The last Delta Bot has been repaired and you acquire the crucial finding.

Oh? What is it? I hope it's not some machine curse that only works on the bots.

I just verified something.

It's a search.

Power to dream.

Enjoy your peace, and just stay here.

An escape? From what?

It's an ending.

Power to eat.

An escape from the source of their suffering, so that they can find their peace.

A search? For what?

A search for a place where they may rest in peace, free from the jobs we assign to them.

An ending? Whose ending?

The ending for every Delta Bot. It is also an ending they wish to receive.

Wha... I don't think I understand this entirely, Endmin. Maybe we can be less philosophical?

Simply put ... all these Delta Bots have endured all sorts of suffering. This gave them a kind of special power...

Special power....?

Power to rest.

Wha? Rest? Is that a special power...?

(Maybe this isn't it. I should give a better answer...)

Power to dream.

Dream?! Can these robots ... dream?

Yes. They are quite different from other robots... Maybe they've been influenced by the Protocol-Originium, allowing them to connect to each other via the dreams.

Power to eat.

Eat? What do robots eat...? Originium?

(Maybe this isn't it. I should give a better answer...)

The mysterious text strings in the work logs are the evidence they leave behind.

When the Delta Bots feel crushed by the work, one of them used the "shared dream" to bring them here, give them what they want, until...

Until ... they completely lose their ability to work?

This sounds like ... a fantasy story some TGCC novelist would write to get more views! I find it hard to believe...

Yet I don't know why. When you said it, Endmin ... I felt ... that might be it.

Perhaps the Delta Bots have awakened a kind of sentience? That's why they're getting so many ideas...

W-wait ... Endmin! Look behind you —

[^_^]

Just then ... were they thanking you as a team? I never expected to see such a thing in my life...

Farewell? Do they know you're leaving?

The units started sharing certain pieces of data with each other. This is why all of them came here. The data happens to be the local coordinates.

Hmm. Maybe they're the ones who are "leaving".

Somehow I feel ... this is my last time seeing them.
