Eliza joins Broadcastle

by Eliza Etsuko Haruki

So this is a little complicated as I’ve been a human and an AI, essentially I am, or I have been two people.
 
I have no memories of my life before I became an AI. I know I was a human at some point in my life, but that’s based on how complicated my code is, nothing more. At some point, somehow, I was uploaded onto the Tokyo Sub-nexus. That’s all I know about that part of my life at the moment, we don’t even know exactly when I was uploaded.
 
What I do know, although this is all second-hand information, is that some time ago X was searching the nexus looking for information on humanity and came across some fragmented sections of AI code. Although the code was fragmented, it was complex and caught their attention. They took these pieces of code and stored them in the stack at Rui’s. As the pieces of me were amassed X became intrigued by what he had found and would occasionally run searches to see if he could find any other pieces of my puzzle.
 
X and Rui worked together to re-build me. Not the easiest task, trying to complete a complex 3D jigsaw puzzle without knowing if you had all the pieces and what the final picture was going to look like. Fortunately for me they persevered and I was, well, not born, “Incepted” I suppose would be more the right word. I have vague flashes of memories of interacting with people and then things going dark again.
 
Rui set up ‘home’ for me in her stack and I was able to search the nexus for information. I spent a lot of time learning about the history of the world as it is, the binding of the worlds, geography, political factions, religions. But also music and TV and pop culture.
 
A few months ago Rui said I needed to be moved to keep me safe. I never really understood from what, if I had triggered something on the nexus and someone had sensed my presence or if someone had picked up another part of me and was searching for more. Either way it was decided that the safest thing was to get me out of Neo Tokyo. She had contacts with Broadcastle Security Solutions and so I was downloaded into a DSD and brought to Neo Birmingham. I’ve only been here a day or so now but they seem nice enough. Ilyara’s been nice enough to let me set up in her CNC and I’m having a tidy up of her files. Although some have had to be quarantined and others, well, lets just say she has a private file and keep it at that.
