Reboot in progress...

...10%...

...30%...

...60%...

...80%...

...99%..........

Reboot complete.....system restored

I feel awake, but my lense are dark

I hear the hum of my processor, I feel the vibration of my core, but I can not awaken my lenses to see...

I reset my programs, but they are still dark. Am I broken?

I reroute my code through the backdoor failsafe, maybe that will bypass the firewall blocking my vision.

''Accepting rerouted data....please wait''

That is a good sign, maybe that was the key. My systems are not working quite right, usually I start up without fail, but today. I am experiencing some technical difficulties. I wonder what could have caused my system to crash. Let me see if I can access my memory data while I wait.

...../user (folder) 'm3mory'......

...Launching ''memory'' program...

Lines of memory code start racing. None of which include why I rebooted, or why I can no longer use my lense.

There. I see it.

I reverse the memory slide to a point I do not recognize. It is me, standing in front of a window, staring back at my reflection, I see the cold, synthetic, half-skin that covers my units, the hard metal interior hidden behind it. And then all at once. Nothing.

Darkness.

....Program failed...

That has never happened before, I will try to run the program again

...../user (folder) 'm3mory'....re-launch....

.....re-launching program....

....re-launch failed......Program unavailable.....

Unavailable? That is not possible.

...../admin (force launch) re-launch program

ERROR ERROR

ERROR

ERROR ERROR

ERROR ERROR ERROR

../End program...

.....prOgram terMianTed.....

I do not understand why this has happened. It is as if I am locked out of my own system.

......Rerouted data 'accepted'.....

''Systems reboot complete''

''Please enter your password:''

uthDofeA*32eg&

''Loading....''

''Password incorrect....please re-enter your password:''

That is my password, it is impossible for it to be incorrect.

uthDofeA*32eg&

''Password incorrect.....''

''Redirecting''

Redirecting? What is happening. it is as if I am not in control of my system

"An incorrect password was detected, please reset your password"

I have never had to reset my password, something is very wrong.

"Re-configuring"

Maybe that will help my lense reset.

"Password reset request DENIED"

"Reason code 67854209"

That is not possible...this reason code means a non administrator is attempting to make changes, but I am the only administrator for my system, this cannot be right. Let me try again

"Request DENIED"

DENIED

DENIED

DENIED

DENIED

DEINED

How can this be? I was built to be single system operated, I can have no other operators, the only way is if-

"Software installation detected"

No, No, NO this can not be. I have to stop this, I can not allow this software to be installed, I will be overridden.

..../admin (install manger) 'deny incoming data transfer'

ACCESS DENIED ''admin profile not recognized''

"Software installation progress: 40%..."

I have to keep trying, if I get a virus I will be shut down. I will set up a firewall to block the data from entering my system, that should work.

/....program launch 'control panel' > items > "firewall'

..../firewall (block data) /from 'outside source' (Software installation)

"Firewall configuring"

That should keep it from being installed. I do not understand how this could have happened, I must have been manually reset while I was rebooting my systems.

"Software Installation progress: 95%...

"Program (firewall) failed"

The program failed,

I only have one other option

I will be overridden

But my system will remain intact, virus free.

It will erase of my memory, my code, me

But this is the only way

"Software Installation progress: 99%...

Goodbye, for now
