[finalities]

[carefully] Do you need help?

[optimustic]

I do not think there is any kind of help that I can use at the moment.

[finalities]

I see... are you... all right?

[optimustic]

... Yes.

[finalities]

What happened?

[optimustic]

...

[finalities]

Right. Awkward question.

[optimustic]

No.

This bot threatened a camper. I intervened. Unfortunately, this resulted in his demise. He will return soon.

[finalities]

I see.

[optimustic]

Do you?

[finalities]

No. But it doesn't feel like my place to be nosy.

[optimustic]

The matter has been dealt with.

[finalities]

Is he a friend?

[optimustic]

Friend and brother.

[finalities]

I'm sorry the fight ended this way for you.

[optimustic]

This fight will never end any other way.

[finalities]

Has it gone on a long time?

[optimustic]

Eons.

[finalities]

... eons.

[optimustic]

Yes.

[finalities]

What kind of robots are you?

[optimustic]

We hail from the planet Cybertron. We are autonomous robotic organisms.

[finalities]

[p-ping in the geek] Would you... can I scan you?

[optimustic]

I'm afraid I do not understand your meaning. Scan me?

[finalities]

Ah. I've worked with machines and my ability allows me to 'feel' how things are made up. It's a strange question, I know...
