Rythix was still a little upset that there was no getting that data back, but if they could successfully get out of this situation and inform others of 2C's insane plans and how her machinations led to the disappearance of countless Digimon, then perhaps something can be done to prevent this from happening ever again. It was the only reasonable way he could think of for the time being.
Thankfully it seemed he was right about tracking the blind spot in the sensors, so at least they had that going for them. Everyone seemed to praise him for this realization, which just made him blush insecurely and fiddle with the visor on his helmet a bit. "O-oh, I-I'm sure the rest of you would have figured it out e-eventually..." he muttered. When Roy offered to fist bump, he awkwardly raised one of his hands and gently tapped it against Roy's fist. "B-but, thank you."
Now it seemed that Adam had an idea, but it would lead to what amounts to the 'death' of the current Adam as their memories would have to be wiped from the transfer. While this was saddening, Rythix couldn't think of any other alternative that would get everyone out of here in one piece. He was just thankful there was a way for Adam to disable to signal and potentially trick 2C into believing they had completed the mission.
He reached out for Adam as they left, worried for them, but they had already left. Rythix sympathized with him. To lose who you were. To not remember a past self. He had been through that exact same situation. He could tell that Adam was scared. Worried not just for himself, but for the others. He looked outside and saw the others wandering about. Some stared at him, and all he could think to do was offer them a comforting smile.
He stepped back from a window and sat down "P-part of me worries if we're even doing the right thing. But...a lot of this is 2C's fault, not theirs...it wouldn't be right to punish them. Their consciousness is made up of digital data...so...they're still alive. They deserve a chance as Adam said. 2C has to be stopped before more suffer because of her goals. W-while she's doing this for a loved one, it doesn't excuse her actions. People have been hurt and killed because of her own mistakes. W-when we get out of here, we have to tell people what's been going on."

Though it would seem nobody from the group would want to leave the building for the time being, they wouldn't be alone in there for very long. There was a knock at the door - at least, that was what could only be assumed from the sound of metal knocking against stone. But it would be apparent that this was just a formality, as the one knocking didn't hesitate to open the door. An eight-legged machine carrying a large tray on one pair of its four arms. The top half of its body would turn around, allowing it to maneuver through the room without needing to turn its legs. It had the same two green orbs as Adam, much like eyes, and a yellow on the top of its head was the only non-mechanical part of it. It would look at the group before realizing that perhaps it should show some amount of social grace. " Excuse me if I'm intruding...but you've all been here for so long...we didn't know if you were getting hungry or thirsty. We don't have much, but we'll gladly share what we have with you. It may be fairly basic, but I hope that it is enough." She would carefully place each plate on the table, each with a sandwich and glass of water. Three plates had normal-sized sandwiches and cups of water, while the other two would be much larger - the sandwiches were more patchworks of bread with the filling in-between, while the water was held in glass vases. It would be fairly obvious which was meant for who. What filled the sandwiches differed, but they would be average in taste. The machine would stand there for a moment, just looking at the group, as if unsure of what to do next. She'd take a few steps towards leaving the room, but her body turned around to face the group one more time. " Um...would you happen to know why Adam seems so...down? That's what organics call it when someone isn't as happy as they usually are for some reason, right? He said he had something important to get ready for. Would you happen to know what that might be?" Another silence, though this one at least left the others with something to talk about. Kazuya and Royland yuuki rythix

"In the end of it, people have clashing view. When it got to extreme, neither side will admit their wrongdoing--no, actually, admitting wrongdoing won't do anything when someone is already out for blood. Total annihilation might be the way to solve it all... but frankly, I don't want that. That's why I propose all of this. If they were normal haywire robots that came out of nowhere, bugs, that is, then I'll exterminate them all, but... turned out it's another thing entirely. Well, that's good for me," Yuuki commented.
Still, Yuuki shook his head "Revenge isn't 'for beloved one'. It usually involves personal vendetta. We sometime say 'this is for x!' but can you deny that it's mostly just for our own satisfaction? What good does it bring for 2C to kill all of these robots? Nothing but her own closure."
The talk about telling the other tho, Hikaru turned his head at the young bee. "...That's another way to paint a target on your back. Not only that you're breaching the confidentiality that came with this job, that also shows that you're in fact a sympathizer of the robots. 2C will then draw a conjecture that we're not actually destroying them, but helping them to escape. You understand how dangerous that is?"
"It's as he said. It's best to keep our silence. If we truly wish for their well being, then we'll carry this secret to our graves."
and there's this appearance of another robot. This is... interesting so to say. Yuuki decides to eat the food anyway. It's offered to them, and it would be rude to reject it. Still, the robot's question made him think.
"I... think it's not our place to say it. Adam will say it to you guys sooner or later I guess... Say, I have strange question... if you were to choose, would you choose your own life--nay, existence... over your kin... or your kin over your own? What is your existence to you, personally?"

