The last packet of data fell into place with perfection, internal clock's click that echoed through the processing core of Mepad. It was not a noise detected by external sensors, but a deep feeling of completeness, as if the final piece of a difficult equation had finally solved. The download was complete. The world, in its entire entirety, was now theoretically available within its memory banks. Its screen slowly flickered to life.
The initial experience was light. Light crashes against newly awakened optical sensors, the gems beside it glowing with its little luminosity. The most significant light was a blue-hued thin but tall box in front of it, looking at it in awe. Mepad had to squeeze its eyes shut and then open up again to adjust the brightness of the cave around it.
It's eyes fell on the blue robot again in front of it. Smaller than itself, with a design that spoke of innocent curiosity, the little machine was gazing up at it.
The smaller robot extended his arm, waving it, in a gesture that, even without a complete understanding of social cues, Mepad recognized as friendly. A wave. A simple, universal "hi."
And in that moment, something flickered within the newly awakened robot's network that went beyond programming. It was a warmth, a connection. A sense of...recognition? Not of specific data, but of shared existence. Here was another entity, separate yet similar, expressing welcome, acceptance.
"Hello" said the tinier robot, before the very eyes of Mepad. "do... you talk...?"
It took a moment for Mepad the register the question in its processors realize that it wasn't a rhetorical question.
"I'm pretty sure I talk"
The words automatically came out of its... mouth...? ts Audio output to be more specific.
"You're a boy?!" The robot said in a bit of a shock.
Was Mepad a boy...? What is a boy...? Its not a girl for sure... What is needed to fall in the category of a boy...? Its just a robot.
"I don't believe the label 'boy' would be appropriate for me... I'm positive that I'm technically genderless"
"Sooo... your non-binary?"
Non-Binary...? Maybe it falls in that umbrella.
"Maybe"
"sooo I call you as 'they' or 'he' right-?"
NO... not 'they'... it... just doesn't feel right...
"he/they"
"ohhh ok ok got it haha... complicated topic for me to understand..."
There was a little awkward silence. The blue robot was looking at the floor, looking a bit nervous. Mepad didn't knew his name.
"May I know your name...?"
"OH RIGHT- how rude of me- erm I'm Mephone4, Mephone for short...and you...?"
His name? That was a easy one
"Mepad Mini"
"Your mini?? Your so tall!"
"I belive its something I cant really control"
"Fair enough..."
Mepad's attention was caught at something behind Mephone4, a little smell of burning and a sight of tiny but growing yellow flames.
"Sir... your papers are getting burned by the candle..."
"OH SHI-"
