We are the cleaners of this facility, designed to dispose of any paraphernalia that once belonged to the previous inhabitants. We scrub the planet from mountain to valley for our creators whom plan to live here in the previous occupants stead. My title is keeper, and my function is to clean. Due to negligent production. I've been built with a quirk where I rarely keep some paraphernalia.

My functions have been paused due to the object before me, it is an organic left behind and my programming is telling me to dispose of it... But I still cannot... What should I do?

>input

scan it more. then take it to wherever you keep things.

also, what happened to the previous inhabitants?

Find an incubator and keep it. You can watch the miracle of life as it happens.

I've scanned it thrice now, there are signs of life. I fasten the organic to my chassis and head to the storage area. When I enter the intersection of the building, another cleaner approaches me.

"Organic detected. Query, destination?"

My response will be against protocol and may end in termination or disposal if I respond with honesty. What should I do?

Say you're taking it to an incinerator.

Being terminated sucks, and I want to see what's in this thing. Lying seems the only method to avoid the former while not losing out on the latter.

Examine own priorities. Incineration of other cleaners will result in investigation from creators. Locate Metal Bat first.

Metal bat will assist in nonlethal temporary disabling of fellow cleaners. Obtaining it will assist in retrieving lamp without drawing attention of Creators.

As a bonus, if Attic cleaner is finished after retrieval of metal bat, it may be willing to return lamp.

Actually, we totally have an excuse. The problem with the incinerator isn't that it isn't functional, it's that it consumed unit #(whoever that was)!

Analysis of data suggests egg and lamp work well together.

Place lamp at side of locker's interior, pointed toward egg. This should help keep egg warm.

Head to incinerator. Attic cleaner's last known heading was to Leader. Likely to bring Leader to check on unit #221's location.

If true, presence at incinerator is in best interests--potential to claim to have fixed incinerator within time frame between retrieval of lamp and arrival of Leader.

...But now I'm at a loss of what to do with the organic...

>input

Organics need food. We should find food for the organic.

Oh, and water too.

it's not a plant, I think. so it's gotta eat. or drink milk if it's a baby.

sometimes the egg itself is edible to the babies. put it near the eggshells and see if it eats any of the mess.

Organics require food and water. They use these materials as fuel for an internal generator for the power they need to function. If the generator is disrupted due to a shortage of necessary materials, the organic shuts down, permanently.

Your priorities should currently be to find a safe location to keep the organic, and a source for the materials needed to keep it functioning.

>>564721
>Milk
Those born of eggs do not consume milk.

However, organic fuel material, both plant and meat, may be necessary. Organic entities eat one or both, and we do not yet know which this one consumes.

...my question is how are we going to hide it, I mean the locker works for now but they have already raided the thing once and who's to say what will happen should they find ... our friend in your locker. know of any other places you could go hide it?

You must hug it because it is adorable. You must also assess what it can devour for nutrients.

>>564770
Ah, you have brought new data to my processors!

You may be able to examine the mouth of this young biological organism. The shaping of its teeth, if it yet has any, will hint at what it can consume.

Should the interior of its mouth show a fleshy half-ring on the top and bottom, rather than bones sticking out of it, then it is possible that it cannot yet consume solids. In this case, it may be necessary to juice the solid foods to create a liquid that it may consume.

Instead it believes I'm being playful and wraps itself around its packaging looking at me and making a sort of giggle noise. A great many questions run through my circuits as I realize that in order to sustain this ones activities it will require organic power sources to keep energized and active... I myself have no information on where to retrieve such things...

examine the inside of it's mouth. flat teeth or pointy teeth will tell you what it's primary diet is. then you will have to leave the facility to fin that material.

>>565118
Self-examination of the scene suggests the lack of teeth, though my vision on it is limited.

It does seem to partake the avian habit of having consumed the innards of the egg, however. For the time being, it should be safe to seek out something capable of swift activity.

>>565118
This.

Flat teeth probably means it consumes plants, sharp teeth probably means it consumes animals.

hmm, well we may need to go outside for us to find this thing food. I mean your brethren have more then likely removed all organic matter inside of this faculty so we may have to travel further to place they haven't touched yet. Assuming of course there is such a place.

>>565478
This new data is intriguing. The o8 appear to be organics.

However, if they are, indeed, organics, then they should require some organic substance of their own. Even if your currently assigned location is to be wiped clean of life, they would likely have orders to keep some elsewhere.

Current priority should be the acquisition of objects of entertainment for the young organic life form, with a secondary priority set to look for food. A round, spherical object may work as a toy.

have logic line for when you see supervisor again.

query: mission clarification: mission: dispose of any paraphernalia that once belonged to the previous inhabitants.
hypothetical: previous inhabitant found alive.

wait for response and then further ideas.

what's the likelihood of you ever coming across and o8? Do you even know where they could be found? If it isn't to uncommon for someone of your rank to see an o8 it may be possible for us to enter an o8 living area and collect some organic fuel for this creature to process and refuel. also are there any areas for you to hide this creature as well? your coworkers have cleared out your locker once already and it's not to hard to imagine them doing so again in the near future, so you may want to start looking for other places to hide the organic and then a way to transfer it as well without alerting others to what you are doing.

They look like augmented humans tasked with overseeing the terraforming robots.

Are the o8 responsible for the absence of any larger/more mature organics similar to the one you have discoved? The odds of innocently finding a planet with sentient life conveniently emptied of its native sentient lifeforms just before you arrived seems infinitesmal.
Also, why are they just tossing out the remnants of the previous organics? Is there nothing they wish to keep or study?

The o8 are the miniature factories of all our robotics, constructed from a cornucopia of micro-machines and looking similar to a once forgotten race of oganics, they raze the planets clean of organics and then settle us in first to clean up the post invasion remnants. Likelihood of running into the o8 is more likely than the chances of getting permission to keep an organic alive.

you must upgrade. seal organic in room, and leave to find other parts. the bat should be next objective.

Fantastic.
Omnicidal self-replicating racist nanotech bioreplica.
Are they a hive mind, a connected consciousness or are they capable of capable of individual action and belief? Are they numerous? The low probability of meeting one seems to indicate otherwise, but in as tight a system as this, it is as likely they are merely robosupremacist sods who confine themselves away from the lower class armature filth.
Long term goals here. We need to keep the organic safe in ordeer to keep it at all. Both termination of organic and self (likely to be simultaneous) are worst case scenarios. I hope.
So we need to rack that RAM and figure out if Big Bro will notice if we AWOL the facility, because there is no chance of long-term safety in such a confined environment.
Are we underground, or in an orbital facility? Because otherwise, even if all organics have been scrubbed from the surface, the chances of locating a more suitable refuge are significantly higher than remaining in a dead end constantly patrolled by our dear, kind fellow robots.
In short, steel yourself. This won't be easy.
