EX03-18 Duty of Tai'E

HNB1

When I went to look for food, I went into a food processing plant.

There's something off about the factory. It's empty, but it's still operating.

I climbed over a noise barrier and entered the factory. The noise from the machines was deafening.

Countless Tai'E and Guardians were hanging on the production line and moving along a huge machine.

They were pulverized and flattened into scrap metal on the work bed.

HBG3

That's the right decision.

The duty of Tai'E is to protect humanity.

HNB1

I know that.

HBG3

Robots obey orders. The highest command of Tai'E is to protect mankind. All Tai'E are the same—simple and easy to understand.

But you have always been different. I never know what you're going to do.

I never hated you. I'm not installed with an emotion module, so I can't like or hate.

I just feel... unaccustomed around you, and confused.

HNB1

G3... Sorry. For a moment, I wavered and had doubts about the point of my existence in the world.

I feel that there is malice and confrontation in this world.

But I have also felt that... humans... are full of goodwill and are worthy of protection.

So this time, I'm not executing orders because of my programming.

But because I want to. That's why I chose this human. Because this human being is special to me...

I'll protect her at all costs.
