Charlie's thin body laid still under the comforter of his bed, room almost completely dark if it weren't for a dim warm toned lamp on his bedside table. His room is one of the few truly comfortable ones in Expansion Facility. The air feels cool against his exposed skin, carrying the faint metallic scent of ozone that permeates the entire underground complex.

His body was beginning to naturally wake up itself due to his very scheduled sleep cycle, he sleeps at 10:30 PM and wakes up 6:35 AM, Scarlet, his robotic lover who powers and controls the whole facility, makes sure of that. His alarm clock flashes its orange light, screen reading 5:35. As Charlie shifts, trying to spare an extra moment of sleep, a warm mechanical limb rubs against his back - Scarlet. The metal surface emits a gentle vibration that travels through his body like a soft hum.

She rubs as gently as a super machine can be, her voice sounding from the speaker in his room. "Charlie, you have to wake up, you know what time it is. We have to get your hygiene handled, clothes changed, fed, and pills taken."

Her monotone voice is gentle and lower than usual to make his transition from sleep smoother. Her warm mechanical limb carefully wraps around his body like a snake, gently pulling him to sit up in bed. The sheets slide off his chest as he moves, and he can hear the faint whirring of servos from the walls as more of Scarlet's appendages emerge, carrying his allergy and vitamin pills already ready on the bedside table to be taken with water.
