Ah!Thisthingisfinallygettingasignal. [Blurr’s face shows up. It’s been weeks since he posted and he looks tired, scratched and in need of a good rest, but he’s smiling.

Because he's in the wastelands the communication is filled with static and sometimes it might fail completely.]

Greetings! I hope everyone's^{doing well. It's been}some time and now I'm afraid I need your help. [He moves to show rusty old trailer next to him, on its side.]

I replaced the tires of the trailer and tried to the fix the broken _{axels but there}was just so much I could do with something so old and rusted. I’ve been trying to flip it to the right position for hours but I do not process the necessary strength to do that. And in case you are wondering why I ^{want to take this} old thing to the Haven…

[Blurr opens the back of the trailer and sure it’s filled with wheels. Long lasting and highly durable, so durable they survived to this day untouched by time.

Merry belated Christmas, people.]

I traveled a lot around the galaxy and I noticed that most sentient races have very similar traits.

Except maybe the Daleks. Those are just insane.

They all change their tires?

[Blurr laugh at that.] No, silly. We share the same behaviour when it comes to certain things like friends, allies and foes. Or family, if they have one.

Do we?

I thought... hm. That's strange.

Yes, but only from my experience.

What did you think?

That an AI like me would be different from real living things.

But you are alive too, Kagerou.

I'm... still trying to accept that.

To believe it.

Take your time. I imagine it's not easy.

No. It's not... trying to believe you're something other than what you've always been told.

I can only imagine.

Humans have a hard time seeing my kind as something more than machines, it takes them time sometimes but even they change their mind. Time helps.

But you're alive. Like they are.e

How would you define 'alive'.

You have souls, don't you?

Yes. In the Cybertronian's case it's easy to tell because those are visible, but how do you know that the humans who made you also had one? What makes you think that? Animals are alive and I don't think humans beleive that they have souls. _Besides the concept of 'soul' is no universal, other races around the galaxy doesn't understand it.

Because they... just do.

That's how it is. That's why they can't be rebuilt, as we can.

[RIGHT...?]

Are you sure? The fact they can't be rebuilt the same way we can it's a matter of biology only _{and the concept of soul} falls more in the spirital cathegory.

But that's what he said! They can't be rebuilt! So... that must be why.

[No, he's really not sure, and this is all very confusing.]

[Blurr focus the important art of that statement.] He? Who?

Some humans have mechanical parts to, I've learned about that. They put them on their ears, their hearts, they have prethesis...[Or something that sounds like that.]

... Someone dear to me.

[Do you really need to ask, Blurr.]

They... yes. I know. They need them to help augment malfunctions.

Ah human?

[Yes, he's trying to get to the root of the problem.]

Or sometimes to function at all. Not so different from us, see?

No. Not a human.

I... still don't know.

Another member of the Brave police then?

I can't do more than explain how I see it, in the end it's your decision to take. As I said, time helps a lot.

... Yes. One of the Brave Police.

Someday, I'll get used to all of you telling me things are my choice.

Is he here?

Maybe someday you will even believe us.
