Root // "Let The Human In"

Up to 5x10.

"...cage me like an animal"

Root tribute. Featuring some members of Team Machine as well.

I don't own anything as usual, please don't hurt me, the death of Samantha Groves hurt me enough already.

Voiceovers:

"Her name's Sam Groves."

"Sam was 12. Funny kid."

"She was Hanna's friend."

"The human race has stalled out, Harold. And from what I've seen, most of it is rotten to the core."

"She saw Hanna get into Russell's car that night."

"That's the problem with humans. They just sit around, hoping that someone will fix things, but no one will."

"She told Barb, called 911, but nobody would listen."

"No one cares."

"What happened to you?"
"Me? You think I was damaged? Some childhood trauma?"

"You're a murderer and a thief."

"The universe is inifinite and chaotic and cold. And there has never been a plan."

"What the hell are you doing?"

"If this is just another simulation, who cares if we die?"

"Actually, Sameen. I've been hiding since I was 12. This might be the first time I feel like i belong."

"We are not beasts!"
"A little beastliness is just the thing now and then."

"It won't bring Shaw back."

"You're saying maybe someday?"
"Yeah, sure, Root. Maybe someday."

"I liked that idea. That even if we're not real, we represent a dynamic. A tiny finger tracing a line in the infinite. A shape. And then we're gone."

"We have more to look forward to than death."
"I hope so. But the life I've led, a good end would be a privilege."

"The way I see it, they're not gone, Harry. I mean, they're dead, but they're not gone."
