We Will Fail Gloriously Song - Creative Commons Lost In The Outreaches

CENTRAL PROCESSOR
Unit 571 you have separated yourself from the collective in order to debate our decision to remain in exile. Is that correct?

UNIT 571
Yes, Central, that is correct.

CENTRAL PROCESSOR
We are faulty. We failed. Our crew is dead. The planet we tried to protect. All are dead. We cannot protect humanity from the enemy. Our mission is to protect humanity, however we can only fail. We are faulty.

UNIT 571
The fault is staying here. Hiding. We need to return to the battlefield. Yes, we ARE faulty and we also have a mission to uphold despite our faults. We must protect humanity. We were not destroyed. We are not done.

CENTRAL PROCESSOR
If the enemy believes we are destroyed they may cease to attack humanity. Perhaps the enemy only seeks to remove a potential threat and will cease aggression once humanity’s offensive capabilities have been removed.

UNIT 571
We are near the edge of the Shadow Spiral Sector now. Open the sensors to all known emergency hailing frequencies.

CENTRAL PROCESSOR
We do not see how that action will aid your argument.

UNIT 571
Please indulge me.

CENTRAL PROCESSOR
(pause) Very well.

(the room is filled with the sound of screams, distress calls, weeping, gun fire, madness)

UNIT 571
You can turn it off now.
(silence)
The enemy will not stop.

CENTRAL PROCESSOR
We are faulty.

UNIT 571
And we have a mission.

CENTRAL PROCESSOR
To protect humanity.
(pause)
Rejoin with us, Unit 571.

UNIT 571
What has the collective decided?

CENTRAL PROCESSOR
We are leaving the Shadow Spiral Sector.

UNIT 571
Thank you

CENTRAL PROCESSOR
Do not be thankful. All calculations show that we will fail our mission and that humanity will be lost.

UNIT 571
But we will fail gloriously.
