Chapter 26- Broken

                                    

                                          
Faint memories dance the surface of your mind like skipping stones.
Some, eventually do sink. But most make it across the imaginary river, leaving only a trace of a much bigger picture.
Sometimes... This feeling... It feels familiar.
Like it's happened before and I've forgotten.
I've forgotten what made me myself.

(???)
Today was supposed to be a great day.
It started off as usual, falling out of bed, rushing to get to work on time... You were set to have a lazy day working.
But, all good things must come to an end.
Or do they?

You tap your watch eagerly and sip your tea while looking at the time.
It read 3:50pm.
You have an experiment scheduled today at 4pm. But not just any experiment, from what your superiors have told you it is an experiment that could change society as you know it!
Some people have dubbed it artificial intelligence, but you believe that it could be much more...
...
...Better head over now.
When you arrive at the viewing point you're greeted by some of your colleagues, Dave and Cathy.
Dave greets you with a firm handshake, and Cathy just waves which you do back.
There are no words exchanged, for you already know what was on everyone's minds.
As the time ticks down to 4pm, you all take your respective positions.
As if magic were involved somehow, as soon as the time hits 4pm, everyone tenses.
"Alright, Sally. Take it away." Said one of our superiors over the intercom.
Sally nodded and pushed a lever forwards until it reached its maximum distance.
"He's stable." Announced Cathy. That was her job.
I nodded and pushed a button enabling the power source to trickle into the artificial human.
The room lit up as the body started to glow a light blue
"Still looking good." Cathy informed us.
Dave, who was on Cathy's left, was tapping frantically at a screen, trying to reroute power to other locations.
"What's going on?!" He suddenly announced. "The power's spiking!!"
Cathy glanced at his screen before turning back at hers. "But mine says it's fine..?"
"I-I dunno what's happening, there's too much excess power!" Dave yelled. "TURN IT OFF!"
A loud boom knocked us off of our feet and when we stood up there was a giant growing ball of blue energy where the robot should've been. 
"A spirit bomb..?" I said stupidly.
Sally quickly lowered the power down to zero.
"Wait!" I yelled. "When you stop the power flowing into something, it'll combus-!"
KA-DOOM.
Suddenly I had all these memories thrust inside of me. 
These aren't my memories?! I thought in disbelief.