Kazuya Oda and Royland did not expect to hear what they heard, a mixture of disappointment and sadness. They know that Adam had no other option but to force himself to do the reincarnation thing they talked about, it was a sad thing the chance of Adam maybe losing his memories, but it had to be done in order to release the data Adam was initially forced to absorb. But it was still sad, but no point in dwelling on it and focus on what to do next, Royland turned to his new friend Rythix as he explained why they need to stop 2C. He agreed with his view whole heartedly, what 2C is doing is unforgivable and she needs to be stopped.
"You are right Rythix, there is one thing I say and will always say forever. Everyone has the right for their own freedom, but when that freedom directly harms others and directly conflicts with their freedom is when you are going rogue. It does not matter what you think or what you think your goal is noble or not, harming innocent people is a line you should never cross no matter what. So that is why you are right, we need to stop 2c no matter what. And if we all join forces we can stop her and save the day, I am sure of that. " Royland said with a beaming shining smile, the knight was too much of an optimist, but hopefully no one will change his positive out look.
Kazuya Oda took part of the food he was served to all of them by the machine, he smiled and gave the rest of the machines a smile and nod. "Thanks for the food." The tall man wanted to ask a question, but it seems like Yuuki had beat him to the punch, Kazuya was very interested in the answer so he shut his mouth and listen intently to that side of the conversation, eagerly waiting for their answer.

Rythix actually got a little irritated with Hikaru's words "You're worried about confidentiality when our 'client' sent us into a near no-win situation and would threaten termination if we didn't perform to her standards? We can't just let her continue what she's doing. No one's going to be completely safe until 2C is exposed and stopped. How long can these poor robots hide? Someone will find them someday, and someone will talk about them and 2C will find out." he said. His usual stutter was completely gone when he addressed this matter seriously. "Besides, who's to say her plan ended at their destruction? What if she's after something in particular, like Adam's core or something else they have? Adam's core gathers data, and she may want that data. If she comes here to salvage and doesn't find it, that's another way she would know."
He took a deep breath and sighed "I-I'm sorry. I don't like losing my temper." he stated. He also felt there was more to this than revenge. Royland's extremely positive and optimistic outlook was something that Rythix appreciated "T-thank you Royland. W-we'll think of something. Nothing is impossible. I refuse to believe that..." he said. His previous life flashed in his mind for a moment. As violent as he used to be, he always fought for the people first. Actions that harmed the innocent weren't something to be just swept under the rug.
He looked over at the robot "T-thank you, but I'm not too hungry right now. I have a lot to think about." he said. Though when they asked about Adam, he frowned a bit "Um...A-Adam is doing something very very important. A lot's on his mind, but he's doing his very very best for all of us. Give him your support, okay? Help make him content and happy..." he said as he gave the robot a friendly little smile. He figured that being nice and patient with the robot was the right thing to do.

