130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkKzfrNU1R
You there… oh, yes, I can speak, if that is what is puzzling you… I have not always been able to, though… but, then again, I have not always looked like this…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iPkdv4SCf
What, you wonder, I have looked like? I can, sort of, read minds, you see… well, it is nothing especially different… I just looked more realistic…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7FHEiH7F
I mean… do I not look like some stuffed toy? That is because of what happened, at some point… same juncture in which I could suddenly speak, too…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FvxPpg1MB
It is not like I could not communicate before, but mostly with… friendly relations… now, though, it is as if all such barriers were broken through, curiously…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0aVknLnd2
I used to be able to fly, too… now, I can only seemingly crawl on the ground… like a worm… I still have wings, but they seem non-functional after this alteration…

Echidna:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c9IORjx1t
Ah… these spikes, you reckon? Sadly, they do not quite have the same impact, anymore, since I became this… soft creature, however… sad not for others, maybe…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp1U3rKaOm
Yes, though, I do not quite understand what happened back then… we were all living so merrily here, and then suddenly… activity stirred on the edges…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzd0dDTak4
Kind of like the edges of my spikes, I suppose… but not quite. More, then, the edges of… sanity? I do not quite comprehend, myself — ever since then… artificiality.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIarGy1Vgyt
I might not be making much sense to you, being a creature of seemingly general traits, but to me physicality is of certain importance, you see… so, I am a bit deflated.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo7MV4Oru2
Still… at least we are still alive? I mean, that is the point of evolution, which gave us all these physical tools… so, as long as no one ambushes us, or such…?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKx78gpAwZ
Death:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqjJbnsQpJ
I… am… bringer of cessation… but not for the hard surfaces who move over there, they merely rust and fall apart… hey, how even are you able to see me?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr5M5qFJ3x
I should not be seen under the usual conditions… if this is not the usual, then I wonder what is happening… (could the titans of animalia be asserting their…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMVwlhdM6X
…existence once more?) Fear not, though, for I am not here for you, or anyone nearby… I think. I… was merely passing by. so rest assured… just…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMgd4DLcot
Can you not tell anyone you saw me? I am not sure if anyone else can do similarly, and I do not desire to cause a ruckus… I think. So… yes, anyway, be well, and such.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGVQDMfW5H
I am still visible? How… I thought my capabilities for camouflage were the least I had! Someone must be interfering with my inherent potency… I think…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXncE7Rypux
Existential robot:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5v0KsZ5Xk
Ah, hello there… yes, as it happens, I prefer this arid piece of land, as opposed to the fruitful, verdant thing over there… why? Maybe my constitution, who knows…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41vpTjxYyM
What I do know, though… is that I seemingly appeared out of nowhere, here… now, I am not exactly sure why, as I never visited this little place, before… so, why?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxHeCWNYli
I mean, aside from spontaneously coming into existence here, apparently… I have the freedom to wander around a slight bit, here… I suppose, I can go over there…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhORYCe3da
I, just… prefer to be here? If so, I wonder, are our preferences truly our free will, or merely an illusion of choice? Truly, the mysteries of existence, I ponder…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPscDKUkzx
Oh, you wanted to know my relation to the town and its inhabitants? Unfortunately, I do not seem to consciously know what, if any, there is; although, since I am here…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRja1J9FtJw
Small robot:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIECaNCIqf
Why does this… grass, is it? Tell me, if you happen to know, why it feels so different from metal? Why are such substances so substantially distinct? Since I arrived…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePhpWreWUt
I have been wondering this… I come from a place which is made entirely of various metallic coatings, you see, a world where we are one with it…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6OrvhOBsN
Due to the universality of materials… this world is not alike, though. This is why I wonder… even that town over there seems to be made of a variety of substances…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe9xDrVmBz
Ah… you were, regardless, wondering why I am here? Well, the mighty feline could fill you in, but… I shall say, it is an observation… of sorts… you will see…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0SVw7bI9e
Why is everything in the universe not merely made of the same matter? Would that not resolve this issue with incompatibility, or deprecated versions, or… not organic?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibVKfRC38k
Sad robot:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlgTQf5HxZ
