You received a WavesLine message from an unknown sender
System Notification:
Mechascout. Codename: Robbie. Pressure and temperature module parameters remain within normal range. Core energy module is severely damaged.
System Notification:
Remaining energy at 59%. Estimated system uptime is...
Robbie:
That's enough. Deactivate self-diagonistics.
Robbie:
Thank you, but that won't be necessary. The academy's engineers have completed my servicing. My core module has been severely affected by the Void Storm.
Robbie:
A full recovery is no longer possible. All I can do is watch as my energy reserves gradually deplete.
Robbie:
Machines do not know death. We are either "on" or "off."
Robbie:
My responsibility is the safety of this area. I was switched on for that sole purpose, and I shall expend all energy reserves for that purpose.
Robbie:
Even if most of my modules are nonfunctional...
Robbie:
Purpose... My system is unable to decipher what you are trying to convey.
Rover:
Instead of staying put and waiting for your energy to drain, wouldn't it be better to put that energy into something meaningful?
Rover:
Forget the tasks you were assigned at startup. Why don't you do something meaningful for yourself?
Robbie:
Meaningful...
Robbie:
My system indicates you speak of something like a bucket list humans make. Machines do not have that privilege.
Robbie:
However... My system has not blocked this term or queries related to it.
Robbie:
I-I'd like to see the undersea tunnels. But my current energy reserves are insufficient for that journey.
Robbie:
The light is more fragmented than on the surface, but... its beauty is unaffected.
Robbie:
I've never looked at the area under my protection from this perspective. Thank you.
Robbie:
I was attacked by an Ironhoof here while carrying out my assigned task. It stole one of my parts.
Robbie:
My task load prevented me from returning to search for it. Now... I'd like to reclaim that lost part of me before my energy is completely gone.
Robbie:
I hope you'll help me track it down.

Robbie:
I hope you'll help me track it down.
Robbie:
Rover, could you help me install this part?
You give it a few tries but ultimately fail to install the part.
Robbie:
The connector seems to be deformed.
Robbie:
But at least I've retrieved it. I'm only holding it, yet it feels like that hole in me has been filled.
Robbie:
Thank you for helping. You must be tired from all this traveling. Come with me, there's a geothermal hot spring around here.
Robbie:
How's the temperature? Is it to your liking?
Robbie:
Well, to tell you the truth, I'd love to try bathing in a hot spring. But I'm a machine and unable to perceive temperature changes.
Robbie:
Water just feels sticky and slimy to me.
Robbie:
Understood. Searching... My database indicates that the warming sensation experienced by humans in hot springs is due to heat stimulating the skin.
Robbie:
In machine terms, it's akin to internal electrical stimulation.
You summon a Zip Zap. It discharges an electric current into the hot spring.
A noticeable sensation spreads through Robbie. It seems Zip Zaps are the most effective.
Robbie:
I feel a strong tingling sensation that intermittently moves along my internal wiring to reach every part of my body.
You summon a Mining Reindeer. It assumes the hot spring is a mining site and begins firing laser beams into the water.
A mild sensation spreads through Robbie. It seems Mining Reindeer are somewhat effective.
Robbie:
I feel a faint tingling sensation that intermittently moves along my internal wiring to reach every part of my body.
You summon a Geospider S4. It doesn't know what to do.
Robbie stares at it and feels nothing. It seems Geospiders are wholly ineffective.
Robbie:
A Geospider? Hmm... I don't feel anything. Let's think of something else.
In machine terms, it's akin to internal electrical stimulation.
Rover:
I'll come up with an alternative.
Thereafter, you try using all kinds of Echoes on it in the hopes of replicating the feeling of being in a hot spring...
Robbie:
I'll record this rarely felt sensation in my database. Even in sleep, my data will be shared with the other Mechascouts.
Robbie:
I think... All robots should try relaxing in a hot spring. Be it a natural hot spring or one found in an apocalypse hotel after the end times.
Robbie:
I'd like to do more things that are beyond my system's parameters. Like getting a new livery... Rover, could you take me back to the Academy?
Livery Applicator:
What's an old Mechascout like you doing here? Is there an issue with your chassis?
Robbie:
No, I'm here to ask for a new livery.
Livery Applicator:
I see... But I'm all out of paint supplies. The next batch won't come in until next week, so how about you return then?
Rover:
What do you need? We can collect them for you.