The machine nodded as Rythix gave a (vague) explanation towards Adam's distraction. " That is what I'm trying to do. Usually, he would tell us to help take care of any guests, but he seemed so preoccupied with other matters that he neglected to inform us. So we decided to take matters into our own hands and prepare something for all of you." It was Yuuki's question that caught her attention next. " That's a rather odd question, but if I had to make the choice, I'd sacrifice my existence to preserve that of my family, and all those that live here." There as no hesitation in her answer, not even the small amount that she'd shown before being asked. " I could never imagine living without them all. Everyone's an important part of my life, and I'd do anything to ensure they remain a part of it. Even if it meant I had to sacrifice myself to do so." Is was as if she were just stating a simple fact, as if it wasn't really something she thought about that much. But the next question did give her pause. She even looked away from the group as she mused on it. " My existence...Adam's asked me that question before. I think he's asked everyone that question, after they've been alive for a week. I think maybe he's making sure that we were constructed properly, but I've never actually heard him answer that question. Only ask it." She was quick to recognize her rudeness, and looked back towards the group. " Oh, but you want to know my answer. My existence is doing what satisfies me the most. Which would be helping care for everyone and satisfy their needs, whether they're my family or just guests. And also talking with them, and learning from them." And just like that, she went off with a tangent that went faster and faster with each moment. " Everyone experiences things differently, even if they're the same species or model, so everyone's got a different perspective on things, but we'd never know if they can't tell us, and you don't know the next time you'll see them, so if you don't ask, you'll never know, and if you only ask one person, you won't get the whole story, so you have to talk to everyone, even if they don't understand everything either, and even if they don't want to talk about, you might know why, which tells you something else, and...and..." She stopped, having realized that she was just going on something that the others probably didn't care about. She looked away from the others for a moment, and while it would be a subtle change, the room would feel just a bit warmer. " Sorry if I'm being rambling or being rude or if I'm interrupting another conversation you're all having, but this is my first time speaking with organics. So I'd like to ask you all the same question, if you don't mind; what does existence mean to each of you? What does it mean to be 'human' or 'digimon'?" yuuki rythix Kazuya and Royland

Hikaru's expression did not change on the commentary, but then he began to spoke.
"...Then you truly doesn't get it, do you?" his voice carried such chill and coldness that normally never present in his other forms. It's devoid of any kind of warmth and the support that he would normally exhibit. It's the tone of someone who just heard something truly illogical and is prepared to dissect it, one by one. Slowly, he inches closer to the other two Digimons.
"Frankly I don't give a damn about the matter with 2C. You spoke of justice, but how would you want to track her? Got any way to do so? Hacking? Jamming? Tracking? Got those skillsets, bub? You're talking about stopping her, but it seems that you're completely consumed by your own self righteousness. They said the obsession with justice is as bad as evil itself. Do you really know whether 2C still at it with her creation, waging war somewhere? Do you know whether yay or nay she would risk to make robots like Adam again? Her revenge is over with him and the rest of them only if we stay silent and present to her those fake bodies and Adam's old body. If you want to get out of there, speak your mind about what atrocities 2C done, not only people doesn't trust you, they will label you as a madman. Digital world doesn't give a damn about robots that's for all they know, was created to be a war machine then rebelled against their creator. They'll instead hunt them. Some exceptions exist, but what do you want with band of exceptions? Does it worth it to reveal to 2C that the robots are still alive?"
Hikaru leaned his head forward, now his tone is challenging. "You're taking this a bit too lightly, both of you. There is a difference between risking yourself and risking innocent. I don't give a fuck about confidentiality, I gave fuck about the peace of these robots. Some white lies can go on a long time. Are you planning to trample Adam's sacrifice and allow 2C to look for the survivor robots with your action? You do know Adam won't have his old jamming ability, neither his old wisdom to help these youngsters, don't you? Do you think it worth it? Can you pull that trigger? The destruction of these innocent robots that is."
"Hikaru," Yuuki chided. That part was gone a bit too far. Hikaru let those words linger a bit and backed off to his position.
"I can't. I can't pull that trigger. Even if staying silent is the 'wrong' choice, for me it's the right one. A white lie that can extend the peace of these robots is better than taking arms and sacrificing them for momentary peace. If you want to go there, go by yourself, two of you, or three of you if you want. I'm not taking part in any of that. If you ignore the safety of the other in your desire to stop 2C, then you're no better than revenge seeking 2C yourselves."
Thankfully, those words are spoken before the robot arrived. The food did indeed manage to calm Hikaru a bit. Still, that was a funny counter question, an interesting one regardless. Yuuki was the first one to address it first.
"...There was a philosopher in human world... he said 'I think, therefore I exist'. I don't think it's wrong. But in my case, what differentiate between human and digimon is merely our structure. Digimons are made of data, and humans are made of analog materials... but in the end, I felt like there's almost no difference between humans and Digimons bars that. When you said your piece, I felt it's the same to me. What does it means to be a human? Does it important? I feel what's the most important to me isn't the fact that I'm human, but that I'm 'me'. Even if my identity were to be those of a Digimon, I think there is nothing scarier to not be... 'me' anymore. Sure I'll get distraught if I'm not a human anymore... because the identity of 'me' is compromised of 'human' as one of its component... but to be removed as far as possible from 'me' is far scarier. What is existence in itself? For me, that existence is to life following my heart... what makes me most content... that is all."
"...For me, huh... Existence is... like a journey, I guess. I'm born in this world with a purpose, to be with Yuuki. That might sounds so shallow, but that was how it was at first. At first I never thought much about it... just as long as I'm happy, that's enough, but... that's not quite true. Before I knew it, my life got much more complex. I noticed that I began to develop more complex feeling too... Feeling of wanting to be with a special someone, having children of my own, the need to make choices... in the end I'm no longer the 'moral pet' that I knew I was back then. In the end, what made the Digimon called 'Hikaru' is my goal, my past, my present, and it's what will shape the future. So for me, my existence is like a journey... also like a book that keeps writing itself, endlessly, to the end of the time."

