Chapter 3 - Chapter 3- Argos

Knowledge untold, quite literally built into him, flowed, words flowed thorugh his vision, no his HUD. 

[Argos X51 Awaiting orders]

'Argos...what is that' he internally wondered.

[Argos is the state of the art ASA- Artifical Spirit Aide. The X51 is the latest prototype built by Mas(*#RH#)@--------------------------]

A screeching noise resounded within what he knew to be his skull, like a bell ringing in his head.

[Built by The Mother, in order to aide you from here on out]

[Any other requests?]

The voice in his head, seemed a bit faulty but it was a pleasant one overall.

At least it was polite.

He put a foot down, from the bed, and stood. Turned out, he wasn't very tall, sitting at a height of no more than 5 Foots and 4 Ines, he was actually on the shorter end. By what definition he was short by? Records in his head, that he had never remembered learning, dating back a couple decades said so. 

[Translation Rune-------Ines=Inches]

[Translation Rune-------Foots=Feet]

The little boy-no-homunculus's face scrunched in dissatisfaction. Then let out a defeated sigh.

"A bit taller would've been nice"

The homunculus's ego, one he didn't know was there, was a bit hurt, seeing as his height was sorely lacking. He sorely hoped that the hoped that height standards for women had dropped by a feet or two in the last couple years.

[Do not worry young master, I'm sure there are women out there that like your personality]

"But what about my height?" he said, his Sapphire eyes slightly watery, a function that was apparently needed for a being that was no different than machine, on that didnt even eat or breathe.

[...] The Aide went dark

He sat back on the bed, covered himself up with the blanket completely. If one were to pay attention, they'd hear the whimpers of a 15 year old-no, a boy not even a day old.

That day, the first homunculus, sat in bed and cried, because he was short.
