[Tadaaa. It's the resident ninja robot. Who's sitting up on the roof of the medbay's temple thing, studying his hand.]

I think I've recovered by now...

[A beat, and he regards the video feed, calmly.]

... I'm tired of sitting here, being useless. It's time I started living. And so... I want to try it. The fuel everyone here uses. "Energon".

Is there somewhere you all go to find it?

[PRIVATE | flagged to BRAVE POLICE and TOMONAGA YUUTA]

I've been offered... recently... the chance to join your team. By two of your number. When I was asked, I wasn't sure what I wanted. Or if your offer was sincere.

[He falls silent. This isn't easy to say.]

If... so. If you will still have me...

I accept.

All of the humans a kind of different from each other, a lot like how we are all different from each other, as I'm sure you've seen around here. There is a lot that can be learned from them.

Learn.

From them?

Yeah, we only have so much we can teach each other about feelings, but we can learn a lot from humans about them.

All human beings have ever taught me is that I'm disposable.

Disposable? How? Why?

Boss wouldn't think that!

[And now he is very panicky, considering that he has no idea why anyone would consider any of them disposable. Even Azuma, who wasn't fond of considering them as people, didn't think of them as disposable.]

... You don't know?

[He has no words, just shakes his head no, looking very worried.]

I'm a prototype.

They only needed me so long as Shadowmaru was untrained. After that... they were going to reformat me.

Erase me.

Kill me.

[For Drill Boy, who was pretty much the prototype and the final version all in one that idea was very frightening.]

Did Boss know?

[The question almost begged to be answered with a no.]

I don't see how he couldn't.

[Except... he honestly has no idea, one way or another. It just seems obvious to him.]

Well... the commissioner likes to surprise Boss... maybe he didn't tell him?

He was there. The day I saw the others.

[He thought about it a little bit, there had to be some way of figuring it out without running off to ask the Boss, for a lot of reasons.]

Did he... Did he call you by name? Any of us that he's seen before he knows our names, and calls us by them.

None of you called me by name. Not until I told you.

Then maybe he didn't know who you were, or... what you were.

I don't know cause I wasn't there, but Boss has always cared about us, and he will stand up to anyone to protect us, not just our lives, but the recognition of us as people.

Maybe he didn't. But... others did.

And they still thought I was disposable.

Well... they aren't here. He is and he won't think of you as disposable.

[Drill Boy was completely positive about this. Boss would never knowingly abandon any of them.

And if we go back?

Now that he knows who you are he won't let them get rid of you. We won't either. You are a Brave Police now, and we take care of each other, no matter what.

You take care of each other...

... that doesn't sound so bad.

It's... really nice, to know that no matter how bad things can get there is always someone who will help you.

Yes... I -- I remember what that was like.

I look forward to having that kind of thing with you too.
