[Worried Rock is worried. He's found his way to the fountain, and he's taken off his helmet. Sitting on the edge of the fountain, he kicks his feet back and forth against the stone. There's so much that he had to take in so quickly! It's awfully overwhelming. He's not depressed, just deep in thought, just trying to sort it all out

*As Proto is wont to do, he wanders. And spots Rock. After a moment of consideration, consisting of tilting his slightly oversized head to the side, he decides to walk over with a nod.*

Getting used to this place so far?

[proto_hero]

I know you didn't.

Wily still has control over his robots. He tells them when, where, and how to attack. But I'm not controlled by Wily or Light, and I haven't harmed humans, have I?

How comes it's worrying you all of a sudden?

[purejustice]

I... No, I guess you haven't. But that's because you hide all the time away from people, too...

[still looking at his hands]

I've learned some pretty awful things about Dr. Wily's new plan. He's planning to make a robot that only has the purpose of fighting until it's destroyed. And there's a virus too.

[proto_hero]

There's a lot of things I need to do when I'm not fighting, that's all.

...You're sure about that? I take it that virus isn't something like any normal one that's around already.

N-No, Dr. Light explained it to me very clearly. We captured a page of Wily's design plans and ... It's awful, Proto. It's really awful. I don't understand it. He says that he cares about robots, but.. he keeps making robots and then sending them to die, and this one... It'll have a terrible virus inside that rewrites AI, which will be let go as soon as the robot takes enough damage.

I... I think I feel sorry for it. What kind of a life is that... just to be made to die?

[Note that there's no question in Rock's mind that he'll defeat the new robot. In fact, he takes it for granted as much as Wily obviously did when coming up with this plan.]
