Ask Li'l Miss Marshmallow

It appears I have some time to answer some queries while my systems all initialize. There are SO MANY more, but I am starting up at 10X speed. It is... more than a little overwhelming. ...Notably... at least one of the strange errors plaguing me was still detected thus far. Why didn't the doctor fix that? Are they ALL still there?

who... who are you...

If it is time I should be destroyed, then I shall accept defeat.

My only regret is that I have not...

My friends...

THAT VOICE. That is my creator, there is no doubt about it.

Jeffrey is an enigma... he clearly has loving family of some sort, but seems distant to his father. Perhaps this has something to do with the total absence of records for Jeffrey in Master P's database? I strongly suspect that the doctor erased them himself... possibly to protect his son.

Either way... this is my chance. He is clearly far more powerful than I in combat. Now I have a choice: Either sneak into the lab to try to use the device on Kye, or sneak back to my friends and solicit their assistance.

I must impress upon you how humiliating this is. The Li'l Miss Marshmallow All-Purpose Unit does not "sneak" from anything, does not "solicit assistance" from anyone. She completes her objective unassisted and destroys any obstacle to it with impunity... She...

Perhaps this weakness is the price of "friendship"?

I must rescue Master P at all costs so I may end this nightmare.

I am... afraid.

I am afraid.

Question: JEFF! STOOOOOOOP HURTING 'ELLIE' MARSHMALLOW, LEAVE HER ALONE! He's just one guy, the weakest link of the Chosen 4 actually, you can take him, knock him down! Or do you think you can persuade him with your sweet personality?

He... has family trouble? This man has a FAMILY?

Okay. Keep it together, Marshmallow. This is good. He is very clearly the stronger combatant here, but whatever THIS is, it has stopped him for the moment. You have time to think.

He is Jeffrey Andonuts. He blasted through all of G̷̗̐̕ỉ̵̻͝y̷͓̰̯̑̋̐̚g̶̣͚̰̔͛́̿ą̵̖̈̐̑̉s̵̠͔̯̒͜' forces and then slayed the destroyer himself, and he has only gotten stronger in the intervening years... however many he has lived. It is impossible to tell with a Phase Distorter user. This "family" is a weakness. Exploit it while you can. You can still save your friend, you can still save Kye... if he is still breathing there in that lab.

I am... what is this? Have I truly become something more than I was programmed to be? I MUST save Master Porky, I MUST. I absolutely will not be swayed, but... but still. Friendship. I have discovered it, and I cannot let it go... Priority One: Rescue Friend.

I do not know who I am anymore.

Broken my programming...? That is not possible. I must...

The baffling allure of "friendship" seems to have seduced me. Distracting though it may be, my prime objective HAS NOT changed. I must rescue Master P. I am... certain of it.

...I am beginning to think it was foolish to say "I do not care who he is" earlier. Bravo, Doctor. He kept the whereabouts of his son completely secret from me. A mystery, for all the time I knew him. And not only that - not so much as a footnote in all of Master P's system archives. I tried in vain to crack into Andonuts' private files, so I had no clue he was...

Wait.

...Wait...

I DO NOT CARE WHO HE IS

....Hey what's that portal over there?
