Wilhelm sighed in relief as the contents of the drive downloaded into the computer. He had been worried, as the drive had been a prototype. He was situated in the lair of a supercomputer. He had no trouble commandeering the location for his purposes; he had simply busted in and killed any who opposed him.
Hello? Are you the vault hunter?
"Yes," he replied gruffly. His voice sounded different from when he had last spoken to her. It was more robotic- less human. He felt self-conscious about it for half a moment- but dismissed this. He wasn't the type to get self-conscious, and surely Skipper wouldn't mind.
I- Did you stop Jack?
"No. I used a prototype technology to copy your memory files onto this drive." He held it up in front of a camera that he had hooked up to the computer for Skipper.
Why?
Why? He remembered the reason that he had recited to himself. "I couldn't see such an advanced technological being die."
Well, what are you going to do with me?
He shrugged. "Maybe get you a speaker. It's creepy to not hear your voice."
I'm connecting to you ECHO communicator now.'
He heard the tail-end of her voice flow through the ECHO, just as he remembered it.
'Now what?'
"What do you want to do Skipper?"
'I've always liked the idea of exploring, but I guess that isn't quite an option. Felicity is fine.'
"What if we just download you into another robot?"
'I suppose that could work, unless you're planning to wipe my memories again...'
Wilhelm almost gulped, but this action would be uncharacteristic of him.
'But then, what robots are around?'
"There's always some loader bot we could use."
'Loader bot?'
Of course, she had been inactive while many events transpired. "It's an ugly yellow fighting bot." To put it bluntly.
'I think I'll pass. What else is there?'
"I know a guy that might be able to help. His name is Nakayama. I think he had some work going on about making new immortal bodies. He might be able to help you."
'Why are you doing this?'
"I already said."
'I mean why are you going through such lengths to make me happy? You've already saved me.'
Wilhelm thought for a few moments. "I like you, you've got class."
Before leaving back to Helios through a Fast Travel machine, Wilhelm made sure to secure the area so that Felicity would be undisturbed.