Rythix took in a deep breath and composed himself after Hikaru's speech "I...am a member of the 7/71st. Above all else...I care about the safety of the Digital World and all of its inhabitants. You think I'm ignoring the safety of the robots? Far from it. This is a temporary solution for them. I can't stand the idea of them eventually being found again by...somebody. Anybody that may want to bring harm to them. Is it the wrong decision to eventually go after 2C...? It...might be." he relented for a moment, then looked back up "But I can't possibly agree with the mentality that she just get away with everything's she's done to innocent people. Who's to say her story ends with this?" he said. However, he had a feeling his words would ring hollow in the end. "I...can't know for sure. We can't know for sure. All I know is I really do care about the robots and I want to see them live happily."
He felt conflicted. He didn't want to put anyone in danger, but at the same time he couldn't stand the idea of just ignoring what 2C has done. "I'll...I'll figure something out. You don't have to agree with me. You don't have to come with me when I do. But I'll figure something out. I may not have super tracking abilities or hacking skills, but what she's done here can't be allowed to be replicated at any point in the future. There are ways to do this without exposing the truth of the robots. I know there is, as nothing is truly impossible."
He eventually stopped the serious talk as the little robot asked about what it meant to be human or digimon. He thought for a moment. This was a question he asked himself at some points. "If...you ask me, it's simply the blessing to exist...to have the chance to meet others, form friendships, bonds, relationships and experience the good and the bad in the world together and always be there to support one another. It's not always happy...people disagree with each other and struggle to get along sometimes, but that's part of life. But as long as we stand up again in the face of hardship, and stand together, there is so much that can be accomplished. I-I guess what I'm getting at is...enjoy your existence, be happy to just...be. Here with your friends...and out there might be scary, but there are also wonderful things to see and wonderful people to meet...it's my hope that co-existence will one day be possible..." he said. He wanted to be supportive and friendly. To give them something to hope for.

