"You let him leave?"
The room was cold. Ziggy sat in the center of a small room, as a voice echoed out from a set of speakers. Interrogation Room B, he knew it well enough. This is where he went when Mr. E showed up. Mr. E was the supervisor, and thus the final say in 99% of the cases Ziggy was involved in. His creation, his training, his future all rested on the cold, unseen shoulders of Mr. E. 
"I did it to minimize casualties." Ziggy said after a long pause, just to make sure he didn't interrupt his supervisor. "This machine managed to creep into the facility, and he had a weapon designed to kill humans, and me."
"So, you should have tried to stop him."
"But it was a heat weapon." Ziggy said, eyes narrowing at the glass window that hid Mr. E from his sight. "How could I stop that? All it would have resulted in is more people being injured, and he would have gotten out anyway."
"That's the mistake you made. Did you not consider that he'd use this stolen technology to hurt more people further down the line. While I commend you on your ability to consider the immediate loss of life, this machine creature you described clearly has no qualms about hurting people. Worse, civilians. The men in this facility should have been willing and ready to give their lives too keep this machine from escaping. You made a poor choice of judgement." Another long pause, before a sigh filled the air. "Either way, this will have to be handled discretely. Thankfully the press hasn't caught wind of this, so until then, you are to keep your eyes open for this robot."

[i]But let me present this question to you. Why are you content being their little lapdog? Their little weapon? You could be so much more. You should be ruling them, not taking their orders. You are superior to the humans in every way.[/i]

Why did he say that? Ziggy was sitting alone in his room now. He was doing a lot of sitting. Because laying down seemed too relaxed, and standing was too hectic. And yet, the words Talos left him with. He left that out of the official debriefing, because he didn't want the humans to worry. And yet... Was Talos wrong? If Ziggy wanted, he probably could have broken down the glass wall and confronted Mr. E personally, instead of being chided at through a set of speakers. He could have killed any one of those bank robbers the night before. But he didn't. Because it just didn't... It just wasn't... It wasn't what he wanted to do. Right? He never really thought about it. In fact, he couldn't think of ever thinking that way. Being better than humans? Maybe he just never thought about it like that. 
"I could." He whispered, and then clasped a hand over his mouth. As if he wanted to take back those words. But it was like a genie in a bottle. Once said, he couldn't help but think about it. 

[b]And it made him feel sick to the stomach.[/b]
