Since it seems to come up a lot, and since we got a bunch of new people recently, I'll make it clear to everyone.

Androids are not machines. Don't call us machines, and don't call us robots.

And since I have your attention still, there's a machine running around. Tall, male, red eyes and white hair. If he starts anything let me know so I can test how sharp my sword is. I promise I'll do it quietly. Or at least with no one else around.

He was ambushed. Nothing heroic about that. It's embarrassing.

Heroes tend to die that way. If it was an ambush he didn't see it coming. That only leads it to not being embarrassing.

For an android to die to a machine, no matter the reason, is embarrassing. Sorry to say. The fact he wasn't aware that a machine was around is embarrassing, especially given that he's a scanner unit.

It's his entire job and model types business to know what's going on around him.

If you happen to die to this machine, would it be embarrassing for you too?

Sometimes scanners can't pick up certain signals or there's jams. For all you know his scanner could work half of the time here given how weird this place can be.

It would absolutely be embarrassing.

I'm not really sure why you're trying to convince me that him dying isn't embarrassing, but you're not going to be able to. The fact remains at the end of the day: He was killed by a machine. It's embarrassing. It doesn't matter how or why it happened.

I tried helping him live a bit longer. At the end of the day, he died because I couldn't help him. Even if the machine would have probably done a finishing blow prior to that if given the chance. In short, you saying it's embarrassing is also saying that what I did after the fact is too.

All that it really told me was that I have no experience.

You're a human. You weren't made to fix androids. You weren't made to fix androids from another world. He was made to fight machines. He was ambushed by a machine, and he died.

That's embarrassing.

[gotyourselfapilot]

You're right. He at least tried to fight back, even if he died.