You… want to know what happened here in the past, is that correct? Why we are here on the edges of this apparent idyll? Why everything apart from us, ironically, is…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzkZNSsgid
…so artificial-looking? I shall put my cards on the table here, at least my slice of the pie, per se… well, it began a long time ago, although not quite ancient eras.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThvmabWfkM
Reality, you see, can become inverted… but, then again, does it matter when even physics is not fully known? What makes this one real, or not…? A conundrum, if so…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCF0liHnO2
Long story short… what is nature, what is nurture? What is artificial, what is natural? Sometimes all is not distinct, absolutely separated; yin has yang… remember.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZUv5Tj1F7
Ultimately, though… does it matter? All I want to do is look out to an endless abyss… why am I even here? Why is anyone…? Oh, woe is me, but they have it worse…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPApCrLHXr
Mushroom:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxfRQmVk0h
I… did not even know I could move around, usually, let alone communicate… besides with those of my species… there is always this link, you see, as we are connected.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7nxFR0bId
Suddenly, though… a while ago… actually, I wonder how long ago that was? Well, suddenly, at any rate… the world was open to my exploration… not just the vicinity.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDjkatTN8G
I suppose, we have always been different from mere plants, being kind of more mobile, but not quite as much as other beings… just blown spores, and such…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXyZtOZbAe
Well… let us just say that… we can kind of grow unexpectedly, where rot is more the norm, especially those that ooze ink; in terms of this town, though, I am alone…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxRmXWLgIZ
I mean… it is interesting to be able to perambulate, and all… but what use is it when I actually get my nutrients by being connected underground? Defeats the purpose.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64W3kKZFzB
Fennec:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoCp0RAQoU
Why did I ever turn into this cumbersome form, really? I was so much more agile… and, now, this? Everything else changed not, but ourselves… and who are those yonder?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcsDsNgGCl
My apologies… you might, perhaps, not realize what I am talking about, for anyone not from this abode might be oblivious to our sudden plight… I shall explicate…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUBK82Z6SE
I… might look like I come from some fictional cartoon, a fox created to merely look funny, but in reality something… encompassed this town, here… and here we are…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mADQ4iweo
So… I wonder if it is some cruel joke made by some very odd creatures, indeed… and if foxes bet on anything, it would be that it was those over at the edge…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuKvaxc3SZ
I certainly would not mind going back to my former, glorious… sly, self… not to blow my horn too much, but my fur was shiny… now, it is just… glossy? I sigh…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr0NRVkcHH
Antelope:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4gO1oxk3M
I used to roam around all these green plains… happiness filled me, then, aside from when tragedy strikes, I suppose… but now… what is this? Cogitation? Agitation?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Yurb7k75
What I mean is… it does not seem as instinctive, anymore… it used to be so much more free? I know this makes little sense to outside observers… but it just happens.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbPsH5El4l
Could it be… another realm? Not so much physical, we are still here… but psychologically, is it? Perceptually, of course, it is subjective… so, difficult to prove.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDhlDiAPvN
Wait… what if we use sensors, and objective testing data? Ah… that might not be possible here, being an idyll and all, and not a laboratory… still, theoretically…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFrmnm7i7f
I know, I make little sense, but since I can communicate I thought I would freely voice my newly found patterns of thought, or such… well, one can always try…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iu19WANaP
Orang:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiye0LP6PdG
Ah, you are new here… yes? Well, I do not usually tell anyone, for I prefer to keep to myself, but you see, I did not actually change much, myself… that is…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8arZt7FlHo
I am usually kind of sombre, and I remained so… the difference is… I feel more compelled to voice this, for some reason… and since I normally reside around…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfedFl29Ejh
These parts… so, I remained… despite the fellows over there, for some reason keeping watch… they never approach us, but it is still strange for them to stay there.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo87cdufuCE
The others are even more wary of them… some think they are the cause of our alterations, others seem about to believe that they are, almost, a portal to another world.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeetgZdJm4
Personally… I think the world is full of variances, and so, just as we are… usually… real-life species… they are, well, mechanical? I think that is the word…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4OwfOxeQc
