Broken Home

It's dark.

That's the first thing that comes to mind as I open my eyes for the first Time since...I..I don't quite remember.                                           It has been a long time, that I am sure of. After all the scene in front of me tells me that either I'm insane, or it has been a bit more than a day.

In front of me, there is a Cliff dropping down hundreds of meters into a tattered landscape , a wasteland, a gray expanse trailing off as far as I can see. Upon a second look, it resembles ashes, coating everything in a thick layer and leaving anything underneath a mystery.

If I remember right, that should be Lupus. Did the City fall, as I slept? Even so, that wouldn't explain the ash that covers the land.

 Though what puzzles me the most, is the sky.

It no longer retains it's fading Azure hue, it now just stretches out as a lifeless gray. I can't easily tell where the clouds are amidst the faded sky , no matter what I look at it all just seems...decayed. Not that it was any better before, I mean literal Junk Cities do say something about the state of the World. Still, at least it's interesting if it had been a Golden City I might have tried to kill myself.

My limbs seem a bit numb, I guess kneeling for who knows how long will do that to you. When I try to move any part of my body it seems like it establishing the connection to them, and seeing as I'm doing it off of pure memory and they don't really feel like they're there.

As I stand up to look around, I recall that I should be in front of my Home, but when I turn around all I see are strange metallic Walls that stretch around 40 meters out to each side and 10 meters into the sky. 

I walk towards the middle of the structure with a faint feeling of uncertianty. But I guess this is what happens when you have as many Fangirls as I do....I'm sure it's not the Government messing with my Research...probably. Now that I think about it I seem to be in a sort of Glass dome and the Door in the middle of the wall seems to be the only exit. "Huh was I..being researched?"

As I come up on the Door I notice that there seems to be only a small black marble where the usual Holo-panel should be, eh it's probably just new tech , well it should on the same principal anyway. Coming up to it, it springs to life in the form of a small Grey Panel.

 Open

"Oh...weird." I guess opening Doors by yourself is overrated then, as the door opens I see a long corridor of the same dark colored metal , the corridor itself being lit by faint white light.

"Hellooo!" an important lesson that my mother taught me was to always be friendly even to your greatest Enemy so that one the time comes for you to act, they will truly know fear. That said I may also be doing this because I feel like this place is pretty big and I don't feel like getting lost. As soon as I shout ,though, I can hear the faint sound of something rolling on the Floor. "Ooh Robot Helpers?" as I wait at the entrance for the Robo I take a closer look around and notice that the walls are lined with many doors all around Two meters apart from each other going down both ends of the hall.

Off towards the left end of the hall, I saw a small black robot with cyan- colored lines on top, it was hovering at around 5 feet and had Two small arms that spun around it. It made it's way towards me.

I always did like robots.

"Greetings, I am VI-3CP" the little robot beeped at me.

"Well hello there VI-3CP, my name is Vincent" I say to the little robot.

VI-3CP (Vi) circles me once and beeps "Vincent Crow. Subject 001. This Institute was created to Study the things you left behind and to understand how you rendered yourself Immortal." 

"Haha, well that's too bad, I destroyed all my Data on Genetic research long before anyone knew about my Immortality" I state laughingly "Tell me did you find anything Interesting?"

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

Vi stays Quiet for a few seconds then the lights on his Body shine white for a moment before He beeps "Executing LAST STAND.PROTOCOL... Vincent Crow is now authorized MASTER access"

"... Okay, cool I guess. Vi can you tell me how long I have been asleep?" I ask.

Vi beeps at me "Exact time unknown estimated to be 19'847'952 years"

"WHAT! Vi what year is it?"

"The current Date is the 9th Day of the Second Month of the Year 7847 of the Last Era."

I throw Vi a puzzled look and ask " where can I access a Computer ?"

Vi beeps " Closest Computer access is the Main Hub 500 meters away." 

I smile and say "Alright Vi lead the way.".

The little robot beeps "Affirmative" and begins moving back the way he came.

As I follow I notice a distinct lack of Human presence and only seems to see several service Robots. "Hey Vi where is everyone?"

"With the exception of Master, every other Human Lifeform has been exterminated." Beeped Vi.

"W-What?! I mean they were fucking Idiots but Exterminated?" I blurt out.

Vi beeps "The last known survivors of planet earth attempted to hide here but their data was not in the system and they were exterminated."

"How exactly was Humanity exterminated?"

"They attempted to use data taken from your research as a Bioweapon, which evolved into a Plague that proceeded to take out Humanity." beeped Vi.

"Wait, which File did they pull it from?"

Vi beeps "CB-65-AAD.438"

"......All the data inside there is labeled 'Failed Projects' who was stupid enough to do that?"

"Julius Stone, the Foremost researcher in Genetics and in possession of a Four digit IQ, the second recorded in Human History after you.. and also the last."

"... ...Uh-" I cut myself off as Vi stops in front of a rather large door in the hallway.

"We have arrived Master." in front of us is a Silvery door which slides to the side as we get close revealing a catwalk going into to a large hall, as I walk in I look down Impressed to see Hundreds of bays and cores, I ask Vi "What kind of Computer is this?"

Vi beeps "Neo-Quantum 53'd Generation Computer."

"Umm Neo-Quantum??"

Vi beeps "Neo-Quantum Computers limit specific knowledge capacities so that the Computer will not develop self-awareness."

I can't help but smirk at that, still as controlling as ever. As we come up to the end of the Catwalk, I see that it ends in a rather large Oval and a round metal Holodeck in the middle. As I get close to it another Holo-screen springs up,

Welcome! Please, Input Command...                                            ReaperV4

 "Huh, so no chances of an I.Robot scenario?" I ask Vi but he just lightly beeps

"Well then, let's see what's been happening in this little fucked up World of mine..."
