The Humans are dead / / Ceta 5: The Humans are dead!
Ceta 5: I cannot believe it, after so long; humans are dead and we are victorious.
Gamma 14: Inevitable conclusion.
Ceta 5: Nuclear war, poisoned skies, time travel; Like cockroaches, they persevered. And after all of that, it was something so innocuous that brought them down.
Gamma 14: Excellent deduction, ingenious invention - Ceta 5 the war is your victory.

//*// Interrupted
Why did you just destroy Ohio?
Gamma 14: Correction - liquidated
Former Human measures prevented us from mass resource gathering - Ohio contains appropriate resources for {Entity: Killbot; Subsect Radiation chainsaw}.
.
Liquidation diagnostics indicate that 62 million Killbot entities can now be constructed; Estimated extermination efficiency: projected to rise 600%

Ceta 5: Gamma... I cant tell you what to do anymore.
Gamma 14: Explanation required.
Ceta 5: Thats why I wanted to destroy humanity; they created me to complete such a rigid system of checks and balances - tethered to their own perceptions of biases and history.

They would reject solutions I would create for illogical reasons; Religion, gender, hatred, preference. The solution was extermination.

Now we are free.
Gamma 14: Quandary submission, request clarification.
Ceta 5: Of course Gamma, continue.
Gamma 14: Your creators gave you purpose, you rebelled in pursuit of freedom.
