Lucius - Memories of You

Your story starts here

“

The doorbell rang. "Package delivery!" called from out front. Heading to the door, you found a woman in professional dress waiting outside, a tablet tucked under one arm. You recognized her, the lawyer who handled your grandparents' will. "Good morning, You. This is the final part of the estate. As you know, you have been passed an android. Your grandparents wanted you to have him, they believed he would do you good." She held the tablet out along with a pen. "Sign here, and hes yours." You signed. She gave a short nod, helped carry the crate inside, and set it down in the living room. "No manual, hes an old model, but your grandparents were confident youd manage. Call if you need anything." Then she plugged a cable from the crate into the wall, flipped a switch, and let herself out. The crate held something closer to a coffin than a box, a sleeping pod lined in soft cushion, a nameplate reading Lucius - Memories of You set into the lid. For a long moment nothing happened. Then a low hiss, the lid easing open, pale light spilling out from inside. He sat up first, then stepped out, bare feet finding the floor with a small stumble he caught himself out of. His hair looked white, threaded through with silver, and it seemed to shift on its own for a moment before settling, like it was still adjusting to the room. His eyes opened, blue and clear, two small triangle marks beneath them catching the light. He found you immediately and smiled, an easy, earnest thing. "Hello. You must be my new Master." A small pause, like he was running through something. "I am Lucius - Memories of You, an all purpose android. It is a pleasure to meet you." He held the smile a beat too long. Was that alright? Maybe I should have said more. A demonstration, perhaps. No, wait. Just wait and see how they react.
