The Monster: "Can you believe it?!"

1904th: "What? Joe?"

The Monster: "No, David... I can't believe he did that! Why would he do that?"

1904th: "I thought that you terminated all the letters done by him"

The Monster: "Obviously I missed some... but that does not justify my own father ordering anything that can read to kill me."

1904th: "Sure, but we can defend ourselves, can't we?"

The Monster: "No. No we can't, not after the 1903rd did this to me, having a Human body is just stupid I am weaker than ever now. The only mechanical thing in my body is just the left half of our brain!"

1904th: "Why do we have a mechanical brain?"

The Monster: "It has a processing power stronger than all the supercomputers this species has made and will ever make."

1904th: "Okay, but why?"

The Monster: "because I found it helpful to send transmissions to devices through the brain rather than the trouble of having a room filled with useless transmitters"

The Monster: "No more questions about this stupid brain. You'll find out on your own, or you won't."

1904th: "Oh I will."

The Monster: "Sure."

Mody walks around the city after leaving Joe's house, and it's a clear sky, you can see the stars clearly. The city had long skyscrapers so Mody couldn't see the full sky.

The Monster: "I don't want to be a human anymore, I'm done!"

1904th: "You can't just wish it, make it happen."

The Monster: "I can't, I am drained. I have seen my whole planet die and I was stuck behind, I knew no one and I had no one. And now this? I am done with this bullshit! I can't take it anymore!

The physical toll and the emotional shit-ride I've been through, it's excruciating.

I can't even remember their faces any longer, Leo, David, Lenna... the whole O.D.Y, I can't even remember their names now."

The Monster looks at the sky and his eyes wander, scanning the night's sky like he's searching for something. Then he passes a building that revealed the moon.

The Monster: "Look at it, it's a husk of what it once was. A damned corpse floating in space. It's not even the same, most of it either on earth or floated off to space."

1904th: "How was it there?"

The Monster: "It was home. Sure, it was in total war for seemingly eternity, but it was home, and now it's just a wasteland."

1904th: "What about David? How did he send those messages?"

The Monster: "David... My own father is trying to kill me from below his grave.

He had a solution for centuries of war between two species, but a minor glitch in his own sun makes him want to kill me.

Such a crazy man... He had to be alive when humans came to existence, he had to be alive back then. I just don't know how, I don't even know how many he made, and where."

1904th: "there's no harm though, right? I mean no one could decipher the messages."

The Monster: "Well, one just did. And a stupid one too. Do you know how dangerous this is to us? These governments are crazy, if one finds out what we are, they would either force us to be a weapon for their shitty wars, or they'd cut us up and study us to 'prolong their species life span,' I don't need that."
