Nothing I said or did seemed to register, nor did they recognise me, so it would seem they have both become drones.

Perhaps one can believe that, in some way, those who become like this really return home and are not in fact forced to live this empty, shell-like existence. Either way, I will keep an eye on them and can only hope they will be safe in

[notakillerrobot]

People you are close to have become drones?

[odetosymmetry]

Correct. They were friends from home... I'm not entirely convinced that they won't return though.

[notakillerrobot]

I am sorry for your loss.

I hope that they are really home like you think.

[odetosymmetry]

Thank you, I appreciate that.

I don't believe we have spoken before? My name is Death the Kid.

[notakillerrobot]

No we have not. My name is Quote I am a robot from the surface.

[odetosymmetry]

The surface?

[notakillerrobot]

Where we are now.

[odetosymmetry]

You say it as if people live underground too... How unsanitary. You're not a friend of that Simon's are you? He mentioned people living in the earth.

[notakillerrobot]

The Mimiga live on the floating island in the air.

I do not know anyone named Simon.

[odetosymmetry]

Oh? A floating island sounds much more pleasant, providing the shape was symmetrical of course.

[notakillerrobot]

Symmetrical?

[Pauses, hey he's pretty symmetrical. He didn't know that was something important though.]

Why does it need to be symmetrical?

[odetosymmetry]

Why, because symmetry is true beauty of course~

[notakillerrobot]

True beauty...?

[odetosymmetry]

But of course~

True beauty based on or characterized by such excellence of proportion!

[notakillerrobot]

I...think I understand.

[odetosymmetry]

Oh really? How wonderful!

... So many never learn to truly appreciate it...
