I might fit what you're looking for. I'm a tall ship, and there's a chance my species might be artificial.

fourpartplan December 9 2011, 21:49:25 UTC

What, like...like a yacht, or something? Like a...an actual boat?

That's ridiculous, mate.

[Rude, Wheatley.]

statsraaden December 9 2011, 22:17:27 UTC

Yes, I was. A three-masted barque, to be more precise.

fourpartplan December 9 2011, 22:22:42 UTC

A three-masted...right. Okay. That's...

Are you sure you're a boat?

Hi Wheatley! I haven't seen Chell anywhere, but I'll let you know, okay?

fourpartplan December 9 2011, 21:52:07 UTC

[WHAT. WHAT. Hold the phone.]

Where did you get that?

memorymodus December 9 2011, 22:12:32 UTC

A friend made it for me! It's mine.

[ and you won't be getting it back, Aperture Science. ]

I guess you don't remember me, huh? You were at the same place I was, for awhile...

fourpartplan December 9 2011, 22:19:40 UTC

Can't say I do, no.

Was your, ah...friend from Aperture Science?

I am Cybertronian. My designation is Heatwave.

Has your comm been giving you trouble? Its user interface could stand to be a little clearer. [He guesses. He cheated when figuring out how to work it, so he shouldn't apply his ease to other people.]

fourpartplan December 9 2011, 22:01:28 UTC

Cybertronian. Cybertronian...

[Yeah, just give it a second.]

Nope. Never heard of you.

Trouble? Uh...no. Got it working, haven't I? Just sort of looking out for the rest of them, what with their...inferior human processing capabilities. Tragic, really.

babbletechno December 9 2011, 22:49:49 UTC

Cybertronian. Robotic organism from the planet Cybertron. I assume that counts.

What were you an AI of?

fourpartplan December 9 2011, 23:02:36 UTC

Alien robot! Brilliant. Exciting, that.

I am an Aperture Science Personality Construct. From...Earth. Very advanced.

You're not some kind of spy for Black Mesa, are you?

fourpartplan December 9 2011, 22:00:19 UTC

Black--Black Mesa!? That sorry excuse for a research facility!? You think I'm--

[Wait.]

Oh God.

thats_asbestos December 9 2011, 22:13:35 UTC

Alright, good, so long as we're on the same page here. What's all this about Apertures and Science that you know?

fourpartplan December 9 2011, 22:18:32 UTC

[Okay, so. You were totally dead before Wheatley was even an idea but. You are also a dead guy whose presence was very hard to avoid, what with all those prerecorded messages and pictures and other assorted crap.]

I--

You're Cave Johnson.

[SWEET ROBOT JESUS]

Does being artificially created count?

fourpartplan December 9 2011, 22:08:18 UTC

Mostly looking for computers, actually, but, uh...perhaps if you could elaborate?

hauntedbymemory December 10 2011, 10:32:38 UTC

Exactly as it sounds like. I am - or was, I'm not sure which it is now - a genetic experiment on immortality that was artificially created by a scientist as his greatest achievement.

fourpartplan December 10 2011, 15:20:44 UTC

[Pause.]

Ssoooo...not a computer.
