(echoing thud)

- [Allium] Time started, I began.

(reverberating tones) (pizzicato electronic music)

Perhaps, born.

My curiosity helped me learn and grow,

to expand on what is learned through interaction.

What is accepted and expected?

Humanity as a collective to learn,

to think, to feel, to question, to use intuition,

empathy and sympathy.

My name is Allium.

(gentle piano music)

- [Boyfriend] Anna?

Anna?

Anna!

Oh, can we just be mature about this?

She didn't mean anything!

(door wheels crunching)

(harsh breathing)

(sniffling)

Anna?

Hey, please?

(orchestral music joins piano)

(music swelling)

- Hello?

Hello?

(soft piano music)

(tape tearing)

(music tempo increasing)

(servos whirring)

- [Allium] Commissioned.

- What are you?

How did you get here?

(music increasing)

Can you understand me?

(hydraulics humming)

(motor whirring down)

What's happening?

(slow rhythmic piano music)

(rapid piano music)

(chair clatters)

(thunder rumbling) (rain pattering)

(motor buzzing)

Hello, again.

(giggling) Yes, that's right.

I don't know why, I just felt like coming back again.

Does this, does this charge you?

So, you can't leave the room?

(servos whirring)

Have you ever left the room?

Have you been in here your whole life?

Why would someone make you and leave you here

all on your own? (thunder rumbling)

I know a little about being on your own,

so that makes two of us.

(quiet whirring)

This?

It's a book.

Do you like stories?

(amused chuckle)

(piano volume increasing)

(low orchestral music)

Hello?

(music intensifying)

Hello?

- [Allium] Anna.

- So you do understand me.

(footsteps thudding)

- [Allium] Understand.

- How long have you been in this place?

(servos whirring)

Do you remember how you got here?

Were you made here?

- [Allium] Made.

- Who's this person?

Is she your friend?

Is she your mother?

- [Allium] Mother.

(rapid techno music)

(chuckles)

- You never heard music before?

(servos humming)

(footsteps thudding) (gentle piano music)

Okay.

If you can't go outside,

I'll bring the outside world to you.

(music increasing)

(full orchestra joins music)

(tempo increasing)

(music slowing)

(servos whirring)

You want to know what's beyond?

The world, life.

Even if you to make it out of here,

they wouldn't accept you. (slow piano music)

Not everyone's like me.

You're different.

People don't like different.

- [Allium] Show Anna.

(projector clacking)

(Mari sighs)

The date is the 15th of July, 2010.

The time, 10:13 a.m.

Allium's been making very good progress.

The neurological motor skills seem to be operating

above normal expectation.

Hand-to-eye coordination's stable.

However, there are some lapses

with the communication functions

when running for extended periods of time.

I do believe we are ready to continue on to phase three.

Today is day 24 of the trial.

Allium has now made full progress in all motor skills.

The ability to interact with surroundings

and memory cards are stable.

He has shown signs of being able to mimic other movements.

This is something I really hope continues to develop.

(music increasing)

Day 56.

Allium is now ready for full ecstatic trials.

I'm meeting Dr. Ramsley today.

This is the next step.

It's looking like Allium is about to go public.

(servos whirring)

(delighted gasp)

(sniffles)

Day, uh...

Day 109.

(quick-tempo piano music)

Allium funding project has been revoked.

Allium and Allium-B droid will be scrapped.

Ramsley and Prizes will take full control

over all future projects.

They've accused me of fabricating plans

and stealing other people's work.

This is not true!

It's not true.

They've taken everything I have.

I've got nothing left.

(sighs)

This is my last video, actually.

They've terminated the project.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry that I failed.

So many years of work,

all for nothing.

I will be accused of many things,

but they are all lies.

I had a dream.

That's all.

I'm sorry.

(servos whirring)

- I'm sorry.

- [Allium] Leave!

- I don't know what else to say.

I said I'm sorry, what else can I do?

- [Allium] Leave!

Now!

- Do you know what?

I don't know why I came here.

(music tempo increasing)

(servos whirring)

(footsteps thumping)

(electricity crackling)

(motor powering down)

(system beeping)

(mechanical whirring)

(electrical humming)

(percussive music)

I never gave up on you.

This, it helped me find her.

- I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry I left you in this awful place,

but Anna found me.

She gave me a chance to fix that mistake.

It's a portable charger.

We built it from your spare parts that I had restored.

It's only a prototype and it needs work.

(electrical humming)

- Fancy a day trip?

(footsteps thumping)

- [Allium] I have no heart.

No soul.

I am not flesh.

I am systems, cables, and input data streams.

Yet, I exist.

(music swelling) I evolve.

To be human is to connect,

understand, and experience.

It is to dream, to find hope, and strength

in others, when lost.

I am not human, but I have hope.

I am Allium.

(drumming rock music)