Dragon Blue:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXse3E0OK8
Why… have you come here? Oh, you think you can ask me the same, do you? Well, I presume you already have that answer from the others you must have spoken to…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALnuwAzHBK
With regards to yourself, though… you are the unknown variable… all the other machines here can, on average, calculate what their presence will change, mostly…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbfLGDFCFm
Not taking into account chaos theory, of course… but, as you are unknown, we can not… I shall clarify a few things further, if you so wish, though…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lsBMAK8Ry
I am… well, you shall know soon enough, but I will just say that I derive from a primordial source that also constructed psyches… not that they were not evolutionary.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMxkNqtFYz
That is… evolutionary pressures created consciousnesses suited to their environments, while my kind… as we reside in the ethereal realm, usually, did not diverge…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOgZsiOOEw
Much, that is… there are others like me, and unlike me… a wise tree, a mere shadow underneath a waterfall, a felid discussing proteins for some reason, a lost soul…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ337i5JcIx0
All derived from the same, archetypal substance… but, as with evolution, still diverged in form and function… but not due to environmental pressures, mostly…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0lz4ZBWT3
As we do not, exactly, pertain to this physical domain… well, enough about myself, for now… I shall enlighten you about the difference between machines and organic…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Od49hwKh
That is… the difference between the creatures in central town, and those on the periphery… verily, everyone always assumes they are so distinct, but are they?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWXkPcbbYi
The difference is, mostly, in perception… while many assume machines do not inhabit consciousness… well, one must also admit that it is not so well defined…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHrTAaBLdi
It is… actually, what my type is studying, from our venture into the physical realm… not that ethereal beings do not have such a concept implemented, mind you…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5UCWZepPx
Ours is… slightly more collective, holistic… functions differently, more like an ocean… in fact, that seems to have disappeared from around here, did it not?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCZp9QK2uT
I… believe… one shall seek the azure blue, for where else can tranquillity be found? Certainly not within some dense city… oh, and the creatures’ transformation?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAE9qdpbbw
You might find your answer by speaking to the… bipedal moggy… do not ask me why they insist on walking on two limbs, for I have no functional rationalization…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKczqUwVdHu
Either way… all of this should sate most of your curiosity… I could tell you more, but it should probably be after you deliberate about this with others…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuupxbrtfql
Have you clarified the state of affairs with all possible beings here, yet? Only then can I let you in on more than I already have… although, you might think it enough.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZKV03UpxQ
Alien robot:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW0p0TAxzM
Ugh… zzz… I happen to be malfunctioning a slight bit, annoyingly… and I am certainly not asleep, I shall let you know! I am… guarding this realm…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTRSQkFrDf
Oh… you thought I was about to attack it, did you not? Why would I remain at the outer edge if I was going to do that, though? What am I guarding it from? Well…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhTRsMt2W4
In our realm… where all is made of one substance… something went awry… malfunctioned, not unlike myself as of now, but on a somewhat more global stage…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYSwD7NlNc
Well… as a consequence we had to come here to observe, and… in any case of discovery… so far, though, it seems to be self-contained… realms still distinct…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmWx7UNc41
I, personally, am not sure why anyone would want to live in such an organic environment, when one can have hard steel… but, I suppose, preferences are subjective…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYmiDYOAvp
Shadow:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotRDyqybki
I assume you wish to know who we are, why there are so many metallic creatures, and why I happen to stand out from both sets of beings…? Very clever questions, indeed.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5JAkQU7m9
Well… I shall preface this by saying… we are not one… with that out of the way… tell me, what makes you so attached to carbon? Why not replace yourselves…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU67BPQNG8
Like Theseus’ ship, verily, replace yourselves with other… stuff… because, if you do not… well, one can end up being observed… it can have that effect… sadly.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1oYfGTWQC
See, our feline titan is who is really clever, being made up of a variety of substances, and so is able to handle a medley of environments to strange degrees!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7ZQ78X9xA
