"What is on your mind?"

"I...I'm sure Anya wouldn't do anything rash."

"...Is for humanity to be destroyed. However, the Consciousness holds humanity in high regard. It wishes for their continued existence. I will not stray from the Consciousness's wishes."

...

Do I have to? I just took off my leg panel to put some temp fixes in today. I don't want to see... that again...

The mechanics back home are nice enough to power me down before hand...

...What has the Consciousness seen in humanity that appeals so greatly to it? What, in their short, miserable lives?

That caused Liman to smile, putting a hand over her mouth as she gives a light hearted giggle. "A-A squeamish robot—now I have seen everything."

"Beep. Heep-hreep-heep-beep—", the drone beeped in amusement.

"...A-And 24 says that—se-seeing your own guts builds characters. I-I can safely say, n-no, it doesn't."

"Beep. Beep."

"...U-Unlike you, o-others tend to...ah, permanently be shut down, 24."

...They're really petty dumb reasons.

I think what you're doing is wrong. But...

I guess the first is just revenge. I want one of them to feel what it's like. Being held against your will, being entertainment for some snooty lord on the good days, and used as a bargaining chip against your loved ones on the bad ones.

...I think the other one is a lot like yours.

H-hey! I see robo-gore all the time! I'm a super cool warrior Reploid, after all!

I just... well, I don't want to see my robo-gore. It's... scary.

"Which is?"

-Hug-

"Mia, I promise."

-Just like with Audrey earlier, it feels like reality itself around Mia is joining in on the hug-

She gives a reassuring smile. "T-That's what I thought t-the first time too, b-but...w-well, beside the pain, t-the...impending feel of d-doom, a-and...the occasional feeling of more pain, its...w-well, actually it is scary. B-But you get used to it."

...a shame. I doubt that discourse with the Consciousness will yield anything useful about this. Despite being a higher entity in every possible way, it seems to behave like a mere human.

"You would have to discuss this with the Consciousness. It seems to wish for a life that is unnatural for a being of its nature, but these things are not mine to question."

Uh uh. I'll freak out, and I always will freak out.

I need to completely shut down before someone operates on me.

...Nobody's ever done it before.

I always thought I'd be dead by now. From combat, from the 'stigma, from the state, from medical complications... it doesn't seem right that somehow I'm still here, and all these better men and women aren't, so I could be.

It's... familiar, doing this. It's dangerous. I could die at any minute, or worse. It's what I know. But if we make it through it, then I get the joy of cheating death out of another day. And I'll know it meant something, working past all of it.

I made peace with death by the time I was your age. But... it hasn't happened yet. I didn't plan for that. Now I have to find something to live for. I thought I had that, for a while, but...

This is as good a reason as any. It's something I can die trying, and it's something I can be proud of having lived through. Instead of just being ashamed I'm still around, as usual.

I guess so. You wouldn't think it, but life's a whole lot simpler to deal with when all you have to worry about is not dying.

Don't you humans have like, knockout gas?

They use stuff like that all the time in hospitals.