Roy turned to Hikaru, his words while rude came from a place Roy understood, instead he decided to embrace and understand him, silently letting Hikaru finish his speech the lion knight even extending his arm to stop Yuuki who wanted to stop Hikaru, choosing to listen to his every word and then turn to Rythix. The two clash of ideology was interesting to him, but he had to jump in and speak his mind, the lion turned to look at every member of the room before beginning to say what he wanted to say.
“Hikaru, I know what you are saying. We are against dangerous odds even if we somehow manage to beat 2C there are bound to be others like her, but for every Digimon like her there is good people like us. Put them in danger ? you are surely mistaken, I plan to fulfil my promise to Adam to these machines no to these people, I will vow to protect them and that does not mean to just fight 2C and go about my merry way, I will stay here and protect them till they can do it themselves, if they won’t have Adam to guide them then I will, I will use the knowledge I gained from my previous life and teach them, if I am not enough I will call upon my other friends, I know we can help them, but I do understand my limitations. I may not be able to track 2C but I will get someone to help me do that, I know that if a group of people join forces to achieve something then the odds will be in their favor. Telling white lies ? that’s just appalling I never lie, I believe in whatever I saw 100 percent, it’s the way I was raised what I was taught as a knight who bore the crimson flag, obsession with Justice is as bad as evil itself ? excuse my rudeness but it seems like you do not understand what you are saying, to everyone there is no evil, I bet 2C sees herself as the ally of justice but we all just gotta do what is right, and I always say if what you believe in, if you do not want to come with us then don’t just know that I believe in protecting the innocent, no civilian should suffer I choose the path of constant warfare and mayhem in order to forge a new era of peace for those same innocent and my work is not done, and defeating 2C and securing a future for the inhabitants of these settlement won’t be the end either I do not know about the rest of you but I will keep on fighting for the justice I believe in and this is what I choose to do, you have your freedom as long as innocents are not harmed. Call me crazy for saying this but I will stop 2C and save everyone here, and this is no lie I believe this.”
Roy gave his speech and his peace of mind, the lion did not expect anyone to react to him positively but this was not his goal he just wanted to let everyone know what he believed in, and confirm his resolve to go through with this. Kazuya however sat idly by, merely entertained by the three Digimon butting heads, he did not care whether Hikaru joined or not but he only cared about one thing and that was how will they survive today, perhaps a bit rude, but that’s just how Kazuya is. However when the question about existence was aimed at him the man took a second to think about the answer and in the meanwhile he listened to the answer Yuuki gave.
“ well for me I guess it’s the fact that I can think and also have memories and emotions attached to those memories, and if I lose all of my memories I guess I still exist by making new memories, it’s a really weird question that I have not gave many thought to. And Yuuki said whatever I can think of so I agree with him.”
“as for me I guess it’s the fact that I am a free being that has the ability to say whatever I want and o what I want, that is the proof of my existence and I will hold on to this freedom and try to live life the way I want and so I guess that’s what existence is to me, I hope this answer is satisfying.”

The machine's fingers tapped together as her head darted among each speaker as they spoke their part. It was quickly apparent that she was missing a lot of the context in their discussion, and had no idea how to add to it or how to properly stop it from escalating. It was only when it died down that she had the bravery to speak. " ...I feel like I'm missing a lot of the context for this argument, but perhaps I could butt in? I don't want to see you all argue like this. The last group of digimon that came here who argued like this...it did not end well." " Adam's been doing what he can to keep us safe...so if something's going to happen to him and he won't be able to actively protect us, perhaps he already has something in mind to keep us safe? Perhaps that was what you were all discussing here before he left? I don't believe he'd just force any of you to stay here so we aren't harmed by...whoever this 2C person is. I'm sure that you have a life of your own outside of your dealings with us, and none of us would want you to abandon it just for our sake." At least among all the arguing, she was able to get answers to her question. " All of your answers were satisfying. I suppose I don't really consider myself a 'machine'. I just consider myself as 'Nadia''...though I don't know much about how humans or digimon live, so maybe being 'Nadia' is what being a 'machine' is? But other machines don't act like I do, so maybe I'm just strange?" She paused for a moment, looking down, thinking about her own words for just moment. She soon looked back up. " I suppose once Adam has ensured our safety, we'll be able to leave our home, and we'll truly be free to walk the world and learn about what wonders have been waiting. I've always wondered what the world outside is like, though from what I could gather from brief glimpses, it's hot and sandy. But if there are more digimon and humans like you all out there, then it would be enough for me to make a place where they can all visit, to serve as a break. So even if I'm staying here, I can meet others and form bonds and friendships, even with organics. Your cooperation is more than enough proof that coexistence is possible." yuuki Kazuya and Royland rythix