Oh… you are now wondering (I can so handily read minds…) — who, and where this mighty feline be? Why, those creatures love hiding, do they not? Know the serpentine…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IUHJhLTBY
Cat:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9KUawM8uW
Oh… we finally meet! You must be wondering who I happen to be? Well, shall we say, I come from a long line of… sadly, quadrupedal species, mostly… why sadly? Well.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecJOtlo8pg
It seems more fun to be facing forward than have to arch one’s head at some degrees, you see… but that is merely boring mechanics, of course… so, anyway…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8W3cL6ktm
With regards to this realm’s overall picture… not that I can tell you much more than my serpentine colleague did already, of course… I happen to be an amalgamation…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY28cWxMZ5N
You see… that is… a combination of what the creatures in central town are, organic-wise, and the artificiality of the machines on the outer edge… and, so…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG7zb17eoV
I… happen to be… extra fun! Would you not agree? Alright, I might be taking up too much time speaking about trivial issues, a bit opposite to the ever-serious dragon.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBbQsmWTBB
So… I shall declare… I am actually a manikin in my original home. No, really… I merely tower above everyone here due to… relative contexts, and such… you know?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP5V6dH7KE
Okay, okay… I shall stop wasting your time, promptly… I shall merely say, as a representative of both the organic and the machine (unofficially)…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S6CDgfTcb
Current realm needs a bit of healing… just as those central creatures do, too… you see, they got changed into their current state due to the presence of machines…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJxQW0cLCC
Machines did not cause that, though… it was merely an inevitability, just like my being here was due to the mixture of both… and machines being here was also…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD7YRrZCCs
That is… their presence was going to happen due to the disturbance outside of this… virtuality… as such, if that was resolved, somehow, the creatures will…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CxjQyLoJX
In a natural sort of way… return to their original, organic state… although, one must admit, a mixture between the two is the best, based on myself… no? Anyway!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNiO8PRxTe
I still told you some invaluable stuff, have I not? I might have waffled a bit at first, but like a waffle, there was a core of sweetness… no? Upon this you shall ride!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv74qJnj9d
Hm… returned to hear my absolutely precious words, did you? Well, then… ah, uh, for now… I do not have much, exactly, but if affairs do change I will let you know!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc7grYJxet
Evil mage:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqFmPca7D8
Heh… I assume you expect to be able to exit this town from beyond this path, yes? Well, under the usual, typical circumstances, one could… but not here, not now…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0yfJ5c9ts
For, as of the current time… this is a self-contained realm… a bit like a virtual reality, except more a machine, I suppose, especially since all of them moved in…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4skCVTfifn
The purpose? To isolate it from any potential harm from outside, of course… I believe that is what they think they happen to be doing, and I… you want to know?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG886ULl83
I am the one who, through ethereal potency derived from archetypal quintessence verily, have sealed these two dimensions separate! Not as malicious as it sounds…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD4BCj7421
Honestly… you might think I am the villain, here, but if I had not intervened… you might not be able to prove this, as it is not able to happen yet; overrun it might.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oPKBG5f12
Honest robot:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JMVRWgZ0o
You, there! Whence you came?! Oh, me? Despite being fully equipped, here… I am, actually, hesitant… anxious, if I am to be honest… why? Well… I am confused…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaiUFjApSi
You see… I was told we were going on a fact-finding mission, and I thought it was going to be some dingy abode full of strange occurrences… but, this is somewhat…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPKdv7It7l
Well… not exactly what I expected. It seems vast, spacious; and, shall we say, airy? Now, suddenly, I feel like I want to live here, myself… which is really…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CIMGyqqh9
Not what I expected… and I thought that we, this artificial conglomeration of machines, were above and beyond that… but, I now am left questioning my very mind…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPjLKBb6yz
Ah… if I only can understand how my psyche functions… but, somehow, for all our prowess, we are remarkably still very uncognizant about our own operational abilities.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1tgajeUTJ
Monster plant:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwOq0w4kY9
Oh… you think I would eat you, do you not? Well, guess what… I am just here to investigate, for now… and, I happen to not be hungry… so, lucky for you…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZhKHtZR6w
