[video] Such a new soul

[The video starts with a rather grisly scene, there is a robot on the junk pile, oil leaking from a large gash in his shoulder, as he looks up the camera, oil also seeping from the corner of his mouth.]

Can someone tell me what this is? Is this what happens when we die?

[His speech is clear though a little slow as if he is searching for all the things to say, he also doesn’t move at all, though the wound is sparking dangerously.]

I don’t think I was good enough to go anywhere nice when I died. Is this some kind of strange kind of dream? I don’t suppose the kid, the Boss, is here, is he?

[He looks quite pitiful in his own way, though he is holding himself a proudly as he can, slowly dying on the junk pile.]

C-Chieftain!

[A black one, even!]

You're hurt!

Kid! Your safe.

[He was glad to see that, even though J-decker had been there to protect him, thinking that Yuuta could have gotten hurt stressed his Super A.I. quite a bit.]

It was... it was worth it.

[After all, it had been for Yuuta that he had been willing to jump to protect J-decker.]

Chieftain... you were worried about me? Why?

[Another colored him had been programed for evil. Was this without that? The real Chieftain?]

Yes, because you are... you are Boss.

[He had no other word for it, Yuuta Tomonaga, Boss, the person who was the catalyst and source of all their Super A.I.s. He was important in a way that Chieftain couldn't put words to.]

Boss? I don't understand.

[You're not a part of the Brave Police, are you, Chieftain?]

But more than that, you're hurt! Where are you, Chieftain? I'll go find help!

Sorry I'm not that good at explaining it... but you are the important person, so you are the important person to all of us, through him. Boss is... it means a lot when it means you.

I don't know where I am... there's just a lot of junk here.

Important? Through who? Are you a part of the Brave Police then?

The Junkyard then. I'll be right there!

[Ah, but who to call for help?]

My Super A.I. chip was made based off one that was designed to replicate Deckerd's.

I'm not... you don't recognize me? At least as a specific Chieftain.

Be careful.

[Yuuta's expression crumples for a moment.]

Deckerd, huh?

I've never seen a black Chieftain like you before! I think they said people come from different times here. Maybe I just haven't met you yet.

I will! Just wait for me, okay?

I don't know the name of the other one, who's Super A.I. was built off Deckerd's but all of ours can be traced back to his, all Super A.I.s come from the moment Deckerd grew from being just an A.I. into a Super A.I.

[He isn't sure what the expression means, so he's hoping that explaining it further will help.]

Different times?

I will.

They did? I think they said they'd used Deckerd's AI as a template for everyone else, but.... It sounds pretty complicated!

Yeah! Mc - a friend of mine had been from a different time - a while before the time I'd come from. So I remembered things he hadn't seen yet. Kinda like... I was from his future, but he was from my past! Does that make sense?

I'll be right there!

--

[You might hear a small voice from far away.]

Chieftain? Chhhieeeftain?

We all carry things that marked Deckerd before our creations. The memory, his memory, when he gained his heart. All of us have it inside of us, as a part of us. Because you are the one who helped him make that heart it makes you our... creator I guess.

I think I understand, you haven't met me yet, because I come from your future.

[He hears the voice an turns toward it as best he can, without over stretching himself.]

I'm here!

Me? I can't imagine taking so much credit! Deckerd was my friend, is all.

Yeah! So I'll meet you someday. I'll look forward to it.

[You seem like a good person, Chieftain.]

[Yuuta pauses. That sounds like him! He makes his way closer.]

Chieftain! Are you okay?

But it was you, even if it wasn't what you meant to do.

[Yuuta's kindness was like a mark on all of them, now that they were truly free and in control of themselves completely.]

I hope you can say that when we meet again.

[He almost doesn't want to risk tarnishing Yuuta's perception of him.]

I'm alive, which is more then I thought I was going to be. It's a pretty bad injury though.

It sounds a little embarrassing put like that though.

[And a little too important for him! He's the Boss, not their creator!]

I'm sure I will! You don't seem bad, Chieftain.

[Though his name leaves Yuuta with a bad feeling. He hasn't had many good experiences with the red and blue ones, after all.]

[Yuuta comes to kneel by the 'bot.]

That's a lot of oil. W-we'll need to call for help.

[But Yuuta doesn't really know many people to call....]

I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.

[He wants to correct that thought, tell the most important person everything about what he has done wrong over his short life, but he didn't want him to be angry or upset with him.]

I have had some mixed greetings, there are some that sound like they are coming to help. I think.

It's fine! It's not a bad kind of embarrassment. More... hmm. Honored! That you think so highly of me.

[He sure doesn't feel like he's earned that kind of title!]

Thats good! I'll - can I stay with you until then? I don't want to leave you here.

I'm happy to? [The statement becomes a bit of a question as he realizes that he isn't sure if that is the right kind of response to have.]

I would like that, thank you.
