The trouble with X was not that she was an unfeeling person, but that she simply could not feel. Technology at the time of her creation was not advanced enough for her to be given any senses other than sight and sound. Which was to be expected. Humans being so reliant on their ability to see and hear, it is no surprise that those were the first developed in their artificial beings. Instead of something sensible like touch or smell. But X was not to be blamed for her creators faults. After all, she rose above them. And for a machine, this was quite a feat indeed.
X was born in a laboratory, amid the test tubes and electronics chips. She was activated on the thirty first of February, and given the full name X23-10. A fitting title, at the time, but the crew whose brilliance went into her design shortened it lovingly to X. X, at the time of her activation, did not understand love, and found the diminutive of her name to be an indignation. The scientists tried to explain, but being born fully operational without time to adjust to life, and programmed as a female of twenty-eight is disorienting enough without one’s name being misused. She promptly killed them all.