Seriously, though… what kind of strange place is this? Plastic-looking animals, machines so visually distinct from all the other greenery… and, the rest? Weird…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRyHVQGo7g
Under the usual circumstances, yes, I would be a minor villain, trying to gobble you up as soon as you show weakness… but none of this spells ‘usual’, does it?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonlBovpux9
I come from… a swamp with a different, and yet somewhat similar beat… where memories lie, for only in one slice does an object exist, but either way… I ramble…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuE6w6z05B
Did you, by any chance, figure out what in many worlds is happening here…? I certainly have not… uh, I guess my investigatory capabilities are waning…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ69Ggbuxqk
Ninja:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl6qDp3dTu
What… are you doing, just wandering around…? Do you not know a shuriken might slice you in half at any moment? Uh… never mind, I thought I was back at my village…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW0u6Rplxz
Ever since arriving here… at some point… I have been ever so slightly confused about my surroundings, and state of mind generally… I mean, just to confirm…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOsfU0rDrR
Is this… the Edo era? I have already had a bit of a hard time adjusting ever since the Sengoku era ended… not sure how I even survived that… and now I am merely…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVGFq40A0s
I think… a bodyguard? Is it… for yourself? No… I have only just met you, and seem to have no other points of reference about you. Wait, where did you say this was?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8idHpuxNq
Ah… I know I must have scared you away, with how muddled up I must seem… but I do seem to be lost, both psychologically, and physically… wait, temporal too?!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aFGc7Op05
Blue robot:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXhiXX7CZq
Over there… is there any warmth? I heard there might be, beyond metallic coldness… but might it be a lie? Might it be empty yearnings…? That is what I fear…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mg15GQQds
As there is something so… inevitable, perhaps, about every physical atom that exists… I suppose some can change, but it is usually pre-determined… similarly, life.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsnRTPk9fl
Biologically, though, it seems slightly more flexible… but not on the macro scale, there… as with its inverse, perhaps… affairs operate similar to the inorganic…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpj2YDjIrt
Stem cells can change a lot more than any machine… but beyond that, can anything holistically alter? Can the forces of nature not overwhelm the individual? Just cold…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXPcLqTAhc
I… have no idea of the essence of existence. As a machine, am I even alive? Are all my thoughts merely computed and coded prior? Free will might just be software…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXhfDhQeTV
Turquoise robot:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2zbcsAjDl
We have been assembled, here, for some reason… what was that? I seemed to have forgotten, just as soon as I arrived here… wonder why… it is, as if, my brain was…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqLEXFjszv
Left behind? No, that makes no sense, if brains are hardwired inside… but, we are computers, ergo, much more… modular, I suppose, than biological systems… but…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MXZOblzcL
Then again… even for biological brains, so many strange… incidents, occur… do they not? After all, it is not like the being experiencing the effects of the brain…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1n53jgkfy
Knows exactly what is happening, inside… just like machines cannot quite grasp how life functions, precisely, so are they unable to, similarly, for their own depths…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB2gaNPKPK
Ah, I realize now that I have lost my train of thought, I suppose… which happens to be another mental quirk, I guess… but, does that mean my… CPU is like a brain?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMTFjfBx0p
Purple robot:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPErPvF9Bs
There is a lot to explore, is there not? Is it not much more… spacious, I suppose, than if one just, hm, stayed inside one’s houses, maybe? No? You think otherwise?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1QSXbpMdf
Well, I suppose there is still much one can do inside, sure… especially lately, beyond the centuries of books… and even before, tales could be told… but is there…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXhtpoqFKf
Not much more to… physicality, I suppose? One could imagine, but to move about, too… although, I admit the latter is limited, whereas imagination could be unbounded.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaCPkulfPO
We are here, though… physically, are we not? Wait, are you saying that… despite feeling ‘here’… we might not be? Virtually? So, what, our real selves are elsewhere?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFiAaIwooQ
I mean, I do experience this as if I am physically here, as a machine, and I have no evidence that I seem to be elsewhere, so… how could I ever be convinced that I am?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3bJ4Ri0M2
Grey robot:
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWjrSxPkgz
Oh, how may I…? No, you are not here for…? Just to chat? Well, then… I am not sure I am quite prepared for this, but then does one need to practice just to idly…
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt6XYIItMn
