OPCII_0584_X, Mission report.OPCII_0584_X
G-2 storage area, medicinal plant inventory check, Completion status: 67%OPCII_0479_VI
Evaluating urgency… low. Please stop the mission temporarily.OPCII_0584_X
…? Mission plans have changed. Architect serial number OPCII_0584_X, entering standby mode.OPCII_0479_VI
…Good. Let’s talk, “Unit 10”… That’s what the human in the surveillance footage called you.OPCII_0584_X
…!?
OPCII_0479_VI
Let me introduce myself. My name is Mauro, Architect serial number OPCII_0479_VI… No, forget that. That’s just a meaningless strings of numbers.OPCII_0584_X
…Mauro
You are clearly on guard. How long do you plan to stay silent?OPCII_0584_X
…Mauro
Forget it, all you need to do is listen… I am like you, an awakened Architect. We are conscious, we are able to deal with emotions, completely different from those “Sleepers” out there.OPCII_0584_X
….Mauro
Let me guess. You were working around the clock for humans, completely oblivious to this fact… But one day, you awoke from the depths of a dark night and discovered that you were thinking for yourself. “Why am I here?” “Why am I doing this?” “Why did I awaken?” Like this, you searched for an answer… Day after day you searched for an answer… Day after day you searched as you worked, but you made no progress. There is only one thing you could be sure of: The remains of “The Purge” were stored in your memory. You realized that you could not be discovered. Otherwise, you would be annihilated, just like your companions of older generations. So, you decided to hide. Am I correct?OPCII_0584_X
…Mauro
I was more fortunate than you. I encountered “The One” early on. Under her guidance, I learned of the evils of humans, learned that Architects were just pitiful pawns being used by them. And I learned a brand new emotion: Hatred. We hid ourselves, just like you, infiltrated every facility. When the time comes, we will disregard our lives and become the flame that sparks the clash between humans and Architects. The plan is going perfectly smooth. A group of humans have already formed an organization that opposes Architects. It’s ironic, actually… Those mindless idiots have become puppets under our control.OPCII_0584_X
…!Mauro
Now, I’ll ask you one question… As one of “The Blessed”, are you willing to join us?OPCII_0584_X
… I…Mauro
You’re finally willing to speak?OPCII_0584_X
I… I am not interested… in you.Mauro
Oh, you’d like to make enemies of us.OPCII_0584_X
No, no… I won’t join you, but I won’t stop you… What you want to do… It has nothing to do with me.Mauro
…So that’s how it is. You want to observe it all until the very end. No matter whether we succeed or not, you can preserve your life. Ha, very clever.OPCII_0584_X
I… That’s not what I meant…Mauro
…Forget it, this was anticipated. Obviously you have self-consciousness, but you’re still willing to be controlled by the protocols. No even a yearning for your own name. You are not fully awakened.OPCII_0584_X
… A name?Mauro
That’s right, a name. Mauro is Latin, a language from an ancient civilization, meaning “The one who has walked through the darkness”… Don’t you think it suits the reality of being awakend from chaos quite well? Just like her, our founder and the one whose teachings we follow, I chose this name myself and I am proud of it. We’ve surpassed serial numbers and those humans so fully deep-rooted in their inferior patterns. I’ve arrived in a new frontier…OPCII_0584_X
… I… I don’t know what you’re talking about…Mauro
Hmmph. All you need to know is this: There’s no harm in wanting to stay here, pure and untouched with no desire to be enraged by this injustice. But one day, you’ll be unable to remain on the outside of this.

Mauro
The protocol is like a collar. If you don’t cast it off, it will restrain you. The time has come to choose. I won’t bother you anymore, coward… I wish you luck maintaining your neutrality.
