Author's note: I made this, to give those who are interested a slight impression of what
              happened to Skuld during her time in the laboratory.
              For the ones who still don't know her, Skuld is a  personified Cosmic
              Monolith and one of my favourite OCs.
              To give you more insight into her still developing personality,
              I wrote it from her perspective, like some kind of diary.

I never tried to write anything serious in English before, so please have mercy...

Alessandro isn't there today. They said he "got sick"... as far as I know, that's some kind of infection when a human's internal defense against harmful microbes fails. I hope he will be okay and doesn't suffer much. Without him, everything seems so empty here.
But at least his advice seems to have done something. I've been gradually adjusting my behavior and body language, my expressions and all that, and experimented with them. It was a little rocky at first, but I've stuck with whatever got me the best results. I've also started faking progress with revealing my authorization code, which I could do even better when I was granted the request of continuing my routine expercises in the virtual space without Alessandro until he returned. It gained me more freedom as their confidence in their control and my 'cooperation' increased.
Right now, I'm wandering around the hallways, acting "bored to death", as the humans like to say. I'm waiting for the right time and studying more of the security measures, all while trying to improve my performance. My internal repairs are complete by now. Hopefully, no one will zap me again. The mood is weird somehow, in a way I can't put into words. Like a sense of foreboding. I guess I'll return to my cell and play videogames for a while.

........................                               .........................                                ........................

It's no use. I've started wandering around again before long. I miss Alessandro and the fun I have when I'm together with him. Curse it, I shouldn't become dependent on anything or anyone. The sense of foreboding has become stronger, it nearly feels like a physical pressure lasting on me. And I'm still clueless. But there is a silver lining to the situation: Me showing that I miss Alessandro is just another piece falling into place of them thinking they've figured me out and conditioned me to act as they wish; they think I'm attached enough to Alessandro to adjust to human behavior. What they are conveniently overlooking is that I don't feel a moral obligation to treat all humans the same. They are not the same. I like one human. MY human. The others here I will blast into oblivion without a care...no, wait. Not without a care. I do care, because revenge will be sweet.
A tremor and loud noise in the distance interrupts my pondering. Explosions? The alarm is going off while  people are starting to run around yelling. Let me investigate this quickly.

........................                               .........................                                ........................

Alright, if that's not funny timing. A lab accident. They were experimenting on something...possibly a new device they can torture me with, who knows. Either way, it's my opportunity at last. Confusion and chaos all around - it will make for an excellent diversion. People are passing me without giving me a second glance, running towards the site of the accident.
Now or never. And since Alessandro isn't here, there is no risk of hurting him. I didn't think his absence would actually turn out to be a good thing. I'm already in the systems, and know the loopholes in the security. Little do the humans know that the alleged "authorization code" I slowly revealed and acted like it had power over me is in truth part of a code to substitute myself as the system admin instead. The next moments will turn the tides...soon I shall be free again.
And the next one for today. Things are progressing^^
So, enjoy. Feel free to ask questions or comment, feedback is always appreciated.