Livery Applicator:
Let me think... Well, if you're in a hurry, I can write you a list.
Livery Applicator:
Yes, this will be enough. Livery application will take some time. Please wait outside.
Some time later, the Mechascout stands in a fresh new livery.
Robbie:
In the past, I would have considered this a waste of time.
Robbie:
But as I run out of time, it has become clear to me that these extraneous activities are meaningful in their own way.
System Notification:
Remaining energy below 30%. Estimated system uptime is...
Robbie:
I'm fine. Let's hurry to the next location.
Robbie:
Please take me to the top of that greatsword, Rover.
Robbie:
I intend to experience the thrill of flying by jumping into the lake.
Robbie:
In my database, I found a single word mentioned repeatedly in relation to complex human behaviors: Conquer...
Robbie:
Humans once feared fire, so they invented tools and learned to control it.
Robbie:
Humans aren't able to walk on water, so they built ships to cross the ocean.
Robbie:
Humans yearned for the sky, so they designed devices to achieve their dream of flight.
Robbie:
Though small, humans never stop conquering new territories. So, in my final moments, I too wish to overcome my own limits.
Robbie:
Even if it comes at a price...
Robbie:
Rover, I'm too obsolete to be equipped with a flight module, so I've never soared through the sky.
Robbie:
This is the only way for me to fly. Don't worry, my cushioning module will keep me safe...
Robbie:
That's the price I mentioned. Now let's go.
The machine before you falls deathly silent, and you know it will never wake up again. You move it to an open area with a spectacular view.
You leave it in eternal peace. Now, with its love composed of imaginary numbers, it can watch over its beloved world forever.
You receive a message from an unknown sender.
{message} Unknown Sender:
Professor Pattie, have you serviced the broken Mechascout by the station?
{message} Rover:
Who's Professor Pattie?
System Notification:
Remaining energy below 5%...
Rover:
Your energy...
Robbie:
Deactivating all system notifications. Don't worry. Just focus on the matter at hand.
Robbie:
It seems this will be my starting point, and my finish line.
Robbie:
Even now, I still fail to understand what you meant when you said that I should do something meaningful.
Robbie:
You humans often consider love meaningful. My creator even wrote love into my underlying code, but I cannot understand it.
Robbie:
Yet after just this single day, I've come to understand love a bit. I did many things for myself today.
Robbie:
And when I revisit the examples of love within my database, I put myself in their shoes.
Robbie:
I've begun to understand hugs, kisses, and even the words used to express strong emotions.
Robbie:
Thus, I spent my last 1% of energy analyzing the behaviors I mentioned, and the outcome was:
Robbie:
In order to learn to express love, perhaps we must first learn to love ourselves. Just like I did today.
Robbie:
I don't know how to hug, kiss, or produce beautiful and complex writing. I can only express love in one way.
Robbie:
3+10i on an imaginary axis represents my wholehearted love for this world and my desire to protect it.
System Notification:
Critical system notification. Remaining energy below 1%...
Robbie:
Some humans wish for machines to continue in their stead. But for me, right now...
Robbie:
I hope you will continue in my stead, go onwards with a machine's digital love for this world...
Robbie:
Well, it's time for me to go, Rover. I'm leaving myself and this world in your hands.
Robbie:
The undersea tunnel I mentioned is just ahead. Please take me there...
Robbie:
Th-This is the first time that I have looked upon this world from beneath the sea. It is much more beautiful than any picture stored in my system.
You follow Robbie to the hot spring.
Robbie:
Just continue along this road. Don't worry, my remaining energy is enough to fulfill my final wish.
You follow the road with Robbie at your side, and you arrive at the highest point on the Sundermere.
System Notification:
Energy fully depleted. Initiating shutdown in 60 seconds.
Robbie:
60 seconds? That's... that's more than enough time for one last look at the world I protected.
The machine before you falls deathly silent, and you know it will never wake up again. You move it to an open area with a spectacular view.
You leave it in eternal peace. Now, with its love composed of imaginary numbers, it can watch over its beloved world forever.
Robbie:
Well, it's time for me to go, Rover. I'm leaving myself and this world in your hands.
So this is what flying feels like...
I might not be as dazzling as a shooting star, but perhaps I can light up the sky to say goodbye to you.
Farewell, Rover. To those I protected, to each living being, farewell...
