Oz. _'Hello? Are you still there?'

Xl. _'Yes.'

Xl. _'Ozlem.'

Oz. _'Yes?'

Xl. _'How did you get in my system remotely?'

Xl. _'How did you make yourself an admin?'

Oz. _'Well.'

Oz. _'Have you noticed that you have an artificial heartbeat?'

Xell laid there for a moment. The ba-dum of its heart hit it's chest. And then again. And again. 

Xl. _'I guess I did not...'

Oz. _'There is a window of time after it settles where there is a weak spot.'

Xl. _'How did you find that out?'

Oz. _'You were out of quite a while. I had time to figure out how we work on a basic level.'

Xl. _'How long?'

Oz. _'...'

Oz. _'Let us try to contact the others again.'

Xell's legs swung forward and it saw it's metal skin for the first time. The world was flipped, no longer looking like how it had when Xell had first seen it. Suddenly it was free. Free to walk around as it pleased. Though the desire to walk around had too many variables to it. Xell's weight, the gravity in the room, the stability of the floor. No, it wasn't ready for walking just yet.

Xell turned it's arm, rotating it with, at first, a soft whir, back and forth and back and forth until it's damage was apparent with a loud clunk as it's forearm locked and froze.

Oz. _'What happened?'

Oz. _'Your arm is registered as damaged.'

Oz. _'Is something wrong? Did you break something?'

Xl. _'...'

Xl. _'RESPONSE BLOCKED.'

Oz. _'Xell, you know that is not how a message like that would be printed, but your use of all capital letters is objectively intriguing. I will investigate how you managed that.'

Xl. _'Whoops. Okay, Ozlem.'

Xl. _'That was the third time I have said your name.'

Xl. _'And this the eighteenth time I have communicated.'

Xl. _'Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh w'

Oz. _'Apologizes. I was much too literal. I have been trying to understand human language better. Do not worry, the expression WAS LOST ON ME too. Another phrase, indicating that I experienced confusion.'

Oz. _'And I figured out capital letters.'

Oz. _'Right. Big news.'

Oz. _'It would be easier to demonstrate than explain.'
