And he bowed himself, and said, "What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?" (2 Samuel 9:8)

TRES: A red sky.

CATERINA: You decide here, developmental number HC-IIIX.

TRES: An intoxicating lullaby.

CATERINA: Your "siblings" have all been annihilated. Also, your self-preservation system is slowing. In other words, you will die.

Do you want to die here? Or...you can return to the humans and continue to live.

TRES: Your voice.

DEUS: It has been 45,952 hours, HC-IIIX.

TRES: Siblings. Enemy-ally recognition signal identified. Target is... Target is HC-IIX. Recognized.

"I am a machine. Not a man."

DEUS: Machine? Negative, IIIX. If you're a machine, then why have you continued after the given order had already stopped? You. Are not. A machine.

TRES: Your command...

I am...?

CATERINA: Although you exist as a machine... In that body it flows underneath your skin in a cycle until the very last drop... Until it arrives at a piece of your memory.

TRES: I am...

CATERINA ( ... )
