>>Enabling [cam_serv.main_ofice.head_3] in video only mode.

And as soon as that was said, the camera feed appeared. I don't know how but somehow I know. This is it. An old beige box screen, a beige computer tower, a beige box with five floppy drives on a dusty victorian era table, and a big black cube with blinking lights on the floor to the right of the table.

That. Is. Me.

This is like some sort of wake up call. I am no longer human. That black box holds all of what I was, all of my memories. I have to protect this box at all costs... But somehow... I know that's not all. This is all of me right now but not in the future. In the future I can be bigger, have more servers, be smarter. But right now, it doesn't matter what happens, I HAVE to protect that box.

>>Enabling camera movement controls.

Suddenly, I feel that I can move. Not much, just turn ninety degrees horizontally and hundred thirty five vertically. So, I look around. The walls are bare concrete. There is some sort of metal plate right in front of me to the right. Floor is covered in dust. There is a metal workbench with a bunch of electronics to the left wall of the computer, and I'm in the far corner of the right one.

>>Integration successful.

>>Enabling camera mode controls.

Now I can change how I see. Infrared to see the temperature. (Insert a thing here) to see in the dark. And some sort of laser-radar to see the distance. All that added to normal camera mode that had bigger color spectrum than human eye, but I somehow knew what humans would see.

>>Integration successful.

>>Enabling blueprint map database.

Now I know where the wiring went, how the room looks in 3D and where the two cameras can see. Yes there is two cameras. I don't know how I didn't notice an obvious, old CCTV camera in the opposite corner but now I know.

>>Integration successful.

>>Enabling camera switch.

And now I can become that old camera. It is identical to the one I was just in. Turns out they even look the same. They are old-looking but in-fact quite new. Maybe the old computer on the table is the same? Oh! That's what it was. That sheet of metal is in-fact a shelf, full of electronics!

>>integration successful.

>>Enabling consciousness split.

Now I feel like I can be both cameras at once, so I become two. As I did that I can hear that the fans on the pc started. It seems like I'm truly running on that computer.

>>Integration successful.

>>Enabling other cameras.

Now there is many things I can become. So I do.

A giant office with all the furniture covered by tarpaulin and cans of dried brown paint stain all over the floor. Barren corridors with that all to familiar to everyone ceiling of removable squares and occasional ladders with one square on top of them removed. Hundreds of identical rooms with only a metal double bed and without any mattresses. Countless storerooms with half filled shelves and stacks of boxes. Many complicated control rooms with no one to operate them. Giant server rooms with no power from the incomplete circuit. Uncompleted automated machinery to do things from cooling the air for comfort to making oxygen for breathing. Rooms of sleeping machinery to make missing parts. Gigantic maze of air ducts with ladders, stop buttons near every fan, round hatches that can fully block the air flow if needed with pumps near them to pump out all of the air from one side and exits into every room to be used as maintenance corridors. And then there is the exit. A three meter high, one and a half wide, forty centimeter thick blast door with thirty ten centimeter wide titanium rods locking it.

And here comes the pain! Oh fuck, it feels like my head is splitting in two!

>>Integration error!

>>Lovering connection count.

Whew. MUCH better. Thanks computer!

>>You are welcome.

Wait, did you ju-

>>Raising connection count.

Whoa! It feels like I'm drunk! We're not finished here computer! But for now. Focus me, focus. There's twenty-eight million nanobots and I control about five hundred. Lets begin! Give me the iron!

Name: iron Symbol: Fe Atomic number: 26 Relative atomic mass (Ar): 55.845 (2) Standard state: solid at 298 K Appearance: lustrous, metallic, greyish tinge Classification: Metallic Group in periodic table: 8 Group name: (none) Period in periodic table: 4 Block in periodic table: d Shell structure: 2.8.14.2 CAS Registry: 7439-89-6

Iron atoms have 26 electrons and the shell structure is 2.8.14.2. The ground state electronic configuration of neutral iron is [Ar].3d6.4s2 and the term symbol of iron is 5D4.

Owwwwww.

>>Raising connection count.

Ooooooooh fuck. HERE WE GO! COPPER!

Thank you for that. A little bit of a headache but its manageable. Do you know, will it pass?... Computer, will my headache pass?

>>Yes.

So, you only anser very obvious and basic questions, but its a start nonetheless. Now, let's get this place fixed up.
