[video] Such a new soul

[chieftain]

[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.]

You never know, dear, maybe one of the others will show up. I was here for a couple months before anyone I knew showed up.

Maybe... but at the rate they were doing damage... the others might not survive that long.

[The truth was that he figured one was already dead, the other had just attacked Mad Mother, he was unlikely to survive either, as upsetting as the idea was.]

How many others like you were there?

[chieftain]

At first... lots, but by now, there's just me and a few others, two that I know of, might be a couple more, but not many are left.

Oh, that's terrible to hear. I'm sorry.

It's a bit strange but the others, the ones that are gone, it's kind of like they weren't ever fully alive. Maybe. I don't know anymore.

When can you consider anything alive?
