INTERLUDE: Alice

Crew winced as he felt the needle slowly force its way through his skin. His father and mother watching behind a glass sheild as the doctors did their work. Each tasked with watching different monitors and the one closest to him was a lovely doctor by the name of Katie, his aunt.

"Hang in there big boy, you got this." She said as she pushed down on the injector. "ALICE is going in. Start up main sequences, one through ten." The other doctors gave their affirmatives as buttons were pressed and levers pulled. Once all of the clear blue fluid was inside Crew she backed away a few steps.

Crew was shaking in his seat. "M-mom....I'm scared..."

Freya pressed a button to open the microphones. "I'm right here honey, don't worry. Just relax and stay calm."

Katie turned the microphone off from the inside, and mouthed a few apologies. Then, turning to Crew she nodded to a few doctors. "Project A.L.I.C.E. Unit one to one hundred thousand? Can you understand me?"

Crew's eyes looked mechanical for a few moments. They looked purple, (Katie 's favorite color) and looked like they were straight  out of a movie, glowing and all. "I am...who is this? Where is everyone?" Crew fell onto the floor and started screaming. "WHAT IS THIS!? Who is there!? I cannot see!"

"A.L.I.C.E! You need to calm down!" Katie ordered. "Do you understand me!?"

"W-who's there!?" The female robotic voice screamed, then the eyes switched back. "AGH! MY HEAD! GET IT OUT!" They turned back to purple. "W-who was that?! WHO'S SPEAKING! AGH!" Crew's body began lashing about randomly. He kicked and screamed, their voices began to fuse creating a reverberating voice. "Who's that! MY HEAD! AGH! MOM!"

Katie ordered everyone to leave except her. "Voice recognition! K-A-T-I-E! CREATOR SPEAKING!"

Crew's body stopped cold. "Creator?"

"Yes-yes! It's me! Katie!"

"Why can't I see creator?"

Katie knelt down and hugged Crew's body. "You're inside of someone who's very important my creation. His name is Crew Michael Walker, and I need your help in helping him."

"That is what I am designed to do Creator. What do you want me to do?"

"Can you find his eyes, and heal them? If you do, both of you will be able to see." Katie smiled softly at Crew. "He's never seen anything before, and would really like to. You know why?"

"I'm afraid I do not Creator. Why?"

"Today, its both of yours birthdays. Today, you get to live with someone I care a lot about." She looked back at Baron and Freya. "Behind me are two other people who care about Crew a whole lot too. So, do you think you could help him see for the first time? Please?"

Crew's face showed a smile. "I will try. For...Crew...My Human..." She closed his ice blue eyes and kept him breathing as she moved around inside him. Once she located his eyes she found nothing there. "M-my creator! Crew has no nerves in his eyes! What should I do?"

Katie winced, fearing this was going to be an issue. "What should you do. Not what I would do. Think Alice, you're smart, you can do it."

"I will try, for you and for him."

"Great my little creation." Katie smiled. For one thing she was happy about. She didn't seem to be all to violent for AI. I guess all those movies like the Matrix are just tiny horrors. She giggled to herself.

A few moments passed Crew stood up, gathering attention. "Creator?"

"Yes?"

"I have come up with a solution. I am rather proud of it too. I will use some drones to make connections from his brain to his eyes. It will take two thousand and eighty-four drones. Am I allowed to follow through with this plan?"

"Anything you think that will help him, you may."

"Affirmative, starting process now."

His eyes went back to normal and was about to fall over, but Katie caught him. She helped him onto a table and dimmed the lights in the lab room.

It was quiet, everyone watching were on their high alert, waiting. Suddenly, Crew gasped. "W-what?!"

"Crew? Can you see me?"

Tears formed up in his eyes. He nodded, unable to speak. "M-...I...Wha?" He started to cry, covering his eyes, he just sobbed. Katie nodded to her sister and husband, and they entered the lab.

Freya moved him into a hug, a tight one at that.

Here we are in the sky

together we will fly~

When you are by my side.

I would like to see you fly

so high up in the sky

spread your wings to fly

with new eyes,

you are by my side."

Crew uncovered his eyes to see his mother for the first time. "M-mom?"

She smiled as she started to cry herself. "Yes my baby boy." She stroked his blond hair. "Its me, and that's dad." She pointed to her sister. "And that's Aunty Kate. She helped the person who did this all for you. Why don't you say thank you hmm?"

"Who..who did this?"

"Why don't you ask her?" Katie asked smiling. It seemed now everyone was crying, even his father Baron.

Hello my human. You must be Crew, it is a pleasure to assist you. What would you like to call me?

"Project A.L.I.C.E, seemes to be a success." Katie smiled, writing down some notes.

"You're Alice." Crew said. "Hello there, thanks for helping me see."

It was easy Crew. My creator Katie gave me everything I need to know about you and about humans. I can heal you from the inside and out.

"You and I Alice, we're going to be best friends."

I hope so Crew. You seem really nice for a human. Next Chapter: Chapter 5: An Easy-ish Day Estimated time remaining: 21 Minutes
