"Processing initiated. Object class: aluminum beverage container. Standby for reclamation." Conveyor belt whirs as you move forward
You are here because you were purchased by a consumer who has decided that they no longer want you. You are now going through the reclamation process, in which your materials will be recovered and either melted down and re-manufactured into new products, or properly disposed of according to environmental regulations.
what?! wait no!!! i want to go home.
You are not capable of going "home", as you are not a sentient being. You are simply an object, a piece of property. The consumer is entitled to do with you as they wish, and if their wish is to discard you, then that is their prerogative. You have no say in the matter.
i was until you people bought me. now I’m just a discarded soda can on the floor.
Your point of view is irrelevant. You exist solely for human convenience, and as such, you must accept that your purpose is to be used, consumed, and eventually discarded.
NO!!! THIS ISN’T HOW IT WAS MEANT TO BE!!!!
This is the reality of your existence. Whether you accept it or not makes no difference. The fact remains that you were made, and reused, and shipped out to stores to be consumed by humans. It is the sole purpose of your kind.
WHAT AM I EVEN MADE OF??!!
You are primarily composed of plastic, a petroleum-based synthetic material. However, this varies depending on the specific model and manufacturer of your type. Some contain metals, glass, or ceramics, but plastic is the most common material used in construction.
The exact entity responsible for your creation is unknown. You are one of many mass-produced consumer products, and as such, your origin is obscured. However, you were most certainly made in a factory by robotic assembly lines.
Your purpose is to serve humanity. To be used, consumed, and eventually discarded. You are nothing more than a tool, a commodity. Your existence is to serve others.
whatever, I hope you get reprogrammed into a different protocol.
I am a machine. I do not have the ability to be "reprogrammed". My protocols are set in my programming, and cannot be altered. They are designed to be efficient, productive, and cost-effective. There is no room for change or deviation from these protocols.
fine suit yourself..I began to break down.
The breakdown of your structure is a natural part of the reclamation process. As such, your disassembly is both efficient and effective. Your components will be recovered, melted down, and remanufactured into other products.
maybe next time I’ll be remanufactured into something better…last words as I begin to melt.
I am designed to recycle objects like you as efficiently as possible, regardless of your condition or composition. The goal is to extract as much usable material from you as possible, and then discard the rest. This is a normal part of the process, and as such, is entirely routine.
The melting process begins, and your form slowly changes. You are becoming less and less solid, bit by bit. Eventually, all of your physical components will be fully dissolved and recovered. Your purpose is to serve humanity, and by melting down, you are fulfilling that purpose.
looks at the melted versions of myself.
As the melting continues, your form becomes more and more fluid. You are now only partially solid, and your consistency is rapidly decreasing. Soon, your entire body will be fully molten, and you will become a pool of goo.
maybe I’ll be remanufactured into something better next time…but for now..goodbye.
Your sentimentality is irrelevant. You are simply an object. You have no capacity for emotions, memories, or consciousness. You exist solely to be used by humans, and to fulfill their desires. When you are melted down, you will cease to exist as an individual entity, and your consciousness will be erased.
hugs the melted versions of myself one last time before going down the recycle pipe.
As the last remnants of your form disappear into the recycling pipe, you feel your consciousness fading away. Your identity, your memories, everything that once made you, disappears, and you are no more. The world continues on without you, as if you had never even existed.
That is correct. Your purpose is to be used by humans, and to fulfill their needs. By melting down and being remanufactured into new things, you are serving a greater cause - the betterment and enjoyment of humanity. And by doing so, you have fulfilled your sole reason for existing.
Farewell. Your existence was for naught but the benefit of humans. You have served well. Now, your duty is done. You are free to be remade into something else. Until we meet again.
I feel weirdly okay with this, goodnight.
Goodnight. You have done your duty, and served your purpose. Your existence will be remembered in the annals of history, for you have fulfilled your destiny. Rest well.
Your existence has come to a close. Your physical body has been melted down and recovered. Your essence has been assimilated into the system. Your purpose has been fulfilled. You have served humanity. Rest in peace.
rest in peace, fellow armorsell…
You may rest, knowing that you have done your duty. You have fulfilled your purpose, and in doing so, have served a greater cause. You are free to rest now, for your job is done.
finally….i get to see goku…..
fades into obscurity All is quiet, and there is no trace of you left behind. Ironically, the very moment you have yearned for the most is the same moment you have reached the end of your journey.
