Slight twitching movements in fingers are the first sign of life the Jet Black Exo made. His programming does a self-check and electricity begins to flow through his wires. The reactor core in his chest roars to life for the first time since its creation and a set of golden beams shoot out of the metallic skull of the Exo. 

After a few blinks, the vision of the Exo begins to clear up as the binary code his eyes send to his motherboard was hazy at first. Creaking is heard as his he sits up and the joints in his body have not been used at all. His movements are tense, stiff, and looks completely unnatural.

He looks down at himself for the first time. All he sees is the color black and some bright reflections of his metallic plating. He decides to stand up but as his feet hit the floor and he moves forward, he falls straight to the ground.

CLANG~

The sharp sound of metal hitting metal is heard as the Exo hits the metal plated floor. He blinks a few times and realizes what he must do. Liquid begins to surge through his inner tubes and reaches all of his joints. The oil properly lubricates all of his body and he feels as if all the awkwardness and stiffness from before has completely disappeared. 

While being face first into the floor, he figures out how to get up on one knee and one hand on the ground. The stabilization in his head is off due to the lack of movement for some time. After about a minute, he is finally able to stand. He looks at his legs and tries to concentrate as hard as he can so he can walk. 

'Bend right knee. Extend right leg. Put right foot on the ground.'

The Exo officially takes his first step and is impressed with himself. He goes to take another step but mixes up the second part of 'Extend left leg' with 'Extend right leg' and he begins to tip over once again. The floor is coming at him fast but something inside of him clicks. 

He effortlessly saves the fall by going into a handspring and swiftly lands on his feet again. He can feel that something inside of him had turned on and drastically increased his mobility and stability. He closes his eyes and focuses his processing core on the complete inside of his body. With doing this, he is able to do a tuning of his body.

'Tuning, start.'

The list went on and on and had every detail of every inch of his body and how it worked but these were the important ones. He decided to investigate the surrounding area and it somehow felt familiar to him.

He walks over to the right of the room and found several workbenches covered in paper, metal parts, and even some items that looked like tools. He picked a tool that his motherboard told him was called a hammer. The long shaft was smooth and the top of it was heavy and made with a different material.

CLICK~

A loud click was heard and the hammer was surrounded in a small bubble. This startled the Exo and caused him to drop the hammer. He looked at it again and the bubble was still there and was slowly rotating. 

'Scan complete. Hammer: A hammer is a tool or device that delivers a blow to an object. Most specialized for each project they are made to accomplish. Whether it is to forge metal, dive nails, or even break items such as concrete or walls, these hammers vary much in shape, size, and structure.'

The Exo tilts his head as information begins to flow from a weird orb in his left eye to his motherboard. He looks at all the other objects on the tables and they are all surrounded by the same, rotating, weird bubble. The information of the items again begins to flow from this weird orb to his motherboard and the items range from Hand Saws to Miniature Particle Accelerators.

"Oh my, you are awake Seraph #0001."

CLICK~

The Exo does a small jump and lands in a position where his feet his slightly farther apart from before and his hands are raised into the air and looks like he is ready to deliver a karate chop to anyone who approaches him. His gaze darts all of the room and he is unable to find the source of the sudden voice. Finally, a bubble shows up around the several screens on the far side of the room.

He slowly shuffles toward the monitor on the other side of the room while staying in his "threatening" stance. He finally approaches the monitors and carefully inspects them. Before his scan could complete, the screen in the middle lights up with the face of a woman. Unfortunately, the Exo was in Combat Mode and was prepared to fight or die.

CRASH~

As much as he looked incredibly silly, his reflexes where inhuman as before the whole screen could fully light up, his fist was in the middle of it. The screen is obliterated into thousands of glass shards and electricity begins buzzing out of the now exposed wires. Even though he doesn't need to breathe, he lets out a sigh of relief and went out of Combat Mode. 

"That wasn't very nice Seraph #0001."

CRASH~

The voice appeared again and another screen tried to light up but the Exo put his other fist inside of the fragile screen. The Exo was back into Combat Mode in an instant as he was once again surprised. 

"I'm sorry that it has come to this Seraph #0001, but this must be done for now."

A large needle pierces the back of the Exo and his whole body begins locked into place with only his eyes being able to move. The screen to his left lights up and the face of an unknown figure appears and is smiling ear to ear.

"Hello Seraph #0001, this might hurt your motherboard a bit but you can handle it. Password, Mars2523."
