When it happened, a wave of understanding surged through my soul. 
 
 It occured while I prepped food. My fish knife lost control, and tore open a flimsy section of skin. 
 
 It stang, but only on the edges. 
 
 Morbid curiosity lead me to look inside the dry'wound'. 
 
 A flashlight revealed that inside my left arm was a complex tangle of brightly coloured cables, motors. and most certainly not biological material. 
 
 They always spoke in the news about Reploids: Replication Androids. 
 
 Rumour said that they kill the original human, then, wearing an artificial meatsack replica, took their place. 
 
 Their motives were unknown, even to me, who apparently was one of them. 
 
 Reploids are often hated, though they tend to'disappear' when outed. 
 
 I grabbed some duct tape, and patched up my arm. I'll find something better tomorrow.

 I woke up with a start. My alarm clock buzzed, and I smacked the button on top. 
 
 I dressed myself groggily, some dim part of me thinking'silver'. 
 
 I put my glasses on, and tightened my nifty digital watch. 
 
 *Silver. * 
 
 *Silver? * 
 
 As I buttoned my cuffs, I finally saw the duct tape. 
 
 Then everything went nuts. My vision went red, and a targeting recticle appeared in my vision.

 `` Explain.''

 ``... Fine. Ok. I'd like an aide who can process large amounts of data and explain them in laymans terms.''
