*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.
*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...
*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.
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.
*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?
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 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.
*Quint shivers, fighting the urge to retrieve Sakugarne from data storage and try to hide behind it. Instead, he backed up against the 'wall' of the cave as if trying to stay out of the way.*
Please don't be mad, oniisan. We didn't know what you'd do. There wasn't any way to know what he'd done to you.
A-and I'm the one who mentioned the teleporters to you, Quick, in case they panicked. I-it's my fault.
*Quick speaks more calmly.* Quint, it's not your fault. I could have just as easily said that it was an unnecessary precaution. I made the final choice, therefore if someone is to blame, it's me.
*He glares at Metal.* Leave the others out of this. For all we knew, you could have tried to kill us on reactivation. This was the only safe option.
*Metal suddenly stops the angry glaring on realizing actually how much he was scaring Quint. He was actually a bit surprised at himself for doing that. After this long, having someone actually scared of him is a bit unnerving. After a bit of hesitation, he comments sadly.* So this is what you were worried about, Quick. Me doing something stupid like this, except with weapons?

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