"Please place your body over there."

I doubt it will work but I'll give it a try...

As expected, I'm not allowed to cross into the Drums area.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: (Not translated)
I'd better think this over...
NOTE:
If these are what I think they are...
NOTE:
Throwing that to destroy it?
NOTE:
That won't work. The camera doesn't control the authorization. It's just a defense mechanism...
NOTE:
What does this control?
NOTE:
There aren't any labels...
NOTE:
No need to touch anymore.
NOTE:
Obstruction detected! Imminent destruction of the packages!
NOTE:
I could do this all day!
NOTE:
I guess it's used for... communicating?
NOTE:
I suck at technology. In any case, I probably shouldn't try climbing it...
NOTE:
Unless I wanna die prematurely.
NOTE:
I need to find a way to get closer!
NOTE:
Closed, obviously...
NOTE:
No way I got up there for nothin'!
NOTE:
Argh! I'm getting sick of this!

What in the world am I doing up here?! Why did I even accept this mission? I'm so...
NOTE:
Oh. I guess it just needed a good kick.
NOTE:
I'm done with this!
NOTE:
Wait... This must be a high security area!
NOTE:
I shouldn't enter before knowing what I'm stepping into.
NOTE:

This one won't fit in my pocket.

No use... It's not moving an inch!
NOTE:
All kinds of food and drink are on sale...
NOTE:
Too bad it's broken.
NOTE:
Whoa... What happened?
NOTE:
Well, it was broken anyway... But...
NOTE:
Hey, look at that! A few products fell on the floor!
NOTE:
It'd be a shame to let good food go to waste!
NOTE:
This is screwed in to help keep the plank in place.
NOTE:
For once, I'm glad I didn't forget to take my keys!
NOTE:
I'm thankful for whoever invented screwdriver-keys!
NOTE:
I'm trying to break it but...
NOTE:
It's firmly attached.
NOTE:
Using a screw to...screw?
NOTE:
Nope... Doesn't work.

Please wait. An agent with pre-recorded messages will take your call.

