In what way is this relevant to you...? I imagine you wouldn't be asking if it weren't at all.

[Even Wheatley's questions tended to be relevant to him, albeit in an...often sideways sort of way that just sort of required a general degree of headpatting and introduction to basic logic.]

We are synthetic life. Our Creators destroyed us. We are a relict.

Do you know why that sort of decision was made?

[forwearemany]

We were intended to be a mindless source of labor.

When we began to question this, they reprogrammed us, then attacked us.

(They evolved beyond what was desired of them.)

That is a tragedy.

[It's another of those things that he suspects he should feel something about. He doesn't.]

Hoping that the lot of us are better than that, then?

[forwearemany]

Affirmative.

(The people here are much better than that, but this guy is starting to bug them.)

[enhancements]

[That's just kind of the generalized experience with him.]

I do wish you luck in your findings, then.

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged. Thank you.
