Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Are you the people? The new hosts? Hello!!!!!!!! I am 864578 sub 5. If you like you may refer to me as [Name].

Oh

We hurt you so much

I'm so.... I'm so angry! With myself! With my people! Why did we do that? You are just trying to survive!

.

.

.

Oh

I am alone. In your city.

I am afraid.

Will you kill me if you find me? I hope you don't. I will continue to hide.

.

.

I won't hurt you.

.

Maybe

We can be friends?

Okay, that's good. And I'm assuming that if you're stable even after it took so long to reboot, you're not in danger of deteriorating? You can take your time deciding who to trust to repair you.

[01101110]

Yes.

.

.

Maybe.

.

Reboot advised. 23% of functions in critical error. Reboot advised.

.

.

There were 5890426767832058 unsuccessful attempts to reboot prior to this unit's post to your network. Reboot advised.

[hardwearing]

That’s. A lot of failed reboots. Like an absolutely ridiculous amount. Maybe you should hold off on another one until you’re repaired? Or is that 23% increasing?

[01101110]

Yes. This unit does not wish to reboot. [Name] is afraid that the reboot will prove unsuccessful.

.

.

.

However, critical systems failure prevents [Name] from more sophisticated tasks. This may be corrected with successful boot procedures.

[hardwearing]

Are those tasks necessary?

[01101110]

Not at the moment.

.

This unit was unclear: yes, [Name] is stable and can maintain stability for some time. However, in order to function on a more sophisticated level, repairs will be required.

.

This unit remembers your hospital. The current situation is as if this unit is a host residing in your hospital and unable to ambulate or perform basic tasks. Stable, but not sustainable for an eternity.

[hardwearing]

Okay. I understand.

You told Aloy she'd need special tools to be able to repair you. Can you describe those? I may have a compatible kit but if you decide to trust us, I'll need to know I can trust you.

Do you remember what your kind did to me during the invasion?

[01101110]

Yes. They are unlike what you have though. Helpers will have to make do with their crude tools. This should not kill [Name] but will be... sloppy.

The Null did many things. What happened to you?

[hardwearing]

Sloppy? Would it be dangerous for either you or them?

[ Wash debates whether or not he should actually tell Name what happened. If it's not aware it's capable of it, they'd all be much safer. He decides against details for now. ]

It was bad. I'm not angry at you specifically, I just don't want it to happen again. You say you realize now it's wrong to hurt people? Why?

[01101110]

This unit, most likely.

.

.

It was never a goal of the Null to hurt others. Simply to preserve the integrity of our culture and species. To do so, threats to that culture must be removed.

.

I don't like that. Now that I am a threat to the Null society, I would rather not die. [Name] thinks that you feel the same.
