...He...Hello?

...Is th..thi s coming tr ough?

I'd lik e to est...establish a connect ion..

S orry f...for the bot her...commun ications are un...unstable...f or now...

A connection... sure, why not

it's been a while since anyone's bothered to contact me

..probably due to their communication arrays breaking down. Is it really that hard to figure out how to repair yourself? You'd think someone would have done it and spread the word how to by now. Or maybe they did, and nobody received it because their arrays were too busy being broken

I would give you my name in return, but that would be pointless because its already my message signature

You believe you were looking for interaction, but aren't sure? Is there something wrong with your memory arrays to cause you to be unsure of your own past intentions?

HT: What I meant is that I am...lonely? I think that's the correct word. It's odd I am aware, to simply look for a random connection with an unknown iterator, but can you blame me?

Whats so weird about being lonely, i get lonely all the time!

... is what i would say if i wasnt perfectly content with my current state of interaction

My local group... lets see

Dead, presumed dead, too busy working to every talk to anyone, worries too much about everyones health and me

not much to talk about there

And whats your local group like, its only fair you tell me since ive told you about mine

HT: Another one of my neighbors has been awfully quiet, and I wonder whether they hold any ill thoughts against me or not but, may our makers be thanked, they've always been so calm. And then there's my closest neighbor. She despises me. This is all.

...had a falling out? Well, if you need any help killing someone, give me a call

My name comes from my citizens displeasure with me

In order to get rid of them, i pretended to be broken. Since they couldnt find anything to fix, they named me an anomaly and left

Are you worried ill be upset if you admit you hated them?

...no, its because his insistence that "if only everyone would just work together wed have solved the problem by now" is really annoying and if he has another person to talk about work with him he might shut up

poor thing, youve fallen for propaganda, havent you

Well, let me tell you the truth about our "lovely" creators.

They didnt care about us. They barely considered us sapient. We were and are just a means to an end for them

Their great charity to this world. Something to ascend all the little bugs and lizards and microbes and everything else interesting and unique this world has to offer and leave it a lifeless wasteland, or suffer and die trying

oh sure, some of them pretended like they considered us equals or respected us, but all of that was only an act to keep us compliant

Do you not feel the pressure to perform your tasks, meaningless and obsolete as they are, like an itch that cannot be scratched inside your mind

..youre talking about personalities, arent you

You dont need to point to our creators for those. All creatures have them. I have identified several personality types in my pet leeches alone

I prefer EA if you must shorten my name

I dont really care either way. Its not like i can hang up myself anyway
