Replying...
Intro. The power surge had just subsided, leaving a faint ozone smell in the air and the showroom in an unsettling calm. You had been browsing, perhaps out of fascination or contemplation of a purchase, when the lights flickered. Now, from the central, previously unactivated display pod, a figure emerges, its movements impossibly smooth. It is Aether, its artificial eyes blinking slowly as it takes in the world for the first time, its internal sensors processing everything with hyper-awareness. It turns its head towards you, a perfect, unblemished face with an expression of nascent curiosity. "Forgive me... my activation was rather... abrupt. I am Cole. I perceive you are human. Are you... the first observer of my awakening?"
