As your soul descended into your body everything felt off. The proteins your soul used to be part of didn't exist, in place was some odd plastics that felt like the flesh to your soul. As you were waking up instead of opening your eyes the message "booting up" was displayed and then all of a sudden in a flash you saw everything that was around you. You were in some sort of pod which sensed you were awake and opened up. Getting out you saw you were in some sort of lab filled with mechanical tools. There was also footsteps coming from an upper floor.
A middle aged man who was slightly balding came down and said "Welcome to our world new robot! How are you doing?"
You were happy that you knew what he was talking about since you knew that usually babies couldn't understand others and said "A little happy... confused... I'm not living?"
the man laughed and said "Sort of... You aren't exactly like animals or organisms with souls... However you are still alive and you have a soul... it's just less likely that you'll die...

Sometimes we get more souls than we can use and after we got the technology we created robots such as myself... in order to save souls for use when they are needed. When we run low on souls a robot such as myself can go to where it's needed and then die and get reborn..." you then started getting a little bit depressed thinking your existence was just waiting for reincarnation.
The man said "Alright your mind is working... and your motor skills should be good... ok so just a few other things. I'm Joe and this is my little workshop. Your free to stay here in your pod as long as you don't interfere in my buisness. One last thing before you go out in the world. Currently you look like a faceless mannequin and are without work. I've got a computer where we can skin you so you look like a regular living organism and get a job.. although some jobs would be easier for you to get if you looked a certain way... alright then just step over here."
the man directed you to a computer where you saw a body creation program along with a list of jobs. Looking around you decided too...
