?" Laitra hoped so, after 200 years of continued running and no maintenance there are sure to be many glitches in the system. That just will not do, she needed to get to the computer terminal, plug herself in, find the glitches, the broken pieces, and fix them soon.

"My father made it possible to still be able to taste foods and beverages but these bodies don't necessarily need foods and drinks. They are fully mechanical, meaning what ever you drink or eat comes back out as they came in. I dont look forward to that. If I dont need to eat to survive then its ok." Eres said to Laitra. "I was practically assigned to protect you with this military designed body. In case there are mutants or other dangerous creatures out there then I will be able to kill them."

Laitra was walking along the hallways of the facility and listened to her. She got to the computer room and slowly started warming the system up. "Hmm well, I'll try it sometime. Going to hate missing some foods." She reset the facilities clock first of all. and then began running Diagnostics on all of the systems in the base. *Ping* there was one, Door in hallways 2B is jammed, damaged wiring. She got up and began to walk towards that area.

"Protection huh. Well Eres, I would rather you forget that. I want to be friends and that is all. I honestly don't need much protection. Even if there are mutants, I can deal with it." She arrived at the broken door. and opened up a small hatch on the side, entered a small key and popped open the hatch. She started rewired it for a little bit and then a small whirring sound was heard as power returned to the door. "There we go. well back to the computer for the next problem. Have to get this facility up and running again, 200 years has not been kind on it I'm afraid." She returned to the computer to see about a hundred other little red pings on the screen. "aww come on. ARGHHH. Well Eres, it's been nice chatting but I have a lot of work to do here. You and Natalie might want to go outside and look around. See what exactly happened out there. I haaave too" she picked another red ping out at random "ahhhh well, get the......,great whole electrical grid back online in the Armory, and then clean all the crap in there cleaned up and in working condition." This was going to be a very long day she could see. She looked down at her white hoodie only to see a big grease spot already on it. "well that sucks." was all she said before heading off to the armory.

"Will do so." Eres said. She turned to Natalie and said: "I will inspect the area outside. If you come looking for me then you have a built in function that shows my location. I will probably be gathering materials for a surface settlement too." Eres left through a rusty door on the top level to find that she was in a lush green forest. She walked for a bit until she noticed a human settlement at the edge of the forest. It looked like a village of the middle ages. Then a lumberjack walked past her and noticed her: "Who are you? Those strange clothes probably mean you are a foreigner." "My name is Eres. Sorry but if you intend to invite me to the village, I cannot come. I still have duties." Eres said and walked away. She then walked a bit until she got to an area where she thought it would be safe so no one could see her. She then transformed and began analyzing the ground for minerals. While her drills dug into the ground, her metallic claws tore a tree out of the ground. She consumed the tree and inside her the tree was compressed to a small cube for later processing. The lumberjack had followed her and had seen this. Frightened he thought she was a demon and ran back to the village warning the villagers that a metallic demon from hell had come to eat the forest.

Natalie had just been sitting on the floor, wiping the dried up oil off all the guns in the bag as she listened to the two of them talk. Her ears and attention perk up when Liatra mentions an Armory. "I will inspect the area outside. If you come looking for me then you have a built in function that shows my location. I will probably be gathering materials for a surface settlement too," Eres tells her. She nods and says, "Okay. I might come up later. I want to check out the Armory first." She watches Eres leave then jumps up and then rushes after Liatra, her Glock tucked into the small of her back, the waist band holding it snugly in place. "So this Armory? What all is gonna be in it? I'm an expert when it comes to weapons, especially guns," she tells Liatra, truly curious about what could possibly still be in the armory and if they could use it all now.

"Well, computer says all of the inboard systems are still working but I am not sure what is in it" That was a lie, she knew exactly what was in it and that it was all still in perfect condition. This being a military base it had just about everything one could imagine in there and she wasn't sure if she wanted this gun crazy girl seeing all of her toys. While messing with the electrical boxes outside she mentally accessed the computer and had it lock down and stow a lot of the larger toys. The only thing left would be some pistols, a few larger guns, some M16s and such. But most everything would be locked up for her. A shock went through her arm and the lights began turning on. It was a large armory capable of holding tanks or aircraft (and it did but there was a hidden storage base and she had the computer store these in) and so all that was left were a few weapons and what looked like a large empty hanger. She made it look like she was disappointed. "Well damn that sucks." she picked an M16 off a rack and heaved it up, tested it, checked it, and put it back on the shelf. "Well this room checks out. back to the comp."

Soon Eres had found some ores and consumed them for later processing. She then walked back to the base in the form she was in now. The whirring sound of her four mechanical legs could be heard throughout the forest. Then she finally got to the base and entered through a large door. "I am home!" She said with a slightly metallic voice. "I brought some materials." Her body lowered to drop a couple hyper-compressed cubes of materials. The cubes looked like they could weigh no more than 20 pounds but they weighed more like 400 pounds. Eres then walked to the others. "This is my bodies original form." She said and soon after turned back. "I came across humans outside. There are a bunch of them and they seem to live in the middle ages."

Laitra was now covered in grease from various work she had been doing all of the base but it was almost back in working order. "Nice work, what ores? we can use them later. and middle ages you say. Well again that kinda sucks but workable. If we have to live near them we had better get to know them before they scream demons at us. I'm just finishing up here, let me go clean up." She started walking for her room and paused as she reached the door. "Let's not bring any guns....I am not sure that it would send the best signal. She walked back to her room to clean herself up and change clothes.

(Sorry about the poor post. I wasn't sure what to write.)

"Yeah, I hope no one saw me outside. And my weapons are inside me because of my transformation. I will just make a suitable outfit." Eres said. She then grabbed some cloth and leather. Two extra arms came out of her back and she began quickly making a red dress with belts and straps and made a leather collar. After being done she change to the dress and put the collar around her neck. "I am ready."
