Macaw:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyHNwdolDP
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpWyry8OLj
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9MFfis4Pq
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkVbILhOCc
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0aaPqUCvo
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hmNUzlUch
Echidna:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIW6ufWKnn
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlVoh4WvIr
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbj0XfoAA9
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JJI0au5Z5
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFODhKN4rV
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…?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T79KkEhfA
Death:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡranTvgSL03
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IYDeSGPZT
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5hLqFI6Ck
…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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0CAzVMqZ3
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAaeYucuSv
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ekMMjpjx
Existential robot:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfkz0kFSp9
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4ikxRnSTZ
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgmCI1F9qi
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k5ebe96z3
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdOFWHME6n
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR26kwKzzz
Small robot:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmVMyFYdxD
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnHTi3MIz2
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqMgF8QoVS
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKEn8ZSdJq
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatT50qOqJP
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UCEqCBqqO
Sad robot:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIFDB4Gs8B
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQRHHbPMQv
…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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8ZqC8euAC
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f8DZlC4G8
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN3Fd9sVrG
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysTG7OlTAl
Mushroom:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlEzwhZfKl
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg6uzeI94C
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ73dPPYuN
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRQ5zwhslZ
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhLGulNQNA
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnpDZG62Gj
Fennec:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAzdxCvBvz
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3G8AAk9KO
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NmfgSSzCp
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl97ZY8Hbf
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVk8Kvyj9o
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7SvZadn6f
Antelope:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNlnmrqcya
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX03KZTFzv
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMtei0EMHv
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht1adV0Mfp
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtf8IKMy0e
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6qd0f5tRI
Orang:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWwxd6zkC8
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68qRk8M1gD
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSna4SO6CKP
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoUiWmKAAy
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ5cg98iIe
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqlsVkSW2v
Dragon Blue:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQb6FiGbIz
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WXmuaTktt
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j7fd65Rn9
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGksiE6rTs
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4OorToxKp
That is… evolutionary pressures created consciousnesses suited to their environments, while my kind… as we reside in the ethereal realm, usually, did not diverge…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxKvEmFQ5P
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXixujkeF8
All derived from the same, archetypal substance… but, as with evolution, still diverged in form and function… but not due to environmental pressures, mostly…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NOIPpJVYq
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZnaIgwB4K
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BmYNh1O1R
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDHiM1TjPM
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xb71vjWwF
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWQwD9euDO
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4mJeGvnY8
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdqSqNDWk6
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEFvoRB1Xf
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UiVPHcRHl
Alien robot:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI2Aefp56i
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPp5IrOtmy
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLjeioFd65
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYG2AmaHhP
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwQZFGohRV
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QoB506bmh
Shadow:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr79If71jzf
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY2FTb3EbX
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmA9XeiAxz
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDsqhpeSan
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!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kycKliLqr
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1yOdzQoGP
Cat:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X8S0otdx8
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPqU9lMZoX
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt7o7pC6aj
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNGgSo8Kvn
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6apHhctLr
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC55E37TMT
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13A3X7Ku0Z
Okay, okay… I shall stop wasting your time, promptly… I shall merely say, as a representative of both the organic and the machine (unofficially)…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZK4VgDASO
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AnVNmuGJ8
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUklsFgUEY
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqUhN2xjEd
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!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4NcOf13HC
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!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEyQGShS5A
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!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoYnhidcrz
Evil mage:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi07fY4CQ9y
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t6KOrMDmf
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPAb5VVw73
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgIccdmNKC
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFGoLwxQzu
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRRr4Cj2Dy
Honest robot:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ba8jM95lv
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKdBK1VcIN
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdUyBpRf7v
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudt84ck5Yx
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp2DcgKp9b
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy9OoorBmm
Monster plant:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4HyxqdTdt
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWaZO6yLhl
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ0PTRy5sK
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10qr8sUAGB
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsZ0Q14wGY
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…

Ninja:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tjJUcFhxR
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCig5IELEg
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKpQW0Uwiu
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO261YxMyT0
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJnYwTSehM
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?!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjGMqjPoNF
Blue robot:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZx2VEFJil
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6O0hBdSU9
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC4iL6TbT4
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXYcETv0YP
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkmVL6APBK
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcewQIt0Pk
Turquoise robot:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzddAKZfG1w
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkOZcuOOwY
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CU6qmclfr
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjs41WgfB3
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4l7u5tU4T
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBjmh72t3p
Purple robot:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK0LntGSTt
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zHZOAdy9X
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…
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnZtGIjcxx
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQBSXyXxGm
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?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhftG3NBlV2
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?

Grey robot:

158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5KGmiaICg
