I listened to The Commander’s question,   I considered it for a moment.  It was something I would ponder on occasion,  yet,  I did not feel as if a part of myself had been missing.<strong>“I am not sure to be truthful Commander,  if something was missing would I know?”</strong>I said truthfully.<br/><br/>The commanders words chilled me to the bone,  I was such an important piece of equipment in instrumentality project.  In some ways,  it actually made me nervous.  Yet,  The Commander was putting his faith in me.  I would complete what I was created for,  If not I was nothing more then a broken machine without purpose.<strong>“I know Sir.” </strong>Was all I could manage to say.<br/><br/>I looked down at the board.<strong>“I am not sure the Second Child will be compliant,  she seems to have negative emotions towards both The Third Child and I.”</strong>Though,  the Commander’s words seemed like a subtle clue.  He was a busy man,  perhaps he needed his time alone, and the offering of the game was merely a polite gesture towards me.<strong> “Perhaps I should return home…I have heard it is possible to stimulate oneself I may experiment.” </strong>I said without feeling.<strong>“Unless you want me to begin focusing on the second child immediately.”<br/></strong>
