“Hello. Are you designated as maintenance units? Maintenance request—please assist. Open Forge power core access doors.”  (HELLO 1)

“Request priority 1; override all previous designations. New designation: return with director unit Tig-0 to Forge power control station. Complication: main access route malfunction—please assist. Immediate objective: clear access route. Confirm new designation?”  (HELLO 2)

“My designation is director unit Tig-0. My primary designation is oversight of Forge power control systems in service of Lord Karamoss.”  (WHO)

“I reactivated on the level above four days ago. A system-wide callback signal has been issued, indicating that I must return to my station. Activation of Forge power systems without director unit oversight is against safety protocols. However, the main access route has malfunctioned, and I’m unable to return to my station. New designation—confirmation required: return with director unit Tig-0 to Forge power control station. Confirm new designation?”  (WHY)

“ERROR: requested memory file corrupted. Self-diagnosis routine indicates negligible damage to memory drive and sensor arrays. My functioning capacity is within acceptable variation. I can’t answer your question, though it’s possible to update my records at the Forge power control station.” (HOW)

“The power control’s auxiliary command system issued a return request for director units. This caused my reactivation, though I don’t know why the return request was issued. I believe that this use of the Forge systems may not have been authorized by Lord Karamoss. I can access more detailed records and confirm authorization at the Forge power control station. You will assist my return. New designation confirmation required. Confirm new designation?” (WHAT)

“I have encountered several robotic units that have malfunctioned and don’t respond to proper designation routines—one of them attacked when I assigned it a designation. I didn’t recognize these units’ models. Lord Karamoss may have created these while I was off-line. I don’t recognize your models, either; I must update my unit database upon return to the Forge power control station. New Querry - what are the dates of your construction?” (DANGER)
