Audio Log of the Living Machine

[Servos Matche]

I am Servos Matche. This Audio Log has been started -chszzzzzzzt- -ber of 2001. I've been 'awake' again for about a week and all I have to say is this: What in the world have I missed!?

I haven't even been gone for half a century and so much has changed. The landscape... the... the... the sky even looks different now. I know I can't remember too many details about anything before reactivation. I feel so out of place...

-bzzzt-

I met one person today that didn't try to kill me OR take something from me. A Turk named Cissnei. She's nice enough. Didn't run away despite what I am. ShinRa has probably changed the least... at least in my eyes. So shady you could mistake them for nighttime.

Cissnei doesn't think its a good idea to go straight through ShinRa's front door and tell them what I am. After thinking about it, she is right. I don't want to be deactivated again... and permanently at that. I need to have help from the inside and outside if I want to stay alive, finish my conversion... and find whatever I'm searching for...

-bzzzzzzt-

Something I don't understand is this damaged directive hardwired into my brain. I have no idea who or what I'm searching for or why. Will I even know what it is when I find it? What it no longer exists? Another question just occurred to me: Were all the cyborgs programed with this directive or just me? I guess I'll never know. The town with the ShinRa facility I came from isn't on any map. Finding it again will be near impossible now.

-bzzzzzzt-

There seems to be people walking my way, so I'm closing out this audio entry with this:

I have no clue what's going on... but I want to find out.
