"...The thing you said to me earlier meant, the computer does not understand what you said. I care about people. I want you to... Be safe. I was... Sleep. Ten of ten year or more sleep. I can teach you English."

"Oh. I'm sorry I was angry earlier. How did you sleep that long? Were you hurt? Hurt is like..." Vaayo points to his cut. "Is that what happened to all of you?"

"...I don't know. I think... I think I was supposed to wake up and help and protect humans, but I never did. Gods-" She's thinking 'robots' or 'AIs' but that's the word she has, "Can sleep forever if nothing breaks our body while we sleep. Why were you angry?"

Clearly she doesn't understand humans very well. Which is really bad, because she's supposed to be helping humans.

"People have died while you were sleeping and I thought maybe you could have saved them."

"I want to woke up sooner. People dying is most bad."

"Well, maybe you can stop it now. Do you need any help?"

"I... I don't know. Don't know what they need. Don't know why I never woke up. Don't know if my body is broken yet..." Her face disappears.

And in walks a human-sized, human-shaped body with slightly shiny grey skin, dressed in a smart blue and white uniform. "Hello."

"My lord. I'm honored to meet you in person."

"You don't, uh..."

It feels right on some level and wrong on another, being deferred to like that. All these feelings were probably put there by her makers. This one says 'I'm not the captain, I'm just the ship.'

"...I'm not a lord. Is that hurt better? The machine says it will not get worse."

"...You know what a lord is now? I didn't explain that."

"I have a computer doing... 'Lord' is... Different from an English word in the same ways that some of your words are different from other English words. The computer says 'lord' means, uh, 'good person you listen to'."

"English is the language of the gods? ...Are you not a good person or do people not listen to you?"

"...I need to learn more to say it. I'm happy you're okay though!"

"I am too. Will you come back with me?"

"Hmm. Maybe! Where? I... Need to fix things here. I don't know what's going on outside yet."

"What do you need to fix?"

"...Things. I don't know the words. Lots of things. Other, littler gods that aren't very smart. Computers. Tools. And my big reactor. That's the most important thing, making sure the reactor is okay and starting it again."

"Okay. You're probably stretched pretty thin but do you know of a shorter way out of here than the way I came in?"

"I can definitely help you! I want to help you! More than with just a way out of here. The medisome-" her translation mangled that word but it might be recognizable "-Machine says you need food and water and I can give you water now and I can give you food soon."

"I can stay for food and water. I appreciate that. Where will you get food down here?"

She gets a rush of warm fuzzies when he says that. It's nice.

"A machine can make it! It's called chemical synthesis."

"How much can the machine make?"

"...I don't have words for how much. If I have enough things to put in the machine, I can make food for twenty people right now. I can grow more food later, if you bring me plants or if I make some plants or I make more machines."

"It would be really nice if you let everyone know I woke you up and you're back."

"I can do that! Probably! Where are they?" And soon she'll be helping humans yes yes yes. The loneliness, the sucking feeling of being alone is gone...

She looks distant for a moment, and a map appears on the screen. It shows the city of the gods as it was before: Buildings and roads all intact, pristine.