"Hm, that's was wise indeed," Hikaru replied to Rythix, seem to be content. "If your wish is true then don't forget that honoring wishes of those who you wanted to save is important. If Adam said that done is done, then it's best to stay that way. If they request for your protection, then at that moment you can move. If you want to share some method of communication with them, you have to do them at this time by consulting with Adam. Otherwise there bound to be holes with your plan. He, after all, the one who knows our 'client'" Hikaru seem to gag at that part "most. Most of all however, please consult to Owen before you act. I'm sure he'll be supportive. "
Still, Royland's long rant was not one that Hikaru was pleased with. Far from it. "Excuse me, Miss... Nadia, was it? Thank you for supplementing your thought on this. I don't believe you're strange... perhaps, you're one of very first few with self awareness. It's a boon, I say, so never say that you're weird. However, do excuse me, I have something to address first to this one guy. Yuuki, you stay out of this."
The human facepalmed and let out a long sigh. Ultimately, he waved his hand in gesture of 'well, go on'.
"Knight, your speech is very passionate, but one riddled with holes. 'Many like 2C' you say? But as far as I know only 2C seem to want to have anything with these people. Before you want to talk about the 'other', why don't you first talk about matter at hand? Why are you still insisting to chase on 2C when we have chance to end it right here and now? You'll 'stay here'? Would you truly believe that 2C won't check this place thoroughly for the corpse of the robots to ensure whether we're lying or not? What are you going to do then? Follow them to their new place?
By telling this to the other you're involuntarily creates stream of people that will know about 2C and the robots. Let's say your friends won't leak their existence to anyone else, but what if you're somehow followed? You wanna use portal or something? What if that's tracked? Do you know exactly how 2C operates? Never tell a lie? Well aren't you a paragon of righteousness! Still, I hope you know that most people out there is not like that!
"Are you seriously want to destroy each and every one of that argument? I understand that you're pissed because that could undo every one of our plan, but..."
"Oh why yes! It's best to challenge this, in my opinion," Hikaru answered to his partner's interruption. "Nice speech about justice. Who taught that to you? You claim that my understanding of evil is flawed, but aren't your understanding even more so? To everyone there is no evil? Oh, why, keep repeating that to yourself. Why would someone keep going on repeating that the other side is evil, evil and evil? Evil is subjective, but there's ultimately one kind of evil for sure. That is blind action. Each action have its consequence. To pull everyone else to consequence of your action while they did not consent to it, and ultimately causes their demise or harm is 'evil'. That is why I say your parading of wanting to put end to 2C is almost no different than evil itself. Do these people want that? You ask them yourself. A knight's duty is to protect people, but if the people does not desire that would you still insist on that? Don't fix what's not broken, knight. Far from saving them from danger, you might attract them to danger instead.
The young lady have said it. Honor their wish. They don't want to pursue this anymore. They want to be free, from all this bullshit about 2C. They want to live free from fear. Would you like to start this all over again with 2C? Or would you give them sanctuary? If none of my unwelcome counsel would wake you up from all of these 'stopping 2C' nonsense when we seriously have no mean to find her or way to stop her other than killing her, then I rest my case. I will take no part in that madness of 'what if's."
"On that topic of sanctuary," Yuuki suddenly interjected. "Miss Nadia, if you or your friends would like to have a permanent residence or perhaps another place to visit, somewhere else with similar security as this, and chances to coexist with Digimons; we, KIZNA, is ready to accept you with open arms. This offer extends to you and your friends and family. Coexistence is our desire, and we have a town for that. We're gathering residences for people, human, digimon, or any digital lifeforms who wishes to live together in harmony. I think it'll be a nice experience for you, of course if so you desire."

Rythix buzzed angrily as the overall argument progressed "Okay, that's enough! All of you!" he shouted as he stepped between them "Fine, we get it, let them find their way and honor their wishes, yes that's important. Let them handle their own freedom and live how they want, free from all of this. But please, let's stop arguing. Nadia is right. We need cohesion. We need to agree to disagree if we're going to get past this together...if we're all fuming at each other we can't possibly succeed as a group. Once Adam comes back and we're all set to continue, we drop this argument. There's no point in it right now, got it?" he started to assert himself. It seemed stress brought out a different side to the Honeybeemon. Despite this, he still felt unsure about just letting 2C off the hook with absolutely no consequences for her actions and would still hold firm to his plan on defending the robots should they ever need his help again. He disagreed that their actions were blind justice. She hurt people. Led people to their deaths. It's not right to just let them get away forever like nothing ever happened.
Once he got that burst of anger out of his system, he sighed and looked over at Nadia "I apologize for this. It must look really unprofessional but I'll do my best to uphold my promises. And if you truly consider yourself more than a machine, then you're more than a machine. Like you said, you're Nadia. Your own person and individual with the same rights to exist as anyone else. Give the others time. I'm sure they'll awaken and find out who they are just as you have. It'll be on you and Adam to get them adjusted though, okay? I believe in all of you." he said with a happy smile. "Let's get you out of here as soon as possible so you can see the world beyond. There's so much more out there aside from sand and heat. Beautiful green forests, expansive beaches with breathtaking oceans...it's all great. You'll find a home for yourselves out there!"

