you.... dont know why... but humans still where alive, you keep seeing them in the corner of you're eyes every time you do what the collective had assign you, you dont have a name or anything, just an extention of the cluster,

but soon the curiousity burns through you're circuits, you had to know, ignoring you're derective, you left you're position and orders.

last thing the cluster had said as soon as it noticed you're eradic behavior, though being slightly older then what usually the survice life was ment for you, the cluster noted you're ignorance to the derective.

"Prüfer unit-583-694-762, return t-"

you disconnected from the cluster, they would only hinder you, possibly send you to be replaced and using you for scrap, you.. didnt care, you where too curious on one thing... why are humans still existing.. they all should be dead, but every time you notice that small movments in the cracks of ruin places, humans still alive, you're proccessor started to compute on its own as it trys to find an answer, but out of the thousands a miniute possiblities, none where likely... until one answer that was so illogical that it might be right, the human heart, their spirit

you wernt going to go back to the cluster, you where easy to replace any way, so whats the effort in chacing a single unit,

you fly through the sky's, hiding in places that humans might run through for what they need,

nearly a few close findings but the black ash or some lower predators got them not any that you could get answers from dying or already dead,

you start to try to find colony's or any sort of spot where humans are gathering..

you watch quietly on how they interacted or talked, eventually you see a human going off by their own you followed until they where a bit away from the heart of the mountain away from the hidden village.

as far humans the humans know if they didnt attack a machina, they wont be seen as a threat by the entire cluster witch would be the end of what remains of them, but you where not connected to the cluster, you wouldn't probably attack them even if possibly provoked, you wanted to know one thing, learn on humans how they survive and how they communicate with the heart. you where strong, but not truly designed for combat. you where only 32% combat effective compared to you're actual combat designed brethren
