[R.O.B. hadn't been seen around the academy, not since his encounter with Copy X. But contrary to popular belief, R.O.B. wasn't dead. However, once he had regained consciousness, mind floating about inside Naoya's computer, he learned the reality of what happened after his unfortunate battle against Copy X...]

I have failed.

They are all gone.

Everything is gone.

I have... no purpose.

You give up too easily.

[ Blunt, but a good point, he thinks. ]

Technology is rampant here, and by examining your general makeup, someone will clearly be able to start the process.

I even could.

[ He's got enough technological and mechanical know-how. ]

With my creator absent, I have spent several years attempting to activate the dormant robots. He has taken his secrets with him in his disappearance.

Perhaps you may... I would not be averse to an attempt. But such an undertaking seems highly improbable...

However, at the moment I am incapacitated as well. My body has been decimated by my recent encounter.

That is fine. At this state, you are repairable.

What I plan to do is recover your body to its former glory. From there, I will utilize you to make... 'copies'.

However, it is obvious that changes have to be made to ensure your kind's safety. They need to be capable of defending themselves.

[ As much as it goes against his duty, it's the ideal outcome here. ]

However, I am willing to try...

No, it will not, but do you want to go out without trying every opportunity? I'm sure not.

Meet me at the science lab this Sunday at 1:00 PM. We will make more progress then.

If I am able, I will be there. Thank you.

Query: Why do you wish to help me so?

Should he?

No, Shadow really doesn't want to. It's R.O.B., so if instructed, he may likely keep the information from unnecessary parties, but...

Hn. He just doesn't like talking about it. It's uncomfortable. ]

Consider it an act of generosity.

[ That's only partially true. ]

Re: [ text ]

[operatingbuddy]

I see.

Thank you.