Note: Due to a leave of absence, Kazuya and Royland will no longer be part of this mission
Nadia once again resumed her anxious finger-tapping as she failed to actually stop the argument from continuing - only delaying it for a moment. It was to her fortune that at least one of them just wanted to end the argument right then and there. " Thank you for your offers. I'd be glad to visit if I get the chance, but this place will always be my home...and I guess it'll be hard to visit you all if I stay here. But once we're self-sufficient and able to reliably provide for non-machine life, I'd extend the invitation to you as well...though I'm not sure I have the authority to really make that offer. I suppose Adam is the only one who could offer that." It seemed like Nadia wanted to say more, but for a moment, she appeared distracted, her head turning to the entrance of the building. " It would seem that Adam requests everyone to meet in the town center, including all of you. I can show you all the way there...though it shouldn't be hard to miss. We aren't going to be the first ones there." If the group were to follow, it would be obvious where town center was, due to how many machines were gathered there. While there would be a few sets of completely-identical machines, they was a great variance in the structure of each who were attending - some the size of a human's head, others taller than the buildings around them. Some even seemed illogically constructed, yet seemed to function just as well as their brethren. Rythix might even recognize a few as the smaller robots that had been watching the group before their meeting with Adam. Even the long eye stalks of the door machine looking within - evidently not allowing its immobility or its duty to stop it from investigating.
And at the center of the crowd was the scene the group had discussed before. It would be easy to assume that there actually had been a massacre here, as the bodies littered the area were covered in various tears and shred marks. Some were made from weapons, others claws, others throw blasts or some kind of energy attack. Closer investigation would reveal their insides were hollow, and they all lacked the cores that Adam had mentioned before. And what truly acted as proof of their deaths were that they all lacked the distinct glow in their eyes that the other machines the group had met had - which would be easy to compare with the machine crowd that had formed. Only a single body seemed undamaged, but it was still empty on the inside. And of course, at the center of this faux-massacre was Adam, who was putting a last few touches on laying the corpses out. Carefully, delicately, silently. Only the crowd surrounding him made any noise, and it was murmurs at most. Most bouncing the same question among each other, asking what Adam was doing. yuuki rythix

"I see, so you choose to stay at the moment, hmn. I can understand," Yuuki nodded at that. ...Well, looks like that Adam is ready. Considering how the breakup happened, he's not sure if he can depend on the other two to talk with 2C. Yuuki reluctantly picked up the D-Terminal. At least this time around he know he's not hacked.... yet. He need to find a way to get some immunity from the hacking. He need something akin to a Digivice and phone fusion.
Upon reaching the center, Yuuki and Hikaru was treated with a rather... detailed sight. Hikaru was the first to investigate it. "...Yeah, this might strongly pass for what we were told to do..." he told to his partner in low voice. First and foremost is how to match their narrative with the wounds that happened here... and thankfully it's all matched. Hopefully.
Yuuki could not contact 2C at the moment. Adam is still alive, therefore the field of jamming is still here. However, he have typed pre-made text. It only said something simple at the moment:
"Mission accomplished, all robots are destroyed as per your instruction."
He closed the D-Terminal for now, wondering if he should add more if Adam have anything to say for now.

Rythix sighed as the argument finally simmered down. Now all that was left was to see what the next step in the mission was. There was still a bit to do...Rythix bowed his head to Nadia "I'd love to visit when this is all over...I-I'm not sure if you need to eat or can taste, but I'd love to teach you h-how to bake some nice food for people who visit."
Once Nadia said that it was time to head to the town center, he followed along closely as he looked at the gathering of robots. There were quite a few of them, all curious to the massive cluster of robot shells that Adam was arranging. It was a depressing sight to see, but at least these were empty husks. And from the looks of it, they might actually make a convincing case to trick 2C. At least he hoped it would. The other robots seemed confused as to what Adam was doing, but knew it wasn't his place to explain it. He just let Adam continue as normal.
He looked over at Yuuki as he prepared a message to send over to 2C. This whole thing has been a wild ride, but he was determined to see it to the end. "We'll get through this." he said to those within earshot, but mostly to reassure himself about what was going on. Curiosity...these robots wanted to learn. They worried for their leader. They could get through this too. It might be difficult, but he believed in them.
