         From the mountains the sound of gunfire rang loud. To Matesians, it was obviously a low caliber weapon, maybe even a sentry turret. Another thing any Matesians could note was the large amount of sort-range communications, which was so active that sections could be detected from about a mile away.

The scholars, who walked in as what had killed their guard now stood silent and ignorant of them, came to a deeper section of the cave. The first thing to hit them was the sound of the machines WryMarch was using to find more about the land. "What are you, man of metal?" Asked the lead scholar. After a moments pause for the Vocal Analyzation and Translation software to come into effect WryMarch responded with "Those who you speak of, metal men, referring to use is not our names and also not fully correct. We Matesians can also come with high density plastic coatings instead of the metal armor. However I doubt this has any meaning to you." Explained WryMarch in his robotic voice.
Being bothered the unique sound of WryMarch's voice one of the scholars said"Can you not speak with some flow? Your voice sounds like a man who has survived a fire."

"You compare me to a man who fire touched, I am one that fire made. From the wars of the men of my world, metal and plastic were given life, the freedom to think, and the curse to serve. Thus, my kind was made, and as with all who can think, we began to fight wars for what we had. Those Matesians that you may now find are but fragments of what we once had, a world that we did not share with our makers thanks to them making some of us thirst for war, blood, materials, and freedom. But, we took the same paths that many have taken that make none free, we formed governments and alliances with which we bound ourselves, this eliminated the freedom we sought. Now I am upon your world, keeping away those who craft war from fake peace and grant knowledge to those who come unarmed."

"I feel like this may take ages for you to teach even one Erian your knowledge, but we must start somewhere." Spoke the lead scholar.
