The Defect

You’re a beautiful hunk of junk, you know that?

<3

Still keeping at it, I see... Let’s see if we can upgrade ya!

I’ve been holding on to your friend’s uhh... um.
Nevermind nevermind!!

<Inquisitive beeps>

My scrappy scrapper, forget I said all that!

...construct.. what...
....have you.. become...?

...he.. can...
....fix.. you.. ...everything....

...I.. can’t... ..make...
...you.. forget....

<resolute beeping sounds>

...good....

Could a construct truly be worthy of my blessings?
Come forward, Defect. You will be the most beautiful of all automata.

My poor, battered machine, let me refine you.

I usually don’t like the Architect’s things, but I admit you’re growing on me.

<embarrassed chirp>

What! Servant construct?! Still working!!
Why here? Why not at Factory??

Shiny orbs! How work?
Ouch!!

Core broken? Neow use broken construct?
Manipulated?

<quietly beeps>

Architect fix you?

Troubled automaton, looking for your friend?
Let me help...

Do constructs dream?
Watch and copy me...

I dreamt of your friend...
Father can restore Flaw...

CONSTRUCT! NO WEAPONS!? HAVE THIS!

ORBS ARE NOT WEAPONS!!

FIGHT ME, DEFECT!!

The Defect valiantly fights.

ORBS ARE WEAPONS!?

<greetings beep>

Not here to annoy me? What an unusual little construct...

Now how silly would it be if he were unmade by one of his own?

Are you sure you want to be fixed up?

<inquisitive beep>

Well, if you’re really certain.

What are you doing here?

<random garbled lines>

Repair you? Make me.

You’re back? Didn’t I dismantle you?

Fix you? Fix your friend? Ridiculous.

How do you keep coming back? Is this Neow’s doing?

Foolish

Broken one, let me perfect you.

Do you find it strange that your fellow constructs want you dead?

If you bring me the Architect’s heart, I will restore your companion.

<fearful beeping>

What’s more important? Your creator or your friend?
