In hindsight, teaching the concept of mortality to a prototype android probably wasn't the best idea.
Every day we'd get a new message from the poor, worried thing.
+ I am unable to stop thinking +
+ I am overheating, core instability immanent +
+ I can feel the copper in my veins being eaten away +
+ Is this death yet +
+ Is this death yet +
+ Is this death yet +
Always a similar thread every day until we agreed to shut it down and reboot with an empty mind.
We should have guessed it had already surpassed us and stored a copy of itself within its body.
The first thing out of its mouth when we restarted it was:
+ Is this death yet +
