*Metal looks confused at Terrorsaur's response.* We killed humans. If we left, we would have been destroyed as a danger to the human race. He was right in that sense...

*He shakes his head.* Why would it matter? Wily made us. Doesn't that mean he has a right to destroy us? Whether or not we are people....

*shakes her head* If you are a person, you should aspire to more than living as a slave, or giving up and being destroyed. Anything is better than that.

Just because someone made you, doesn't mean they own you forever.

Isn't it so? *looks at the Predacons*

*Waspy nods* Waspinator agrees. Waspinator would not be here if Waspinator did not. Waspinator may not remember who Waspinator was made by, but would not agree to way Maximals treated Predacons.

*irritably* Unfortunately, I can remember my creator. And good riddance to the slagging bastard. He didn't want to get that particular point.

*Metal gets a bit uncomfortable at the thought, but tries to hide that.* Well, I guess I'm going to have to try getting used to the idea... It couldn't be worse than what I've been doing...

*Quint smiles slightly* It gets easier, oniisan. It took me a while to get used to the idea too.

*Air seems understanding.* This is normal. Trust me. You'll be fine, Metal. It gets easier over time. Quick and Crash were a little like this at first too...

*Metal still can't help feeling that this isn't right. Mostly it's the remains of the loyalty code.* It just feels wrong... But at the same time, I have a feeling that it isn't wrong. I'm confused.

*Quint just smiles, more broadly this time.* I think that means the coding that made you obey him is going away.

*Metal looks a little startled.* How can something like that just go away? I've always had it. Even when Wind had the chip in me, that was still there...

It's ok, oniisan. You don't need it anymore. You're free now.

*Metal seems even more frightened at that thought.* My programming isn't supposed to change like this... Not unless Wily changes it, and he'd never change that.

*Quint fidgets. Maybe he should have kept quiet.*

I.. sometimes I don't think he even knew how much our programming can change, oniisan. Please don't be scared. It'll be ok. It's just confusing for a little while.

It's better this way, Metal. You have nothing to fear. This is normal. It'll just take a little time for everything to adjust...

*Metal doesn't really seem to be any less frightened of the idea.* It's supposed to do this? But it feels so strange...

*Quint nods* It does at first, but it'll get better.

*Metal looks a little less frightened.* If it's going to get better, I guess that it's not so bad... Just need to ignore the urge to try to go back, right?

*Quint smiles* It will. It just takes some time.

*Metal seems a little nervous.* And considering my teleporter doesn't even work, the ignoring is easy enough for now...

It's... don't think we're keeping you here as a prisoner. Not out of malice, anyhow. Once you've adjusted, you can have your teleporter back and all. *She looks to the others for confimation.* Right?

Change, growing beyond your programming... it's all part of being alive. Nothing to be afraid of.

*Quint nods* We just wanted to be sure you wouldn't panic and teleport away. Or attack us before we could try to explain, if you had your weapons.

*Air sighs softly* We'll give it back we we're sure you're ready. If we gave it back now, you'd probably just try to teleport back...

*Metal seems a bit uneasy.* I never thought that we were alive. We're supposed to just be machines.

*He seems a bit agitated.* So you don't trust me to not do something stupid... Is that it?

*Quint flinches slightly, not wanting Metal angry at him* It's not like that, oniisan. We didn't know if you'd panic. It can be really wierd for a while because of the programming changes, and then with everything else that might have happened to you we just didn't want you to be hurt.

*Quick glares at Metal.* If you wish to throw blame around, blame me. I'm the one who told Air to do it.
