[Oh, hey, look who's finally been rebooted after having been essentially shut down for repairs for the past, what, two weeks after his unfortunate run-in with a certain psychotic medic.  Yeah, sorry he's been out for so long - it took medics a while to find or fabricate the parts needed, oops.]

[Deckard's sitting on a repair berth, one hand to his head, the other steadying his Link device.]

Sorry for being out of commission for so long.

Can . . . can someone update me on things?  From . . . ah . . . the past two weeks, apparently.

His badge was knocked free from its holder and lying where he couldn't reach it.  Though I could see where he'd kept trying –there were scratch marks in the dirt.

  [a sigh]

  Anyway, he's been too quiet again lately.  He promised me he wouldn't go out again without telling someone…

  [Worried team lead is getting really worried.]

[Maybe he's left too is on the edge of his mouth, but, he bites it back. That's too bitter. Even coming from him.]

Sometimes, the living robots here fall unconscious. They stay that way for a long time, no one can reach them.

But they come back. Saying they remember more of their home.

[Oh, don't think he hasn't thought it!  He's just steadfastly refusing to acknowledge the thought…]

  That's . . . strange.  Does anyone know what causes it?  Are there any other effects than the added memories?

No.

No one knows. Sometimes they return... changed. Their frames are altered.

How so? How is that even possible?

I don't know.

I've only seen it happen. No one seems to know how.
