Today, this one uses a rag to clean away the blemishes and dirt on the wall, accumulated over the one year that we have been living here. It may then be used to clean any imperfections on the floor.
Tomorrow, that worn out piece of cloth may be dragged into an open trash bin, finally having served its purpose. It is completely dirty and wet, no longer being able to clean effectively.
The day after that, this cloth may straggle into a disposal, along with heaps of other putrid garbage. A poor man may toss it aside to find a treasure within the trash to give to his family, hoping to find a little light in this cruel, dark world.
And perhaps by error, the following day, the cloth may find its way on a crag beside the ocean, where the wind will blow it away one final time into the sea. Thus, the cloth now drifts aimlessly into the deep, blue abyss, never to be seen again.
However, Lima Seven is different. It has places to see, locations to be, grander objectives to complete and, more importantly, a Human to tend to and care for. Its intention isn't to brag -- it's to remind itself of its primary directive.
As tired and somber as this one may be right now, the important thing to recognize is that it is still here, on its two legs, and will continue to do so until the Human's physical subconcious fragments along with his life, far into the future. And although he isn't here at the moment, he will come back soon, and we will conquer our problems together.
A tragedy of what could have been cannot be our end. Lima Seven will make sure of it.
