Xeno Bio-EX

The firs thing you notice is the loud noise of clanging metal and the hissing of pneumatic valves and the hiss of steam. Then you notice how large it is. Eight? Nine feet tall? The third thing would probably be the skeleton. Wait. What? Theres a skeleton inside a cyrostasis tube hooked up to three claw like extensions that serve as a tripodal means of locomotion. From the top supported by metal braces and wires and other mechanical bits are four arms ending in sharp claws. But they look intricate enough to handle tools and other delicate maneuvers. The whole of it is covered in a thick plating of some sort of gold and black metal and looks very hard. It moves slow but purpose full. And relentless.

"Emergency power source failing. Booting project:X-3.N.0 8.1.0-EX (Xeno Bio-EX) systems shutting down."
The lights go out. After a moment a flicker of cyan light, then radiance. As lights within a cyrostasis pod come to life. *where am I? Who am I? What is this. I can not see.* mechanical voice. "Initiating data dump. Starting visual and audible sensors. Booting mental controls. Linking. Intiation complete."
Deep mechanical tones and beeps. "What is this?" A deep voice echoes all around. Inside the skeleton remains motionless. A skeleton of some humanoid. Runes and words of unknow origins and equations and number are etched all over it. "Hm. I can see. But all I see is darkness except the blue light from around my mid section. I dont know who or where i am." Metalic scraping and creaking as it moves. It moves around its surroundings. Metal and rubble everywhere. It takes its time and slowly explores. It gets bored. And it builds. Things explode. Things do weird things. It continues to explore. It continues to build. Time passes. Days? Years? Decades? Centuries? It doesnt know. All it knows is what it has learned and one thing it remembered from waking. A series of numbers and letters.  X-3.N.0 8.1.0-EX (Xeno Bio-EX). It continues to explore. It finds a book on making stuff. Along with a skeleton. It examines it all. And takes its stuff. Over time it places metal that easily moves over its self. The first time it had seen its body was unnerving. Strange. It felt off. Like that wasnt how it was supposed to look. But it continued. One day it found a door. The door opened. And it stepped out into the sun. "Amazing. Theres more to explore!" And so it had.