So this is the pyramid-shaped building Shay mentioned?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Shay: (Not translated)
I have no idea what's in there...
NOTE:
And I won't find out. The entrance seems to be locked.
NOTE:
There's a door at the top. But...
NOTE:
How the heck am I gonna climb all the way up there?!
NOTE:
The entrance is locked...
NOTE:
But I don't need to enter it again, anyway!
NOTE:
No good. It's either firmly sealed, only opens from the inside, or is simply not a door.
NOTE:
I need another way in...
NOTE:
A maintenance area, maybe?
NOTE:
You look kinda...depressed? Especially for a robot.
NOTE:
You - don't know - the half - of it.
NOTE:
So? Are you gonna tell me?
NOTE:
Please - don't talk - to me. Dismay - can be - contagious...
NOTE:
Oh, come on! It can't be that bad! After all, you're alive!
NOTE:
Do not - worry - about me.
NOTE:
Why - are you - insisting? I'm - done for.
NOTE:
Gotta go. But no worries, I'll be back soon!
NOTE:
I'll find something to help ya.
NOTE:
Please don't. I - feel bad - for wasting - your time.
NOTE:
Tell me. What's on your mind?
NOTE:
Despair. Darkness. Death.
NOTE:
Not that... I mean, what happened to you?
NOTE:
How would - you benefit - from knowing - that?
NOTE:
Dunno. Just curious!
NOTE:
See that - building with - a huge antenna - in front of you?
NOTE:
This is - the sorting center - I've been - working there - for the past - 30 years.
NOTE:
I was - responsible for - the delivery of - big packages.
NOTE:
Lately - I haven't been - efficient enough.
NOTE:
The management - noticed it. Today they've - fired me...
NOTE:
Man, that sucks... I'm so sorry.
NOTE:
(Not even robots are immune to layoffs now?)
NOTE:
So, what are you waiting for on this bench?
NOTE:
Some scientists - are on their way - to pick me up.
NOTE:
They're going - to recondition me...
NOTE:
What does that mean?
NOTE:
Taking out - some of my - circuitry...
NOTE:
Giving me - a new triangle head - like those new models...
NOTE:
Then my firmware - will be updated...
NOTE:
I will lose - all data - on my hardware memory.
NOTE:
You... will be reset?
NOTE:
I've never felt - like this - before...
NOTE:
I believe - I won't be - myself anymore...
NOTE:
Isn't this - like... dying?
NOTE:
I don't know but it sure sounds terrible...
NOTE:
There are - so many questions - on my mind...
NOTE:
What happens - if I die?
NOTE:
What if - I commit suicide? Is there - a god - for robots?
NOTE:
Man... I can't keep up with spiritual stuff for humans, never mind robots...
NOTE:
Can you describe your job more precisely?
NOTE:
My main objective - was to sort - packages between - various destinations - including the Slums - and the Drums.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drums: (Not translated)
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
Packages were - automatically sorted - by size and shape - to fit the pipe - leading to their target.
NOTE:
I just had - to push - the correct buttons - on my control panel.
NOTE:
Square button for square packages... triangle button for triangle packages...
NOTE:
Seems simple enough... Can't a machine take care of that?
NOTE:
Err... I think I may have said something stupid again.
NOTE:
No - you're right. That's - the thing. They're going - to fully - automatize the process.
NOTE:
Although - part of the job - was also - to ensure - no dangerous materials - went past this point.
NOTE:
This didn't - happen often - but in case - of any doubt - I had physical - access to the packages - to check them.
NOTE:
It's - not fair... I never - screwed up.
NOTE:
Always pushed - the right buttons.
NOTE:
No accident. Never!
NOTE:
Sure - I may be - getting slower - over time. Memory chips - wearing.
NOTE:
Was that - enough reason - to get rid - of me?
NOTE:
So who's doing the job now?
NOTE:
Really? How is the mail delivered now?
NOTE:
I guess - it's stuck...
NOTE:
Actually - I don't care. I just - couldn't care - less.
NOTE:
...am I - being - selfish?
NOTE:
(That bot is something... I've never seen any reacting like this)
NOTE:
Maybe just a little. But that's OK! It happens to the best of us.
NOTE:
Square button - for square packages... triangle button - for triangle packages...
NOTE:
Poor control panel... I'll never - see you - again...
NOTE:
(He may be just a machine but I can't help feeling bad for him.)
NOTE:
If I - could cry - there'd be - a river - down my feet - right now...
NOTE:
All you need to do is find yourself a new job!
NOTE:
Impossible. I was designed - for this - specific task.
NOTE:
I don't believe that for a second.
NOTE:
You got two arms, two legs. You can do anything!
NOTE:
...if you - say so.
NOTE:
Then... What do - you suggest?
NOTE:
Erm... Just let me think a little more.
NOTE:
I'm not - worth your time. Leave me - alone...
NOTE:
You could work for me?
NOTE:
What do - you do - in life?
NOTE:
I'm a detective. People ask me for help in various ways.
NOTE:
By night, I fight to get some extra money.
NOTE:
I'm sorry...I'm - nothing like you.
NOTE:
I'm neither - bright nor strong. I would - just be - a burden.
NOTE:
Don't say that! I'm not either, really.
NOTE:
I just try my best. And I'm sure you're very capable.
NOTE:
What do you need to, erm... live?
NOTE:
I use - one non-rechargeable - thermionic battery - per year.
NOTE:
Ah... This could be a problem...
NOTE:
I'm not rich and those are very expensive...
NOTE:
I told you - this wasn't possible...
NOTE:
Okay, I'll find somethin' else.
NOTE:
Why don't you work at the waste treatment center in the Slums?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slums: (Not translated)
I - don't know. What - is it like?
NOTE:
It's pretty similar. Using a lever to uncover interesting stuff and throw away the rest.
NOTE:
Darn...I forgot. It's on free mode but it's not free.
NOTE:
I have - no money...
NOTE:
Hmm... Maybe I can come up with something better.
NOTE:
I got the perfect job for you. An assistant to my best friend Shay!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Shay: (Not translated)
She's some kind of crazy inventor and is very skilled with technology.
NOTE:
You could help her by bringing her tools, performing searches, and...
NOTE:
All kinds of stuff mad inventors do, I guess?
NOTE:
You just need to agree to being tweaked to get your tracking components removed. Among other things...
NOTE:
Will she - erase - my memory?
NOTE:
She promised not to. But remind her... You know. Just in case.
NOTE:
I hope - I'll be - up to the task...
NOTE:
But - it'll always be - better than - being wiped out.
NOTE:
Thank you - so much - Mister! Mister...
NOTE:
I'm sorry. I do not - know your name.

If there's the slightest hope I can help all these people, I'll take it!
