“Captain I don’t think he understands us or even knows what he is doing… he is probably just mimicking what he hears and sees out of curiosity

“You're right he looks like he has no idea what the words he is saying mean at all.”

With that in mind, the captain decided to spend a bit of time trying to teach him but before that, he had orders for his men.

“Alright boys I am going to try and teach him how to speak and understand us while I do that I need 10 of you to go see if you can find some food and water sources so we can restock, the rest of you maintain the ship and stand guard we have no idea what or who is on this landmass”

“Aye aye cap,” they all said before getting to work.

3 weeks later…

“I think I'm starting to understand.”

the captain could be seen sitting on a stump looking at 115 in disbelief and what was currently happening… he had said he was going to try and teach him but in all honestly he had no hope for 115 to learn anything he said as he was no a teacher and 115 clearly had no idea about the concept of language before they arrived.

“Can you repeat that?” the captain asked with his mouth wide open

“I think I'm starting to understand.” the voice said again, the voice is 115 of course.

“You… I am at a loss for words, I've been speaking to you for a few hours and you have said nothing since you tried to mimic us, now all of a sudden you can form a full sentence without any issues.

“What is wrong with that?” 115 asked in confusion.

“...Nevermind, now that you can speak and understand me I have a few questions if you don't mind me asking.”

115 nodded to the captain to continue. “Do you know anything about this landmass? Like where food and water are? also, why are you the only person we have seen?

“I'm not sure I understand your first question, Captain.” 115 started calling him that as that was what everyone else called him which prompted the captain to look at him and say

“Call me Aaron that’s my name and what do you mean you don’t understand? Like you learned to word food from me since I've said it quite a bit right?”

115 nodded and the captain continued “Alright let me rephrase the question then, do you know where something to eat is like something you put in your mouth and swallow so you don't starve?”

115 still looked confused as he knew the words and what they meant but he had never needed to eat or drink himself so instead of answering he responded with a question of his own.

“Why do you guys need to eat or drink? Like I understand the meaning of it but not why it is needed, also since you told me your name just call me 115.”

Aaron looked confused at 115 for a few seconds before responding. “Do you not need to eat or drink water? Also, 115 is a weird thing to name yourself but alright..” he said while staring at 115 intently.

“...No, I have never had to eat or drink and what's weird about the name?”

He looked at 115 trying to find any hint of him joking or not but came to the conclusion he was dead serious and also decided to ignore the question about why the name “115” was weird.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

“How is that even possible assuming you are human like us which you appear to be you should feel the need to eat, drink, sleep, etc…”

115 looked at him somewhat surprised and said. “I've never needed to do any of those and while I do sleep that's more so because I have nothing else to do during nighttime.”

Aaron’s eyebrows scrunched up as he thought about what 115 said, I mean to him it just made no sense 115 looked like a human in every way, shape, and form there was nothing different about him and Aaron other than 115’s weird naming sense and the fact he does not need to fuckin eat anything.

Looking at 115 not sure he wanted to believe what him, Aaron decided to save this conversation for another day and get back to the question he asked earlier as they were in desperate need of a food source.

“Anyway, back to what I asked before do you know of any food source like any animals or plants we could eat anywhere around here while you might not need to eat we sure as hell do so unless you want to see us start eating each other point towards something edible. Aaron said jokingly

“Would you really eat each other?...”

Seeing as his joke flew right over 115’s head Aaron just moved on and asked again to which 115 just said “I can’t say anything about plants as I have no clue since I have not tried to eat them but as for animals… If that answers your question, I have not seen one in my entire time here.”

Aaron hearing this just sighed and said. “Alright forget I even asked… there should be something around here I refuse to believe there is no food of any kind close by.”

With that said he stood up and walked back towards his crew leaving 115 to his thoughts.

‘Maybe I should try and look around for a food source there is still a lot of the forest I have not stepped foot in and a lot of plants I just left alone because I did not know what they were.’

Considering that 115 stood up and walked into the forest by himself towards a place with plants he remembered seeing a while ago.

While 115 was in the forest the crew back on the beach was having a meeting to discuss what they were going to do about the food shortage and how they were going to make it back home.

“Captian what are we going to do? It’s been three weeks and will still have yet to find any signs of life other than 115.” one of the men said having a look of worry and slight dread.

Seeing the looks on the faces of his crew members Aaron knew had had to get their morale up somehow.

“Alright boys listen up,” he said while pausing to gather his thoughts. “We are going to make it out of here and I know for a fact we are going to find some food, think about it this landmass is twice the size of the land our empire sits on not to mention all the plants around, its simply impossible for there to be nothing edible on a landmass this big.”

Hearing this everyone relaxed a bit and decided to believe in their captain.

Seeing everyone had calmed down and looked relaxed Aaron turned around before noticing that 115 was gone.

115 could be seen walking threw the forest, he had already been walking for about 3 hours now and had finally reached the location he was looking for.

Coming to a clearing in the forest a rock could be seen in the middle of said clearing or more like a boulder with how big it was. Next to the rock, a bunch of plants that looked somewhat like a flower could be seen it had a thick stalk that stuck into the ground, above the stalk a bunch of pink-like petals could be seen.

115 Seeing the plants were still there walked over to it and crouched down, looking at one closely he thought to himself. ‘This does not look like something someone would want to eat..’

Picking the flower from the ground he brought it closer to his face to look at it closer, while doing so the smell of the flower entered his nose causing his face to light up with a look of surprise.

‘Wow… this smells… good…’ he thought while taking sniffs in-between. ‘Maybe I should try to eat it?’ He thought.

Picking one of the petals off so as to not eat the whole thing he stuck one in his mouth and a whole world of flavors he did not even know existed entered his mouth for the first time.

But before he could really try and enjoy the flavor 115 bent over in the fetal position and grabbed his head, it felt like someone had taken a big rock and started pounding it to the back of his skull.

“F-fuck… what was that?” he thought to himself before he got his answer after hearing a voice inside his head speaking.

“Subject 115 initiated the Protocol, starting the download sequence.”

And then everything went black.
