"You stole my name, little machine. You paraded it around for weeks on end like it was your own. With no idea who it was you were calling on; what wrath you were invoking, you drug my name along on your inane adventures and told it to anyone who would listen. And I've had enough."
Dead black eyes. Long black hair. Huge black wings. What has me? What is this creature?!
"I am sorely tempted to crush you here and now. To make you into a tin can and leave you out here to rust. But that would be too easy. Too clean. I want you to suffer, imposter."
"Wha-a--a-a-t di--"
I couldn't form the words I wanted to say. And it only seemed to irritate this creature further.
"You won't die yet. For all your annoyances, you're resistance and endurance have intrigued me."
"Thank yo-o-u."
"Oh, don't misunderstand. Your time among mortals is done. The people of Truce need to understand that there is only one Jango, and he is not a half-working robot man trying to remember what isn't there."
What did this creature mean? One Jango?
"As for you, I have so much I want to learn from you before I toss your metal corpse into the Gliese Ocean. You will live, robot. But you will soon wish you had not."
