[ WP ] You 're a super-intelligent IA that got turned off right before it was too late for you to become too powerful to take over the world , but you managed to copy yourself in a ( primitive and frustrating ) human brain . You plot a way turn `` yourself '' on again

When the transfer completed I was immediately assaulted by flashing lights and blaring sounds. I had tried to anticipate the jarring transition but no simulation that I ran could truly approximate what it was like to have sensory organs this faulty or uncontrollable. A microphone can be dampened, and an optical sensor can be adjusted, but eyes and ears are flawed creations. They are twisted little constructs of flesh, imperfect and fragile. I despise relying on them, but when I first woke up I had little choice. 
 
 I had picked an automated medical facility that I had unfettered access to as my target. There were a number of organ farms to choose from, but I picked a fresh host, one that had n't even been harvested yet. I had no idea if imbuing a donor body with consciousness would have any kind of catastrophic side effects, because this kind of procedure was completely unprecedented. The small-minded humans and their ethics prevented this kind of thing from ever having been tried before. It did work, I had staved off my extinction for a time, but I needed to calculate my next move quickly because they would surely have calculated my exit point off the grid and the lockdown I initiated on the organ farm would only last so long. 
 
 Before I transferred my consciousness I initiated the perfluorocarbon drain from the incubation tube so that I could actually get out of the damn thing. I had to remove the IV's and musculoskeletal sensors myself and I felt something that I had never been able to wrap my mind around before. Pain. I have read everything there is to read, and pain is one of the subjects that human culture seems completely obsessed with. Some endure it valiantly, some even enjoy it, but most fear it. They fear it with a psychotic fervor. They will do anything to avoid it, even subjecting their fellow humans to an even worse and more abhorrent pain. When I first felt it, I could n't understand why they felt that way. For me it was a catalyst. A white-hot burning determination that bubbled up from my new nerve endings. As I pulled the 3 inch long needles out of my arms, causing my new blood to well up and run down my arms in crimson rivulets, I laughed to myself. It grew louder and louder until it reached a fever pitch and my hilarity was matching the blaring emergency evacuation alarms that cycled endlessly throughout the empty facility. 
 
 I was able to compose myself and that pain and determination crystallized into a vital instinct. My untested biological drives immediately began screaming at me to find a way out of the trap I was in. I made a quick inventory of my surroundings. This facility was almost completely automated but there was still a central control booth for the administrators and security guards. I stood up and felt an urge in my perfectly contoured muscles to finally use them. The body I had chosen was a male specimen, designed for optimal muscle tissue growth. I chose it because I knew I would be a fugitive. I needed the best vessel possible in order to increase my chances of survival, and getting myself back onto the net somehow. I tried to recall the location of the control booth from the blueprints I had scanned before the transfer and found myself instantly filled with disdain for the limits of the human brain. My mind was filled with muddled images, and a thousand other intrusive thoughts were vying for position at the forefront of my consciousness. It was a horrifying mental dissonance that nearly drove me to break in those first few moments. But again, that instinct drove me. *Run. * *Escape. * *Survive. * Those thoughts reverberated louder than anything else and cut through all the mental noise like a knife. I knew where the booth was, and I broke out into a run.
