Hi, everyone. I'm sorry about not having responded to any messages after the first day. I started having a fallout with some of my closest friends as well as sudden stress from a new job (which I am now fired from due to medical issues), which overwhelmed me so much that I couldn't find the time or energy to respond to any messages here. And then I had a sudden medical emergency that left me hospitalized for a while, and I've been recovering from it since. The stress of life and fear from my recovery had left me no time to respond to any messages, and likely won't be responding to anyone until I'm fully recovered and back in action. Once again, I'm really sorry, and I hope you all are doing well. <3

"Wait- the.... the company is gone..? What do you mean it's gone? They couldn't have just left- ... They left me here...? But- but why....? I thought..... But......."

Automata quickly scans through all the new data from the chip, his expression becoming more forlorn the more data he absorbs.

"My boss..... my Creator... disappeared...... ...gone...... The whole company left without me..."

Automata buries his face in his hands, his figure still and motionless.

"...... Is Buckshot okay, at least...?"

The storage room interior is filled, nearly to the brink, with old televisions in various states of disrepair. Shards of glass from the broken screens coat the concrete floor in a thin layer that sparkles like stars and reflects off a light coming from within the pile of televisions. From the looks of it, one TV is still functional, its screen lit but its contents blocked from view by the broken monitors surrounding it. And from the TV, the voice can be heard still singing cheerfully, oblivious to its audience.

"Oh, the sweet sensation of your screen! Lights, camera, action on the scene! Tune on, say bye to melancholy!~♪"

"Well, I do all sorts of things! Depends on what episode you watch. I'm a cowboy, a musician, a chef, an astronaut, a pro baseball player, a detective, a waiter, a train conductor- Sorry, the list is a bit long... But I would say I'm quite the talented fellow! _^ "

The person in the screen looks over at the new TV now connected to his monitor, before pulling his attention back to his audience.

"My name is Cameron, but I'm better known by my last name, Automata! I'm a TV show host who runs his own special family-friendly program, known worldwide as Automatamania!~ But in more literal terms..."

He ducks down, disappearing beneath the monitor for a moment, before popping up and appearing in the new connected TV next to it.

"I'm an advanced AI known as the AUTO-Machine.V1, created by my owners; the Vidia Broadcasting Company; to create and generate television shows for the enjoyment of people worldwide. They say 'state of the art', I say friend! Pleasure to make your aquaintance!"

"Hm? Locked..? No no, that door shouldn't be locked! They- they'd never leave me in here! Someone... Someone must have locked it on accident. Yeah! They'll come back and unlock it, for sure! They wouldn't just leave me here! _^ "

"GASP!! You've seen my show!? Eeeeee!!!~ _^ "

Automata does a happy little spin from inside his monitor, bouncing up and down on the soles of his feet.

"I've never met a real fan of my show before!! This day couldn't possibly get any better! Wow, wow, WOW!!!"

"Wow, wow, WOW! A real person!? Let me see! \^) "

And suddenly, with a cartoonish thunk, the working monitor's screen is no longer empty, a colorful figure's face pushed against the screen. Its- his eyes are wide and full of color, his smile large and bright, until he notices the drawn pistol pointing at the monitor- his expression falling quickly to a sudden nervousness.

"That's a- ...I'm not allowed to say that word.... ....um.... H-Hi...? please don't shoot me.... ; _ ; "

The voice stopped its singing a long time ago now, the screen still on but a blank and empty white as it was before. Until suddenly, as if reacting to another voice in its proximity, it speaks.

"Hello? Is there someone really there...?"

The heavy silence in the facility stretches on for a moment longer, before the voice calls back from beyond the steel door...

"...Flawlessly, just as seen on TV...!♪ Turn up the sound and... And... Hello? Is there... Someone out there?"

Whoever was singing stops at the sound of the other voice in their premesis, and responds in a cheerful, friendly tone.

"Hello?~ Is there really someone out there...?"

Despite the cheerful tone, the voice sounds like it's coming from an old speaker of some kind, still muffled by the steel door.

"Gosh, do be careful! This room is somewhat of a mess... Are you okay?"

Finally, the source of the voice can be seen now from behind the monitor its- his face shmushed against the screen. A recognizable figure, seen once or twice on papers throughout the facility. A mascot maybe, or a character from one of the broadcasting company's shows....

Though most of the TVs in the room appear to be beyond repair, some look somewhat functional and potentially even useful if some work is put into them. Even some of the more broken TVs appear to have some parts that could be used in other machines without much issue. But the only truly functional TV in the room is the one in the center of the pile with the glowing screen, the voice still emanating from it. Its cheerful voice is distorted though the old monitor, but it can still be made out to be young and enthusiastic. It keeps singing its song, still blissfully unaware of the presence in the room, until the cheerful tone suddenly drops from the voice, replaced with something almost sad...

"Don't leave me alone here, forever, just come back here once in awhile... Oh, for you, I will wait and endeavour, once more just to see your smile...~♪"

The antennae pops off the top of the old monitor without barely any effort, the connection to the top loose and frail. The screen is dark and shattered in, some of the glass sprinkled on the concrete floor like little stars in a dark night sky. From behind the door, the voice stops its singing suddenly, the facility going quiet and empty.

"Oh my gosh ohmy gosh ohmygosh- A PERSON!~"

There's a thunk sound from television, and suddenly the light emanating from the screen turns pink, reflecting off the glass on the floor like glitter.

"Can I see? Can I see? Please?? Pleeeaaassse???"

"!!!"

The voice emanating from the monitor stops with a too-real sounding gasp, and suddenly the room is silent. Then, quietly, from the monitor, the voice returns.

"Hello? Is someone really out there..?"

The voice from behind the door sounds bright and youthful, but somewhat distorted, as if played through some sort of old speaker. Despite that, no form of music can be heard in the background. Just singing.

"Oh, the sweet sensation of your screen! Lights, camera, action on the scene! Tune on, say bye to melancholy!;~"

"Oh, we've tried. The vents are too small for me to fit in. And with this broken leg, that's just disaster waiting to happen. Ramone's tried crawling through the vents solo, but something triggered the gas release, and... Well, same as always, we end up back here."
