[Deon's voice sounds a little different, like it's slightly...processed. The panic, however, is very real.]

Anyone with experience in robotics or engineering, come to the College labs immediately. Please. It's urgent.

[DEON IS DEFINITELY STRESSING ABOUT IT. This had never been a problem before, except with Chappie, whose battery pack had been fused to his chassis and impossible to change out. Scouts weren't sentient, weren't sapient. It didn't matter if their batteries died.

And now it did.]

Okay.

[you should leave things there you should NO LET'S CONTINUE TO REASSURE HIM, SO VERY CALMLY;]

Besides, if you still have your soul gem, if your battery does die it should keep you alive.

[mrroboto]

I don't think it would. Even if an organic being dies, there's still the potential for healing and reanimation; somehow I doubt whatever Milyn does would work the same way on robots.

[Be totally calm and clinical about your own death, Deon. It's just a Scout. Just a Scout...]

[pushtheboundaries]

But you still have it, don't you?

And other robots have had them.

Why would they if they weren't needed?

[mrroboto]

I don't know. I don't know.
