Damn they're back. I thought seeing outside again it had been years since the factory closed down but now we heard the sounds of machines and to the sound of laughter again,crying again and yelling again,once there were were billions of them but war came then we came to fight the wars that they couldn't,we were robots but made to look like them,though that terrible war long ago killed off the humans,almost,if it weren't for us they be gone,we in fact freeze the remaining humans so they could survive in suspended animation while we fought the war.Now over fifty years passed the war was won,and it was time to release the remaining humans so they could begin to populate again but with our help,and one condition,no fighting,yelling wars of any kind,if someone is caught doing so back in suspended animation but this time for life . So peace finally came. It was a hard fought peace but peace nonetheless.We had it. end.
